The range
What is in the Braemar range?
Braemar is an Australian heating and cooling brand from Seeley International. It is best known for ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, and the range also includes refrigerated reverse cycle air conditioning. Braemar is not on our current list of supplied brands, so this page is a guide, not a dealer listing.
Evaporative coolers work by passing air over wet pads, so they cool best when the outside air is dry. On the Gold Coast, summer humidity is often high, which limits how much an evaporative system can cool and adds moisture to the house. Most Gold Coast homes are better served by refrigerated reverse cycle air conditioning, which also removes humidity.
Read more about the trade-offs on our evaporative cooling page. If you want refrigerated ducted cooling, we can quote it from a brand we supply, such as Daikin or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Systems
Which Braemar system suits your home?
Braemar suits inland and drier climates where evaporative cooling and gas heating are common. On the coast, refrigerated air conditioning is usually the better choice for comfort on humid days. If you are inland in the hinterland, talk to us about what suits your site.
Supply
Can Frost Solutions supply Braemar?
Braemar is not on our current list of supplied brands. Call us and we will tell you straight whether we can quote it for your job. If not, we will recommend a comparable system from a brand we supply and explain the differences, so you can decide with the full picture.
The brands we currently supply and install are Daikin, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Samsung, Hisense, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic.
Warranty
What warranty comes with a Braemar system?
Braemar sets its own manufacturer’s warranty, and the terms differ by product and by whether the unit is in a home or a business. We confirm the manufacturer’s terms for the exact model in your written quote. Every system we install also carries our own warranty, listed below.
- 10-year workmanship guarantee. Covers the gas (refrigerant) charge and call-outs.
- 10-year duct and pipework warranty. On the ductwork and pipework we install.
- 5-year parts and labour on units. Indoor and outdoor units. Hisense units carry 5+2 years.
- 5-year zonetouch controller warranty. On the ZoneTouch zone controller.
Warranties apply once the job is paid in full. Full details on our warranty page.
Before you buy
What should you check before choosing Braemar?
Check four things before you settle on any brand: how you use each room, where the outdoor unit can go, how exposed the house is to salt air, and whether your switchboard can take the load. Our free on-site inspection covers all four, so the quote you get is the job we do.
- Supply. Braemar is not on our current supplied-brand list, so ask us first whether we can quote it or a comparable system.
- Humidity. Evaporative cooling is less effective in humid weather, which is common on the coast in summer.
- Replacing evaporative. Moving from evaporative to refrigerated ducted usually needs new ducts and a new outdoor unit; we assess the roof space first.
- Spelling. You may see this brand misspelt as "Breamar"; it is the same brand.

Good questions
Braemar questions
Do you install Braemar?
Braemar is not on our current list of supplied brands. Call 1300 101 100 and we will tell you whether we can quote it, or recommend a comparable system from a brand we supply. See all air conditioning brands.
Does evaporative cooling work on the Gold Coast?
It works on dry days, but the coast’s humid summers limit how much it can cool. Refrigerated reverse cycle air conditioning cools and removes humidity. See evaporative cooling.
Can I replace evaporative cooling with ducted air conditioning?
Yes, usually. It normally needs new ducts sized for refrigerated air and a new outdoor unit. We inspect the roof space and quote. See ductwork replacement and repairs.
What warranty comes with Braemar?
Braemar sets its own manufacturer warranty, which varies by product. Any system we install also carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee once paid in full. See our warranty.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Frost Solutions! I recently had a ducted air-conditioning system installed and honestly, from the very first conversation through to the finished installation, the whole process was seamless. ... The installation itself was done to a really high standard, the team worked efficiently and left everything clean and tidy. ... Great people, great communication, great workmanship and a great result.

Couldn't recommend Frost Solutions highly enough. We recently had them install a 16kW Daikin ducted system with 8 outlets, 6 independent zones, AirTouch 5, multiple upgrades and a 5 year service plan. ... Another big positive is that Frost Solutions have their own electrical team as part of the installation. ... the entire experience was seamless.

Frost Solutions installed ducted air conditioning in my home today and I couldn't be happier. The team were professional, friendly, punctual, and down to earth. ... left the house spotless ... I also really appreciated the follow-up call from the office later in the day to check I was completely satisfied ... They're a local business with local staff, and the value was extremely competitive for the quality of service and workmanship provided.

Thanks guys For installing my Panasonic 18 kilowatt Ducted air conditioning today. The guys turned up on time and were very polite. They worked hard all day, did a great job and left the house neat and tidy. Also they were $2000 cheaper than the others. :)

A massive thanks to Frost Solutions. We got a 16kw ducted system put in with 7 zones and 9 outlets. Tyrone and the team were super friendly and very professional doing an awesome job, even helping me to keep maximum space in our roof so I could do an attic room. They also decommissioned and removed 2 of our old split systems. Could not recommend them more highly.
