One council area, three very different regions
The City of Moreton Bay brings together the old Redcliffe, Pine Rivers and Caboolture areas, and each still has its own housing and climate.
Redcliffe City and the Caboolture and Pine Rivers shires merged in March 2008, and the council was renamed the City of Moreton Bay in July 2023. With about 476,000 residents in 2021 it is the third-largest local government area in Australia by population, and it is still growing, with five new localities declared in 2023 for future development.
More than 80 per cent of homes here are separate houses, which is good news for air con: most homes have their own wall space, roof space and yard for outdoor units, and fewer body corporate hurdles than inner-city apartments. But the right install still depends on where in the region you live, from bayside streets to hills localities such as Dayboro and Samford.
Our base is in Mango Hill, right in the middle of the region, so we cover the coast, the Pine Rivers suburbs and the northern growth corridor every week. Below is a quick guide to how we approach each area, with links to our local pages.
Connex Electrical is a Moreton Bay business, based in Mango Hill since 2014 and led by owner Darren Standring, a qualified electrician since 1997. Also see EV charger installation in Moreton Bay and Electrician Moreton Bay.
Redcliffe Peninsula and the bayside
Salt air is the main concern in Redcliffe, Scarborough, Margate and Woody Point. We recommend corrosion-protected outdoor units, stainless or galvanised fixings and sheltered positions, plus regular servicing.
Pine Rivers and the Petrie corridor
Suburbs such as Petrie, Lawnton and Murrumba Downs mix older homes with newer builds. Older properties often need a switchboard check first, while river-edge blocks need careful outdoor unit placement.
North Lakes to Caboolture
The growth corridor from North Lakes through Narangba, Morayfield and Caboolture has master-planned estates, low-set brick homes and acreage. Expect upstairs bedroom installs, ducted options and long runs to sheds.

Moreton Bay air conditioning installation FAQs
Do you cover the whole City of Moreton Bay?
We cover the main residential areas from the Redcliffe Peninsula through Pine Rivers to Caboolture, and our base is in Mango Hill in the middle of the region. For hills and acreage localities, call us and we will confirm availability.
Does air con cost more on the Redcliffe Peninsula than in Caboolture?
Our starting prices are the same across the region. The difference is in recommendations: bayside homes often benefit from a corrosion-protected outdoor unit, and acreage properties may need longer cable runs. Anything non-standard is quoted after a free assessment.
Do I need council approval to install a split system in Moreton Bay?
A standard split system on a house does not usually need a council application. If you live in a unit or townhouse, you will normally need body corporate approval for the outdoor unit position. If in doubt, check with your body corporate before booking.
Should I choose split or ducted for a Moreton Bay family home?
Splits suit cooling a few key rooms affordably, while ducted suits cooling most of the house with zones. Many detached homes here have the roof space for ducted. We can price both at a free assessment.
Can I run my air con from rooftop solar?
Solar panels reduce what you pay for power while the sun is up, so running an inverter split in the afternoon makes good use of it. The air con still connects to your normal switchboard on its own protected circuit.
Are you licensed to handle refrigerant?
Yes. We hold ARC refrigeration licence #AU42842 and are ARCtick accredited, as well as QLD Electrical Contractor Licence #92217. That covers both the refrigerant and electrical side of the install.
What size air conditioner do I need?
It depends on room size, ceiling height, insulation and sun exposure. A small bedroom often suits 2.5 kW and a large open living area may need 7 kW or more. See our sizing guide, or we can size it for you on site.
