Your Coastal Air Conditioning Specialists Serving Hervey Bay Since 1987
Living on the Fraser Coast means your air conditioning faces conditions that most systems aren't designed to handle, like salt spray that corrodes your outdoor unit faster than anywhere inland, and humidity that puts a constant strain on your unit's cooling performance.
And when your system fails during a 40°C heatwave? You can't wait days for someone to show up and help.
But you’re in luck - TSR specialises in air conditioning that's built for Hervey Bay's demanding coastal environment. Our licensed refrigeration mechanics have spent over 35 years installing marine-grade systems, preventing salt air damage, and keeping Fraser Coast homes and businesses comfortable through Queensland's toughest summers.
We’re available 24/7 for genuine emergencies across Scarness, Torquay, Urangan, Pialba, and Point Vernon, and we're the air conditioning team that Hervey Bay has relied on for decades - not because we're the newest, but because we actually understand what coastal systems need.

Understanding Hervey Bay's Air Conditioning Challenges
Fraser Coast properties deal with air conditioning issues that don't exist 50 kilometres inland. Here's what we see regularly in Hervey Bay:
Accelerated Corrosion From Salt Air
Standard outdoor units installed in Scarness or Point Vernon can show significant corrosion within 3-5 years. We've pulled apart units that look fine from the outside but have corroded coils and failing components underneath. If your property is within 5km of the ocean, then you’ll need marine-grade coil coatings and corrosion-resistant cabinets as essential protection for your air con.
Humidity Loads That Standard Systems Struggle With
Hervey Bay's humidity means your air conditioner isn't just cooling air, it's constantly removing moisture. If you’re using a system designed for drier climates then it will be running harder, cycling more frequently, and it will develop drainage issues faster. We can tell you which units have enhanced dehumidification and proper condensation management to handle our coastal Queensland conditions.
More Aggressive Maintenance Requirements
Inland systems might get away with annual servicing, but Hervey Bay air conditioners need attention every 6-8 weeks during peak season to remove salt buildup, check for early corrosion, and maintain peak efficiency. Skip this schedule and you're looking at an early system failure - typically around year 5-7 instead of the 12-15 years a properly maintained coastal system should deliver.
Extended Cooling Season Equals More Wear
You're running air conditioning from September through April, sometimes longer. That's nearly twice the annual runtime compared to southern Queensland properties, which means components wear faster and failures happen more frequently without proper care.

Residential Air Conditioning Across Hervey Bay
Your home deserves air conditioning that lasts more than five summers before needing replacement. Whether you're building in Urangan, renovating in Scarness, or replacing a failing system in Torquay, we design residential installations around three priorities: coastal durability, energy efficiency, and reliable performance during Queensland's demanding summers.
Split systems, ducted cooling, reverse cycle heat pumps - we install them all, but we won't recommend a system just because it's what we have in the van. We’ll take proper sizing calculations, have realistic and honest discussions with you about your budget and running costs, and will always use equipment rated for salt air environments as standard.
Commercial Air Conditioning for Hervey Bay Businesses
We know that Fraser Coast businesses face unique cooling challenges. Retail shops with constant door traffic, restaurants with kitchen heat loads, medical centers that require precise temperature control, cold rooms that can't afford downtime and office fit-outs in older buildings with electrical limitations.
We've handled commercial air conditioning across Hervey Bay for over 35 years, from single-unit installations to multi-zone systems so we know exactly what you need to keep your business operational. Our commercial services include after-hours installation to avoid disrupting your business, maintenance contracts that prevent summer failures, and emergency response when cooling loss means immediate financial impact.
Why Our Hervey Bay Clients Love TSR
Complete Fraser Coast Coverage
Our family-run business has been keeping Hervey Bay comfortable since 1987, from the beachfront homes of Scarness to the family neighborhoods of Urangan, the marina precinct of Pialba to the peaceful streets of Point Vernon. And if you're in a modern Torquay townhouse, a classic Queenslander in Dundowran Beach, or running a business along the Esplanade, we understand how this region's unique coastal conditions will affect your air conditioning.
Hervey Bay isn't just another service area to us - it's where we've spent over 35 years learning exactly how salt air behaves differently between sheltered Urangan and exposed Point Vernon. It’s where we’ve discovered how the sea breeze patterns affect system placement, and which streets flood condensate drainage during our summer storms. Our local knowledge, earned through decades of actual work across these suburbs, makes all of the difference in how long your system lasts and how well it performs.
Our response times are faster too, because we're actually based in the Wide Bay and South-Burnett Regions. So, when your air conditioning fails on a 40°C day in Burrum Heads or your cold room goes down in Pialba, we're not traveling from Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast. We're already here, and ready to help you.
