    Worth a review!!! Could not recommend these guys more. We were having issues with our evaporative cooling needing a service in the peak of summer with a young baby at home. Being none the wiser we called out someone from Mr Emergency (incredibly silly idea) who didn’t even get on the roof to inspect the unit and quoted us $15k for a full replacement, giving us the hard sell on the spot and trying to say that if we don’t replace we’re essentially poisoning ourselves everytime we use the unit? I’m sorry what?? THANKFULLY we found Darebin who were able to come much quicker than expected, two guys on the roof within minutes of turning up. So thorough, didn’t muck around, quickly diagnosed that we needed a single part replaced and charged us $795 for call out, parts and labour!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFICIENT WORK, you have saved us from being scammed! We will be returning customers for sure.

    We had a great experience with Darebin Trade Services. They were very informative and were competitive with price, but without sacrificing quality of workmanship or customer service. After being without hot water for a week we were so happy they were able to squeeze us in quickly. Thanks guys!

    Had a great experience with Darebin Trade Services. From their arrival I knew we were in good hands. Tom and Pat asked us and explained everything we needed to know and the split system came up a treat. Would highly recommend Darebin Trade services if you want a split system installed professionally.

    I want to give a huge shout-out to Darebin Trade Services (also known as Darebin Hot Water) for their exceptional service. They offered the best price for the hot water unit, including installation and the removal of my old system. The installers were punctual, efficient, and left everything spotless. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail and the quality of their work—it was truly top-notch. It felt like they genuinely cared about doing a great job, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend them!

    The perfect company to deal with. The lovely lady who took my call went out of her way to assist me, ringing back as promised and booking me in at a suitable time. She's a huge asset to the company, I just wish I remembered her name! 🙄The service man was punctual, efficient and honest, a stellar service. I'll be recommending them to all who need the services they offer.

    I've requested a service call about Braemar heater warranty. The service engineer came the next day, 20 minutes of work and voila, everything works, under warranty. Very professional, fast, nice and polite. I suppose, this is how service industry should look like 🙂

    Easy to deal with, good communication. Got the cooler fixed pretty quickly and similarly the service of the heater. Only thing I would have liked, was for the attendant to take off his shoes when inside my home. I have a crawling toddler so very conscious of keeping my floors clean.

    Really excellent service. I use them for all my evaporative cooling servicing and warranty repairs (I'm still under the 7 year warranty). Initially had an appointment for next week, but they called me back and managed to fit me in to a next day service. The serviceman was also really professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
