AS the cold snap chills us to the bone it’s important to remember that air-conditioning is not just for summer.

Chetwynd Refrigeration and Air-conditioning offers reverse cycle air-conditioning which will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Air-conditioning is more economical to run than any other heating system.

Palmwoods residents of 17 years, Peter and Coralie Chetwynd specialise in maintenance and repair of air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration systems.

They install small to medium sized air-conditioning units, including wall hung split systems and ducted systems which are suitable for use throughout the house.

Peter and Coralie are also available for emergency work in the hinterland area and may be contacted on 5445 0519.

Carpet cleaning

DO you have problems removing the stains from your carpets?

Chetwynds Carpet Cleaning has one of the best records for successful removal of stains from carpets and upholstery. This is due to several factors. Firstly, Chetwynds use the revolutionary Rotary Wand, rather than the standard hand-held wand used by other carpet cleaners. This gives you a cleaner, drier carpet, and removes stains that other carpet cleaners can not achieve.

Secondly, Chetwynds Carpet Cleaning has completed several training courses with the Australian Carpet Cleaning Institute . One of these courses is designed solely to improve stain removal skills.

Thirdly, Chetwynds carry a comprehensive stain removal kit, and follow procedures enabling the removal of the majority of stains from carpets and upholstery.

To not only clean your carpets, but to restore them to the best possible condition, look no further than Chetwynds Carpet Cleaning.

Blinds & awnings

BEVAN Mitchell operates the district’s locally owned and operated blinds, awnings and security business.

He has been a resident for 35 years, and has been operating the business for 15 years along with his wife Desley who helps manufacture the blinds.

Bevan measures, quotes, manufactures and installs the products himself and the customer is assured of a top quality job from start to finish.

"No job is too big or too small," Bevan said. "Over recent years there has been an increase in demand for security doors and window grilles."

Timber venetians are also great to dress up windows. Being an independent business, Bevan is not restricted to any one brand of timber venetians and can supply a large range of colours from several suppliers including oiled, limed or lacquered finishes.

Bevan is licensed under the Queensland Building Service Authority Act 1991. For the right advice phone Bevan for a no obligation measure and quote.

Kitchens & bathrooms

WOOMBYE Cabinetmaking, established behind the Woombye Pub in Bart Street Woombye two years ago by Peter Blair, offers an extensive range of fit-outs for kitchens, bathrooms, offices and wardrobes.

Peter has a wide variety of designs and materials including laminates, melamine and solid timbers.

"We are dealing with so many variations, designs and materials, that it’s difficult to say that we specialise within a specific range," he said.

Solid timber is proving to be a popular choice for cabinet doors. The range includes Tasmanian oak, pine, and New Guinea rosewood.

All hinges and draw runners come with a lifetime warranty.

Peter also provides a cut to size and edging service and does a lot of renovation work as he has found the district has a lot of older homes needing attention.

With 20 years trade experience, Peter designs all cabinets and offers free advice and quotes anywhere in the Sunshine Coast region.

Sheds & garages

WHETHER you are looking for a garden shed or something to house a jumbo jet, Woombye Garages has it all.

Tony will also take care of the carpentry, plumbing, electrical fittings, painting, floor coverings and office furniture.

"All our products are 100 percent BHP Australian. We don’t use any cheap imported steel that can’t stand up to Australian conditions," he said.

Aluminium fabrication

THERE’S much more to Pontoons by Design than the name suggests.

Owner Bill Bartleet said often people were mistaken when they saw the name and thought it was strictly a pontoon business.

"We do general repairs and aluminium fabrication for tinnies, picking ladders and shutes," he said. "In particular, we are focusing on farmers with fruit picking equipment as we specialise in aluminium and steel welding."

He will pick up or deliver if needed. With 16 years trade experience behind him, no job is too big or too small for Bill.

Operating 7.30am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, Bill and co-worker Stephan Lioness can help with any welding needs.
