The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Unfortunately the cooler weather is nearly here so it might be time to get your heat pump cleaned to make sure that it is working at its best. If it hasn't been cleaned in the past year why not give me a call, or send me a message, and I'll arrange a time to come round and clean both the inside and outside units. Often the outside units are forgotten as we don't see them regularly - check out the photos on my page - I even found a birds nest in a unit recently! Standard cost is only $70, discounts apply for multiple units or superannuitants. Call me on 370 9107 or 027 301 5739.
