Whirlybird Installation in Hocking, Perth
Dave works right across Hocking and the wider City of Wanneroo. The suburb sits about 21km north of the Perth CBD — close enough that travel is always included in the quoted price, same as everywhere else in the metro.
With about 8km between Hocking and the ocean, the afternoon change has lost a good deal of its strength by the time it arrives, and it arrives late. Worth knowing before you decide between wind-driven and powered ventilation.
Drive around Hocking and you are mostly looking at 1990s brick and tile, much of it double storey. Two-storey construction became common in the nineties, and it changes where the problem shows up: the ground floor is usually fine while the upstairs bedrooms are unbearable by evening, because they sit directly beneath the roof.
Complex rooflines are the other feature — hips, valleys and separate roof sections that do not share air. A single cavity it is not, so units often need to go on more than one section to cover the whole house.
The usual answer in Hocking is 4 whirlybirds, $1,250 all up. Two-storey homes trap the worst of it upstairs, and the rooflines are rarely one simple plane.

Inland — late afternoon breeze
The Honest Recommendation for Hocking
Being straight about it: wind-driven whirlybirds under-deliver in Hocking compared with what they do on the coast. Not uselessly — but the still window through the middle of a hot day is real, and it is the window that matters most.
Where the budget allows, a solar vent is the better tool here. It runs off the sun rather than the wind, which out this way is the far more dependable of the two, and a single unit at $750 often replaces three or four turbines.
Mixing the two is common and works well: one solar vent as the workhorse, a couple of turbines to keep pulling once the afternoon breeze finally shows up. Dave quotes whichever combination actually suits the roof.

FAQ
Whirlybird Installation Hocking — Common Questions
From $350 for a single unit supplied and installed. Two units are $650, three are $950, and each unit after that adds $300. Travel to Hocking 6065 is included and there is no call-out fee.
Four units is common, and complex rooflines sometimes need units on more than one roof section. The general rule is one 300mm unit per 50–60m² of ceiling area, adjusted for pitch and how much intake venting the eaves provide. Dave works out the exact number from your details before quoting.
The unit, correct flashing for your roof type, cutting and fitting, removal and disposal of any old unit, full clean-up including metal swarf off the roof and out of the gutters, and travel to Hocking. Nothing gets added afterwards.
Yes, and it is the benefit people forget. Warm moist air from inside the house rises into the roof cavity and condenses on cold surfaces overnight — that is where damp insulation and mould on the sarking come from. The same airflow that removes summer heat removes winter moisture.
As high as practical and spread across the roof rather than clustered — usually on the western or south-western slope so they catch the afternoon sea breeze. On a complex roofline with separate sections, units may need to go on more than one face to cover the whole cavity.
Not necessarily, though most people are. Dave will talk through placement before starting, and the job typically takes one to two hours. Access to the roof is all that is strictly needed.
