Whirlybird Installation in Innaloo, Perth
Dave works right across Innaloo and the wider City of Stirling. The suburb sits about 9km north-west of the Perth CBD — close enough that travel is always included in the quoted price, same as everywhere else in the metro.
At about 3km from the coast, Innaloo gets a reliable Fremantle Doctor through summer — slightly softened by the run inland, but more than enough to keep turbines turning through the hottest part of the day.
Drive around Innaloo and you are mostly looking at post-war brick and tile. Post-war brick-and-tile homes typically run a low-to-medium pitch with a modest eave overhang. Roof cavities are shallow, which means they heat up fast and transfer that heat down to the ceiling quickly.
Insulation in these houses is frequently original, thin, or has settled and gone patchy over decades. Ventilation will not fix poor insulation, but it does stop the cavity above it acting as a heat store all evening — which is usually the complaint that prompts the call.
Near-coastal — reliable sea breeze
Whirlybirds or Solar Vents in Innaloo?
Wind-driven whirlybirds are the sensible starting point in Innaloo. The sea breeze is consistent enough through summer that turbines earn their keep, and at $350 a unit they are the cheapest effective way to get heat out of the roof.
Where Dave suggests going solar in Innaloo is on larger homes — anything over roughly 250m² of ceiling area — where you would otherwise be fitting five or six turbines. At that point one or two solar vents move more air for similar money and keep the roofline cleaner.
Salt is a milder concern this far back from the water than it is right on the coast, but it is not zero. It is still worth specifying a decent unit rather than a bargain one.

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 Innaloo 6018 is included and there is no call-out fee.
Two to three units suits most homes of this size and vintage. 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 Innaloo. 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.
