Yokine Whirlybird Installation and Replacement
Yokine 6060 sits about 6km north of the Perth CBD, in the City of Stirling. Dave installs and replaces whirlybirds and solar roof vents throughout the suburb — fixed prices, no subcontractors, travel included.
With about 9km between Yokine 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.
The roof stock in Yokine is mainly 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.
Most homes in Yokine need 3 whirlybirds, which comes to $950 supplied and installed. The shallow cavity on a post-war roof heats right through in an afternoon.

Inland — late afternoon breeze
Why Solar Vents Often Win in Yokine
This is where the advice changes. In Yokine the sea breeze arrives late enough that wind-driven turbines miss the worst of the heat — your roof cavity peaks in the early afternoon, and the Doctor often does not turn up until after that.
A solar vent runs on sunlight instead, so it is at full output precisely when the roof is hottest. One unit at $750 typically moves more air than three turbines at $950, and it does not care whether the wind is blowing.
That said, plenty of Yokine homes do perfectly well on whirlybirds alone — particularly smaller single-storey places with well-vented eaves. A common middle path here is one solar vent doing the heavy lifting plus a couple of turbines contributing whenever the breeze is up. Dave will tell you which of the three makes sense for your roof rather than defaulting to the dearest option.

FAQ
Whirlybird Installation Yokine — 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 Yokine 6060 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 Yokine. 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.
