Who We Are

Australia's mechanical services specialists — trade expertise meets engineering intelligence.

Treadies HVAC & R is a fully licensed and insured Australian mechanical services company operating from Perth, WA and Surry Hills, NSW. We deliver end-to-end solutions across commercial, industrial, healthcare, marine, and government sectors — from design and installation through to long-term maintenance and compliance.

We were built from the ground up by tradespeople who understood that the industry needed companies willing to take genuine ownership — not just show up and invoice. Every job we take on is backed by the full weight of our team's qualifications, our systems, and our commitment to getting it right.

Through our Air Theory consulting brand, we extend into high-performance building design — passive house mechanical systems, HRV/ERV ventilation, dehumidification, and low-energy HVAC strategy for architects, developers, and sustainability-focused clients.

Why Treadies

What makes the difference on every job.

01
Trade Credentials Backed by Engineering
Our team spans trade-qualified technicians, licensed electrical workers, and university-trained mechanical engineers. You get technical precision at every level of delivery — not just at the quote stage.
02
We Self-Deliver. We Don't Just Coordinate.
The majority of our work is performed directly by our permanent team. Less risk, greater consistency, and people who know your site — not strangers at the door every visit.
03
Digital Systems, Real-Time Visibility
04
Whole-of-Life Asset Thinking
We don't just fix what's broken. We assess remaining life, flag inefficiencies, and recommend — honestly — when repair is the right call versus when replacement delivers better long-term value.
05
Safety is Non-Negotiable
SWMS completed on every job. LOTO enforced on every isolation. Our HSEQ systems are documented, current, and actively used — not stored in a drawer for audits.
06
24/7 — Genuinely
After-hours response isn't a marketing line for us. We maintain 24/7 call-out capability across WA and NSW because downtime costs our clients more than the call-out does.
Our People

The team behind the work.

Our structure is flat enough to be responsive and deep enough to be capable. Every client has a clear point of contact, and every job has the right person on it.
