About Us

After nearly 40 years in business, Ford & Doonan are a trusted brand not only in the air conditioning space, but also in Western Australia. Take a browse of our history below.

Our Vision

Our vision is always to go the extra mile for our customers. Our passion for premium quality air conditioning units, ground-breaking system designs and top notch customer service has enabled Ford & Doonan to grow from just two people to over 125 today.

Proudly Western Australian Owned

Ford & Doonan began back in 1985 when the founders discovered a gap in the market for a company that not only continually worked to create more advanced air conditioning designs but also could offer premium customer service. The company currently has eight branches in Perth and 10 branches across Western Australia, each with multiple specialist divisions and service departments.

A BRIEF HISTORY

We've enjoyed over 10,000 Ford & Doonan days as we continue to keep Western Australia comfortable. Take a browse of our history below
