Ford & Doonan Proudly Support the 2025 Telethon Home

Each year, the Telethon Home stands as a symbol of generosity, compassion, and community spirit in Western Australia. Built and sold to raise vital funds for Telethon—a cause dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of WA children – the home represents more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a tangible reflection of the many Western Australian businesses, trades, and individuals coming together to make a difference. In 2025, Ford & Doonan Air Conditioning is proud to once again contribute to this incredible initiative by supplying and installing two ducted air conditioning systems for the Telethon Home, located in the scenic Satterley Seaside Estate in Madora Bay.

A 40-Year Legacy of Supporting WA Communities
Ford & Doonan has been keeping Western Australians comfortable in their homes and businesses for over 40 years. Founded right here in Perth, we’ve grown to be WA’s most awarded air conditioning company, specialising in residential and light commercial split system and ducted air conditioning systems in the Perth, Peel and South West regions.
From humble beginnings to now operating 12 stores across Western Australia, our story is firmly rooted in the values of quality, reliability, and giving back. Partnering with Telethon is a natural extension of these values, and our team is honoured to once again lend our support to one of the state’s most cherished charitable causes.
Why We Chose to Be Involved
Our involvement in the Telethon Home goes beyond simply supplying a product—it’s about aligning with a purpose that matters. Supporting local charities, especially those like Telethon that directly benefit children and families across WA, is an essential part of who we are.
The work Telethon does—funding children’s hospitals, medical research, and health services—has a real and lasting impact on countless lives. As a WA owned and operated business, we understand the importance of helping our youngest and most vulnerable citizens thrive. That’s why 2025 marks the fourth consecutive year Ford & Doonan has proudly supplied the air conditioning for the Telethon Home.

Comfort, Efficiency, and Smart Technology
This year’s home, built by Home Group in the picturesque Satterley Seaside Estate in Madora Bay, will feature two Daikin ducted reverse cycle air conditioners, expertly installed by the Ford & Doonan Mandurah team. These systems are designed to provide efficient year-round comfort, offering both heating and cooling through a single solution—a perfect match for Western Australia’s varied climate.

To take comfort and convenience even further, the home is equipped with the AirTouch 5 smart air conditioning controller. This advanced control system allows for:
- Zoned airflow control for greater efficiency
- Customisable scheduling with smart timers
- Control the air conditioner remotely via a mobile app for iOS/Android
- Smart home integration, enabling future compatibility with other smart devices like lighting systems and garage door openers
With these features, the new homeowners will be able to manage their comfort from anywhere, while also enjoying the benefits of a more energy-efficient lifestyle.
A Collaborative Effort
The construction and completion of the 2025 Telethon Home is made possible thanks to the efforts of Home Group and a host of generous local suppliers. Ford & Doonan Air Conditioning is proud to stand alongside this group of dedicated professionals, all working together to deliver a stunning home that will help fund crucial services through the sale proceeds.
We extend our gratitude to the team at Home Group as well as to all the other trades and suppliers contributing their time, materials, and expertise.

Every Dollar Supports a Child in Need
The sale of the Telethon Home isn’t just a real estate transaction—it’s a powerful fundraiser. All proceeds from the sale go directly to Telethon, supporting children’s hospitals, critical medical research, life-saving equipment, and a wide range of health and developmental services for WA kids.
Whether it’s a newborn requiring neonatal care or a teenager battling a chronic condition, Telethon ensures that help is available when it’s needed most. That’s why every dollar raised through the home sale goes a long way—and why we’re so proud to be part of this initiative.
A Word from Our Team
“2025 marks Ford & Doonan’s fourth consecutive year being a supplier for the Telethon Home. Supporting local charities, like Telethon, is an important part of our business, and we’re delighted to once again be the appointed air conditioning contractor for this lovely home.”

Looking Ahead with Purpose
At Ford & Doonan, we see our involvement in the Telethon Home not as a one-off contribution, but as part of a broader and ongoing commitment to Western Australia.
We encourage everyone to get behind Telethon this year—whether it’s by purchasing the home, making a donation, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can help build a brighter future for WA children and families.
