/ 02 — Frequently asked
Air Conditioning — answered. Questions we hear most.
Do you supply and install air conditioning, or just install supplied units?
Both. We can supply the units — typically Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Panasonic — at competitive prices, sized correctly for the room, with current-model warranty. Or if you've already bought a unit, we'll install it properly. Either way the install is the same standard.
What size air conditioner do I need?
Sizing depends on the room volume, ceiling height, sun exposure, insulation and intended use. We do a site visit, measure the rooms, factor all of that in, and recommend the right kW capacity. An undersized unit will run constantly and burn out; an oversized one will short-cycle and cost more to run. Sizing right matters.
Can you do ducted air conditioning for an existing house?
Yes — we retrofit ducted systems to existing homes regularly. The complexity depends on roof access, ceiling height and existing electrical capacity. We'll do a site visit, give you a fixed quote, and walk through the duct routing and outlet placement before any work starts.
How do you handle the refrigerant gas legally?
Refrigerant handling requires ARC authorisation by Australian law. We hold ARC AU32044, which covers install, decommission and reporting. All gas is pressure-tested, vacuumed, weighed in by manufacturer spec, and recorded on the install paperwork. We never gas a system without proper testing.
Will my new system be covered by warranty?
Yes. We register the manufacturer warranty in your name at install time (typically 5 years on parts, sometimes longer). Our workmanship is also warranted — if anything install-related goes wrong, we come back and fix it. Service and re-gas after warranty expiry are quoted on request.
Do you service and repair existing air conditioners?
Yes — we service split, ducted and multi-head systems regardless of who installed them originally. Service includes filter clean, coil clean, gas-pressure check, drain flush and electrical safety check. Repairs after diagnosis are quoted before we proceed.
