Questions
What Air Conditioning Costs in Paralowie
How much does air conditioning cost?
Every job is quoted before we start under Fixed Upfront Pricing, so you know the full figure in writing with no hourly rates and no bill shock at the end.
Do you offer finance for a bigger aircon job?
Yes. Humm interest-free finance is available for larger jobs, which spreads the cost of a ducted system or a full replacement instead of paying it all at once.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes. New customers get $50 off first service, and there is a 10% pensioner discount, so it is worth mentioning both when you book the job in.
Questions
Getting an Aircon Technician Out Fast
How fast can you respond to an aircon breakdown?
We have 24/7 emergency availability, and urgent air conditioning issues get a Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows, so a dead unit on a 40-degree day gets a fast answer.
Can I fix my own air conditioner?
You can safely check the filter, the mode setting and the outdoor isolator switch, but refrigerant, capacitors and compressors are licensed work and best left to us. See our air conditioner not turning on page for the safe checks first.
Questions
Licensing and Safe Refrigerant Work
Are you licensed to handle refrigerant?
Yes. Work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, a RAC01 Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, which covers installation, servicing and refrigerant handling.
What does the Lifetime Labour Warranty cover?
If a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost, so the quality of the install is on us, not on you.
Questions
Choosing a Cooling or Heating System
Will a ducted system fit my house?
Most of the single-storey brick-veneer homes built here through the eighties and nineties have roof space that takes ductwork, and we confirm access and outlet positions during the onsite assessment. More detail sits on our ducted air conditioning page.
Should I repair or replace an ageing unit?
If a clean, a capacitor or a fan motor fixes it, repair usually wins. A failed compressor on an old unit rarely pays back, and we will say so plainly. Our air conditioning replacement page walks through the signs.
Does evaporative cooling work in Adelaide?
Yes, because dry heat is exactly what evaporative needs and it is cheap to run, but it loses effectiveness on humid days and it does not heat. Read the full picture on evaporative cooling.
How often should an aircon be serviced?
Once a year is the honest answer, and evaporative systems need a pre-summer start-up covering pads, the water feed and bleed-off before the first hot run. Book through air conditioning cleaning.
