Questions
Aircon Pricing and Fixed Quotes
Money questions come first for most people, and they should. Here is how pricing works on every job we quote, from a single split system to a full ducted setup:
How much does a new air conditioning system cost?
Every home is different, so we measure rooms, roof space and your switchboard on site, then give you a fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rates and no bill shock.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. Our Fixed Upfront Pricing means the figure on the quote is the figure you pay, agreed before anyone lifts a tool.
Is there a discount for pensioners?
Yes, we offer a 10% pensioner discount, and new customers get $50 off first service. Interest-free finance through Humm is also available for larger jobs.
Questions
Heating and Cooling Callouts, Day or Night
Breakdowns do not keep business hours, and a 40-degree day here can run for several in a row. This is what you can expect when you call:
Can you respond to a breakdown during a heatwave?
We offer 24/7 emergency availability and a Within-the-Hour Response for urgent issues, where availability allows. Heatwave demand is heavy across Adelaide, so calling early in the day helps.
Do you cover suburbs near Happy Valley as well?
Yes, we work the southern suburbs as our regular run, including Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Woodcroft, Reynella and Morphett Vale.
Questions
Licensed Air Conditioning Work
Refrigerant is not a DIY material, and the law is strict about who handles it. Both of these questions come up on quoting visits:
Are your technicians licensed for refrigerant work?
Yes. The work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, which covers installation, servicing and refrigerant handling.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry full insurance for the air conditioning work we do, and we are a local, family-owned Adelaide business with ten years operating.
Questions
Split System or Ducted: Choosing What Fits
The right system depends on the house, and the houses here are mostly one story of brick veneer on generous blocks. These answers cover the decisions we talk through most:
Will ducted air conditioning suit my home?
Most likely. The suburb is mostly single-storey brick-veneer detached houses on quarter-acre blocks, and those generous roof cavities take ducted with zoning very well.
Should I repair my older unit or replace it?
We test the system first, then show you both sets of numbers side by side. Plenty of homes here still run first-generation units, and an honest repair-versus-replace call beats guesswork.
Questions
Evaporative Cooling, Servicing and Warranty
The last few questions cover running costs, upkeep and what happens if something goes wrong after we leave:
Does evaporative cooling actually work in Adelaide?
Yes, and it is cheap to run in our dry summer heat. It needs windows or vents open, it does not heat, and it loses some punch on the few humid days each year.
How often should my system be serviced?
A refrigerated system benefits from a check before summer, and evaporative units need seasonal attention to pads, water feed and bleed-off. Regular cleaning keeps running costs down.
What warranty covers the workmanship?
Every job carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty. If a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.
