Everything you need to know about air con, electrical work, costs, and how we operate. Can't find your answer? Just call us.

Installation cost depends on the type and size of system, and your home's layout. As a rough guide:

  • Split system (supply & install): from $1,200–$2,500+ depending on the kW rating and brand
  • Multi-head systems: from $3,500+ for a 3-zone setup
  • Ducted systems: from $6,000–$15,000+ depending on home size and zones

Every job is different. Request a free quote — we'll give you a fixed price upfront with no surprises.

We work with all major air conditioning brands including:

  • Mitsubishi Electric — our most popular choice for residential
  • Daikin — excellent for ducted systems
  • Fujitsu — reliable, great value
  • LG — strong multi-head range
  • Samsung, Panasonic, Carrier, Actron Air — and more

We'll recommend the right brand and model for your situation.

Sizing depends on room area, ceiling height, insulation, and sun exposure:

  • Up to 20m² (small bedroom): 2.5kW
  • 20–35m² (main bedroom, study): 3.5kW
  • 35–60m² (open-plan lounge): 6–7kW
  • 60–80m²+ (large living area): 8–9kW+

We always assess the space before recommending a unit — an undersized system will struggle in summer.

We recommend servicing at least once a year, ideally before summer. Regular servicing:

  • Extends the life of your unit
  • Keeps it running at peak efficiency (lower power bills)
  • Catches small issues before they become expensive repairs
  • Keeps the air quality clean

Service visits start from around $150–$250 for a standard split system.

Switchboard upgrade costs vary depending on the size of your home and current board condition:

  • Single-phase upgrade (standard home): $1,500–$2,500
  • Three-phase upgrade: $2,500–$4,000+
  • Adding safety switches/RCDs: from $300

If your switchboard is more than 25 years old or has ceramic fuses, it's worth getting assessed. We offer free quotes.

Yes — fully licensed and insured.

  • Contractor Licence: 982390C (air conditioning & refrigeration)
  • Electrical Contractor Licence: L191263 (A-grade electricians)

We carry full public liability insurance on every job. You can ask to see our licence details at any time.

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency callouts for urgent electrical faults and air con failures.

If you have a safety issue — sparking outlets, tripped boards that won't reset, or your system has died in a heatwave — call us immediately on 0428 631 931.

Emergency call-out rates apply outside normal business hours. We'll always tell you the cost upfront.

The most common reasons an air conditioner stops cooling:

  • Dirty filters — restricts airflow (the most common fix — clean them monthly)
  • Low refrigerant gas — the unit has a slow leak and needs a top-up
  • Dirty condenser coils (outdoor unit) — reduces heat exchange efficiency
  • The unit is undersized for the space
  • Faulty compressor or sensor — requires professional diagnosis

Before calling us, check the filter is clean and the outdoor unit isn't blocked. Most issues are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit.

No — not in NSW. All electrical work beyond very minor tasks must be carried out by a licensed electrician. This is a legal requirement under Australian law.

Unlicensed electrical work is dangerous, can void your home insurance, and may result in significant fines. If you're in doubt, call us — we can often quote over the phone for straightforward jobs.

Always. We provide clear, written quotes before any work begins. The quote includes:

  • Itemised labour and material costs
  • The scope of work — exactly what will and won't be included
  • Any conditions or assumptions

We never start work without your approval. Once you accept a quote, that's the price — no hidden extras.

Yes. All workmanship is covered by our labour warranty — if something we installed or repaired fails due to our workmanship, we'll come back and fix it at no charge.

Equipment and product warranties are provided by the manufacturer — typically 5 years for air conditioning units and 1–2 years for electrical components.
