Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions are usually the first thing on a homeowner's mind, so here is exactly how our pricing works.

Do you charge a fee just to come out?

We give you clear, upfront pricing before any work starts, so you know the cost before we begin. There are no surprises on the invoice. Call us and we will give you clear pricing before we start, with your options discussed on site by your technician.

How much does a split system install cost?

It depends on the system size, the wall run and whether it is a straight back-to-back job or a longer pipe run, which is why we quote up front rather than guess over the phone. We size the system to your home and give you clear pricing before we start, with no surprises later.

Do you give clear pricing before we start?

Yes. We give you clear pricing before we start so you know exactly what you are up for. There is no pressure to go ahead. For a ducted job we will assess the home properly first and size the system correctly before quoting.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is arranged once the work is complete and you are happy with the job, based on the clear pricing agreed on site beforehand. We do not offer financing or payment plans, so speak with your technician about payment on the day.

Common questions

Licensing and ARC Certification

This is the trust question most homeowners want answered before they book anyone into their home.

Are you ARC-certified?

Yes. We hold ARC Licence #L160535 for refrigerant handling, so your air conditioning is installed and serviced by certified technicians. We are also Accredited Master Electricians under Lic #83326, so the electrical side of the install meets AS/NZS 3000.

Do I need a licensed installer to put in air conditioning?

Yes. In Queensland, handling refrigerant requires ARC certification and the electrical connection must be done by a licensed electrician, it is not a legal DIY job. A proper install protects your home and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid. See our air conditioning installation service.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. We are fully licensed, insured and ARC-certified, and every job is backed by our workmanship guarantee. If something is not right after we finish, we come back and sort it properly.

Is it safe to keep running an air conditioner that's playing up?

Not always. Burning smells, water pooling, tripping breakers or ice on the unit are warning signs, not nuisances. Switch it off and give us a call rather than keep running it. See our pages on units not cooling or leaking water.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Here is what to expect when your air conditioning fails and you need someone fast.

How fast can you fix my aircon in a heatwave?

We offer same-day and emergency service across Parkwood and turn up fast when the heat hits, often within the hour where availability allows. Call us as early as you can, it is the fastest path to getting your home cool again. See our air conditioning repairs service.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The best way to lock it in is to call, the earlier in the day, the better the odds, especially during a Gold Coast heatwave. You will always get clear pricing before we start.

Do you do emergency air conditioning repairs?

Yes. For a system that has stopped cooling in the heat, is leaking water, or has thrown an error code, call us and we will get someone out. Do not sweat it out longer than you need to. See our error codes page.

Common questions

Our Services, Systems and Brands

Not sure whether you need split or ducted, or which brand to pick? Here is the plain-English rundown.

Split or ducted, which is better?

A split system suits one room or a zone and is quicker and cheaper to install, while ducted air conditioning cools the whole home evenly and hides away in the ceiling. It depends on your home and budget, which is why we assess and size it properly first.

How often should I service my air conditioner?

Once a year is the general guide, ideally before summer, so it is ready when the Gold Coast heat hits. Regular servicing keeps it cooling efficiently, catches small issues early and helps manage humidity. See our air conditioning cleaning service.

Do you install Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu and Actron?

Yes. We install and service Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu and Actron Air, plus other major brands. We will help you pick the right one for your home and budget.

Do you also replace old air conditioners?

Yes. If your old unit is tired, noisy or costing a fortune to run, we will swap it for an efficient modern system and take the old one away. See our air conditioning replacement service.

Are you licensed for the electrical side of the install?

Yes, we are Accredited Master Electricians under Lic #83326. Every install's electrical connection is done to AS/NZS 3000, on top of our ARC certification for the refrigerant side. Both parts of the job are covered by one licensed team.

Common questions

Local to Parkwood

A few questions specific to Parkwood homes and the local climate.

Do you actually service Parkwood?

Yes, Parkwood and the surrounding Gold Coast suburbs including Arundel, Labrador, Ashmore and Southport. We know the local housing stock, from original brick-veneer homes to the newer townhouses near the light rail, and size systems accordingly.

Does Parkwood's humidity affect my air conditioning?

Yes. Parkwood's humid subtropical climate creates real condensation and drainage challenges for air conditioning installs. We set up condensate drainage carefully on every job so units run clean and dry through the humid months rather than dripping or growing mould.

What size air conditioner do I need for an open-plan home?

Sizing matters, too small and it never keeps up in the heat, too big and it short-cycles. We measure the space, glazing and orientation and size it properly, which matters for open-plan Gold Coast homes. See our air conditioning installation service.
