Questions locals ask
Your Aircon Questions, Answered Honestly
We would rather answer the awkward questions up front than surprise you on the day. Everything below reflects how we actually work across the northern suburbs.
Pricing
Air Conditioning Pricing and Quotes
How much does a new air conditioner cost?
It depends on the system, the rooms and the roof space, so we measure up onsite first and then give you a fixed quote before any work starts, with no hourly rates and no bill shock.
Do you charge by the hour?
No, we work on Fixed Upfront Pricing, which means the quote is fixed before any work starts so you know the full figure before we pick up a tool.
Are there any discounts available?
Yes, new customers get $50 off first service and there is a 10% pensioner discount, and interest-free finance through Humm is available for larger jobs.
In detail
Who Works on Your Air Conditioning
Are your technicians licensed to handle refrigerant?
Yes, the work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, a full RAC01 refrigeration and air conditioning licence that covers installation, service and refrigerant handling.
Is the workmanship guaranteed?
It is, because our Lifetime Labour Warranty means if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost to you.
In detail
Cooling and Heating Systems We Fit
Should I get a split system or ducted air conditioning?
Most homes here are single-storey brick and brick-veneer builds from the 1970s to the 2000s, which suit either option, so we measure your rooms and roof space before recommending one. See our split system and ducted pages for the detail.
Does evaporative cooling actually work in Adelaide?
Yes, Adelaide's dry summer heat is exactly what evaporative cooling suits, though it needs windows or vents open while it runs and it does not heat.
Can one system heat and cool the house?
Yes, a reverse cycle system heats and cools from the one setup, which suits both a hot Adelaide February and a genuinely cold July.
Get it sorted
Booking and Availability
Do you work after hours or on weekends?
Yes, we have 24/7 emergency availability, so a cooling failure during a heatwave weekend does not have to wait until Monday morning.
How quickly can you respond to an urgent fault?
Our Within-the-Hour Response means urgent air conditioning issues are responded to within the hour where availability allows, and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
Which suburbs do you cover?
We cover Salisbury Plain and the neighbouring suburbs including Salisbury Downs, Salisbury East and Salisbury Park across Greater Adelaide.
In detail
Servicing and Long-Term Care
How often should my air conditioner be serviced?
Refrigerated systems do well with a professional clean every year or two, while an evaporative unit needs its pads and water lines checked before every summer. Our cleaning service covers both.
