Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

The most common question before anyone books a job is what it will cost, so here is how our pricing actually works.

Do you charge a fee just to come out?

We give you clear pricing before we start, so you know the cost before any work begins. There is no vague hourly figure and no surprise on the invoice. Call us and we will talk you through the pricing before we book anything in.

How much does a split system install cost?

It depends on the system size, the wall run and whether it is a straightforward back-to-back fit or a longer pipe run, which is why we quote up front. We assess the room and give you clear pricing before we start, with no surprises.

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 sign on the spot. For a ducted job we will assess the home and size the system properly first.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the job, once the work is finished and tested. Your technician will confirm the exact figure with you before we start, in line with our clear pricing before we start.

Common questions

Licensing and ARC Certification

Licensing is the trust question homeowners ask most, so here is exactly what we hold and what it covers.

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 (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 air conditioning installation protects your home and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. We are fully licensed, insured and ARC-certified, and every job is backed by a workmanship guarantee. If something is not right, we come back and sort it properly, no argument.

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

No. A burning smell, water pooling, a tripping breaker or ice on the unit are warning signs, not nuisances. Switch it off at the wall and call us. See our not cooling and leaking water pages for more.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters most when the heat is already on, so here is what to expect when you call.

How fast can you fix my aircon in a heatwave?

We offer same-day and emergency service across Biggera Waters and turn up fast when the coastal heat hits, same-day where availability allows. Calling early in the day gives you the best chance of getting seen. See our air conditioning repairs page.

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, especially through a Broadwater summer heatwave. You will get clear pricing before we start either way.

Do you do emergency air conditioning repairs?

Yes. If your system 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.

Common questions

Our Services, Systems and Brands

Split, ducted, brands, servicing, here is a quick rundown of what we cover.

Split or ducted, which is better?

A split system suits one room or a zone and is quicker and cheaper to install. 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 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 Biggera Waters heat and humidity arrive. Regular servicing keeps it cooling efficiently and matters even more in salt-laden coastal air.

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 the coastal conditions here.

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 page.

Are you licensed for the electrical side of the install?

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

Common questions

Local to Biggera Waters

The Broadwater setting shapes a few things about how we work here, covered below.

Do you actually service Biggera Waters?

Yes, Biggera Waters and the surrounding Broadwater suburbs, including Labrador, Runaway Bay, Coombabah, Arundel and Paradise Point. It is the same licensed local team behind every job across the area.

Does the coastal salt air affect my outdoor unit?

Yes. Salt-laden air off the Broadwater corrodes outdoor condenser coils and casings faster than inland suburbs see. We position and protect units for the coastal climate and check for corrosion when we service your system.

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 homes near the Broadwater.
