Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions come up first, 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 the options discussed by your technician on site.

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 install or a longer pipe run, which is why we quote up front rather than guess over the phone. We assess the space and give you clear pricing before we start, with no hidden extras.

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 proceed on the spot. For a ducted job, we assess the home first and size the system properly before quoting.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is arranged once the work is complete and you are happy with the result. Your technician will confirm the total on site before starting, so there is nothing unexpected waiting for you at the end of the job.

Common questions

Licensing and ARC Certification

This is where we cover the credentials behind every job.

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 for more.

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 leave, 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 forming on the unit are warning signs, not nuisances. Switch it off at the wall and call us. We cover the common breakdowns on our not cooling and leaking water issue pages.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters most when the heat hits, so here is how fast we move.

How fast can you fix my aircon in a heatwave?

We offer same-day and emergency service across Burleigh Heads and turn up fast when the heat hits, often within the hour where availability allows. The fastest way to lock in a time is to call us directly rather than wait on a form. See our air conditioning repairs service.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The earlier in the day you call, the better the odds, especially during a summer heatwave when demand is high across the coast. Clear pricing is agreed before any work begins.

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 waiting. See our not cooling and error codes issue pages.

Common questions

Our Services, Systems and Brands

This group covers what the job actually involves and the systems and brands we work with.

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 Burleigh Heads heat hits. Regular servicing keeps it cooling efficiently, catches small issues early and helps with humidity and mould. 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, your budget and the coastal conditions here in Burleigh Heads.

Common questions

Local to Burleigh Heads

Two things come up often from Burleigh Heads locals: coverage and the coastal conditions.

Do you actually service Burleigh Heads?

Yes, Burleigh Heads and the surrounding Gold Coast coast, including Burleigh Waters, Miami and Palm Beach. We know the streets, the housing eras and the coastal conditions from the hill above the beach to the units along the Esplanade.

Does the coastal salt air affect my outdoor unit?

Yes. Salt-laden onshore wind off the Coral Sea corrodes outdoor condensers along the Esplanade and up near the North Burleigh lookout faster than inland Gold Coast homes. We fit coastal-grade coils and check for corrosion at every service.
