Signs Your Aircon Is Due for Replacement

Some faults are worth fixing. Others keep coming back, and each repair buys less time than the last. Watch for these:

Repeated breakdowns

Two or three callouts in a season usually means the money is better spent on a new unit.

Falling cooling performance

A system that runs all day and never quite catches up on a 40-degree afternoon is telling you something.

Rising power bills

Older units lose efficiency long before they die, and the difference shows up every quarter.

Parts no longer available

When a component for a discontinued system costs more than it should, replacement wins.

If you are unsure which side your unit falls on, our air conditioning repairs page covers the faults we fix, and we will always give you an honest recommendation either way.

What an Air Conditioning Replacement Involves

A replacement is a full decommission and reinstall, not a swap of the box on the wall. Here is the shape of a typical job:

Decommissioning the old unit

Refrigerant is recovered legally under ARC Licence L162586, our RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence.

Sizing the new system

We measure the rooms, check insulation and orientation, and match capacity to the house rather than guessing.

Install and commission

New pipework, mounts and connections, then the system is tested and the controls walked through with you.

Responsible disposal

The old unit leaves with us, every scrap of it.

Whether you are moving to a split system, stepping up to ducted air conditioning or swapping out an old evaporative unit, the process is the same and the quote covers all of it.

Replacing Aircon in Broadview's Older Housing Stock

Most homes here went up as inter-war bungalows and post-war cottages in solid brick and double-brick, and that construction shapes every replacement we quote.

Mounting and Cable Routes

Mounting a new unit on double-brick takes the right fixings, and cable routes through older walls need more care than a modern frame allows.

Tight Side Returns

The semi-detached pairs and cottages on streets like Gowland Street and Sturdee Street often have tight side returns, so outdoor unit placement needs thought before the quote is written.

Later infill and townhouses near Galway Avenue and Hampstead Road suit ducted and multi-split layouts differently again, and we check the roof space first.

Plenty of these places are owner-occupied and have been for decades, which is exactly why so many systems here are reaching replacement age at once.

What Drives the Cost of an Air Conditioning Replacement

Every home prices differently, and we would rather tell you why than hide behind a ball-park figure:

System type and capacity

A single split system costs less than a zoned ducted setup; capacity is matched to the house, not upsized.

Access and construction

Double-brick walls, tight side returns and roof space all affect labour time, and that time is in the quote.

Refrigerant and electrical work

Older systems sometimes need switchboard or circuit upgrades to run a modern unit safely.

Running cost, not just purchase price

A higher star rating costs more upfront and less every summer, which matters on Adelaide's dry 40-degree days.

For larger jobs, interest-free finance through Humm is available, and pensioners receive a 10% pensioner discount.

How it works

Our Replacement Process

  1. Step 1: The First Call

    Tell us what is happening with your system. Urgent failures get a Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows, and we are reachable 24/7 for emergencies.

  2. Step 2: Onsite Assessment

    A technician measures the house, checks the old unit and talks through the realistic options. Most replacements are planned, so this visit is unhurried.

  3. Step 3: Fixed Price Quote

    You receive one fixed quote covering the decommission, the new system and the install. The figure does not move once you approve it.

  4. Step 4: Work Completed Cleanly

    We fit, commission and test the new system, walk you through the controls and take the old unit away. Every replacement is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.

Questions

Air Conditioning Replacement FAQs

How do I know my air conditioner is worth replacing rather than repairing?

If the unit is past about ten years, needs recurring repairs or struggles through a heatwave, replacement usually costs less over a few summers than patching it.

Can you replace a system in an older double-brick home around Broadview?

Yes, and we quote for it honestly, because solid brick and double-brick cottages on streets like McInnes Avenue need different fixings and more careful cable routes.

How much does air conditioning replacement cost?

It depends on the system, the access and the construction, so we inspect first and give you one fixed quote before any work starts, with no hourly rates.

Do you take away the old unit when you replace it?

We decommission the old system, handle the refrigerant under our ARC licence and remove every part of it, so you are left with the new unit running and nothing else.

Can I swap an old evaporative cooler for a split or ducted system?

Plenty of households here do, because a split or ducted system cools and heats, while an evaporative unit only cools and needs windows open to work.
