Questions
Aircon Pricing, Quotes and Payment Questions
Money questions come up on every job, so here are the straight answers. We quote before we start, we put the figure in writing, and the offers below apply exactly as listed, with no fine print:
How does Fixed Upfront Pricing work?
You get a fixed quote before any work starts, so there are no hourly rates and no bill shock, and the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Do you offer finance or discounts?
Yes, interest-free finance through Humm is available for larger jobs, new customers can claim $50 off first service, and there is a 10% pensioner discount.
Is there a warranty on the work?
The Lifetime Labour Warranty means that if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost, which is how we stand behind every job.
Questions
Choosing Between Split, Ducted and Evaporative Systems
Older brick cottages, semis and newer infill each suit different systems, and the right answer depends on your rooms, roof space and budget. These are the questions we field most often about cooling and heating:
Which system suits an older brick home?
Solid brick and double-brick cottages hold their temperature once conditioned, so a split system for one or two rooms or a zoned ducted setup both work, and we assess your roof space before recommending either.
Does evaporative cooling actually work here?
Yes, it suits Adelaide's dry heat and is cheap to run, though it needs windows or vents open and loses effectiveness on the handful of humid days each summer. Our evaporative cooling page explains the trade-offs.
Can one system heat and cool?
Reverse cycle split systems and ducted setups heat through Adelaide's genuinely cold winters and cool through dry summers, and ducted gas heating remains an option for homes that prefer it.
Questions
Emergency Callouts, Licensing and Coverage
When a system dies in a heatwave, you want to know who turns up and whether they are qualified. These answers cover our hours, licensing and the suburbs we cover, Broadview included:
Do you handle emergency callouts?
Yes, we run 24/7 emergency availability with a Within-the-Hour Response for urgent air conditioning issues where availability allows, because a dead system during a heatwave cannot wait for Monday.
Are you licensed for refrigerant work?
We hold ARC Licence L162586, the RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, which covers installation, service, decommissioning and refrigerant handling.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Broadview is our home turf and we cover nearby Enfield, Clearview, Prospect, Blair Athol and Kilburn on the same run, so call (08) 8246 6297 and tell us where you are.
What happens during a repair visit?
Our air conditioning repairs team diagnoses the fault, explains the fix and gives you the price in writing before anyone lifts a tool, and most common faults are repaired on the first visit.
How often should a system be cleaned?
Once a year keeps filters, coils and drains working efficiently, and spring is the ideal time, before the first heatwave loads up a dirty filter. Our air conditioning cleaning page covers what a proper service includes.
How do I get a quote?
Call (08) 8246 6297 or use the contact page, tell us the rooms and the system you have in mind, and we will book an onsite assessment with a fixed quote to follow.
