Common problems

Signs Your Cooling System Is Past Repair

A replacement conversation usually starts with one of four signs. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a proper look before the next heatwave:

Constant callouts

Two or three repairs in a couple of seasons means the money is going into a unit on its way out.

Warm air on hot days

When a repair no longer holds through a 40-degree run, the compressor is usually telling you something.

Decades of service

Plenty of cottages here still run systems installed during the 1970s and 1980s upgrades of the original Trust stock, well past typical replacement age.

Creeping power bills

An ageing system works harder for less cooling, and the difference shows up on your quarterly bill.

None of these automatically mean replacement. We check the system properly first, and if a repair will buy you years, we say so.

Checklist

What an Aircon Replacement Job Actually Involves

Swapping a system is more than unbolt the old, bolt in the new. A complete replacement covers:

  • Safe decommissioning of the old unit, with refrigerant recovered lawfully under our full RAC01 licence
  • Disconnection and removal of the old equipment from your property
  • Installation of the new system, whether that is a split system or ducted
  • Electrical connection, startup, testing and a walkthrough of the controls before we leave

You approve the written quote before any of it starts.

Local knowledge

Homes We Replace Systems In, From Cottages to Courtyards

This suburb is Trust housing at its core, and that shapes every replacement job.

The original cottages.

The prefabricated timber-panel homes from the early 1950s have wall cavities and roof lines that limit duct runs, so a high-wall split is often the honest answer there.

The brick replacements.

The brick and brick-veneer homes that followed take ducted air conditioning far more easily, with workable roof space for outlets and runs.

The infill semis.

The eastern side, built out from the 1960s onward, keeps filling with semi-detached and courtyard homes. Those tighter blocks leave less room to site an outdoor unit, so neighbour noise and airflow get planned before the quote rather than argued about after.

Most owners here own their homes, which changes the maths. You are not patching a rental through to the next inspection; you are choosing a system you will live with for fifteen years, and we quote it that way.

Pricing

What Drives the Cost of a Reverse Cycle or Ducted Swap

Every home prices on its own merits, but the same handful of things move the figure:

System type

A straight split swap costs less than a ducted changeover with new outlets.

Roof access

Tight cavities in the older cottages slow duct runs and add labour hours.

Switchboard condition

Older wiring sometimes needs an upgrade before a new system can be connected safely.

Outdoor unit position

Courtyard blocks and close boundaries limit where equipment can legally and quietly go.

Fixed Upfront Pricing applies to all of it: fixed quote before any work starts, no hourly rates, no bill shock.

How it works

Our Replacement Process From Call to Finished Install

  1. 01

    The First Call

    Tell us what the old system is doing and book a time that suits. We ask about your house type up front, because a Trust cottage and a courtyard semi price very differently.

  2. 02

    Onsite Inspection

    We check the existing unit, roof space, wiring and possible outdoor positions. On the older timber-panel homes we measure what duct runs are genuinely possible before promising anything.

  3. 03

    Fixed Quote

    You get the full price in writing before any work starts. If something unexpected turns up, we stop and talk rather than surprise you on the invoice.

  4. 04

    The Swap Over

    Old unit out, refrigerant recovered properly, new system in, tested and walked through with you. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the workmanship: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.

What you get

Heating as Well as Cooling: Picking the New System

Adelaide winters are genuinely cold, so think about both seasons before you commit. A reverse-cycle split or ducted gas heating pairing is worth pricing alongside any cooling option.

The choice comes down to three honest trade-offs:

Reverse cycle

One system handles summer and winter through the same unit, which suits most replacement jobs.

Gas pairing

Many homes here retain mid-century gas service runs worth reusing, and we check the existing lines before recommending it.

Evaporative

It runs cheaply in dry heat but does not heat, so it suits some households and not others.

We fit Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir, and will walk you through the differences with real running costs, not brochure talk.

Good to know

Air Conditioning Replacement FAQs

How do I know my system needs replacing rather than repairing?

If it needs constant callouts, blows warm on hot days or is decades old, replacement usually wins. We inspect first and give an honest verdict either way, with the price fixed upfront.

Will a new system fit an original Housing Trust cottage?

Usually yes. The prefabricated timber-panel walls and iron roof lines on the older cottages can limit duct runs, so we inspect the roof space first and recommend split or ducted accordingly.

Can I keep my gas heating when I replace the cooling?

Often, yes. Many homes here retain mid-century gas service runs, and we check whether the existing lines need recertification before pairing a new reverse-cycle or ducted system with them.

How long does a replacement take?

A straight split swap is typically a single day. Ducted replacements can run longer where tight roof lines or switchboard upgrades in older homes slow the work, and we flag that at quote time.

Do you remove and dispose of the old unit?

Yes. Decommissioning is part of the job: we recover the refrigerant lawfully, disconnect the old system and take it away, then commission and test the new one before we leave.
