Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

The most common question before anyone calls is what it is going to cost. Here is how we handle pricing.

Do you charge a fee just to come out?

No. 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 talk through clear pricing before we start on your specific job.

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 install or a longer pipe run, which is why we quote up front. Clear pricing before we start means no guesswork and no surprises once work begins. See our air conditioning installation page for what is involved.

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

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the job, once you have confirmed you are happy with the work. Your technician will confirm the exact price with you on site before any work begins, so there are no surprises later.

Common questions

Licensing and ARC Certification

This is the trust group, covering our licence, our ARC certification, and what that actually means for your home.

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 the Wiring Rules (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, plus every job is backed by a workmanship guarantee. If something is not right, we come back and sort it.

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

Not always. Burning smells, water pooling, tripping breakers or ice on the unit are warning signs, not nuisances. Switch it off and call us. See our guides on a system not cooling or leaking water.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

When your aircon fails in the heat, speed matters. Here is what to expect.

How fast can you fix my aircon in a heatwave?

We offer same-day and emergency service across Tweed Heads and turn up fast when the heat hits, same-day where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to get a technician moving on a repair.

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 the odds, especially through a summer heatwave.

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.

Common questions

Our Services, Systems and Brands

Split, ducted, brands and servicing, here is what the job actually involves.

Split or ducted, which is better?

It depends on the home. 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. We assess and size it first before recommending either.

How often should I service my air conditioner?

Once a year is the general guide, ideally before summer, so it is ready when the heat and humidity build. Regular servicing keeps it cooling efficiently, catches small issues early, and helps manage condensation and mould.

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 budget.

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 through our replacement service and take the old one away.

Are you licensed for the electrical side of the install?

Yes, Accredited Master Electricians (Lic #83326). Every install's electrical connection is done to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000), on top of our ARC certification for the refrigerant.

Common questions

Local to Tweed Heads

A few questions specific to the border, the water and the climate down here.

Do you actually service Tweed Heads?

Yes, Tweed Heads and the surrounding Gold Coast suburbs, including Coolangatta just over the border. We work right through the harbourside units and the older streets further back from the water.

Does the coastal salt air affect my outdoor unit?

Yes. Beachfront and estuary-side locations around Point Danger and Jack Evans Boat Harbour expose outdoor condensers to salt-laden air that speeds up corrosion. We position and check units for this when we service them.

How does the humidity in Tweed Heads affect my air conditioning?

The humid subtropical climate here means condensation and mould risk are a real, year-round concern for split systems. Regular filter and coil cleaning keeps a unit managing moisture properly instead of just cooling the air.
