Why installation quality matters more than brand
The most common causes of premature air conditioner failure aren’t manufacturing faults — they’re installation faults: under-flared joints that leak gas, kinked pipework, poor drainage, incorrect refrigerant charge and sloppy electrical connections. A licensed, experienced installer prevents all of them. It’s the difference between a system that runs 15+ years and one that’s leaking within two.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if an installer is licensed?
Ask for their ARC licence number and check it on the Australian Refrigeration Council’s public register. Any legitimate installer will provide it without hesitation — we do.
Do I need an electrician as well as an installer?
Not with us — our installation teams include licensed electrical capability, so circuits and connections are handled within the one visit and the one fixed quote.
How long does installation take?
A standard split system: 3–5 hours. Multi-head systems: usually a day. Ducted systems: 1–2 days depending on home size and zoning.
Do installers need strata approval for apartments?
The owner needs the approval — but we help with it, providing unit specifications, installation plans and insurance certificates that strata managers typically request.
What warranty do installers provide?
Beyond the manufacturer’s 5-year system warranty, reputable installers warranty their workmanship. We back every installation with our own workmanship warranty — ductwork, fittings and labour included.
