Common problems
Signs Your Aircon Is Past Repair
Some systems fade slowly and some just quit, but the warning signs usually show up first. If these sound familiar, it is worth a conversation before summer arrives.
Repeated summer breakdowns
A unit that needs a call-out every hot season is telling you the end is near. Quoting a replacement before the next failure beats sweating through a 40-degree day waiting on parts.
Power bills creeping up
An ageing compressor loses efficiency year after year, and a system fitted decades ago can cost far more to run than a modern one. Those savings often help fund the new unit.
Parts no longer exist
Many houses in the older pockets run systems nearly as old as the brickwork, and parts support for that era has dried up. When a component fails and nothing matches, the decision makes itself.
Some rooms never cope
If the lounge stays comfortable but the back bedrooms bake every afternoon, an undersized or tired system is often the reason. A correctly sized replacement sorts it once and for all.
In detail
What a Replacement Involves
Replacement is more than swapping a box on the wall. We decommission the old unit, recover the refrigerant to the rules, remove everything we replace, and commission the new system properly before handover.
The new install itself follows the same standard as a fresh air conditioning installation: correct sizing, tidy pipework and cabling, and a full test under load. Your manufacturer warranty gets registered too.
Local knowledge
Ducted, Split and Evaporative Around the Hills
The right system depends on the house, the household and the budget. These are the four options we quote most often around the foothills.
Split systems
A wall split suits smaller households and the newer infill toward Wynn Vale and Surrey Downs, where one well-placed unit handles the main living area without touching the roof. See split system air conditioning.
Ducted systems
Single-storey brick homes on generous blocks usually have the roof space for ducting, so a whole-home retrofit is less invasive than people expect. Ducted air conditioning with zoning cools living areas by day and bedrooms by night.
Evaporative cooling
Dry Adelaide summers are what evaporative units were made for, and the running costs are among the lowest you will find. Just remember the windows stay open a little and it does no heating. More on evaporative cooling.
Heating in winter
Adelaide winters are cold enough that heating deserves equal thought in a replacement decision. Where a household wants one system for both seasons, we point to reverse cycle, and ducted gas heating remains an option on its own.

How it works
Our Air Conditioning Replacement Process
- 01
Get in touch
Call (08) 8246 6282 and tell us what the old system is doing, or not doing. We will ask a few questions about the house and book a time that suits.
- 02
The site check
We measure the home, check the roof space, existing ducting and switchboard, then talk through the options with you on the spot. Nothing gets decided from a brochure.
- 03
Your fixed quote
The quote covers the whole job: unit, ducting, electrical, removal and commissioning. If the old unit is worth saving, we will say so rather than sell you a replacement.
- 04
Tested and tidied
We install, remove all the old equipment, then run the new system hard on commissioning and walk you through the controls. The site gets left clean, and the manufacturer warranty gets registered.
Why locals call us
Why Homeowners Trust Our Replacement Work
Warranty that lasts
Every replacement carries the Lifetime Labour Warranty: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost. That promise sits behind the job for the long haul.
Licensed refrigerant work
All refrigerant handling and decommissioning is done under ARC Licence L162586, the full RAC01 classification. It is the strongest air conditioning authorisation available, and it covers everything a replacement involves.
Ten years local
We have worked Greater Adelaide for a decade, from homes off Golden Grove Road to the shops at Modbury Heights Shopping Centre. Neighbours talk, and our name travels on the back of solid work.
Straight talk
If a repair will buy you another three summers, we will say so and book the air conditioning repairs instead. If replacement is the smarter spend, we will show you why in numbers, not adjectives.
Good to know
Air Conditioning Replacement Questions
How do I know my system needs replacing rather than another repair?
If the unit is over a decade old, breaking down each summer and costing more to run every year, replacement usually beats another repair, and we will give you an honest comparison on site.
How long does a replacement take in these foothill homes?
A split system swap is usually a single day, while ducted replacements in the older brick homes off Golden Grove Road often take two, mostly because of the ducting runs through the roof space.
Can my existing ducting be reused?
If the ducting in your roof is sound and correctly sized we reuse it to lower the quote, and if it is crushed or leaking we replace it and show you exactly why.
What happens to my old unit?
We decommission and remove the old unit as part of the quoted job, and the refrigerant is recovered properly rather than released into the air, so the removal is safe and legal.
Is finance available for a new system?
Interest-free Humm finance is available for larger jobs, so a ducted replacement does not have to land as one lump sum, and we walk you through the options alongside your written quote.
