Aircon Pricing and Discount Questions
Money is the first thing most households want sorted, so we put the price on paper before anyone lifts a tool.
Do you offer a 10% pensioner discount or a new customer deal?
Yes. New customers get $50 off first service, and we offer a 10% pensioner discount. Both apply to work booked in Modbury Heights and across Greater Adelaide.
How much does a new air conditioning system cost?
Every home differs, so we measure the rooms, check the switchboard and roof space, then hand you a fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock.
Do you charge call-out or hourly rates?
No. Fixed Upfront Pricing means the quote is settled before anyone lifts a tool, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay, whatever the job takes.

Air Conditioning Systems for This Suburb
The housing here is mostly single-storey brick and brick-veneer family homes on generous blocks, which shapes what can physically be installed.
Should I pick a split system or ducted?
Most single-storey brick homes here have the roof space for ducted reverse cycle, while a split system suits one or two rooms. We size it to the house, not the catalogue.
Does evaporative cooling actually work in Adelaide?
It does, because our dry summer heat is what evaporative units are built for. They use water as well as power, and they need windows or vents open to do their job.
Can you look after ducted gas heating too?
Yes. Winters here get genuinely cold, and ducted gas heating is a real purchase in this suburb, not an afterthought. We service, repair and install gas ducted systems across the foothills.
Do you work on systems another company installed?
We do. Our team diagnoses and repairs any brand or vintage regardless of who fitted it, and plenty of units in these 1970s and 1980s homes were put in decades ago.

Heating, Licensing and Emergency Callouts
The last block covers the practical questions: who is allowed to touch refrigerant, what happens at 9pm on a scorching Sunday, and what the work is covered by.
Are you licensed for refrigerant work?
Every refrigerant job is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, the strongest ARC classification. It covers installation, service, decommissioning and refrigerant handling.
Do you handle emergency breakdowns?
Yes, we run 24/7 emergency availability, and urgent air conditioning issues get a Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows. A dead system on a 40-degree day is exactly when that matters.
What warranty covers the work?
The Lifetime Labour Warranty: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost. It sits alongside manufacturer warranties on the equipment itself.
How quickly can you get to my place?
Modbury Heights sits on our regular run, so bookings are usually quick to arrange, and urgent faults get a Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows. Call and we will give you a time.
Is finance available for bigger jobs?
Yes. Humm interest-free finance is available for larger jobs, which spreads the cost of a ducted replacement or a whole-home install. Ask about it when you book the quote.
