Questions
Pricing, Quotes and Payment on Aircon Jobs
Money questions deserve straight answers, and here they are: a fixed quote before any work starts, discounts where they apply and finance for the bigger jobs. These four pricing questions come up every single week:
How much does a new air conditioning system cost?
We cannot quote honestly over the phone, so we inspect first, then give you a fixed price for a new system before any work starts, with no hourly rates and no bill shock.
Do you offer a discount for new customers?
Yes, new customers get $50 off first service and pensioners receive a 10% pensioner discount, so mention either when you ring and we will apply it to your fixed quote.
Is there a warranty on the workmanship?
Every job carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost, so you never pay twice for our mistake.
Do you offer finance for bigger jobs?
Yes, Humm provides interest-free finance available for larger jobs, which spreads the cost of a full ducted install across manageable payments, so ask about it when we quote and we will walk you through it.
Questions
Availability, Licensing and Emergency Air Conditioning Callouts
Availability and licensing matter more than price when a system dies mid-heatwave, so these answers cover our hours, our response promise and the licence behind every refrigerant job we do, and the insurance behind it:
Are you available after hours?
Yes, we hold 24/7 emergency availability because a dead system on a 40-degree February night cannot wait until Monday, so ring (08) 8246 6290 anytime, day or night, and a person answers.
How fast can you respond to an urgent fault?
Urgent air conditioning issues get our Within-the-Hour Response, where availability allows, and we prioritise a heatwave breakdown over a planned install, so describe the fault when you ring on (08) 8246 6290.
Are your technicians licensed for refrigerant work?
Yes, the work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, the RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence covering installation, service and refrigerant handling, and we are fully insured on every job.
Which suburbs do you cover?
We cover Woodcroft and the southern suburbs, including Morphett Vale, Reynella, Happy Valley and Flagstaff Hill, and each has its own page with local detail, so check yours before you ring.
Questions
Choosing Between Cooling and Heating Systems
Choosing a system is the biggest decision on this page, and the right answer depends on your block, your roof space and how you live through a southern summer. These four questions sort most households:
Split system or ducted, which suits my home?
It depends on the house: most of the suburb's single-storey brick veneer homes suit ducted air conditioning, while the 2000s townhouse infill near Sir James Hardy Way suits a split system, and we advise at the quote.
Does evaporative cooling work in Adelaide?
It does, and evaporative cooling is cheap to run through Adelaide's dry summers, though it needs windows open while running, loses effect on the few humid days and does not heat.
Can one system heat as well as cool?
Yes, reverse cycle systems heat and cool from one unit, and ducted gas heating gives fast whole-home warmth through Adelaide's genuinely cold winters, which we size at the onsite assessment.
How often should a system be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in spring, because most homes here are owner-occupied and systems stay put for decades, so an annual service keeps an older unit efficient and safe before summer.
