Straight Answers on Air Conditioning and Aircon in Modbury
Most people ring with the same handful of questions before they book anything: what it costs, how fast we can come, and whether the work is properly licensed. Modbury households get those answers here, plainly, before anyone quotes a cent.
Questions
Aircon Pricing, Quotes and Payment
Price is the first question on nearly every call, so here is exactly how quoting and payment work before we touch a tool.
What does a new air conditioning system cost?
It depends on the system, the house and the run of ducting or pipework needed, so we inspect first and give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Do you charge hourly rates?
No. We work on Fixed Upfront Pricing, which means a fixed quote before any work starts, no hourly rates and no bill shock.
Are there any discounts available?
Yes. New customers get $50 off first service, and pensioner households receive a 10% pensioner discount on the work we quote.
Can I pay off a bigger job?
Yes, interest-free finance is available through Humm for larger jobs, which spreads the cost of a ducted install or full replacement without added interest.
Questions
Booking, Availability and Emergency Call-Outs
Timing matters more than anything when a system dies mid-heatwave. Here is how call-outs and scheduling actually run on our end.
How quickly can you respond to a breakdown?
Urgent air conditioning issues get a Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows, so ring early on a hot day and we will fit you into the run.
When are you available?
We hold 24/7 emergency availability, because a dead unit on a 40-degree afternoon or a cold winter night cannot wait until Monday morning.
Do you cover suburbs beyond Modbury?
We cover Modbury plus Modbury Heights, Valley View, Hope Valley, Highbury and Tea Tree Gully, so a neighbour a street or two over sits on the same regular run. See our air conditioning in Hope Valley page for one nearby example.
Questions
Air Conditioning Licensing, Warranty and Guarantees
Refrigerant work is a licensed trade, and the paperwork protects you as much as us. These answers cover the credentials and the guarantees behind every job.
Are you licensed for refrigerant work?
Yes, we hold ARC Licence L162586, the RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, covering installation, service, decommissioning and refrigerant handling.
What warranty comes with the work?
Our Lifetime Labour Warranty applies: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost to you.
Questions
Cooling and Heating Systems for Brick and Veneer Houses
Most houses here are single-storey brick or brick-veneer from the 1960s and 1970s build-out, which shapes what fits. These answers cover the common system choices.
Should I choose a split system or ducted?
A split system suits one or two rooms, while ducted air conditioning suits whole-home coverage, and we will give you an honest call on which fits your floor plan.
Does evaporative cooling suit these houses?
It does in our dry summers, running cheaply with windows open, but it will not heat and loses effect on the handful of humid days. See our evaporative cooling page for the full picture.
Which brands do you install and service?
We work across Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir, covering split, ducted and reverse-cycle systems across the north-east.
