Local knowledge
Aircon Services for Homes Old and New
Four services cover the full life of a system, from a first install in a newer infill build to keeping a 1970s cottage running through another summer:
New Installs
Split systems and ducted units fitted to the house, not to a catalogue. The brick-veneer cottages around Hamblynn Road take wall units cleanly, and the generous original blocks give real placement choice.
Repairs
Faults diagnosed honestly before anything is sold. Urgent issues get Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows, and 24/7 emergency availability covers the heatwave runs.
Replacement
Old units taken out, refrigerant recovered legally, and the new system sized to the rooms. Second and third-generation systems around Peacock Road are the usual candidates.
Cleaning
Filters, coils and drains cleaned so the unit runs like it should. A pre-summer clean suits the dry, dusty northern summers and keeps the power draw down.
Common problems
Common Aircon Faults in the Older Cottages
Age shows up the same ways across this Housing Trust stock. Worn fan bearings, corroded drain pans and coils never professionally cleaned do most of the damage:
Weak Airflow
A choked filter or dirty coil starves the coil of warm air and the output drops, and most of the time a proper cleaning fixes it. Full detail on air conditioner not cooling.
Water Drips
Drain pans fitted decades ago in the older cottages corrode through, and the water has nowhere to go but the wall. Our leaking water page explains the repair.
Start-Up Noise
Worn fan bearings and hardening compressor mounts make the noise, and both worsen every run. Details on the making noise page.
Musty Smell
Dust and mould settle on coils over winter, then the first hot run pushes the smell through the house. A professional clean clears it; see air conditioner smell.
How it works
Our Air Conditioning Process
The same four steps on every job, a new ducted install or a Sunday-night breakdown alike. You know the full price before work begins:
- 01
The Call
Ring (08) 8246 6281 and tell us the system, the street and the fault. Urgent calls are answered around the clock.
- 02
Onsite Check
A technician inspects the unit, the roof or wall space and the switchboard. Older cottages get a wiring and capacity check before any quote.
- 03
Written Price
You get the figure on paper before work starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock.
- 04
Work and Test
We do the job, clean up and test the system with you there. The workmanship is covered all the way through.

Credentials
Safety, Licensing and Compliance
Refrigerated air conditioning is licensed trade work, and the licence is not decoration. It keeps refrigerant out of the atmosphere and your family safe:
ARC Licence
Work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, a RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence. That is the strongest ARC classification.
Refrigerant Handling
Refrigerant is recovered and handled legally on every decommission and recharge. Unlicensed refrigerant work is against the law.
Fully Insured
Every job is covered by full insurance. If something goes wrong on your property, you are protected.
Labour Warranty
The Lifetime Labour Warranty means if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.
Running costs
Cooling Costs and Efficiency
Adelaide heat comes in runs of consecutive days over 40, and an old unit struggling through that draws far more power than a correctly sized modern one:
Heatwave Load
A unit sized to the house cycles properly instead of running flat out for days. That is the biggest running-cost factor through summer.
Right Sizing
An undersized unit never stops, while an oversized one thumps on and off. We size to the rooms, not to a sales target.
Yearly Cleaning
A choked filter and dirty coil push the power draw up before anything else fails. A yearly clean is the cheapest efficiency work there is.
Evaporative Costs
Evaporative units cool on a fan and a water pump, which draw a fraction of a compressor's power in dry heat. The daily cooling cost stays low.

Good to know
Questions We Get About Aircon
Can a 1960s Housing Trust house take a modern split system?
Yes, because the single-storey brick-veneer cottages have solid walls for the indoor unit and side yards for the outdoor unit, though we check the switchboard and any older wiring before quoting.
How often should aircon filters and coils be cleaned?
Once a year suits most homes, and a pre-summer clean is best here because the dry, dusty summers choke filters fast, and a dirty coil is what pushes the power bill up first.
Do you repair evaporative cooling units?
We do, including pads, water feeds and bleed-off checks, which evaporative units need each season on top of the usual electrical checks, and Adelaide's dry heat is exactly what they are built for.
Is it worth repairing an old unit or should we replace it?
We diagnose honestly before recommending either, because a unit in fair condition usually runs for years after a repair, while one well past its design life costs more in call-outs and power than a replacement saves.
