About repairs and regas
An aircon that needs regassing has a leak; refrigerant does not get used up. A legitimate repairer finds and fixes the leak before recharging, because topping up a leaking system is both wasted money and an emissions offence under refrigerant handling laws. Common genuine repairs include failed capacitors, fan motors and control boards, many of which are same-day fixes.
Getting quotes in Douglas-Apsley
When you enquire about repairs and regas, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for repairs and regas is flexible, include that in the Douglas-Apsley request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
What size air conditioner do I need?+
As a rough guide, allow about 120 to 150 watts of cooling per square metre: a 20 square metre bedroom suits roughly 2.5kW, an open-plan living area often needs 7kW or more. Ceiling height, insulation, window area and orientation all shift the calculation. A good installer sizes from the room, not from what is on special.
Do aircon installers need a licence?+
Yes. Anyone handling refrigerant needs an ARC (Australian Refrigeration Council) licence, and the electrical connection must be done by a licensed electrician. Unlicensed installs void manufacturer warranties and can be unsafe. Ask for the ARC number; legitimate installers print it on their paperwork.
How often should aircon be serviced?+
Clean the filters yourself every couple of months in heavy use, and book a professional service roughly once a year, ideally in spring before installers hit peak season. Rentals and offices with all-day run time justify six-monthly servicing. Neglected units cost more to run every single hour.
