About aircon relocation
Relocating a split system is a legitimate job for a licensed technician: the refrigerant must be recovered, the lines re-run and the system pressure tested and recommissioned in the new position. It usually costs less than a new unit if yours is under ten years old. Renovators should book the decommission and reinstall as one job so the same operator owns the outcome.
Getting quotes in Melville
A good aircon technician will quote aircon relocation clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Melville. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
Melville sits in the Port Stephens area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
How much does split system installation cost?+
Installation of a standard back-to-back split system typically costs $600 to $1,100 on top of the unit price, so a common 2.5kW bedroom setup lands around $1,400 to $2,000 all-in. Long pipe runs, two-storey installs and switchboard work add to that. Get the quote itemised across unit, install and electrical.
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.
