Common questions in 5015
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.
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.
Why is my air conditioner not cooling?+
The common culprits, in order: filthy filters, a clogged outdoor coil, a failed capacitor, or low refrigerant from a leak. Icing on the pipes or the indoor coil is a classic low-gas or airflow symptom, so switch it off and book a technician rather than running it iced. Anything involving refrigerant is legally a licensed technician's job.
