About evaporative cooling
Evaporative coolers suit dry climates and cost far less to run than refrigerated systems, but they need yearly attention: pads clog with scale, pumps fail and water distribution drifts. A pre-summer service with a pad check avoids the classic first-hot-day breakdown. If your unit dribbles water or smells swampy, it is overdue.
Getting quotes in Sandy Bay
When you enquire about evaporative cooling, 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 evaporative cooling is flexible, include that in the Sandy Bay request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
Is it worth repairing an old air conditioner?+
A cheap part failure on a unit under ten years old is usually worth fixing. Once a compressor fails, or an old R22 refrigerant system leaks, replacement almost always wins because new units are markedly more efficient and R22 is phased out. Ask the technician for both prices and decide with the running-cost difference in view.
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.
