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 Wallington
A good aircon technician will quote repairs and regas clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Wallington. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for repairs and regas is flexible, include that in the Wallington 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.
