Signs It Is Time for a New Aircon Install
Some systems announce their last summer plainly. Watch for these:
Warm air instead of cold
Repairs every season
Bills that climb each summer
No system at all
Any of those sound familiar? One call sorts the repair-or-replace question honestly.
Split System or Ducted: Matching the System to the House
The house decides the system more than the catalogue does. Three patterns cover most homes here:
Stone and brick cottages
The pre-1940 cottages built from solid brick and stone hide their cable runs inside thick walls, so we plan the route before drilling anything. A well-placed split system usually suits them best.
Brick veneer homes
Post-war brick veneer houses on Trevor Terrace and Garnet Avenue have cavity walls that make cable access simpler. On these low-density streets, an outdoor unit sits well clear of the neighbours.
Larger leafy blocks
Detached houses on big blocks have the roof space for ducted air conditioning, with zoning so you only cool the rooms in use. We install Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir across all of it.
Cooling and Heating in the One Conversation
Adelaide winters are genuinely cold, so a new system should be judged on both seasons. You have three honest paths, and each suits a different house:
Reverse cycle
Keep the gas
Evaporative cooling
The evaporative catch is worth knowing upfront. They cool only, they need windows open while running, and they do not suit every household. We say so before you spend anything.
Installing Aircon in Older Hills Homes
Older housing stock brings quirks that a newer estate never sees. We plan for them on every quote:
Solid walls
Roof space checks
Heatwave sizing
Room to breathe
What Drives Your Installation Price
Two houses on the same street can quote differently, and here is why:
System type and size
The house itself
Duct and cable runs
Switchboard condition
With Fixed Upfront Pricing you get a fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock.
How it works
Our Installation Process, Step by Step
The path from first call to cool lounge room is the same every time:
-
Step 1: Speak to us
Call (08) 8246 6297 and describe the house and what you want cooled or heated. We ask a few questions first so the onsite visit is worth your while.
-
Step 2: Onsite assessment
We measure the rooms, check the roof space and look at the switchboard before recommending anything. Stone cottages and brick veneers get assessed differently, and the quote reflects your actual house.
-
Step 3: Fixed price quote
The quote arrives in writing with the full figure, not an estimate that grows later. If finance helps, Humm offers interest-free options for larger jobs.
-
Step 4: Work completed cleanly
Our techs lay drop sheets, work tidily and take the packaging and any old unit away. Every install carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.
Questions
Air Conditioning Installation FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we hear most around the foothills:
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Every quote depends on the system, the house and the duct or cable run involved, and with Fixed Upfront Pricing you see the full figure in writing before any work starts.
Can older stone cottages take ducted air conditioning?
Often yes, but the thick stone walls and older roof spaces in the cottages near the railway station need careful planning, which is why we always assess the house before quoting.
Will a split system cool a whole brick veneer home?
One unit usually covers the main living area and a second handles the bedrooms, which suits the single-storey brick veneer homes on Trevor Terrace and similar streets better than full ductwork.
How long does a typical installation take?
Most split system installs are finished in a day, while ducted jobs run longer depending on roof access and zoning, and we confirm the timeline with your fixed quote before starting.
Who can handle the refrigerant on a new system?
We hold ARC Licence L162586, the RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, which covers installation, service, decommissioning and refrigerant handling across South Australia.
