Common problems
Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Old Air Conditioner
Some faults are worth fixing and some are not. Watch for these, and if you are unsure whether the unit can be saved, our air conditioning repairs page explains how we test it honestly:
Constant call-outs
One repair every few years is normal wear. Three visits in two summers points at a compressor or control board failing piece by piece, and each new quote deserves comparison against a full replacement.
Rising running costs
Older units lose efficiency every year, and a system from the 1990s can cost noticeably more per hour to run than a current one. If summer bills keep climbing despite regular cleaning, the unit is telling you something.
Getting louder each summer
A grinding or banging outdoor unit usually means worn bearings or a compressor on the way out. Replacing on your schedule beats waiting for it to seize during a February heatwave.
Past its service life
Refrigerated systems typically give 10 to 15 years before major components start failing. Plenty of homes here are still cooling on hardware installed decades ago, and that hardware is at or beyond the mark.
In detail
What an Air Conditioning Replacement Job Involves
A replacement is more than swapping a box on the wall. Here is what happens from the day you book:
Old unit removal
We recover the refrigerant legally under ARC Licence L162586, then pull the old indoor and outdoor units without wrecking walls or ceilings. The old hardware leaves with us.
New system fit-out
Pipework, cabling, brackets and drainage go in to suit the home's construction. Solid brick needs different fixings and access than brick veneer, and we plan for both before arriving.
Commissioning and handover
We vacuum the pipework, charge and test pressures, then run the system through cooling and heating. Your fixed quote is in writing before any of this begins.
Local knowledge
Cooling and Heating Options for Brick and Veneer Homes
Housing here runs from solid-brick and stone bungalows through post-war brick-veneer cottages to 1970s and 80s walk-up flats, and each takes a different replacement path. The main options:
- Split system air conditioning: the straightforward swap for living areas and bedrooms in the bungalow stock.
- Ducted air conditioning: whole-home comfort through ceiling outlets, with zoning to trim running costs.
- Evaporative cooling: cheap to run in Adelaide's dry heat with windows open, and a common changeover in the older cottages. It cools only and never heats, so winter warmth needs a different system entirely.
- Ducted gas heating: a separate system for households whose priority is warmth through a cold winter, not summer cooling.
On the refrigerated side we install Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir, and each brand page covers where the range suits a home like yours.
Pricing
What Drives Air Conditioning Replacement Cost
Two homes with the same dying unit can land on different figures. These are the levers:
Access and construction
Double-brick and stone walls slow every pipe and cable run compared with veneer. Tight side setbacks on the older subdivisions add time too when the outdoor position is awkward.
System type and capacity
Single splits sit at the low end, ducted at the top, with evaporative in between. Capacity matters as well: an undersized unit never copes, and an oversized one wastes money cycling on and off.
Switchboard and electrical
Some of the pre-1970 homes need a dedicated circuit or switchboard work before a new system connects. We check this on site so the quote covers it from the start.
Removal and disposal
Taking out the old unit, recovering its refrigerant and disposing of it properly is part of every replacement quote we give, not an extra that appears on the final bill.

Air Conditioning Replacement FAQs
How do I know whether to repair or replace my air conditioner?
If the unit is well past 15 years, breaking down repeatedly or costing more to run each summer, replacement usually beats another repair, and we will give you an honest verdict either way.
Can you replace systems in the older brick homes near Castle Plaza?
Yes, the solid-brick and stone bungalows around Castle Plaza take new split or ducted systems well, and we plan each pipe and cable run around the construction rather than forcing a template on the home.
How long does a replacement take?
Split changeovers are typically a single day on site, while ducted replacements in the older brick homes run two to three days where roof access and pipework routes are tight.
Does the quote include removing the old unit?
Yes, removal of the old system, legal refrigerant recovery and disposal are all included in the fixed quote, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay on completion.
Do you replace old evaporative systems too?
We do, and in the dry Edwardstown summer an evaporative changeover is often the cheapest cooling to run, though it needs new pads and a water feed check each spring to stay effective.
