Air conditioning for North Brisbane & Moreton Bay

Very different. Washing the filters gets the dust off the front. A bag clean hangs a catch bag under the indoor unit so the whole coil and the barrel fan can be chemically cleaned and flushed out — that’s where the mould and the musty smell actually live.

A unit full of grime works harder for less cool air. Cleaning it properly makes it quieter, healthier and cheaper to run.

A standard back-to-back install — indoor head on the wall, outdoor unit straight through the other side — is usually half a day. A couple of heads, a longer pipe run, a two-storey job or a new circuit off the switchboard takes the day.

We give you a start time rather than a window, and we put drop sheets down. When it’s finished we run it up, check the temperatures and show you how the controller works before we leave.

Back-to-back means the outdoor unit sits directly behind the indoor head, on the other side of the same wall. The pipework goes straight through, which is the shortest run and the least labour.

If the outdoor unit has to go around the corner, down the side of the house or up onto a roof, that is extra pipe, extra cable and extra time. It is not hidden — we look at where everything can go before we quote, and the price you get already has your house in it.

It depends on the room size, the ceiling height, the insulation, how much glass there is and which way the room faces. A west-facing lounge with big windows needs more than a bedroom of the same size.

Undersized and it runs flat out and never gets there; oversized and it short-cycles and costs you more. We measure up and tell you what suits, rather than selling you the biggest one.

Two things are covered, by two different people. The unit itself carries the manufacturer’s warranty — Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic and Gree all publish theirs. You register it with the manufacturer, and we leave you the invoice and model details you need to do that.

Our side is the workmanship: brackets, pipework, electrical connection, drains, commissioning. That carries a 5-year workmanship warranty from us. If something we did lets go, we come back and fix it.

Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic and Gree are the ones we put in most. They are the brands with parts on the shelf in Brisbane and technicians who can get them, which matters more than the badge on the front when something goes wrong in five years.

We are not an authorised dealer for any of them and we do not push one over another. Tell us the room and the budget and we will tell you what we would put in our own place.

Yes. Every price we give you is the total including GST — the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

If you need a tax invoice for a rental property or a business, just say so and we’ll make sure it’s made out correctly.

Yes — 10% off for pensioners. Mention it when you get in touch and it comes off the quote before you see it, rather than being something you have to ask about at the end.

Bring your card out on the day and we’ll have a quick look, same as anywhere else that offers it.
