What you get
When a New System Beats Another Repair
Most units warn you before they quit for good. Watch for these, because each one shifts the repair-or-replace maths:
Repairs keep stacking up
The quarterly bill keeps climbing
Parts are discontinued
It cannot hold a 40-degree day
It is past the decade mark
Not sure which side your system falls on? Our air conditioning repairs page covers the faults worth fixing, and if repairing is the better deal, that is exactly what we will recommend.
In detail
What Our Aircon Replacement Work Covers
Every job includes sizing, supply, install, decommissioning and handover, quoted as one fixed figure before we start. Here is what that looks like by system:
Split System Changeovers
A dead wall unit comes out and a correctly sized new one goes in, often within a day. It suits the single-storey brick-veneer homes along Jamieson Road, where one unit runs the main living area. See more on split system air conditioning.
Ducted System Renewals
Old ducted systems get a new indoor unit, new duct lines where the old ones have sagged, and zoning that keeps empty bedrooms off at midday. The roof spaces in these family homes make that a clean job. Details on ducted air conditioning.
Evaporative to Reverse Cycle
Plenty of older Craigmore homes still run evaporative coolers. We replace like-for-like, or talk you through reverse cycle if you want heating and cooling from the one system. Both handle Adelaide's dry summers well.
Old Unit Removal
Every replacement includes proper decommissioning. We recover the refrigerant legally, pull the old unit out and take it away, so you are never left with a dead box bolted to the wall.
Local knowledge
Ducted and Split System Swaps for Craigmore Homes
This suburb's housing decides how a changeover runs, so we plan around it before we quote.
Trust-Era Streets
The State Housing Trust pockets off Craigmore Road are pushing fifty years old now. Units installed back then usually need new pipework routed around solid brick walls rather than through them.
Newer Estates
The nineties and 2000s releases near Somerset Grove are an easier job. Their roof spaces were sized for ductwork, so a changeover drops in without surprises and zoning comes together fast.
In every case we measure the floor plan, check the roof and the switchboard, then quote the whole job. You know the figure before anyone lifts a tool.
Pricing
What Drives the Cost of a New System
Every home quotes differently, and these are the levers:
System type
Star rating
Duct condition
Access
Electrical work
What you get
Why Replacing at the Right Time Matters
An old refrigerated system is not just inefficient, it is a liability.
Leaking refrigerant is regulated waste
Running costs never stop climbing
The failure lands on the worst day
Swap it at the right time and you get lower running costs, quiet operation, warm heat through July and cooling that holds through a heatwave.
How it works
How a Replacement Runs, Step by Step
Four steps, and the price is locked at step two:
- 01
Call and Describe
Ring (08) 8246 6297, describe the unit and what it is doing, and we will book a time that suits, including after hours where availability allows.
- 02
Onsite Measure and Quote
One of our techs measures up, inspects the roof space, duct lines and switchboard, then hands over a fixed quote. No hourly rates, no bill shock.
- 03
Swap Day
The old system comes out, refrigerant is recovered, the new one goes in, and the dead unit leaves with us.
- 04
Test and Handover
The new system runs through a full cooling and heating cycle before we hand over the controls and walk you through zoning and settings.
Common problems
Problems That Push People Toward a New Cooling System
Some faults are honest repair jobs. Others are the last chapter.
- A unit blowing warm air on a scorching afternoon might be low refrigerant, or it might be a compressor on its way out, and the difference is the whole decision.
- A system that will not cool even after a service is usually telling you the same story.
- One that needs a reset every hot day is living on borrowed time.
We put gauges on it before advising anything, so the call is based on readings rather than guesswork. If a repair makes sense, we will say so.

Good to know
Air Conditioning Replacement Questions Answered
How do I know my system is worth replacing instead of repairing?
When a system is beyond ten years and the compressor or control board fails, a replacement usually wins on running costs and repair bills, and we will give you that advice straight.
How long does a replacement take?
A split system changeover is generally finished in a day, while a full ducted replacement across a family home takes two to three days depending on roof access and duct condition.
Can you replace units in the older Trust-era homes?
Yes, those homes have solid brick and cramped ceiling cavities, so we work out pipework routes and outdoor unit placement before we quote, not after.
Do you take the old system away?
Every replacement includes full decommissioning, which means the refrigerant is recovered legally and the old indoor and outdoor units are lifted out, taken away and disposed of properly.
Do the newer estates need different systems?
Yes, homes near Somerset Grove and Beckham Rise tend to suit ducted with zoning or a couple of split systems, and their newer roof spaces make the swap quicker than in the older streets.
