Split System Air Conditioning in Brisbane, QLD
What is included
What Is Included in Our Split System Air Conditioning
- We measure the room, note which way it faces and how much glass it has, then pick a unit size.
- We choose between wall-mounted, floor console and ceiling cassette units, depending on the walls and ceiling you have.
- The indoor unit goes on its bracket and a hole is cut through the wall for the pipes and cable.
- The outdoor unit sits on a slab or bracket, with room around it for air and for later servicing.
- Pipes, cable and drain line are connected, tested for leaks and vacuumed before refrigerant is released.
- On an existing split system, we clean the filters and coils, check the refrigerant and test the fan and sensors.
- A failed board, fan motor or sensor is replaced, or the unit is swapped when it is past repair.
- We run the unit through its modes, show you the remote and the filter, and clear away our offcuts.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Split System Air Conditioning?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every split system air conditioning job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your split system air conditioning is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, not a call centre
An air conditioning and refrigeration technician answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
A split system cools one room well
Tell us about the room
Tell us the approximate size of the room, which way it faces and whether you want cooling only or cooling and heating. If you already have a split system, tell us the make on the indoor unit. A photo of the wall where you would like it mounted saves guesswork.
Quote from the room and wall
We size the unit to the room, not to the biggest one on the shelf. A west-facing room with big windows needs more capacity than a shaded bedroom of the same size. The quote covers the unit, the mounting, the pipe run and the electrical connection, and we tell you what could change the job.
Fitting day and first start-up
A single split system is normally fitted in one visit. The indoor unit is hung, the outdoor unit set, the pipes joined and tested, and the system started. We show you the remote and the filter, and we take our offcuts with us.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems do you work on?
Split systems, ducted air conditioning and commercial air conditioning, plus heating. On the refrigeration side we cover commercial fridges and freezers, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, ice machines and household fridges and freezers. We install, repair and service all the major brands.
Should I choose a split system or ducted air conditioning?
A split system cools one room or one open area, and is the usual choice for a bedroom, a lounge or a small shop. Ducted cooling runs air through ceiling vents to many rooms from one unit, so it suits a whole house when the roof space allows it. What is above your ceiling and how many rooms you want cooled usually decide it.
Should I repair my air conditioner or replace it?
It depends on what has failed and how old the unit is. A fan motor, a drain, a sensor or a small leak is usually worth repairing. A failed compressor on an old system can cost more than the unit is worth, and we will say so when that is the case.
Do you do commercial air conditioning and refrigeration?
Yes. Our commercial clients include retail, hospitality, healthcare, schools and industrial sites. That covers rooftop and ceiling units, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, display fridges and ice machines.
Why is my air conditioner leaking water inside?
The most common cause is a blocked condensate drain. A system pulls moisture out of Brisbane's humid air, and when the drain line clogs with grime the water backs up and spills from the indoor unit. A dirty filter or a cracked drain tray can do the same, so it is worth switching the unit off and having it looked at before the water reaches the ceiling.
Why has my air conditioner iced up?
Ice on the indoor unit or the pipes usually means too little air is moving across the coil, or the refrigerant is low. A clogged filter, a dirty coil or a failing fan restricts the air, and a leak lets the charge drop. Switch it off and let it thaw, and have it checked before running it again.
Why is my fridge or freezer running warm?
Common causes are a worn door seal, a condenser coil clogged with dust, a failed evaporator fan, a defrost fault or a problem in the refrigerant circuit. A cabinet pushed too close to a wall or sitting in a hot kitchen also struggles to hold temperature. If you can tell us how warm it is and what you can hear, we can say which is likely.
What happens to my stock if a freezer fails?
Keep the door shut so the cold stays in, and move what you can to another working fridge or freezer. Whether food is still safe depends on how warm it got and for how long, which we cannot judge from here. Call us so the fault can be found while the stock is still cold.
How often should an air conditioner or fridge be serviced?
Brisbane runs cooling for much of the year, so a system works longer than it would in a milder city. A regular visit to clean filters and coils, clear the drain and check pressures and airflow catches wear before it stops the system. We offer scheduled maintenance for businesses, so the visits come at set intervals.
Which areas do you cover?
Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs. The Service Areas page lists Rochedale, Springwood, Redland Bay, South Brisbane, Sunnybank, Brisbane CBD, Eight Mile Plains, Underwood, Logan, Capalaba, Mount Gravatt and Ipswich. That list is where the work goes most often, not a boundary, so ask if your suburb is not on it.
What should I have ready when I call?
The type of system, the brand if you can see it on the label, and what it is doing. Note when it started, whether it shows an error code, and whether the switch at the board has tripped. For a fridge or freezer, a temperature reading and whether there is stock inside help.
Do you repair ice machines and cool rooms?
Yes. Ice machines, cool rooms and walk-in freezers are part of the commercial refrigeration work. Common faults include a machine that stops making ice, a room that will not hold temperature, a door seal that has failed and a fan or defrost fault.
