Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace an air conditioner in Australia?
Replacing an air conditioner in Australia typically costs $2,500-$8,000 for split systems (including the new unit) and $8,000-$20,000+ for ducted systems. A like-for-like replacement is usually cheaper than upgrading or changing system types.
When should I replace my air conditioner?
Consider replacing your air conditioner if it's over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, has declining efficiency (higher bills), uses old refrigerants (R22), or can't adequately heat/cool your space anymore.
Can I upgrade to a different type of system?
Yes, you can change system types during replacement. For example, you might replace an old window unit with a split system, or multiple split systems with a ducted system. Different types may require additional work and cost more.
