Air Conditioning Installation Brisbane

Why is it important to hire an experienced air conditioning specialist?

To become a qualified air conditioning installer in Brisbane, electricians can complete a quick weekend certificate. Unfortunately, they often lack the knowledge and experience needed to install a system properly, which can leave you out of pocket. Refrigerant leaks, ill-fitted or torn ducts, or wrong-sized machines are just a few examples of things that can go wrong, and which can cost you a lot of money in the long run.

At Mercury Installations, we’ve installed thousands of air conditioners over the years, of every imaginable type.

What size air conditioner do I need?

Getting the right-sized air conditioner is important, as it ensures that you’re using just the right amount of power to cool your property. You’ll also need to consider insulation, the local climate, where the sun rises, and the design of the building. Calculating the right-sized air conditioner is tricky, and for this reason, it’s best to call the experts.

Air conditioning installation Brisbane prices

The air conditioner installation cost in Brisbane is based on a number of different factors, including:

• The type of system being installed: ducted systems are more expensive than split systems, because they usually cater for larger properties.
• The amount of space being cooled: the more rooms/space you want to cool, the bigger the air conditioner, which increases the price.
• The brand of the air conditioner: premium brands cost more money, but they’re more efficient and durable.
• The energy rating of the air conditioner: you’ll pay more for split systems that have a good energy rating, but you’ll save on electricity bills over the long run.
• The amount of piping and cable needed: some properties (for example two storey homes) will need more refrigeration piping and electrical cable, which will add a little extra to the cost.
• The amount of ducting needed (for ducted air conditioners): again, larger properties will require more ducting, which adds to the cost.
• Whether the switchboard needs to be upgraded: if the electrical switchboard needs to be upgraded, this adds to the price.

Because there’s so many factors involved in air conditioning, the air conditioning installation cost in Brisbane can range anywhere between $750 to $20,000 plus.

What is a reverse cycle air conditioning installation?
