Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I should repair or replace?
If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, or your system is 10+ years old, replacement is usually the better investment. We provide honest recommendations.
Do you remove and dispose of my old unit?
Yes! We handle complete removal and disposal of your old system. We degas and dispose of it legally under our ARCtick licence. Venting refrigerant is illegal and we never do it. Removal is included in your installation quote.
Can I upgrade to a larger or smaller system?
Absolutely. We reassess your needs and recommend the right size for your current situation. Many homes are over or under-sized.
Will the new system fit in the same location?
In most cases, yes. Modern systems are often smaller than older models. We confirm fitment during the assessment.
