Process

How a repairs job runs in St Ives

  1. 01

    Phone triage

    A couple of targeted questions identify the likely fault so we bring the right parts on the first visit.

  2. 02

    On-site diagnosis

    Refrigerant pressure check, electrical test, controller diagnostics, coil and fan inspection. Fixed diagnostic fee.

  3. 03

    Fixed-price quote

    Quote before we proceed. If the repair is uneconomic vs. replacement, we say so upfront with a side-by-side comparison.

    Genuine parts where available, repaired and re-commissioned on the spot, tested under load before we leave.

Frequently asked

Common questions about air conditioning repairs in St Ives

How much does an air conditioning repair cost in St Ives?

Diagnostic + minor fix (capacitor, contactor, drain): $280–$450. Mid-range (PCB board, fan motor): $600–$1,400. Major (compressor, full re-gas + leak repair): $1,800–$3,500. Fixed quote before any work.

How quickly can you do an air conditioning repair in St Ives?

Same-week for most St Ives jobs; same-day or next-day for total breakdowns in heatwaves (we hold emergency capacity through peak summer).

My St Ives air conditioner is out of warranty. Is it worth repairing?

Depends on the fault. A $400 capacitor on an otherwise healthy 8-year-old system is worth it. A $2,500 compressor on a 12-year-old system usually isn't. We'll lay out the maths and let you decide.

Do you repair older air conditioners in St Ives?

Yes. We hold stock for common older Daikin, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu models. R-22 refrigerant systems (pre-2015) we can keep running but can't top up; we'll explain your options.

Can you provide a written report for my landlord or insurance?

Yes. Every repair comes with a written report including fault diagnosis, parts replaced, photos before/after, and recommendations. Suitable for landlord, strata or insurance claims.
