Questions answered
Air Conditioning Norwood FAQs
Air conditioning in Norwood raises the same handful of questions every week, so Norwood Air Conditioning has answered the dozen we hear most, from pricing and licensing to picking the right system.
These answers are written for the mix of heritage cottages, Victorian terraces and newer apartments around Norwood. If yours is not covered, call (08) 8246 6298 and ask.

Aircon Pricing and Payment Questions
Cost comes up first on every call, and it should. Here is how quoting works before anyone lifts a tool.
What will the job cost?
Every job runs on Fixed Upfront Pricing, which means a fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rates and no bill shock, so you know the figure first.
Are there any discounts?
New customers get $50 off first service, and a 10% pensioner discount applies. Larger jobs can be spread with interest-free Humm finance, which we set out in the quote.

Licensing and Emergency Availability
Who turns up matters as much as the price. These two answers cover the credentials and the clock.
Are you licensed for refrigerant work?
Yes. Work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, the RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, which covers installation, servicing, decommissioning and refrigerant handling.
Can you come out after hours?
We hold 24/7 emergency availability, and urgent issues get a Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows. A system that dies mid-heatwave is exactly what that covers.

Split System and Ducted Questions for Norwood Homes
The house decides the system here more than anywhere, because solid masonry and tight roof cavities change the maths on half the streets.
Will ducted air conditioning suit a Victorian terrace?
Often not, because solid masonry walls leave little room for ducts, though some larger villas have workable roof space. We inspect first and only quote what will actually fit.
What suits a cottage or apartment instead?
A high-wall split system is the usual answer, needing one wall penetration instead of ducts, and we plan the pipe route around the stone or brick before quoting.
Do you work on apartment systems?
We do, and strata rules, shared walls and outdoor unit placement all get sorted before quoting, because apartment access is rarely straightforward.
How often should a system be cleaned?
Yearly, and before summer is the smart slot. Older cottages pull plenty of dust through busy households, and a clean filter is the cheapest efficiency gain going.
Good to know
Evaporative Cooling and Winter Warmth
Not every home wants refrigerated cooling, and heating is a genuine purchase in this climate, not an afterthought.
Does evaporative cooling work here?
It does, because dry heat is what evaporative needs. Expect open windows while it runs, cheap running costs, and a seasonal service covering pads and the water feed.
What heats the house in winter?
Either ducted gas heating for whole-home warmth through ceiling vents, or reverse-cycle heating from a split system for one or two rooms. Cold Julys make both worth doing properly.
Which brands do you install?
Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir, all refrigerated. We pick the brand after the house has told us what it needs, not before.
Repair or replace an older system?
Age matters more than the fault. A unit past ten years with a dead compressor or board rarely justifies the repair, and we price both options so you can compare.
Good to know
Warranty and Booking
Two last questions, both about what happens after the quote.
What does the warranty cover?
The Lifetime Labour Warranty means that if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost. It is stated plainly on every job.
