Not sure whether to repair your aircon or invest in a new system? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
âś… When to Repair Your Air Conditioner
❌ When to Replace Instead of Repair
Sudden Malfunctions – If your AC was working fine but suddenly stopped cooling, it may just need a minor repair like a refrigerant top-up, capacitor replacement, or thermostat recalibration.
Frequent Breakdowns – If your aircon is failing multiple times a year, the repair costs can quickly add up. A new energy-efficient system will save you money in the long run.
Strange Noises or Odors – Odd sounds or smells can indicate clogged filters, motor issues, or worn-out belts—problems that are usually repairable.
Rising Energy Bills – Older units become less efficient over time. If your power bills are climbing despite normal usage, upgrading to a modern aircon can cut your energy costs.
Uneven Cooling – If some rooms feel colder than others, a technician can check for blocked vents, airflow issues, or sensor malfunctions before recommending a costly replacement.
Costly Repairs – If a repair costs more than 50% of a new unit, replacement is often the smarter investment.
Unit is Under 10 Years Old – Well-maintained air conditioners can last 10-15 years, so if your unit is still relatively new, a repair is often the best option.
AC is 10+ Years Old – If your aircon is approaching the end of its lifespan, replacing it now prevents sudden failures during peak summer heat.
Not sure what’s best for your aircon? Our experts can inspect your system and give honest recommendations on whether a repair or replacement is the right choice.
A failing ducted system can lead to uneven cooling, higher running costs, and poor air quality. Upgrading to a modern ducted aircon ensures better temperature control, improved airflow, and quieter operation.
Split system air conditioners are popular in Brisbane homes due to their affordability, energy efficiency, and easy installation. Whether your unit is outdated or no longer cooling effectively, we offer fast Brisbane aircon replacement with the latest eco-friendly, high-performance models.

1. How much does it cost to replace an air conditioner in Brisbane?
The cost of air conditioner replacement in Brisbane varies depending on the type of system, unit size, brand, and installation complexity. Split systems tend to be more affordable, as it's an easier installation with lower labour costs, and is a solution suitable for a single room or small spaces. Ducted AC systems require extensive work for installations, requiring ductwork across the building, while its a more expensive option its also an investment that cools the whole house and elevates the property’s value.
2. Does AC replacement include removing the old system?
Yes, replacing your air conditioner involves removing the old unit, which may add to the overall cost depending on complexity:
Removal Costs:
Basic split system removal: Typically included in the replacement quote, with little to no extra cost
Ducted system removal: Can require additional costs, if ducting needs modification or disposal requires special handling
Asbestos or hazardous materials: If present, extra precautions will increase costs
3. Is replacement cheaper than a new AC installation?
In many cases, yes! If your existing system’s infrastructure (ductwork, electrical wiring, wall brackets) is still in good condition, a replacement is often cheaper than installing a brand-new system from scratch. However, if extensive upgrades or modifications are needed, costs can rise.
4. How long does it take to replace an air conditioning system?
Most split system replacements take 2–4 hours, while ducted system replacements may take a full day depending on complexity.
5. Can I upgrade to a more energy-efficient AC unit?
Yes! Newer models use less energy, offer smart features, and provide better cooling. Our team will help you choose the best upgrade for your home.
6. Do you offer financing options for aircon replacements?
Yes! We offer interest-free payment plans through Humm and Zip, so you can replace your AC now and pay later.
