Question 1

Do you provide residential and commercial air conditioning services?

Yes! We have a long history of providing professional and reliable air conditioning services, from installing small home split system aircon units to maintaining large ducted A/C systems in commercial office spaces.

Question 2

What air conditioning brands do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Our A/C technicians work with a range of leading air conditioning brands including Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and more!

Question 3

How do I choose the right air conditioner for my home?

Accepted Answer

Before you decide on an air conditioner, you need to know how big the system needs to be to effectively cool your whole home. Depending on your budget, you may choose to go for a split system air conditioner, a central air conditioning system or a ducted air conditioning system. If you are unsure about the right type of system for your home, our dedicated team at Davies Refrigeration & Air Conditioning (QLD) can help guide you through the different options. We always consult with you on your property and needs before settling on a system; our expert technicians have a lot of knowledge about air conditioning units and can easily identify which one is best for you.

Question 4

How much does a new air conditioning system cost?

Accepted Answer

This answer really depends on the size of your home and the type of system you are looking for. If you are thinking about purchasing a small split system, you may only have to pay $600-$750, but larger split and ducted systems may cost $2,500 or more.

Question 5

What area does a 5kW air conditioner cover?

Accepted Answer

A 5kW air conditioner will comfortably cover small (up to 20m2) and medium (20m2 - 40m2) sized rooms, including bedrooms, studies, small kitchens and small lounges. Larger bedrooms, kitchens and lounges (40m2 - 60m2), as well as open-plan areas (60m2+), will need greater capacity.

Question 6

How much does it cost to run air conditioning per hour in QLD?

Accepted Answer

This will vary depending on the type of unit you have and what settings you have your air conditioner on, but generally, it will range from $0.25 per hour for a small unit to more than $3.00 per hour for a reverse-cycle unit that's cooling your entire home.

Question 7

Why does my air conditioning system need regular maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Properly maintained systems save money and run more efficiently. It also reduces the chance of a breakdown. Without it, you risk a costly failure and need for additional A/C repairs.

Question 8

Should I repair or replace my broken cooling unit?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how old the system is and what’s wrong with it. Sometimes it’s more cost-effective to upgrade. Get in touch with us to discuss further!

Question 9

Do after-hours services cost more money?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, air conditioning services outside normal hours can cost more than typical services. To compensate for work at unsociable hours and to keep this part of our business running, costs might be higher. Regardless, most emergencies can't wait until the next morning; catching a problem early and fixing it quickly might save you a lot of money in the long term, making nighttime callouts the cheaper option.

Question 10

What is the warranty on your installations?

Accepted Answer

Every unit and device we install automatically has a 12-month warranty – that means we can and will fix any concern that emerges within the first year of the unit’s operation. Whether you require a part replacement or a new unit entirely, our warranty covers it, and we’ll make sure you get the system you pay for. Manufacturers usually provide another four years of warranty cover on top of that, giving all the protection you require against issues that are out of your control.

Question 11

Can I attempt air con repairs myself?

Accepted Answer

We don’t recommend you try to repair your air conditioning unit unless you have the right training and tools; this is often a very sensitive task, and mistakes here can be both expensive and dangerous. Davies' technicians know how to fix most air conditioning problems in barely any time at all – without the risk of accidentally racking up a higher repair bill! For any specialist work beyond tightening a few screws, you should give us a call and we’ll be there as soon as we can.
