Aircon Services for Modbury Heights Homes
Whatever the system needs, the job starts with a call and ends with a fixed price:
Installation
New split system or ducted units, quoted after we look at the roof space and the switchboard. Homes wired in the seventies sometimes need a switchboard check first, and we flag that before quoting.
Repairs
Faults big and small on any system, with emergency cover for the jobs that cannot wait. If the unit has stopped cooling altogether, our air conditioner not cooling page explains the likely causes.
Replacement
Honest advice when a second or third unit has reached the end. If the repair quote climbs near the price of a new system, we say so on site rather than selling you the fix.
Cleaning
Filters, coils and evaporative pads, booked before the first hot run of the season. A clogged coil chokes airflow and drives up power use, so the clean pays for itself.
Split, Ducted and Heating Options
The right system depends on the house, the block and the winter bill:
For refrigerated systems we install and service Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir units.
Aircon Faults We Get Called For
Three local patterns turn up in our call log again and again:
Ageing Systems
Plenty of homes here run second or third units fitted decades after the house went up. Old wiring and tired ducts turn a simple fault into a bigger job, so we check both before quoting.
Slope Drainage
The blocks fall from the ranges down toward the plain, so condensate drains have to be set with the fall, not against it. A drain fighting the slope is often why a ceiling unit drips.
Switchboard Trips
A unit that trips the breaker on a 40-degree afternoon is often the switchboard, not the aircon. We trace it on site and quote the fix before touching anything.
How it works
The Aircon Process, Start to Finish
Four steps, the same on every booking:
-
Step 1: The Call
Ring and tell us the house, the system and the rooms that matter. Urgent faults get Within-the-Hour Response where availability allows.
-
Step 2: The Assessment
We measure the roof space, the block and the switchboard, slope included. Nothing gets quoted from a driveway guess.
-
Step 3: The Quote
Fixed Upfront Pricing means the full price is agreed before work starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock, and Humm interest-free finance is available for larger jobs.
-
Step 4: The Finish
The work gets done, tested and tidied, and the old unit goes with us. Every job carries the Lifetime Labour Warranty: if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.
Why Locals Call This Aircon Team
Local and Family
Family-owned, and this hillside pocket is on the regular run. You are not explaining the suburb to someone from the other side of town.
Answered Any Hour
24/7 emergency availability, so a dead unit on a Saturday night still gets a voice on the phone. Heatwaves do not keep office hours.
Fair Discounts
$50 off first service for new customers, and a 10% pensioner discount for eligible households. The discounts are stated plainly, with no fine print.
Work Backed
Fully licensed and insured, with the warranty sitting behind every repair and install. The cover behind the work is real, not a slogan.
Cooling Work Done Safely and Legally
Licensing
Refrigerant work is licensed work. Ours is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence.
Refrigerant Handling
The same licence covers refrigerant handling, so leaks are found and legally repaired rather than topped up and left. That protects your system and the environment.
Insurance
Fully insured on every job, so the cover holds if something goes wrong on a sloping block or an older roof.
Workmanship Guarantee
The Lifetime Labour Warranty sits behind every repair and install. If a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.
Aircon Running Costs Through the Foothill Summer
Heatwave Load
Adelaide summers run hot and dry, with consecutive days over 40 in a heatwave. A unit sized and cleaned for that load cycles normally instead of running flat out.
Zoning
Ducted systems zoned to the rooms you use cost less than cooling the whole house. On a school-day afternoon near The Heights School, zoning the living areas is the cheap way to run.
Star Ratings
A higher star-rated unit costs less per hour of cooling. We quote the running figures alongside the install price so you can compare honestly.
Evaporative Economics
Evaporative cooling uses water as well as power, loses effectiveness on the handful of humid days each summer, and handles no winter duty at all. Our ducted gas heating page covers the cold half of the year.

Questions
Aircon Questions From the Foothills
Can a wall split go into a 1970s brick-veneer home near Ladywood Drive?
Yes, most brick-veneer homes from the 1970s take a modern wall split without major changes, though some need a switchboard check first, which we confirm at the onsite assessment before quoting.
Do you service evaporative units on the foothill slopes?
We do, with a pre-summer check of the pads, water feed and bleed-off each year, because dust and debris settle in over winter and a dirty start to the season costs you cooling.
Does the slope of the block change the install?
It can, because the east-to-west fall affects outdoor unit placement and condensate drainage, so we set the drain falls correctly at the assessment rather than discovering problems after the unit is mounted.
How often should an older system be serviced?
Once a year before the first heatwave for most homes, because filters and coils clog steadily and a clean unit holds its cooling and heating without the extra running cost.
