Air Conditioning Installation in Brisbane Electrical Work Included
Split systems, multi-head and ducted, supplied, installed, serviced and repaired. The same licensed crew runs the dedicated circuit and checks the switchboard has capacity, so nobody gets sent away and rebooked.
Storm season starts in October. Book the install or the annual service before the first properly humid week and you will not be sitting in a queue.

Chermside
Two heads and a new circuit in one visit. They spotted the board was full during the quote and built the extra way into the price instead of pulling out on the day.

Carindale
Went ducted after they climbed into the roof and showed us why the multi-head we asked about would not work. Zoning is spot on and the return air is quiet.

Wynnum
Our old system kept icing up. Filthy coil and a slow leak. Cleaned, repaired, explained clearly, and it has held all summer without a single follow up call.

Kenmore
Booked in July for a spring install and got the exact date we wanted. Drain was run with proper fall, which the last mob apparently could not be bothered doing.

Built for the Way Brisbane Actually Gets Hot
Humidity Is the Real Problem, Not Just the Temperature
Thirty degrees in Brisbane in February feels nothing like thirty degrees somewhere dry. Moisture in the air is what makes a room feel sticky, and a unit that is too small never runs long enough on low fan to draw it out. It blasts, cycles off, and leaves the room clammy.
Sizing is the part most quotes rush. A west facing living room with raked ceilings and a wall of glass needs meaningfully more capacity than the same floor area in a shaded bedroom. We measure it rather than reading it off the square metres.

No Trade Standoff
The usual mess is an installer saying the switchboard is not their department and a sparky saying the pipework is not theirs. We are licensed for both, so there is nobody left to point at.
Sized for the Room, Not the Catalogue
We measure the space, count the west facing glass and factor in ceiling height before naming a kW capacity. Undersized units run flat out all afternoon and never pull the moisture out.
Placement You Can Live With
Head height, air throw, drain fall and how close the condenser sits to a bedroom window all get settled before a hole goes anywhere near the wall.
Switchboard Capacity Checked First
If the board is full or has no RCD protection, you hear about it at quote stage. Our switchboard upgrade team works under the same roof, so it stays one job rather than two.
Serviced, Not Just Sold
Coils, filters and drains clog quickly in a humid subtropical climate. An annual clean also catches a tired capacitor or a slow refrigerant leak before summer finds it for you.
Warranty Kept Intact
Refrigerant work is done under an ARCtick licence and the install follows the manufacturer's specification, so a claim later is not knocked back over how it went in.

A Brisbane Electrician Who Actually Turns Up
Split, Multi-Head or Ducted
Supply and install, or fit the unit you have already bought.
A single split handles one room and is the cheapest way to make a bedroom liveable again. Multi-head runs several indoor units off one condenser, which suits a townhouse or any home where wall space and roof space are both tight. Ducted gives you whole-home zoning and hides the lot in the ceiling, but the roof cavity, the return air path and the electrical supply all have to stack up first. We walk the house, tell you which of the three genuinely fits, and price the electrical work into the same quote rather than leaving it as a surprise line later.

Install in the cooler months and you pick the date.
Everyone rings in the first week of real heat, which is exactly when lead times blow out and popular models go on backorder. Winter and early spring are the easy months to book, stock is available, and you are not enduring a fortnight of humidity waiting on a slot. Servicing runs the same way. A coil clean and a pressure check in August means the system is ready before storm season instead of failing partway through it.
Other Brisbane Services We Offer
The Parts You Never See Decide How Long It Lasts
Brackets, drain fall, pipe insulation, circuit rating.
Most early failures are not the unit itself. They are a drain run with no fall that eventually backs up into the ceiling, pipe insulation that was never sealed and now sweats, a condenser bolted flat to a wall so it drums through the bedroom, or a circuit sharing a breaker with the kitchen. We take our time on the parts behind the wall, because those are what decide whether you are ringing someone in year three or year twelve.
Call Us: 1300 000 000Measure. Install. Commission.
One quote, one crew, one day for most splits.
Cooling a bedroom should not take three trades and two invoices. We size the system, carry out the refrigeration work and run the electrical circuit, then hand over something that has been tested and set up properly rather than simply switched on.
STEP 1 - MEASURE
Room sized, board checked.
We measure the space, assess glazing and orientation, settle on a capacity, and open the switchboard to confirm there is a spare way and RCD protection available to feed the new circuit.
STEP 2 - INSTALL
Head, condenser, pipework, circuit.
Indoor head mounted level, condenser set on solid brackets, refrigerant lines and drain run with proper fall, and the dedicated circuit wired from the board to an isolator beside the outdoor unit.
STEP 3 - COMMISSION
Charged, tested, explained.
The system is vacuumed and charged under an ARCtick licence, run in both heating and cooling, checked for drain flow and vibration, then the controller and the filter routine are explained before we pack up.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does it cost to install an air conditioner in Brisbane?
- Installation is priced per job, so we quote on site rather than over the phone. Cost is driven by the capacity in kW, whether it is a straightforward back-to-back or a long pipe run through the roof, single or double storey, and whether a new circuit or switchboard work is needed. You get one fixed written figure covering the refrigeration and the electrical work together.
- Do I need a switchboard upgrade to install air conditioning?
- Sometimes, and we check before quoting rather than after. A split system needs its own dedicated circuit and an isolator, so the board must have a spare way with RCD protection available. Older Brisbane boards still running ceramic fuses often have neither. Ducted systems draw more again and can mean looking at the mains. If work is required, our switchboard upgrade team handles it in the same job.
- What size air conditioner do I need for my room?
- Capacity is set by room volume, not floor area alone. As a rough guide a small bedroom suits around 2.5kW, a standard living area 5 to 6kW, and a large open plan space 7kW or more. Brisbane pushes those figures up wherever you have west facing glass, raked ceilings or thin ceiling insulation. We measure before recommending anything.
- How much does it cost to install an air conditioner from Bunnings?
- We cannot speak for a retailer's pricing, but it helps to know what a retail install package usually covers. Standard offers assume a simple back-to-back through an external wall with a dedicated circuit already sitting there. Longer pipe runs, brackets, drainage work, a new circuit or any switchboard work get quoted as extras. Ours includes the lot up front.
- What is the 3-minute rule for air conditioners?
- It means waiting roughly three minutes before restarting a system after it shuts down. The compressor needs that time for refrigerant pressures to equalise, and restarting sooner makes it start against high head pressure. Most modern units build the delay in and will simply ignore you for a few minutes. Repeatedly killing power at the wall is the quickest way to shorten a compressor's life.
- Should I repair my old air conditioner or replace it?
- Age and the nature of the fault decide it. A capacitor, a fan motor or a control board on a unit under about eight years old is usually worth repairing. A failed compressor, a refrigerant leak in the indoor coil, or anything still running phased-out R22 gas normally points to replacement. Newer inverter units also draw far less power, which matters over a Brisbane summer. We give you the honest comparison and let you decide.
- How often should a split system be serviced?
- Once a year suits most Brisbane homes, ideally heading into spring. Filters want a rinse every few weeks over summer and you can do that yourself. A proper service goes further: coil clean, drain flush, refrigerant pressures checked and electrical connections tightened. Humid coastal air and the pollen load through storm season clog coils far faster here than in a dry climate.
- Can you install an air conditioner I have already bought?
- Yes. Supply and install is usually simpler and often better value, but we are happy to fit a unit you have sourced yourself. Two things worth knowing. The manufacturer's warranty depends on the install meeting their specification, which we follow and document, and we cannot warrant equipment we did not supply. Refrigerant work is carried out under an ARCtick licence either way.
