Air Conditioning Replacement Plympton
Air conditioning replacement Plympton homeowners can plan around: we swap old split, ducted and evaporative systems for efficient new ones, with the price fixed before we start.
We're a local, family-owned crew working Greater Adelaide, and Plympton sits on our regular run. Every replacement starts with an honest assessment, because sometimes a repair still has years left in it.
When a New Aircon System Beats Another Repair
There's a point where patching an old unit stops making sense. We test the system properly and give you both numbers, the repair cost and the replacement cost, then let you decide.
The usual markers are simple. The unit is past ten years old, parts are getting hard to source, or the summer power bill keeps climbing even though the cooling feels weaker.
- Repairs adding up to a fair slice of a new unit
- R410A-era systems that guzzle power against current star ratings
- A compressor or major component failure on an ageing unit
- Ductwork that's collapsing in the ceiling of a pre-1940 cottage
Air Conditioning Replacement, Done Properly
A replacement is two jobs in one: the old system comes out safely and the new one goes in to suit the house. We quote the whole thing, removal included, before anyone lifts a tool.
That matters here, where much of the housing stock is solid brick or double-brick from the interwar and post-war decades. Pipework concealed in brick takes planning, not improvising on the day.
Old system removal
Decommissioning sits under ARC Licence L162586, the full RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence. Recovered refrigerant is handled correctly and the old unit leaves with us.
New system install
We match the unit to the rooms, the access and the switchboard, then install to the same standard as a fresh installation. The site gets swept before we hand it back.
Split System or Ducted for Your Replacement
The right system depends on the house, and the suburb has three distinct housing generations in its street fabric. A 1920s cottage near the Church of the Good Shepherd and a 1960s unit block are different conversations.
Split systems
Ducted air conditioning
Reverse cycle changeovers
Many post-war homes here still carry gas connections from earlier hot water and cooking installations. We check those older fittings carefully on any changeover job.

How it works
Our Replacement Process, Start to Finish
Four steps, and the price is locked in before the first tool comes out of the van:
-
Step 1: The call
Describe the old system and what's wrong with it, and we'll book an assessment that suits you.
-
Step 2: Onsite assessment
We measure, check access and the switchboard, and test whether any repair value is left in the unit.
-
Step 3: Fixed price quote
One written figure covering removal, the new system and everything in between. If finance suits you better, we'll walk you through it.
-
Step 4: Work completed cleanly
Old unit out, new system in, tested in front of you, site swept.
Cooling and Heating Efficiency After Replacement
An old unit versus a current efficient one is a real difference on the bill through summer.
- Modern reverse cycle units carry far better star ratings than anything from a decade ago.
- Adelaide's dry heat makes evaporative cooling worth considering on the right house, though it never heats.
- If you want one system doing both seasons, reverse cycle is the answer, and ducted gas heating remains an option where a gas connection already exists.
We'll talk through running costs for your actual rooms, not a brochure average.

Questions
Aircon Replacement Questions, Answered
How do I know my air conditioner needs replacing instead of another repair?
If the system is past ten years old, the repair is costly and the power bills keep climbing, replacement usually wins, and we'll show you the numbers for both paths before you decide.
How long does an air conditioning replacement take?
A split system swap is usually done in a day, while a ducted replacement in one of the older double-brick homes can take two to three days once duct routes are planned.
What happens to my old unit after the replacement?
We decommission and remove it, and the refrigerant is recovered and handled under our full refrigeration and air conditioning licence, so nothing is left on your property.
Can you replace an old gas ducted heater with reverse cycle air conditioning?
Yes, and many post-war homes here still carry gas fittings from earlier installations, so we check those joints and valves carefully before any changeover work begins.
Is finance available for a replacement system?
It is, with interest-free Humm finance available for larger jobs, and the full fixed quote lands in writing before anyone touches a tool.
