Find a professional heating and cooling technician near you

Industry experts highly recommend having your heating and cooling systems inspected and treated at least once or twice a year. It is also ideal to have them serviced a month or two before the peak seasons to help you get through the extreme heat or cold. If you want to ensure optimum efficiency, you can also hire them for a monthly or bi-monthly cleaning of the system coils or changing of filters.

Replace heating and cooling systems that were manufactured and installed 10-15 years ago. Due to old age, they perform less efficiently than the new models, which might cause a spike to your electricity bill. We also recommend having them replaced if they still use the old refrigerant known as R-22. Not only are they outdated, but they also release toxic gases that are relatively harmful to the environment.

Definitely! If you want to go green and cut down HVAC consumption, you can hire taskers to install quality insulations to your house. If you have no idea where to start, they can guide you through different types of insulation, and find the best material choice based on your budget and priorities. You can have your insulation installed on roofs, ceilings, interior or exterior walls, underfloors, or any places that are standing between warm and cold air.

While both air conditioning and refrigerations are designed to convert gas to liquid to control temperature, these systems have their own, different purposes. Air conditioners help maintain indoor temperature, either by dispersing heat or cold airs across the room. Refrigerators or fridges, on the other hand, keep the gases to a closed, confined space, and are typically used to preserve foods and products.

Improve your HVAC performance by having your air filters and vents periodically cleaned and replaced. Installing smart thermostats is also an efficient way to control the systems while you're not at home. To maintain your indoor temperature without relying too much on your HVAC systems, you might also want to consider installing curtains and blinds, insulation, or double-glazed glass windows and inhibit the cold or warm air from escaping the room.

Heating and cooling services in Australia can cost anywhere from $70 - $7,000+, depending on the job. For example, the cost of air conditioner repairs can be around $70 - $250, while the cost of aircon installation can range from $1,300 - $7,000. 

Heat pumps, like reverse cycle air conditioners, are the most energy-efficient option for both heating and cooling.  Electric or gas boilers can be cost-effective for heating, especially in colder places in Australia.

Installing a heating or cooling system usually takes between 4-8 hours for a standard split system. More complex systems, like ducted air conditioning, can take 1-2 days depending on the size of the property.
