How To Choose The Right Company In Brisbane For Your Air Conditioning Installation?
When it comes to choosing an air conditioner it isn’t just about the brand and model you choose. Who you choose for your air conditioning installation also plays an important part in the decision making process. There are lots of companies around Brisbane that offer air conditioning installation so how do you know which one is right for you?
Choosing a reliable air conditioner installer can mean the difference between a smooth trouble-free installation and months of headaches and unanswered phone calls. Don’t just look for the cheapest quote, but look for the qualities of a good reputable local Brisbane air conditioning installation business. Ask questions and check reviews online to see what other peoples’ experiences have been. Here are some additional things to look out for:
Informative Sales Process – The air conditioning installation company should be open and transparent about the air conditioners they install and the installation process. They should try to educate you and help you choose the best solution to suit the Brisbane climate and meet your needs, not just sell you the solution that makes them the most money. Don’t sign with anyone saying that you need to sign up that day – a good local Brisbane air conditioning installation company will allow you time to make an informed, unpressured decision.
Professional Documentation – Although this doesn’t necessarily mean that the service or product will be of high quality, it means that the company are serious and organised – a good sign. You should be presented with a professional-looking quote showing all expenses plus any further information about the product and installation. On signing up, you should be sent an invoice and instructions on what will happen next.
Good Communication – There’s nothing more frustrating than calling a company and never being able to get through to them. If this is the case, walk away. If they won’t pick up the phone when you’re trying to give them money, imagine how hard they’ll be to get hold of if you have a future warranty issue.
Professional Service – A reliable air conditioning installation company should turn up on time and if not, call ahead to let you know. They should discuss the details of the job with you and confirm that you’re happy with this. On completion, they’ll show you their work and demonstrate how the product works. The area should be left clean and tidy and all rubbish removed.
Clear Warranty Information – Ask the company about the product and installation warranty. They should be able to provide you with this information.
Types Of Air Conditioning Systems
Ready to buy an air conditioning unit? Whether you just want to cool down or heat a couple of rooms or want the ultimate in climate control throughout your entire home, there is an air conditioning unit to suit your needs.
Ducted Air Conditioning – Ideal for when you want to heat or cool your whole home or office. Ducted air conditioning has a central unit that works to cool or heat your whole home via vents in your ceiling or walls.
Single Split System Air Conditioning – This unit is cost-effective, and will cool individual or limited areas in your home.
Multi-Split System Air Conditioning – This system is ideal for when you want to run multiple air conditioners with just one outside compressor. A multi-split system air conditioner gives you independent temperature control over each room.
Benefits And Costs To Install A Ducted Air Conditioning System In Brisbane
Ducted Air Conditioning installation involves a central fan coil which is hidden in your roof. This is connected to each of your rooms through a network of ducts. This allows you to cool your entire home, and with some systems you can even set different temperatures in different rooms, at the same time. Ducted air conditioning systems can be installed in new home builds or installed/replaced in existing homes.
Benefits:
Whole-home solution – Ducted air conditioning is a whole home or property solution, allowing you to cool your property completely at the touch of a button. Modern Brisbane home builders opt for ducted air conditioning installation due to its convenience and simplicity of operation.
Easy to control – Ducted air conditioning systems are controlled via a simple to operate push-button keypad that is conveniently located in a high traffic area of your property at the time of installation. Simply press a button, and all of your zones are flushed with cool air or press again, and your entire system is turned off as needed
Zones for flexibility – Some systems have a zone feature. Zoning allows for isolation of the ducted air conditioning unit so you can enjoy the cool air in the rooms you are living in and don’t waste the air in rooms that are not being used.
Seamless look – Ducted air conditioning looks good and is a classy and seamless installation in a property. The ducts and air conditioning vents are all built into the internal workings of the property at the time of installation with only the ceiling ducts and control panel on display internally, making the entire system easy on the eye and without unsightly wall units and compressors.
Less noise – Ducted air conditioning is very quiet and allows for a comfortable night sleep without the sounds of a compressor close by. The master compressor system is situated in a position outside the property that is usually away from bedrooms making the system quiet and without the standard humming and noise that emits from traditional split system air conditioning units.
Value for money – For larger Brisbane homes or properties with three bedrooms or more the costs for installing individual split system units just don’t compare to a ducted air conditioning unit. Installing ducted air conditioning not only adds value for re-selling a Brisbane property but the installation and maintenance costs over multiple rooms makes it a cheaper system to install.
Costs:
When you are making a big investment into your home like ducted air conditioning it is reassuring to know that you have the right people, installing the right product for a fair and reasonable price. You should only work with a Brisbane based company that you can trust with your air conditioning supply and installation.

Benefits And Costs To Install A Split System Air Conditioning System In Brisbane
Now one of the most popular types of air conditioning systems used in homes, a split system is ‘split’ into two units: one that’s inside, and one that’s outside. Relatively easy to install (as no ductwork is required), these systems are known for being quiet and energy-efficient.
Benefits:
Easy to maintain – Split system air conditioning systems are easy to maintain, as they have washable filters which can easily be taken out and put back in. The outdoor condenser does need to be kept clean, but it was designed for cleaning to be as easy as possible.
Versatile – There are many options for where you can have a split system air conditioner installed. This is because split systems are powered by an external compressor which is situated outdoors, either on the ground or hung on brackets on an exterior wall. They can even be positioned in a garage or shed, and only require a small hole in your wall during installation for tubing to connect the outdoor unit to the indoor one.
Attractiveness – Traditional air conditioning units tend to be large and cumbersome, and very obvious due to their positioning underneath a window. By contrast, the interior modules of split systems tend to be unobtrusive, as they are usually located high up on a wall, out of people’s line of vision. Their sleek, modern designs suit any Brisbane home and will easily blend in with modern, minimalist decor.
Quiet – While one of the main problems with traditional systems is the amount of noise they create inside the home, split systems are virtually noiseless, as only the air-blowing unit is located indoors. Perfect for hot Brisbane nights when entertaining.
Energy Efficiency – Split systems can provide heating as well as cooling, and are renowned for even use of hot and cold air when controlled properly via the thermostat. With traditional air conditioning systems, hot or cool air can escape due to drafts or open doors. This cannot happen with split systems, making them more efficient and less costly to run.
Costs:
With so many air conditioning installation companies in and around Brisbane it can be exhausting ringing around to find the best quote. At Hewitt Trade Services, we work with the most trusted split system air conditioning systems and benefit from our large buying power with suppliers including:
- Daikin
- Panasonic
- Mitsubishi Electric

Benefits And Costs To Install A Multi-Split System Air Conditioning System In Brisbane
A multi-split system air conditioning system is a split system where there’s more than one indoor unit attached to a single outdoor unit. The benefit of a multi-split system is that you can use it to heat or cool different areas of the house independently – or even maintain an even temperature in one large area by using two units. Such systems operate in either heating or cooling at one time.
Benefits:
Flexibility and convenience – Multi-split system air conditioners offer unsurpassed flexibility and convenience, allowing you to choose the right indoor unit for each room of your Brisbane home. Installation can include a high capacity air conditioner for larger living rooms and smaller, quieter ones for the bedrooms, all powered by the one outside unit. This allows you to control the temperature and environment in your home on a room by room basis.
Energy efficiency – Energy saving settings, combined with the ability to heat or cool individual rooms, helps to reduce power and running costs. Choosing the right indoor air outlet unit to suit each room also ensures that you’re not wasting power. The wrong unit in a room can result in the air not being cooled properly and energy wastage. A unit that’s too big for a smaller room also uses more power every time you turn it on compared to a smaller unit running for a longer period of time.
By operating multiple indoor air conditioners from the one external air compressor, multi split system air conditioners are among the most energy efficient of all air conditioners. Choose the most energy-efficient indoor air outlet units for maximum savings on your power bill.
Quiet – Multi-split air conditioning systems are peaceful and quiet.
Independent control – By enjoying the ability to individually adjust the temperatures in each room, you’ll save money and optimise comfort by heating or cooling individual rooms. You can have up to five separate indoor air outlets, all powered by a single outside compressor and controlled by a wireless remote.
Costs:
Installation of a multi-split system air conditioner might be the right choice for you. It is an important investment into your home and will be the difference between you loving the Brisbane summers and dreading them. It absolutely pays in the long run to be confident with the company that you choose for your home’s air conditioning installation.
