1. In-Depth Home Assessment and Tailored Quotation Development

Before initiating any installation activities, we conduct a thorough inspection of your residence. This in-home evaluation is crucial for pinpointing your distinct air conditioning needs, enabling us to suggest the most effective solution finely tuned to your living environment.

During this comprehensive assessment, we evaluate a variety of significant factors that impact the installation process:

• Room size and specific airflow requirements, which are essential for optimal climate control
• The type of walls, accessibility to the roof, and overall structural integrity, ensuring a robust installation
• The best placement for the outdoor unit to enhance airflow efficiency while minimizing noise disruption
• Electrical capacity of the switchboard and overall electrical safety standards, which are paramount for safety
• Drainage points to effectively manage condensate and prevent potential water damage
• Compatibility with solar systems and zoning considerations, if applicable, to maximize energy efficiency

This thorough evaluation allows us to design a system that is ideally sized for your home, confirm logistical details for the installation, and provide you with an accurate quote that aligns with your expectations and budget.

2. Scheduling Your Air Conditioning Installation Appointment with Ease

Once you decide to move forward with the installation, we will collaborate to find a convenient date to carry out the work. The timeframes for installations can fluctuate based on seasonal demand; however, we will always ensure to clarify essential details:

• Access requirements (including gates, pets, and parking considerations) to facilitate smooth operations
• Indoor work areas that must be kept clear to allow our installation team to function efficiently
• An estimate of the time required to complete the installation, so you can plan accordingly
• Any items, such as furniture or shelves, that may need to be relocated to enable the installation

Additionally, we will file the necessary electrical work notices in accordance with Queensland safety regulations, ensuring that the installation process adheres to all compliance standards and prioritizes safety.

3. What to Expect on Installation Day: Key Activities and Timelines

For a Wall-Mounted Split Air Conditioning System:

• Carefully marking the wall position and precisely drilling entry points to avoid damage
