Summer in SE QLD is non-negotiable on aircon. The operators on HelpSorted handle new installs (split systems and ducted), repairs (gas re-charges, fan motors, board replacements), and annual servicing (filter clean, coil clean, refrigerant check).

For a standard 5kW split system installed, expect $1,800-$2,800 including the head unit, outdoor unit, and a 3-5 metre install run. Ducted systems for a 3-bedroom house run $7,000-$13,000 depending on number of zones. Multi-head systems (one outdoor unit feeding 2-4 heads) cost more upfront but cheaper than separate splits over time.

Annual service is $150-$250 per system and worth it for warranty reasons and to catch leaks before the compressor fails. Refrigerant work must be done by an ARC-licensed operator - listings flag this where confirmed.

Air Conditioning in St Lucia — FAQs

What's the difference between split system and ducted aircon?
Split systems cool one room each via a wall-mounted head. Ducted runs cool air through ceiling vents to multiple rooms from one central unit. Ducted is quieter and more even but costs 3-4× more to install.
How long does an aircon last in SE QLD?
10-15 years for a well-serviced split system; less if it runs hard year-round without service. Annual service extends life noticeably.
What size aircon do I need?
Rough rule: 0.15kW per square metre with standard insulation. A 25 sqm bedroom needs ~3.5-4kW; a 40 sqm living room needs ~6kW. Installer can calculate exact based on orientation, insulation, and ceiling height.
Are smart / Wi-Fi aircons worth it?
If you want app control or zone scheduling, yes. The Wi-Fi adapter typically adds $100-$250 to the install cost; some brands include it standard.
