The key is to find those that can deliver the best quality work at the best price -but how can you do that unless you’ve assessed their work and compared all their pricing. Directories are hit and miss and littered with fake reviews, and even then, you need to take the time to obtain quotes from them all and work out what is and isn’t included in each one.
The good news is we’ve done all that for you.

Do you charge me anything for organsing the repair?No, nothing, nada, zilch, zip, zero. Because we deliver a large volume of reliable work to our service providers, they can afford to supply favourable pricing to our customers and provide a small service fee to us for sourcing, scheduling and arranging payment for the work. It's a win-win-win for all involved.

How do I find the best Plumber near me?Why go through the hassle of getting 3 quotes from a directory or chancing it on a google search? With perfectly curated reviews that seem suspiciously too good to be true, you still won’t know which are the most reliable. Well instead of 3 quotes, imagine how much better off you’d be if you got 10 quotes, or 100 quotes. Then you’d really know what the best price really is. Then, instead of blindly believing some questionable and hyped-up reviews, imagine if you had actually tried and tested them before. Well that’s exactly what we’ve done, and that's how we find the best Plumber for you.

WHAT'S BEEN YOUR PAST EXPERIENCE WITH AN AIR CON TECHNICIAN?
Do any of these sound familiar?

Not returning your calls

Not showing up when they say they will

Not cleaning up after themselves and leaving a mess

The feeling that your being ripped-off
Why do homeowners and Air Con Techs like working with us and how can we deliver favourable pricing with a better service experience?
Consider how things are typically done and it quickly becomes obvious... A home owner has a leaking kitchen tap. The Plumber gets a call typically when they’re knee deep in a hole or got their head under a sink… it’s no wonder the best and the busiest ones don’t answer your calls.
​
Thankfully, we've found a better way.

Air Con & Heating DIY & Troubleshooting
AIR CON NOT TURNING ON OR ERROR CODE DISPLAYED
Like most electrical appliances, one of the most effective, yet surprisingly simple troubleshooting tricks is to simply turn the appliance off, let it sit for a minute and then turn back on.
​
There should be a switch near the outdoor unit or in the power box where this can be done.
If this doesn’t fix it, we’ll need to organise a technician to solve this one. Be sure to note your Error Code (if one is displayed) when lodging your repair.
AIR CON NOT WORKING PROPERLY
If you feel like your Air Con just isn’t working like it’s supposed to, the first thing to do is to make sure your filters are clean. This video will help you through that process.
OTHER HANDY HINTS​
​
If your area is experiencing a severe weather event, say a heat wave. Then no matter how new the air con is, how clean the filters are, there is only so much the machines can do. If it’s 45 degrees outside, it’s unlikely that the air con unit will be able to get the inside temp down to your desired 22 degrees (no matter how hard it tries).
​
In this scenario, you can try a few extra tips…
​
TIP 1
Start Cooling Earlier
Try and get ahead of the heat a little. If you know it’s going to be a seriously hot day, close blinds and turn your air con on to start cooling the place a little earlier than usual. This will create a cooler thermal mass which will assist in keeping the place cooler for that bit longer and help you manage your way through the hottest part of the day.
​
TIP 2
Prioritise rooms to cool
Instead of trying to cool the entire house. Just pick the most important rooms that you will use that day. Use your Zones on your control panel if you have them and close doors to bathrooms and other areas that can go without cooling.
​
TIP 3
Run a sprinkler or hose around the outdoor unit
This will cool the air around the outdoor unit and enable it to start cooling air from a lower temperature which will in turn assist it to deliver cooler air to the indoor area.
​
TIP 4
Sanity Check
If you’re frustrated that the Air Con just doesn’t seem to be working, the best way to check is to go outside for a few minutes, and then come back in. If it’s working you should be able to notice the difference.
​
Remember, an Air Conditioner does just that… it conditions the air. It is not a freezer so in extreme weather events these machines just can’t work as well as they would usually.
