Pricing guide
Costs are driven by the fault severity and whether refrigerant or sealed‑system work is needed. Simple diagnostics and minor in‑van repairs are typically less involved than replacing compressors, coils or condensing units, which usually require larger parts and more labour. Access constraints, specialist lifting or after‑hours attendance can also increase the final cost.
Fault severity and repair scope
A single‑technician visit usually covers diagnostics and minor repairs, while complex faults expand labour and time requirements.
Refrigerant work and leak detection
Leak tracing, refrigerant recovery and re‑gassing need specialised equipment and consumables and can require multiple visits.
Access, location and lifting requirements
Rooftop units, difficult access or the need for crane lifts often bring subcontractor involvement or specialised equipment.
Timing and after‑hours attendance
Emergency or after‑hours callouts typically attract higher labour rates and can materially affect the overall cost.
