Pricing guide
Price variation is driven mainly by the type and complexity of the fault — electrical or control-board issues often need higher-skilled labour, while refrigerant top-ups or small parts are generally simpler. A callout fee and hourly labour rates typically apply, and after-hours attendance or the need for specialist lifting or major parts usually increases the overall cost.
Fault type and complexity
Electrical or control-board faults generally need more specialist skills than routine mechanical or refrigerant issues.
Need for electrical expertise
If an electrician or higher‑skilled technician is required for safe repair, this can change labour requirements and timing.
Replacement parts required
Simple components and refrigerant top-ups are usually less involved than replacing major items like compressors or large PCBs.
Diagnostic and labour time
Time spent locating the fault and testing components affects the total labour charged, especially if multiple visits are needed.
Timing and attendance (after‑hours)
Emergency or after‑hours attendance typically attracts a higher rate than standard business‑hour work.
