Pricing guide

Costs vary depending on whether the visit is a routine tune-up, a complex system service, or a repair requiring parts. Standard maintenance with only minor consumables is typically less costly than services that need extra diagnostics, refrigerant handling or replacement components. Timing, such as after-hours attendance, may also increase the final price.

  • System type and complexity

    Ducted, hydronic or heat-pump systems usually require more time and specialist handling than simple standalone heaters.

  • Diagnostics and refrigerant handling

    Systems that need refrigerant work or detailed diagnostics typically add labour and may require a licensed refrigeration tradesperson.

  • Parts replacement required

    Routine services generally cover minor consumables, while replacing common components or parts increases the scope and time involved.

  • Access and ductwork balancing

    Difficult access, duct access requirements or the need to balance ductwork can extend the job and affect the quote.

  • Timing and after-hours attendance

    Work carried out outside standard hours or at short notice typically attracts a higher rate than standard-hour visits.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed professional?
A licensed heating specialist is required for this type of work. For complex systems, additional licensed trades such as a gasfitter or refrigeration technician may also be needed.
Will the service include parts replacement?
Standard services typically cover routine maintenance and minor consumables only. If repair or parts replacement is needed, providers will usually move to a repair profile and may provide a separate quote for major components.
How long will the service take?
A routine tune-up is usually completed in a single visit, while complex systems or diagnosed faults may require longer on-site time or a follow-up visit. The exact duration typically depends on system complexity and any parts required.
Will the technician handle refrigerant?
For heat-pump and refrigeration-related services, work may involve refrigerant handling and specialist diagnostics. This usually requires a licensed refrigeration tradesperson and can add time to the job.
