Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring refrigeration mechanics

How much do refrigeration mechanics typically charge?

Costs for refrigeration mechanics vary widely depending on the type of job, whether sealed-system work or a full coolroom install is needed, and the parts required. Most quotes include a call-out component plus labour time and materials, with after-hours work usually costing more. Check the live pricing shown on this page for current rates.

Do refrigeration mechanics charge call-out fees?

Many refrigeration mechanics charge a call-out fee to attend a property to cover travel and the initial diagnosis. This fee is generally separate from hourly labour and parts, and after-hours or emergency attendance often attracts higher rates. It's advisable to confirm any call-out or minimum charges when requesting quotes.

Do refrigeration mechanics need a licence in Australia?

Yes. Refrigeration mechanics generally need a contractor licence in every Australian state and territory, and licence requirements are enforced by state authorities such as NSW Fair Trading in New South Wales. Providers should display a valid state refrigeration or air conditioning contractor licence and, where refrigerant handling is involved, an ARC Tick (RHL) endorsement is commonly held.
