Pricing guide
Costs are driven by equipment size and complexity — from standard domestic units to walk-in coolrooms, multi-evaporator displays or rooftop plant. Systems needing refrigerant handling or balancing, specialised parts, additional technicians, access equipment or permits are typically more expensive than a routine service. A callout fee plus an hourly labour rate are usually applied, and after-hours attendance typically increases the rate.
Equipment type and size
Walk-in coolrooms and large plant generally require more time, expertise and possibly additional resources than standard domestic units.
Number of evaporators and cabinets
Multi-evaporator displays or linked cabinet banks often need extra coordination and can extend service time compared with single-evaporator units.
Refrigerant work and balancing
Systems with shared condensing units may need refrigerant balancing or specialist refrigerant handling, which typically adds complexity and material use.
Access, lifting and permits
Remote condensers, rooftop plant or deep coolrooms may require lifting gear, scaffolding or permits, increasing the scope and time on site.
Labour arrangements and timing
Jobs needing multiple technicians, longer labour time or after-hours attendance usually result in higher overall labour charges.
