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.
