Air Conditioning Replacement Backed by Local Work
Gilles Plains Air Conditioning is a family-owned Adelaide business with 24/7 availability for breakdowns that cannot wait until Monday. Every changeover is done under our full ARC licence.
Signs Your Aircon Has Reached the End
Most units warn you before they die, but the warnings are easy to ignore through a mild spring. Watch for these:
Bills Piling Up
One compressor failure can cost half of a new system on its own, and two or three callouts across a few summers tip the maths fast. We will run the numbers with you before you commit either way.
Power Bills Creeping Up
An ageing system works harder every year for the same cooling. In a 1950s prefab with thin imported-timber walls, that extra load shows up clearly on the summer bill.
Warm Air, Weak Flow
A system that cannot hold temperature on a 40-degree day is telling you something. When the compressor or coil is on the way out, patching it usually buys one season at best.
If any of this sounds like your place, our air conditioning repairs page covers the faults we fix, or you can just ring us for a straight answer.
What an Air Conditioning Replacement Actually Involves
A changeover is more than swapping a box on the wall. Here is what happens on the day:
Recovering the Refrigerant
The old system is degassed first, and the refrigerant is captured in a recovery unit rather than released. It is handled by technicians authorised for that work, every time.
Sizing Comes First
Every room gets measured for cooling load before we recommend a unit. Oversized systems cycle on and off, undersized ones never stop, and both cost you money.
Commission and Handover
The new unit is pressure tested, vacuumed, charged and run through its cycles before we leave. We show you how to drive it, then take the old system away.
What Moves the Price of a New Cooling System
No two changeovers price the same, and anyone quoting sight unseen is guessing. These are the things that shift the figure:
System type
Access
Switchboard condition
Old unit removal
Whatever the job involves, Fixed Upfront Pricing applies: a fixed quote before any work starts, no hourly rates, no bill shock.
How it works
How We Run a Replacement, Start to Finish
-
Step 1: Tell Us the Story
Call (08) 8246 6283 and describe what the unit is doing. We book an assessment at a time that suits, with 24/7 availability if the system has died mid-heatwave.
-
Step 2: Visit and Assess
A technician checks the spaces, the roof cavity and the switchboard, then talks through split versus ducted for your actual layout.
-
Step 3: Quote in Writing
You get the full figure on paper, including unit options and the running-cost difference between them, before anyone touches a tool.
-
Step 4: Install and Tidy Up
We remove the old unit, commission the new one, show you the controls and leave the place clean.

Questions
Replacement Questions, Answered
How do I know if my air conditioner needs replacing rather than repair?
If the unit is past ten years old, needs repeat repairs or struggles on heatwave days, replacement usually wins. We test the system first and give you an honest call either way.
How long does an air conditioning replacement take?
Most split system changeovers are done in a day. Ducted replacements can run longer where roof access is tight, which is common in the 1950s prefab cottages around Wandana Avenue.
Do you take away the old unit?
Yes. Refrigerant is recovered and disposed of properly under our full ARC licence, and the old unit is taken away as part of the quoted price, so nothing is left behind.
Which system suits a Gilles Plains home?
It depends on the house. The original timber prefabs and brick-veneer infill usually suit wall splits, while newer rebuilds with open living areas take ducted with zoning. We measure before we recommend.
Can I spread the cost of a replacement?
Yes. Fixed Upfront Pricing means the full figure is in writing before work starts, Humm offers interest-free finance for larger jobs, and there is a 10% pensioner discount.
