Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Adding a second or third unit is where Edgemead quotes diverge, because the board often cannot take another circuit without work.

Compare Local QuotesWhat Drives Aircon Work Here
- Consistent 1980s family housing. Built to a limited set of plans, so contractors familiar with the suburb price quickly and accurately.
- Units failing as a cohort. Air conditioning went into many of these homes in the same wave, so replacements cluster. If neighbours are replacing, yours is on the same clock.
- Moderate room sizes. Mostly 9000 to 12000 BTU for bedrooms and 18000 BTU for living areas.
- Boards with limited spare capacity. A dedicated circuit is a common quoted item, particularly where a second or third unit is being added.
- Hot inland summers. Higher peaks and longer run times than the coastal suburbs, which favours inverters on daily-use rooms.
Response Times and After-Hours
Well covered by Northern Suburbs contractors. Ask for a whole-house price if you plan to add units in phases.
If water is running out of an indoor unit, switch it off at the isolator before anything else. The water damage almost always costs more than the repair does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a second aircon to my Edgemead house?
Usually, but check the board first. Adding a second or third dedicated circuit is where these quotes diverge, and a board upgrade is a legitimate line rather than an upsell.
My neighbour just replaced their aircon and mine is the same age. Should I?
It is a reasonable prompt to have yours checked rather than replaced outright. A service with pressures and current draw recorded tells you where it stands for a fraction of a replacement.
Should I install all the units at once?
If the budget allows, yes. The per-unit rate on a multi-unit visit is materially lower than booking installations one at a time, and the electrical work is done once.
How much does aircon installation cost in Edgemead?
A 12000 BTU inverter split supplied and installed back-to-back commonly runs R11,000 to R17,500. Installation only, where you supply the unit, is typically R3,500 to R7,500.
Does an aircon need regassing every year?
No. A sealed system does not consume refrigerant. If it needs gas every season it has a leak, and adding more without finding it means paying for the same gas twice.
