Air Conditioner Installation Overview

DR.COOOL is a Sydney based air conditioning supply and installation company. We handle the full job — unit supply, installation, and commissioning — for homes and businesses across Greater Sydney. No middlemen, no subcontracted guesswork. The same team that quotes your job installs it.

Our process is built around transparency: you get a fixed price based on your property details and photos before you commit. No site visit required before quoting. No price adjustments on installation day. Pay a $199 deposit to confirm your booking, and we'll have your system running in a day.

We install split systems, multi-head systems, and ducted air conditioning across Sydney Reverse cycle systems — which both heat and cool — are our most commonly installed type, and the most practical choice for Sydney and Brisbane year-round climate.

What Affects the AirCon Installation Cost

Unit Capacity

Split systems range from 2.5kW for smaller bedrooms to 9kW+ for large open-plan living areas. Larger-capacity units cost more to supply and may require dedicated electrical circuits.

Pipe Run Length

The standard allowance is typically up to 4–5 metres between indoor and outdoor units. Longer runs — common in two-storey homes or when the outdoor unit needs to be positioned away from the indoor unit — increase materials and time.

Wall Construction

Standard brick veneer is the baseline. Solid double-brick or masonry walls require core drilling, which adds time. Timber-frame homes have different penetration requirements.

Electrical work

Most installs run off a standard 20-amp circuit. Larger units (typically 7kW+) need a dedicated 32-amp circuit. If your switchboard requires additional work, this is quoted upfront.

Floor Level and Access

Ground-floor installations are simplest. Multi-storey homes or constrained outdoor unit placements add to the scope.

Small commercial and retail spaces

offices, studios, and small business premises

subject to strata by-laws; we can advise on what's typically permissible
