What to look for when hiring an air conditioning technician in Perth
In Western Australia, anyone working on refrigerant-based air conditioning systems must hold an ARCtick licence issued by the Australian Refrigeration Council. This covers split systems, ducted reverse cycle, and multi-head systems. Always ask for the technician’s ARCtick licence number before booking installation or repair work. For evaporative cooling systems, an ARCtick licence is not required – but the installer should still be experienced and carry appropriate insurance.
Perth’s climate means air conditioning is not optional for most households – it is a necessity. When choosing a system, get at least two quotes and make sure each quote specifies the brand, model, capacity in kilowatts, and what is included in the installation price. Cheap installation quotes often exclude electrical work, which can add several hundred dollars to the final cost. Confirm upfront whether a licensed electrician is included in the price or whether that is a separate engagement.
For servicing and repairs, ask how long the business has worked on your specific system type – evaporative coolers, ducted reverse cycle, and split systems all have different maintenance requirements. A technician who primarily installs new systems may not be the best choice for diagnosing a fault on an older ducted system. Regular servicing in Perth is recommended before summer each year to avoid breakdown callouts during peak periods when wait times blow out.
