HVACR Services

HVAC systems move air between indoor and outdoor areas, as well as regulating the temperature in residential and commercial buildings. Essentially, they are a system of climate control, keeping you warm during the winter and cool during summer. HVAC stands for:

• H: Heating – ensuring the room is not too cold.
• V: Ventilation – providing fresh air to prevent a space from feeling stale.
• AC: Air Conditioning – keeping spaces from becoming too hot or humid.

An HVAC system is designed to move heat to maintain comfortable conditions within built environments. Heat is moved out of a building in three stages:

1. Collection: exchanged in the conditioned space using air
2. Transfer: moved using water or refrigerant
3. Rejection: dissipated using air, water, or the ground as a heat sink

In principle, HVAC systems follow the laws of thermodynamics to keep indoor air quality clean and comfortable.

For a detailed explanation, see our HVAC System guide.

There are three common types of non-centralised HVAC systems:

1. Rooftop Packaged Unit
2. Split System
3. Ducted System 

For a detailed explanation, see our HVAC System guide.

The size of the HVAC system you’ll need depends on your building type and requirements. To achieve efficient climate control, consideration needs to be given to the built environment, maintenance access, and allowable levels of power and water consumption.

For a detailed explanation of the differences between high-rise and low-rise buildings, see our HVAC System guide.

The price of an HVAC system will vary based on its size and complexity – whether you need it for industrial, commercial, or private property. For a detailed quote, you can always message us with your requirements and we’ll assist you with anything you need.

An air-cooled system usually has a 12-15 year life cycle.

A water-cooled air conditioning system usually has a 20-25 year life cycle.

Environmental exposure will play a contributing factor in HVAC life cycles, as well as the maintenance program that is undertaken.

A bag filter usually has a 1 year life cycle, while cardboard filters last 3-6 months. To determine the lifespan of your filter, you should consider how often you use your heating and cooling system, the size of your house, and the air quality in your environment.

While HVAC systems can be costly, they are a worthy investment. If you install a high-efficiency HVAC system, it will actually help you save on energy costs in the long term by providing your space with a controlled comfort all year round.

Ideally, you should replace your HVAC system on or before the date of its estimated life expectancy. If you have been needing maintenance and repair services more frequently than usual, this might mean your HVAC system is deteriorating. Also, you should take notice whenever your energy costs start rising, as a drop in the energy efficiency of your system is a good indicator that it needs to be replaced. 

In a commercial application, HVAC maintenance should be done monthly as per Australian standards. To ensure proper maintenance of your units, consider hiring a specialised HVAC technician from a reliable HVAC service provider.

HVAC systems shouldn’t be making disturbing noises when you turn them on. Unusual sounds could mean a bad fan belt, that something is stuck inside, that there is a compressor malfunction, or many other problems. If you’re unsure of the source of the issue, it’s best to contact a technician to identify the problem and solve it right away. Doing so can prevent further damage to your HVAC systems and ensure their longevity.
