Need air conditioning installation in Parkside? Parkside Air Conditioning fits split, ducted and evaporative systems into the suburb's cottages, villas and infill homes, with a fixed quote before any work starts.
Welcome
Trusted Local Air Conditioning Installation for Every Kind of Home and Budget
We're a family-owned Adelaide business with ten years operating, working under ARC Licence L162586. Our aircon crew covers the inner south every week, and we turn up when we say we will.
That matters whether you're renovating a bluestone terrace or fitting out a newer infill townhouse. Parkside homes reward careful planning, so we measure, quote and install without guesswork.
Common problems
Signs It's Time for a New Aircon Install
Some systems are worth repairing. Others quietly cost you more every summer, and installation becomes the smarter spend. Call us for a new system rather than another patch-up when:
- The unit is well past its service life and the compressor has failed.
- Repairs are becoming regular and the invoices are stacking up.
- Rooms never cool evenly, no matter what the thermostat says.
- You're running separate heaters and coolers that both struggle through the seasons.
If you're unsure which side of that line you're on, our air conditioning replacement page walks through the repair-versus-replace decision properly.
Checklist
What an Air Conditioning Installation Involves
Every house changes the job, but the shape of the work stays the same:
- We size the system to your rooms, your insulation and how you actually live in the house.
- We plan the outdoor unit position for airflow, noise and your neighbour's window.
- We run pipework, drainage and power with the least possible cutting into old walls.
- We commission the system, test it end to end and show you how to drive it.
Stone, brick and render walls, which you find through most of the older streets here, take more care than a modern timber frame. We allow for that in the quote rather than discovering it halfway through.
In detail
Split System or Ducted: Matching Cooling to the House
The housing stock here splits neatly in two, and each half wants a different answer.
Cottages and semis.
Infill and villas.
Heating matters as much as cooling in Adelaide, so reverse cycle earns its keep across both seasons. Our split system air conditioning and ducted air conditioning pages compare the two in detail. If you'd rather keep your existing gas heating and add cooling only, evaporative cooling runs cheaply in our dry summer air.
Parkside Air Conditioning quotes both paths honestly, because the right answer is the house's, not ours.
Pricing
What Drives the Cost of Your Install
Two houses on the same street can quote differently, and that's usually fair. The main drivers:
System type and capacity
Access
Electrical
Roof space
Fixed Upfront Pricing covers all of it: fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock.
How it works
How Your Installation Runs, Step by Step
First Phone Call
Tell us the house, the rooms and what you want the system to do. We book an onsite visit, usually within the week, and there's no charge for the look.
Measure and Quote
We measure rooms, check roof access and power, and talk through unit placement with you. The fixed quote arrives in writing before you commit to anything.
Install Day
Our crew protects floors, runs the pipework and mounts the units, then connects and charges the system. Most split installs finish within a day.
Test and Handover
We test cooling and heating, check drainage and airflow, and walk you through the controls. You keep the commissioning paperwork and the warranty details.
Why locals call us
Why Local Homeowners Choose Us for Cooling
Four reasons come up most when customers explain why they picked us:
Price Before We Start
The quote you sign is the invoice you pay. If something changes on site, we re-quote before we touch anything, so the figure never drifts.
Our Labour Warranty
If a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost. We stand behind every system we commission, split or ducted.
Licensed for Refrigerant
We work under ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence. That's the strongest ARC classification, and it covers the refrigerant work every install involves.
Local and Family-Owned
Ten years in the trade, family-owned, and more than 500 five-star reviews behind us. We're in the inner south most weeks, not just when a big job books in.
Questions locals ask
Your Installation Questions, Answered
How much does air conditioning installation cost in a heritage cottage?
Stone walls, tight side access and old wiring all affect the figure. We inspect the house first, then give you a fixed quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Can you install ducted air conditioning in an old bluestone cottage?
Sometimes, but the walls and roof space decide it. In many 1880s-era cottages near Glen Osmond Road, a split system per living zone avoids cutting through stone and costs less.
How long does an air conditioning installation take?
Most split system jobs finish in a day. Ducted installs usually take two to three days depending on roof access and how much ductwork the ceiling space can safely take.
Do you remove the old system when you install a new one?
We decommission and remove the old unit as part of the job, and refrigerant handling is done properly at decommissioning, so nothing is vented or dumped.
Will a new system cope with a 40-degree heatwave?
Yes, if it's sized for the worst week rather than the average one. We size for consecutive 40-degree days, then zone the system so you're not cooling empty rooms.
