Existing wiring and mounting points can reduce overall cost. Unit size, brand, and pipe run length vary.
Split System
New Installation
$2,500 – $6,000+

Ducted System
Replacement or New Install

Important
The Most Expensive Air Conditioning Mistake
Choosing the wrong size or type of system because the cheapest quote skipped a proper assessment.
Many homeowners focus on the lowest price without understanding system sizing, airflow, installation quality or long-term running costs.
This often leads to higher operating costs, poor performance, and eventually replacing the system again — at full cost.
The Real Reason
Why One Company Quotes $3,000 And Another Quotes $5,000
When you get three quotes for air conditioning, they look like they're for the same job. They're not.
Every installer makes different decisions about system sizing, brands, pipe runs, electrical work, and installation method. These differences affect performance, reliability, and long-term cost — and they're rarely explained upfront.
When you compare prices without understanding what's in each quote, you can't actually compare them. Most homeowners pick the cheapest quote for a job that looks nothing like what they actually needed.
System Sizing
Too small and it can't cope. Too large and it short-cycles. Most quotes skip this step.
Brand & Model
Wildly different reliability, efficiency, and warranty support at similar price points.
Pipe Runs
Where the unit goes and how far pipes travel affects performance and cost significantly.
Electrical Work
Some quotes include full electrical. Others assume existing wiring will do. It often won't.
Installation Method
How it's mounted, insulated, and finished affects noise, leaks, and longevity.
Warranty Support
Who backs the job if something goes wrong 18 months later? Not every installer does.
Our assessment process is built to show you exactly what you're comparing — system size, scope, and what's included — before you commit to anything.

Believe the hype. These guys are the best in the biz. We got quoted nearly $15k by another company to rip out our current ducted system and replace it. After more research we found these guys — not only did they fix our current unit but they worked with us to upgrade it to our needs. So for a fraction of the price we have our current unit fixed, now with a new touchscreen and Apple Homekit connectivity. Exactly what we wanted. Cheers Sam and the team.

Peak Air did a great job putting in a new air conditioner. Polite and competent and very competitive on price. What I really like was the response I received when I asked whether I should also replace an older existing air con unit. The advice was no, just get it serviced and replace it if it breaks. Honest advice that saved me money.

The Peak Air team (Zach, Sam, Jack and Jacob) were super efficient, great workmanship, attitude and punctual. They conducted themselves professionally and answered questions we had about our replacement ducted air conditioning that was 20 years old. They finished their job by leaving our home in a clean state and we appreciated the time they took to make sure we received a thorough handover on how to use our new system. Highly recommended.

We engaged Sam and the guys from Peak Air to replace all of our current aircons and install some new ones, and we are so happy with the results! The quoting process was so easy and Sam provided great solutions for our needs. We had them installed within 2 weeks which was such a great turnaround time. The guys who came to install them were on time, completed the works neatly and professional. Thanks again!

I enquired from Peak Air to come and look at my faulty air conditioner. They replied very promptly and arrived at my site within a few days. Their quote out of another two companies was the most economical. The professionalism of the Peak Air staff was outstanding. They also communicated well throughout the process and were always punctual on their agreed dates.

Absolutely fantastic service. So prompt, professional and very reasonably priced. Sam was brilliant, he got stuck into the work on a blisteringly hot day and didn't stop until the issue was resolved. Look no further I highly recommend The Peak Air Team.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We're focused on getting the right system installed properly. If you're looking purely for the lowest price, we're probably not the right fit — and we'd rather tell you that now than waste your time.
Because they're quoting completely different things. Different system sizes, different brands, different amounts of electrical and pipe work, different installation standards. When you compare prices without understanding what's in each quote, you can't actually compare them. This is the most common mistake — and it's why we spend time on the assessment before quoting anything.
It depends on your home layout, how many rooms you want to condition, your budget, and whether you're replacing an existing system or starting fresh. We'll help you compare both options clearly during your assessment — including an honest view of the cost difference and long-term tradeoffs.
Split system replacements typically start from around $2,000–$4,500+. New split system installations from around $2,500–$6,000+. Ducted systems from $12,000–$20,000+ depending on whether it's a replacement or full new install, your home size, and zones. Your fixed-price quote is confirmed after your free assessment.
Yes. We replace old split systems and ducted systems. If you know the make and model of your existing unit, include it in the form below — it helps us prepare before we call.
Once we understand your requirements and have the right system in stock, installation is typically scheduled within one to two weeks. We'll confirm a timeframe during your assessment call.
