NSW requires home building work over $5,000 to be done by a licensed contractor. Air conditioning installations typically require an electrical licence and ARCtick authorisation for refrigerant handling.
From coastal Sydney to western NSW, cooling loads vary significantly. Quotes should reflect the capacity (kW) appropriate for your area — our audit flags when sizing details are missing.
Many NSW properties are strata-titled. Outdoor unit placement, common property approvals, and access restrictions can affect installation cost. We flag when these aren't addressed in the quote.
