Choose the Air Conditioning Service You Need
Our Sparky holds current ARC (Australian Refrigeration Council) licensing covering the full residential and commercial split, multi-head and ducted scope. That matters because most aircon jobs need both refrigerant work AND electrical work — and most outfits subcontract one or the other. We do both ourselves, which means one warranty, one accountable team and no two-trade coordination delays. Below are the dedicated pages for each part of our aircon service: full installation, repairs and ongoing service. Pick the one that matches what you need, or call 0473 457 641 if you're not sure.
We supply and install all the major brands the Hervey Bay climate calls for — Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Fujitsu and Panasonic. For coastal suburbs (Urangan, Torquay, Point Vernon, anywhere within a kilometre of the water) we recommend coastal-spec outdoor units with corrosion-protected fins and stainless mounting hardware — the upfront cost is small and it doubles the realistic outdoor unit lifespan in salt air. We always specify the right capacity for the room with proper heat-load calculations rather than the lazy 'one kilowatt per ten square metres' rule of thumb that under-sizes most Hervey Bay living areas.
Repairs are usually a one-visit job. We carry the most common parts on the truck (capacitors, contactors, control boards, sensors, and standard refrigerants) and we do proper diagnostic testing rather than guess-and-replace. If the unit is beyond economical repair we'll tell you straight and quote a replacement at the same visit so you've got both options on paper before you commit. Annual service keeps warranty valid on most major brands and catches refrigerant leaks, dirty coils and dying capacitors before they take the unit out in the middle of summer.
On the install side, the most common Hervey Bay scenarios are well-defined. A single-head split into a master bedroom or main living area is straightforward — same-day install, neat copper line set runs, and a tidy outdoor unit on a wall bracket or ground pad. A multi-head system covering three or four rooms gives you whole-home zoning without the cost or ducting work of a full ducted install — well suited to the smaller block sizes through Pialba, Scarness and Eli Waters. Fully ducted is the right answer for new builds, large two-storey homes through Wondunna and Dundowran, and renovations where the ceiling is already open. We do all three and we'll tell you honestly which one suits your home — we have no incentive to up-sell because we're not on commission.
Service area covers every Fraser Coast suburb: Hervey Bay (Pialba, Scarness, Torquay, Urangan, Eli Waters, Kawungan, Dundowran, Wondunna, Point Vernon, Craignish), plus Maryborough, Burrum Heads, River Heads, Howard, Toogoom, Booral, Nikenbah, Urraween and Childers. No travel surcharges within this area. For non-urgent work we usually book within 24-48 hours; for an aircon that's failed in summer we'll do everything we reasonably can to get to you the same day. Call 0473 457 641 to book a free heat-load assessment, get a fixed-price written quote, or arrange same-day repair on an existing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need an ARC-licensed installer?
- Yes — by law. Anyone handling refrigerant in Australia must hold a current Australian Refrigeration Council licence. Using an unlicensed installer voids your manufacturer warranty and is a federal offence. Our Sparky is fully ARC-licensed.
- What size aircon do I need?
- It depends on room size, ceiling height, insulation, window orientation and how much sun the room gets. The lazy 'one kilowatt per ten square metres' rule under-sizes most Hervey Bay living areas. We do a proper heat-load calculation as part of every free quote.
- Which aircon brand do you recommend?
- It depends on the install. Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric are our most-installed brands for residential — both have excellent warranties and parts availability. Fujitsu and Panasonic are strong on the value end. MHI is the pick for ducted systems. We'll recommend based on the room and your budget.
- Do you do coastal-spec installs?
- Yes — for any property within a kilometre of the water (Urangan, Torquay, Point Vernon, parts of Scarness) we recommend coastal-spec outdoor units with corrosion-protected fins and stainless hardware. The upfront cost is small and the lifespan difference is significant.
- Can you repair my existing aircon?
- Yes — we repair all major brands, even if we didn't install it. Most repairs are a single visit. If the unit is beyond economical repair we'll tell you straight and quote a replacement at the same visit.
- How often should aircon be serviced?
- Annually for residential, twice a year for commercial. Annual service keeps warranty valid on most major brands and catches refrigerant leaks, dirty coils and dying capacitors before they take the unit out mid-summer.
