Because QEI also provides electrical contracting services, the air-conditioning and electrical requirements can be coordinated through one accountable team.
This can simplify switchboard assessments, new electrical circuits, system replacements and installations requiring related electrical work.
Air-Conditioning Services
QEI can assist with:
- New residential air-conditioning installations
- Commercial air-conditioning installations
- Replacement of existing systems
- Customer-supplied system installations
- Air-conditioning fault assessment and repairs
- Electrical circuits and isolation requirements
- Switchboard assessments and related electrical upgrades
- Coordination of the complete installation
- Testing and handover
QEI does not provide routine air-conditioning servicing or scheduled maintenance.
New Air-Conditioning Installations
Selecting an air conditioner involves more than choosing a system based only on room size. The assessment may consider:
- Room and property layout
- Insulation and sun exposure
- Intended operating times
- Indoor and outdoor unit locations
- Pipework and drainage routes
- Access for installation and future maintenance
- Existing electrical capacity
- Noise and visual considerations
- Residential or commercial operating requirements
QEI will explain the proposed system, installation location, required electrical work and relevant inclusions before the installation proceeds.
Customer-Supplied Air Conditioners
Yes, QEI can install air-conditioning systems supplied by the customer. Before scheduling the installation, we will confirm the equipment details and review whether the system appears suitable for the property and proposed installation location.
The customer should provide:
- The manufacturer and model
- System capacity
- Photographs or product information
- Proposed indoor and outdoor unit locations
- Details of any existing air conditioner being replaced
The installation quote will explain what is included and identify any additional electrical, mounting, pipework, drainage or access requirements. Manufacturer warranty arrangements for customer-supplied equipment remain subject to the manufacturer’s terms and the place of purchase.
System Replacements
Replacing an existing air conditioner may involve more than exchanging one unit for another. The existing electrical supply, pipework, drainage, mounting location and system capacity should be assessed before replacement equipment is selected.
Where existing components cannot be reused, QEI will explain the additional work required.
Air-Conditioning Repairs
If an air conditioner is not operating correctly, QEI can assess the system and identify the likely cause. Depending on the fault, the recommended action may involve:
- Electrical fault repair
- Replacement components
- Refrigeration-related repair
- Further diagnostic testing
- Complete system replacement
Where the issue cannot be confirmed without diagnostic work, applicable assessment or diagnostic charges will be explained before work begins. The availability of replacement parts will depend on the equipment manufacturer, model, age and condition.
QEI does not provide routine air-conditioning servicing or scheduled maintenance.
Commercial Air Conditioning
QEI provides air-conditioning installation, replacement and repair services for commercial properties and operational sites. We can coordinate with business owners, builders, facilities teams, property managers and other trades to plan the work around site access and operational requirements.
Where an electrical upgrade, new circuit or switchboard work is required, QEI can coordinate the complete electrical and air-conditioning scope through one business.
Electrical Work for Air Conditioning
Air-conditioning installations often require electrical assessment or modification. QEI can assess and complete associated work including:
- Electrical capacity assessments
- Dedicated air-conditioning circuits
- Isolation requirements
- Switchboard alterations
- Electrical upgrades
- Testing and commissioning
Where additional electrical work is required, it will be explained and included in the proposed scope where possible.
One Team for Air Conditioning and Electrical Work
Using QEI for the complete scope provides:
- One point of contact
- Coordinated electrical and air-conditioning work
- Assessment of existing electrical capacity
- New circuits or isolation where required
- Clearer scheduling
- Testing and handover through one business
Equipment and Warranties
Where QEI supplies the air-conditioning equipment, the proposed quote will identify the manufacturer and relevant product warranty information. Manufacturer warranties remain subject to the manufacturer’s terms, including any product-registration or maintenance requirements.
For customer-supplied equipment, product and manufacturer warranty matters generally remain between the customer, retailer and manufacturer.
