FAQs

Why Is My Air Conditioner Leaking Water?

There could be a number of reasons your air condioning is leaking water… condensation or clogged drain for instance. Best to hire a qualified air conditioning and refrigeration machinic eliminate all possibilities. Contact Us Today.

Do You Re-Gas Air Conditioners and Commercial Fridges?

Sure, but we’ll find the leak first 😉

Sometimes the unit has a leak. If there’s a leak and we re-gas it, you’ll be calling us back 12 months to re-gas it again. But, if we fix the leak, your unit will retain gas longer and work more efficiently.

What Are The Best Air Conditioners?
The License to Chill ONLY installs a range of energy efficient, reliable and trusted brands which are suitable to the floor size and your specific needs. Let’s discuss your options when you
Contact us today.
How Long Do Air Conditioners Last?

Typically air conditioners have a lifespan of 10 – 15 years and like all things mechanical, regular clean and maintenance plays a part in the longevity of the unit.

For highest efficiency and cost-effectiveness regular maintenance and clean every 12-18 months works best.

Coastal areas such as Byron Bay, Lennex Head and Brunswick however, are more susceptible to rust from the salty air and need more regular checks.

Commercial systems are best maintained on a monthly or bi-monthly basis due to a large workload.

How Much Do You Charge?

Depends on the job, but I will say this, we’re not the cheapest in town.

Imagine this..

You need a heart surgeon. Do you decide to go to the most respected and renowned surgeon in the state or the one down a dark alley with a “Two for One Deal” sign out the front?

There’s no dollar sign on peace of mind.

The last thing you want is an air conditioner installed at face height or exposed wires to the weather, right?

Believe us when we say – “We have seen it all” (sigh).

Now, air conditioning or refrigeration are not life or death surgery. But it can be costly if the person you hire stuffs it up… or if you go for “cheap” and end up paying more in the long run.

Remember this – when you hire The License to Chill you are paying for experience and quality workmanship.

How Do I Know You Can Fix My Air Conditioner or Refridgeration?

You don’t.

Just like a computer, there are many potential faults (multiple boards). We combine our detailed checklist and out-of-the-box thinking to get to the bottom of the problem.

“No stone left unturned!” as the saying goes.

What Do You Guarantee?

Good question!

IF your recently installed air conditioner (by The License to Chill), deems to be a lemon and we have been unsuccessful to rectify the issue within three attempts. Not only will you be covered for the 5 year warranty but we will install a new unit absolutely FREE + $200 gift card as our apology.
