Replacing an Old Air Conditioner

Air conditioners typically have a service life of 10 to 15 years. When an older system starts to require frequent repairs or its efficiency has dropped significantly, replacement is often more cost-effective than continuing to repair it. Norris Electrical makes the replacement process straightforward:

  • We remove and dispose of the old unit safely
  • We assess whether the existing installation and wiring can be reused or needs updating
  • We recommend a replacement system that matches or exceeds the capacity of the old unit
  • We install the new system to current standards and test it thoroughly before handover

Modern air conditioners are significantly more energy-efficient than units from 10 years ago, meaning a replacement often pays for part of its cost through lower running bills within a few years.

Choosing the Right Air Conditioning System

The right air conditioning system depends on the size of the space, the layout of your home, your budget, and your energy efficiency priorities. Norris Electrical helps clients navigate these decisions honestly:

  • Split systems – The most popular choice for single rooms or open-plan areas. Energy-efficient, relatively affordable, and available in a wide range of capacities. See our split system installation page.
  • Ducted systems – Ideal for whole-home climate control. A single outdoor unit connected to outlets in every room via concealed ductwork. Higher upfront cost but a seamless, whole-home solution.
  • Multi-head systems – Multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit. A good middle ground between split systems and ducted for homes needing cooling in several rooms.

Our Air Conditioner Installation Process

1.

Site assessment and system selection
We assess the room or area to be cooled or heated, calculate the correct system capacity, and recommend the most suitable model for your space, budget, and energy efficiency goals.

2.

Electrical preparation
A dedicated circuit is installed from the switchboard to the installation location, including an isolator switch adjacent to the outdoor unit, prior to the air conditioning unit being installed.

3.

Indoor and outdoor unit installation
The indoor wall unit is mounted and the outdoor unit is positioned and secured. Refrigerant lines, condensate drain, and control wiring are run between the units and connected.

4

Commissioning and test run
The system is commissioned, refrigerant is checked, and a full test run is carried out in both heating and cooling modes before we hand over and walk you through the controls.

Electrical Requirements for Air Conditioner Installation

Air conditioner installation involves specific electrical requirements that Norris Electrical handles as part of every installation:

  • Dedicated circuit – Most air conditioners require a dedicated circuit from the switchboard. We install this as part of the job.
  • Correct cable sizing – The cable must be correctly rated for the current draw of the installed unit.
  • Isolator switch – A weatherproof isolator switch must be installed adjacent to the outdoor unit as required by Australian standards.
  • Safety switch coverage – The dedicated circuit must be protected by a safety switch on the switchboard.

If your switchboard does not have capacity for a new circuit, we will advise on what is needed before installation day.
