Air Conditioning
Service & Repairs
in Chatswood NSW

Artarmon Air Conditioning, a licensed air conditioning business based eight minutes away in Artarmon, services, repairs and deep cleans air conditioning across Chatswood NSW 2067. That covers the apartment towers, the older walk-up blocks, the houses, and the offices and shops around Victoria Avenue. Artarmon Air Conditioning holds NSW contractor licence 394793C and Refrigerant Trading Authorisation AU60391, carries public liability insurance, and works on systems whoever installed them.

It depends on the building, because 68 per cent of Chatswood's 11,129 dwellings are flats or apartments and the rest are mostly houses, according to the 2021 Census. Artarmon Air Conditioning typically finds bulkhead, cassette and multi-split systems in the newer towers, wall-mounted splits retrofitted into the older apartment blocks, and ducted and split systems in the houses. The building usually tells us what to expect before we arrive.

Yes, as long as building access is arranged before the visit. Artarmon Air Conditioning supplies a certificate of currency and a licence copy and completes any contractor induction. When you book, tell us who manages access and send the building or strata manager's contact, where the outdoor unit is if you know, and whether the building requires an induction.

Yes. Artarmon Air Conditioning services and repairs air conditioning in offices, shops, salons and consulting rooms around Chatswood's Victoria Avenue commercial core, including cassette, bulkhead, package and VRF systems. Air conditioning that runs through business hours all year is best serviced every six months rather than annually. Building-wide central plant, chillers and cooling towers run under a mechanical services contract are outside what we take on.

That is short cycling, and it usually means the system is either satisfying the room too quickly or being stopped by one of its own protections. Artarmon Air Conditioning checks for a blocked filter or coil restricting airflow, a refrigerant charge problem, a faulty temperature sensor, and a system so oversized that even its lowest inverter output is more than the room needs. A compressor that keeps restarting wears far faster than one running steadily.

Often because only the indoor unit was cleaned. Artarmon Air Conditioning regularly finds the condenser on a roof or plant deck, where nobody can easily reach it, has been filling with dust for years and can no longer reject heat, however clean the unit inside is. Several condensers packed together on one deck also recirculate each other's hot air. A slow refrigerant leak is the other cause worth ruling out.

Often it is normal, and Artarmon Air Conditioning's first question is which mode the system was running in. In heating mode, a reverse cycle outdoor unit defrosts its coil in cold weather and the melted ice drains from the base, so water on a winter morning is expected. Water in summer is different. In cooling mode it often means the indoor unit's drain was run out to the balcony, where it can reach the balcony below.

Yes. Artarmon Air Conditioning services every system at the address in the same visit, whether that is a ducted system plus splits in a Chatswood house or several splits in an apartment, and servicing more than one system at the same address is discounted per additional unit. A ducted system takes longer than a split, because the fan coil unit in the roof, the return air filter and every zone need checking.
