Aircon Piping & Trunking Work
Aircon piping and trunking work covers copper refrigerant lines, drainage, insulation, and the trunking that conceals it. Most jobs come out of renovation work or fixing a previous install that went wrong. We quote after seeing the site, because the right route depends on the wall type, access, and what your contractor's planning around it. For current rates, see the pricing page.

What Piping & Trunking Work Covers
Copper refrigerant lines, drainage, insulation, and trunking installed, extended, replaced, or corrected. Common situations where piping work fits:
New installation needs pipe runs
Copper refrigerant lines, insulation, drainage, and trunking planned from scratch.
Renovation changes the route
Walls, cabinetry, ceiling work, or outdoor unit placement have shifted the original route.
Existing piping is damaged or poorly routed
Corrosion, insulation damage, poor drainage slope, or repeated gas loss all point back to the line set.
When to Start Elsewhere
Some related work needs a different starting point before piping gets touched.
Whole-house electrical is needed
We handle aircon-side wiring only. DB board upgrades and whole-house work need a licensed electrician.
Wall hacking or structural work is the main scope
We'll advise where penetrations are needed, but hacking is your contractor's scope.
The unit fault hasn't been diagnosed
Start with on-site inspection if the symptom could be the unit, not the piping.
What We Plan Before Piping Work
Piping quality decides cooling performance, refrigerant integrity, drainage reliability, and how clean the finished route looks.
Refrigerant line route
We check distance, bends, wall penetrations, copper diameter, insulation condition, and whether reuse is sensible.
Drainage path
We check condensate slope, discharge point, floor trap access, pump need, and backup risk.
Trunking and concealment
We plan visible trunking, false ceiling route, cabinetry constraints, and how the route fits the finished wall.
Testing and commissioning
We pressure-test, vacuum, charge refrigerant, test drainage, and verify cooling once the pipe work's connected.
What You Get
An aircon line set that's reliable, serviceable, and matched to the install.
Route planned before quoting
We check distance, wall type, access, drainage, and finishing constraints before work starts.
Pipe integrity verified
We pressure-test new or replaced pipe runs before introducing refrigerant.
Drainage slope checked
Condensate flow planned end-to-end so water doesn't back up after installation.
