How much does aircon relocation cost?

We quote after a site visit, because scope depends on distance, piping route, electrical work, drainage, access, and whether existing materials can be reused safely.

Can I reuse my existing piping?

Often, yes. We check condition, diameter, and refrigerant compatibility before recommending reuse. If the pipes are corroded, undersized, or incompatible with the refrigerant type, replacement is the safer call.

Do you coordinate with renovation contractors?

Yes. For renovation jobs, pipe runs need to go in at the right stage, after hacking, before plastering. We work with your contractor on timing so the work doesn't delay the renovation.

How long does a relocation take?

A straightforward relocation within the same room can take half a day. Longer runs, new piping routes, or multiple units can take a full day. We'll confirm timing after the site survey.

Aircon Relocation

Aircon relocation moves an existing unit to a new position: refrigerant recovered, unit disconnected, piping and electrical rerouted, then recommissioned at the new spot. Scope depends on how far the unit's moving and whether the existing piping can be reused. We confirm both on-site before pricing. For current rates, see the pricing page.

What Aircon Relocation Covers

Recovery, disconnection, rerouting, and recommissioning of an existing unit at a new position or property. Common situations where relocation fits:

Indoor unit moving to a new wall position
Renovation layout change, cabinetry change, or room use change means the unit needs to be remounted.
Outdoor unit moving to a new bracket, ledge, or wall face
Condenser position changes, so refrigerant lines, drainage, and electrical all need rerouting.
Existing unit moving with the property plan
You're reusing the unit, not replacing it, so it needs recovery, disconnection, rerouting, and recommissioning.

When to Start Elsewhere

Relocation isn't always worth it. Check these before committing to moving the unit.

Unit is faulty and needs repair
Fix or diagnose the fault before deciding whether the unit's worth relocating.
You want a new unit at a new position
That's a new installation, not relocation.
Unit is old and relocation cost is close to replacement
Compare relocation against new installation before spending on an ageing system.

What We Plan Before Relocation

We scope distance, pipe condition, drainage, electrical routing, and access before quoting.

Move type
We confirm indoor-only, outdoor-only, both units, or cross-property move before pricing.
Pipe reuse or replacement
We check existing copper line condition, diameter, insulation, and refrigerant compatibility before recommending reuse.
Drainage and electrical route
We plan new slope, discharge path, cable route, isolator position, and access constraints around the new location.
Recommissioning requirement
We scope recovery, disconnection, rerouting, vacuum, gas charge, and testing so the unit works at the new position.

What You Get

A reused unit, properly moved, reconnected, and tested.

Relocation scope confirmed first
We check distance, access, pipe condition, electrical, and reinstatement before work starts.
Safe recovery and reconnection
We recover refrigerant, reroute the lines, and recommission the system at the new position.
Unit tested after the move
We verify cooling, drainage, airflow, and noise before handover.
