Air Conditioning Store in Perth metropolitan
An air conditioning store in the Perth metro area typically sells, sizes, and arranges installation of split systems, ducted units, and evaporative coolers, and many also carry ongoing service and repair work. Some are showroom-style outlets tied to specific brands (Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Actron), others are trade suppliers that also install, and a fair number are one-person contractor operations working out of a van. We've listed 342 of these businesses across the metro area, from Joondalup to Rockingham and out to the Hills, so buyers have a genuine spread of options to compare rather than whoever comes up first in a search.
Because Perth summers push units hard for months at a time, the difference between a store that does a proper heat-load calculation and one that just quotes off floor size shows up fast on your power bill and in how long the unit lasts. When you're comparing stores, look for a written quote that specifies the brand, model, capacity in kW, and whether the price includes electrical work, a proper condensate drain, and disposal of any old unit. Ask whether the installer is the person who'll actually be on the roof, or if it's subcontracted out, since that affects who you call if something goes wrong.
Our scoring weighs licensing and insurance, responsiveness, the consistency of customer feedback over time, and how transparent a business is about pricing and warranty terms, so you're not relying on a handful of cherry-picked reviews.

Common questions about air conditioning store
- How much does it cost to have a split system installed in Perth?
- A basic single split system (2.5-3.5kW) supplied and installed typically runs from around $1,800 to $3,000 depending on brand and how much wall or roof work is needed. Larger capacity units, multi-head systems, or jobs needing extra electrical work or long pipe runs push well past that. Ducted systems for a full home commonly start around $8,000 to $9,000 and can run much higher depending on house size and zoning. Always get the quote broken down so you know what's actually included.
- How often should an air conditioner be serviced?
- Most manufacturers and installers recommend a service once a year, ideally before summer, covering a filter clean, coil check, gas pressure check, and drain clearance. Units in coastal areas or homes near heavy dust or pollen may need it more often, since Perth's salt air and dry summers both add wear.
- What should I expect during the buying and installation process?
- Expect a site visit or at least detailed questions about room size, ceiling type, and existing wiring before you get a firm quote, since a proper installer won't size a unit off a phone call alone. Installation for a single split system usually takes half a day to a full day; ducted systems can take several days depending on how much ceiling access and ductwork is involved.
- How can I tell if an air conditioning store does good quality work?
- Check that they hold a current refrigerant handling licence and electrical contractor licence, ask what warranty covers labour versus parts, and see whether they explain the heat-load calculation rather than just quoting a round number. A business willing to put all of that in writing before you pay a deposit is generally a safer bet than one working off a verbal quote.
