Air Conditioning Store in Perth metropolitan
An air conditioning store sells, and usually also installs and services, the cooling and heating gear that keeps Perth homes and businesses livable through the hot months. That covers split systems, ducted reverse-cycle units, multi-head setups for larger homes, and commercial packaged units, plus the ongoing work of servicing, regassing, and repairing what's already installed. We've got 387 of these businesses listed across the Perth metro area, ranging from small local outfits running one or two vans to larger showroom-based dealers who carry multiple brands and handle bigger commercial jobs.
When you're comparing stores, a few things matter more than a flashy showroom. Check whether they're licensed to handle refrigerant (this is a legal requirement, not optional), whether they're an authorised dealer for the brand you want (this affects warranty claims), and whether the quote includes electrical work, ducting, and disposal of the old unit, not just the box itself. Ask how long they've been servicing the specific brand and model you're considering, since parts availability and technician familiarity vary a lot between brands.
Our scoring looks at how each business presents itself, how it's rated by past customers, and how consistently it responds to and resolves issues, giving you a quicker way to shortlist a handful of stores worth calling.

Common questions about air conditioning store
- How much does a new air conditioning system cost in Perth?
- A single split system for one room typically runs from around $1,500 to $4,000 installed, depending on capacity and brand. Ducted reverse-cycle systems for a whole house are a bigger investment, often $8,000 to $18,000 or more depending on the number of zones and the size of the home. Get at least two or three quotes, since installation labour and ducting design can vary the total significantly between stores.
- How often does an air conditioner need servicing?
- Most manufacturers and installers recommend a service once a year, ideally before the peak summer season, to clean filters and coils, check refrigerant levels, and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Units running heavily through summer, such as in commercial spaces, may benefit from a check twice a year.
- What should I expect during an installation?
- A proper installation includes a site assessment to size the unit correctly for the room or house, mounting the indoor and outdoor units, running refrigerant piping and electrical wiring, and a final test of cooling and heating performance. For ducted systems, expect a design step to plan duct runs and zone controls before any work starts. A reputable installer will also explain warranty terms and register the product with the manufacturer on your behalf.
- How can I judge the quality of an air conditioning store before booking?
- Look for clear licensing details, straightforward written quotes that break down unit cost versus installation cost, and a willingness to explain why they're recommending a particular size or brand rather than just the most expensive option. Past customer reviews that mention how issues were handled after installation are often more telling than reviews about the sales process alone.
