If the repair is big, compare it with a new 2.5 kW system from $1,836.51. The quick answer - A service and clean is $363 including GST for one split system. It fixes a blocked filter or a dirty coil. - A regas after a leak check is $709.50 for 2 to 3.5 kW and $854.50 for 5 to 8 kW, including GST. - Part failures are quoted per job, after the fault is found and tested. - A new 2.5 kW split system, supplied and installed, is from $1,836.51 including GST. - Don’t open the unit. Electrical and refrigerant repairs need licensed people. ### How much does an air conditioner repair cost in Brisbane? Some split system jobs have a fixed published price. The rest depend on which part has failed. Faze split system prices, including GST, checked 5 October 2026 | Job | Price including GST | | --- | --- | | Service and clean, one unit | $363 | | Service and clean, two units | $599.50 | | Regas after leak check, 2 to 3.5 kW | $709.50 | | Regas after leak check, 5 to 8 kW | $854.50 | | Fan motor, sensor, circuit board or other part | Quoted after the fault is found | | New 2.5 kW split system, supplied and installed | from $1,836.51 | Low gas always means a leak, because a split system doesn’t use up its refrigerant. That’s why our [aircon regas](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/split-system-regas-cost-brisbane/) price includes a leak check first. A regas starts with a leak check. Gas added to a system that still leaks will leak out again. ### What changes the total air conditioner repair cost Four things move a repair bill that isn’t on the price list. - The part. A small sensor costs far less than a compressor or a circuit board. - The system’s age. Parts for older models can be harder to get. - Access. A unit high on a wall or a roof takes longer to reach safely. - The power supply. Sometimes the fault is in the circuit or the switchboard, not the air conditioner. Outdoor units mounted up a wall. Access is one of the things that changes the time a repair takes. We’re licensed electricians as well as air conditioning technicians, so a fault that crosses both sides is one visit. We repair split systems. We don’t repair ducted systems, but we service and clean them. ### Check these first, safely A few checks cost nothing and can save a booking. - Check the remote is on cool, set below the room temperature, and has working batteries. - Clean the filter if the maker’s manual says you can. - Look at the switchboard. If the air conditioner’s breaker has tripped, you can reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call us. - Note what happens: does the indoor fan run, does the outdoor unit start, is there ice, water or a new noise? **Don’t remove covers or touch the parts inside.** A split system has live electrical parts, moving fans and a sealed refrigerant circuit.

A good quote tells you what failed and how it was tested. **Ask for these on any repair quote** - The failed part, and the test that confirmed it. - Whether the part is genuine or compatible, and if it’s in stock. - For low gas: where the leak is, and how it will be repaired. - Any electrical work, listed separately. - Whether the price is fixed, and that it includes GST. Our quotes are fixed, and the quoted price is the invoiced price. If we find something unforeseen, we ring you first. ### Should you repair or replace it? When a major part fails, get the repair price and a replacement price side by side. A new split system, supplied and installed back to back on a single storey home, starts from $1,836.51 for 2.5 kW, $2,036.50 for 3.5 kW and $2,436.50 for 5.0 kW, including GST. Removing the old unit is $93.50. - How old is the system, and has it needed other repairs lately? - Is the part still available? - Has it ever cooled the room properly, or was it too small from the start? If it was too small, our [sizing guide](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/what-size-air-conditioner-do-i-need/) helps you match kW to the room. The [Brisbane air conditioner replacement cost guide](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/air-conditioner-replacement-cost-brisbane/) covers the extras, and every size is on our [aircon prices in Brisbane](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/air-conditioning-pricing/) page. ### Choose a licensed repairer An air conditioner repair can touch two licensed areas. The Australian Government’s [refrigeration and air conditioning page for consumers](https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/protection/ozone/rac/consumers) says only licensed technicians can handle refrigerants. The Queensland [Electrical Safety Office](https://www.electricalsafety.qld.gov.au/ddiy) lists repairing an electrical appliance as electrical work for a licensed electrician. A service and clean covers the filters and the coil, two common causes of weak cooling. We hold both: Queensland electrical contractor licence 90552 and ARCtick licence L181564. [This guide to the two licences](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/do-i-need-an-electrician-to-install-air-conditioning/) explains why both matter. We do [air conditioning repairs in Brisbane](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/air-conditioning-repair-brisbane/), and [air conditioning repairs in Logan](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/) are local work for us in Woodridge. ### Common questions about air conditioner repair cost #### Can I replace an air conditioner capacitor myself? No. It’s an electrical part inside the unit, and it can hold a charge after the power is off. A licensed technician tests it, checks why it failed and fits the right rating. #### How often should a split system be serviced? We suggest a service and clean once a year. It finds a blocked drain or a dirty coil before it turns into a repair. Our [air conditioner service cost breakdown](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/air-conditioner-service-cost/) shows what’s included. #### Do you repair ducted air conditioning? No. We service and clean ducted systems, and a ducted service and coil clean is $621.50 including GST, but repairs on ducted systems need a ducted specialist. Our advice If the system is cooling weakly, book a service and clean first. It’s $363 including GST and fixes a blocked filter or a dirty coil. If it still isn’t right, get a written repair quote and a replacement price before you approve a major repair.
