Serving Modbury Heights
Air Conditioning Modbury Heights
Air conditioning in Modbury Heights is steady work for Greenwith Air Conditioning, because the brick and brick-veneer homes built through the 1970s and 1980s are hitting the age where systems need honest advice, not sales talk.

In detail
What Your Home's Era Means for Cooling
The suburb filled in through the 1970s and into the 1980s as a hillside extension above the original Modbury village, and that build era shapes every aircon conversation here.
The 1970s and 1980s stock.
The later infill.
Most homes here are owned by older families who plan to stay, so we test honestly and tell you whether a repair or a replacement is the better spend.
Local knowledge
Aircon Services Across the Hillside Streets
Whatever the era, the job falls into four services, and each one starts with a fixed quote:
Installation
Split systems or ducted sized to the rooms, with the sloping blocks levelled properly for the outdoor unit. See the full installation process.
Repairs
Faults diagnosed on the spot, from weak airflow to a system that will not start, with 24/7 emergency availability. The repairs page covers what a call-out involves.
Replacement
Old units changed over with legal refrigerant recovery before anything comes apart. The replacement page walks through the changeover.
Cleaning
Coils, filters and drains cleared, which matters with mature trees around Hargrave, Hinkler and Kestral Reserve dropping litter. Book a clean before summer.
Common problems
Aircon Problems We See Here
The age of the stock shows up in the faults we get called to:
Ageing units
Compressors and control boards from decades-old installs fail without warning, and we quote both repair and changeover honestly.
Water indoors
A condensate drain set without enough fall on the sloping ground lets water pool and drip inside, covered on our leaking water page.
Weak airflow
Crushed or split ducting and choked filters starve the outlets, and the not cooling page explains the diagnosis.
Fault codes
A code on the controller is a sensor reading, not a verdict, and our error codes page decodes the common ones.

In detail
Cooling Work Done Safely and Legally
Refrigerant is the part of this trade you cannot shortcut, and the licence is how you know we do not.
ARC licence L162586
A RAC01 Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, covering installation, service, decommissioning and refrigerant handling.
Refrigerant recovered legally
Any old gas is recovered properly before a unit comes out, never vented.
Fully insured
Every job is covered, and the work carries a Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if a fault occurs due to workmanship, the team returns and fixes it at no cost.
Running costs
Energy Use and Running Costs for Aircon Here
Adelaide heat is dry and hot, with consecutive days over 40 in a heatwave, and that stretch is where running costs show up.
Sizing beats guesswork
A unit matched to the rooms holds temperature without running at its ceiling, which costs less and lasts longer than one that is undersized.
Zoning saves money
Closing off unused rooms on a ducted system means you are not paying to cool empty space, which suits the closed-off layouts of the 1970s homes.
Evaporative runs cheap
Dry Adelaide summers are exactly what evaporative cooling wants, and it costs a fraction of a split or ducted system to run, as long as you keep windows open. It does not warm the house, so winter still needs a separate plan.
Star ratings matter
A higher star rating compounds across a whole summer of running, and we quote the efficient options rather than the easy sale.

Good to know
Modbury Heights Aircon Questions
My home was built in the 1970s. Can it still take a modern system?
Yes, the single-storey brick homes built above central Modbury have the wall space and roof cavity for either a split system or ducted, and we size the unit to the rooms before quoting.
Does the slope of my block affect the installation?
It can, because the foothill slopes fall toward the plain, so we level the outdoor unit base and set the condensate drain with enough fall to keep water moving away from the house.
Do the mature trees near the reserves cause problems?
They can, because established plantings around reserves like Hargrave and Kestral drop leaf litter that buries condenser coils, so an annual clean keeps the system running efficiently.
Is there a discount for pensioners?
Yes, we offer a 10% pensioner discount, which suits the older families who own most of the homes here, and the discount is applied to the fixed quote before any work starts.
