No aircon. Heatwave. Let's move.
Urgent jobs live or die on one thing: can an installer quote it without a site visit? Mark the job "ASAP" and your request goes, within minutes, to up to 3 licensed locals with genuine near-term availability. Have a photo of your old unit ready to text them back.
- Photo ready to text → sight-unseen quotes, often same day
- Like-for-like swap → half-day install once booked
- 3 installers max → urgency without getting fleeced
Urgent quote request
Mark it ASAP, that's what gets you to the front of the queue.
Urgent install questions
How fast can a replacement actually happen?
A like-for-like split replacement is a half-day job, the constraint is queue, not work. Mid-heatwave, installers triage: jobs they can quote sight-unseen jump the queue. Text your installer a photo of the old unit the moment they reach out and yours becomes one of them.
Will I pay more because it's urgent?
Peak-season demand carries a real premium, typically 15–20% over shoulder-season pricing, more for genuine emergency callouts. Getting up to 3 quotes still disciplines the price even when you're in a hurry; a photo gets those quotes back fastest.
What should I photograph?
The old outdoor unit (label visible if possible), the indoor unit, and the room. That's enough for most installers to confirm a like-for-like swap and quote it without a visit, often within the hour in business hours.
