What a licensed Alice Springs installer must hold
ARCtick licence
The federal refrigerant handling licence. Legally required to install any split system, no ARCtick, no install. Checkable on the ARC public register.
NT electrical licence
Electrical work in the Territory needs an NT electrical worker or contractor licence, and this far north, tropical-spec equipment should be standard. Ask for the licence number on the quote.
Licensed electrical work
New circuits and switchboard work must be done by a licensed electrician. Good installers either hold the licence or bring their sparky, ask which.
Verify any installer yourself in two minutes: check their refrigerant licence on the ARC licence register and their trade licence via NT.gov.au licensing. Every quote should carry both numbers.
How the matching works
Tell us the job, system type, postcode, timing. We send it to at most three licensed installers who genuinely service your area, they quote it obligation-free, and you compare their numbers against our published Alice Springs ranges. Pick one, or walk away. No call centres, no lead-selling, no follow-up campaign.
Red flags when hiring
Any one of these is a reason to get another quote.
No licence number on the quote
Licensed installers put their numbers in writing without being asked. A quote without one is a quote from someone hoping you will not check.
A firm price over the phone
Nobody can price your job without seeing it or photos of it. Phone-only prices grow on install day, when it is hardest to say no.
Large deposits upfront
A small booking deposit is normal. Half the job upfront is not. If a deposit feels large, compare it against another quote before paying anything.
"Today only" pricing
Real installed prices do not expire at midnight. Pressure tactics exist to stop you comparing, which tells you what the comparison would show.
No written warranty terms
Five years parts and labour is the Australian standard. If the warranty only exists verbally, so does your protection.
Cash-only deals
A discount for cash usually means no paper trail, which means no warranty, no licence accountability and no comeback if it fails.
Install day: what to expect
Split system: about half a day
Indoor unit mounted, outdoor unit placed and connected, refrigerant lines run and pressure-tested, system commissioned and demonstrated. Clear access to the wall and switchboard speeds everything up.
Ducted: one to two days
Roof cavity work first, ducts, outlets and zones, then the unit, controls and commissioning. Expect installers in the roof and a tidy-up at the end. Two-storey and complex zoning runs to a second day.
