Evaporative or refrigerated in a dry climate?

Adelaide's dry heat makes evaporative coolers popular and effective on most days, but they struggle on humid days and in sealed homes, and they add moisture. Refrigerated reverse cycle systems cool more reliably and also heat in winter. Ask the installer to compare both for your home; refrigerant work needs an Australian Refrigeration Council licence and the electrical connection a licensed electrician.

Before you hire an air conditioning in Adelaide

  • Send photos of the indoor and outdoor unit positions and the model label.
  • Describe whether the issue is poor cooling, water dripping, noise or a full installation.
  • For installation or refrigerant work, ask for the appropriate licence or authorisation.
  • Ask whether the quote includes brackets, drainage, electrical work and old-unit removal.

In Adelaide, air conditioning licences are issued by the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) for refrigerant handling; you can look a licence number up on its website.

Common questions

Is evaporative cooling or a split system better in Adelaide?
Evaporative works well in dry heat and costs less to run, while a split system cools consistently and also heats. The installer can advise based on your home’s size and insulation.
Who installs a split system?
An air conditioning installer with the qualifications needed for the refrigerant work, plus licensed electrical work where required.
Why is water dripping from my air conditioner?
A blocked drain or dirty indoor unit is a common cause. A service technician can check the drain and unit rather than guessing from the drip alone.
