Office tenants, building managers and fit-out builders in Australia search commercial HVAC pricing at decision points: a fit-out needs plant, a system is failing, a maintenance contract is up. Our guide answers with verified bands; the territory routes every enquiry to you alone.
Coverage: commercial air conditioning enquiries Australia-wide — one firm locked per territory.
3 cities live — one contractor locked per area.
HVAC couples project revenue to annuity revenue. One small ducted or packaged install at $12,000-$30,000 covers the $500/month + GST lock many times over as a single project - and every install seeds a maintenance contract at $300-$800 per unit per year that renews on its own schedule. A six-unit maintenance client alone is worth about $3,000 a year. In a trade where the install decides who holds the maintenance, being the exclusive answer at install time is the entire game.
What actually comes through: the quote funnel on our cost pages routes new system install, split system, ducted/packaged system, vrf/vrv system, maintenance contract, repairs & fault-finding, regas & leak detection and system replacement enquiries - each one SMS-verified before it reaches you.
HVAC demand swings harder with the seasons than any other commercial trade: the pre-summer service rush, the heatwave failure spikes, the winter changeover - and underneath it, the steady drumbeat of maintenance contracts and fit-out projects. That shape rewards holding the territory continuously: the contractor who owned the autumn maintenance enquiry owns the summer breakdown call and the eventual replacement project. Buyers arrive at three moments - planning a fit-out, watching a system fail, or reviewing a maintenance contract - and all three arrive with budgets attached. The install-to-annuity structure of the trade means each converted enquiry keeps paying long after the job closes.

| Hourly rate, commercial | $100per hour | $130 | $160 |
| Commercial split supply + install | $2,500per job | $4,500 | $7,500 |

| Ducted/packaged, small commercial | $12,000per job | $18,000 | $30,000 |
| VRF/VRV per indoor unit | $3,500per unit | $5,000 | $7,500 |
| Maintenance contract | $300per unit per year | $500 | $800 |
| Refrigerant leak detect + regas | $400per job | $700 | $1,200 |
| Full replacement, small office | $8,000per job | $15,000 | $25,000 |
Reading these as a contractor: installs win the maintenance contract, and maintenance wins the replacement - quote the per-unit service band with every install, because the annuity is where the margin compounds. Lead the reply with the architecture question rather than a price: the buyer choosing between splits, ducted and VRF needs the design conversation first, and the contractor who has it becomes the default for the install, the maintenance contract and the eventual replacement.
