How it works, step by step

Relocate or Remove a Split System Air Conditioner without losing the gas.

Moving or removing an air conditioner is not a matter of unbolting it. The refrigerant has to be recovered first, by a licensed technician, before the pipes are disconnected. Whether you want the unit moved to a new position or taken out for good, tap a number to see how the job is done.

After the move: cooling test, vent air 10–14°C

Removal & decommissioning

Air Conditioner Removal Service for renovations, upgrades and old systems.

Renovating, extending, replacing an old system or clearing a unit that no longer works? Air conditioners hold refrigerant gas that is illegal to release into the air, so air conditioner removal is not a DIY job. In Australia only a licensed technician can recover the gas and disconnect the system.

An All Good relocation or decommissioning starts with an on-site quote, a fixed flat fee of $199 for new customers and $189 for returning customers. We assess the existing system, the pipework and access, and the new position if you are moving it, then give you a clear price to relocate, remove or decommission it.

Ducted Air Conditioning Removal, Relocation & Decommissioning

Ducted systems are the bigger job. The indoor unit sits in the roof space or under the floor, the ducts run to every room and the outdoor unit often has to move for a renovation, extension or new deck. We quote to relocate the outdoor unit, reroute outlets and ducts to suit a new floor plan, or decommission and remove an old ducted system that is being replaced.

Outdoor unit relocated

Filter and grille washed so the system can breathe properly.

Outlets and ducts rerouted

Outlets moved and duct runs changed to suit a new floor plan.

Old ducted systems removed

Roof-space unit, ducts and outlets taken out, ready for the replacement.

How much does air conditioner removal cost?

Air conditioner removal cost depends on the type of system, how many units there are, where they are mounted and how easy the access is. A ground-level split system costs less to remove than a ducted system or a unit on an upper storey. Our on-site quote, a fixed flat fee of $199 for new customers and $189 for returning customers, gives you a clear price before any work starts.

Can you move a split system air conditioner?

Yes. We can move the indoor unit, the outdoor unit or both. The refrigerant is recovered first, the unit is disconnected and refitted in its new position, and the pipework and drain are rerun to suit. The system is then pressure tested, vacuumed, recharged and run before we leave.

How much does it cost to relocate an air conditioner?

The cost to relocate an air conditioner depends on how far the unit is moving, the length of new pipework needed, the wall type and the access. Moving an outdoor unit a short distance costs less than moving an indoor unit to another room. Your on-site quote sets out the full price.

Can I remove a split system air conditioner myself?

No. A split system holds refrigerant gas under pressure, and it is illegal in Australia to release it into the air. Only a technician with a refrigerant handling licence can recover the gas and disconnect the system, and penalties apply for doing it without one.

How do you remove an air conditioner without losing the gas?

Before any pipe is disconnected, the refrigerant is either pumped down into the outdoor unit and sealed in, or recovered into a cylinder with a recovery machine. That keeps the gas contained, so the system can be recharged after a relocation and nothing is released on a removal.

What does decommissioning an air conditioner involve?

Decommissioning means taking a system out of service safely and permanently. We recover the refrigerant, isolate the power, remove the indoor and outdoor units, and remove or cap the pipework and drain. The wall penetrations are sealed so the area is ready for repairs or a new system.

Is it worth relocating an old air conditioner or should I replace it?

It depends on the age and condition of the unit. Relocating a newer system makes sense. For an older system, the cost of moving it can come close to the cost of a new, more efficient one, and some older units use refrigerants that have been phased out. We’ll tell you honestly which makes more sense when we quote.

What happens to the refrigerant when a unit is removed?

It is recovered into a cylinder by an ARCtick certified technician and returned through the industry’s refrigerant recovery program for safe disposal. It is never vented, which protects the environment and keeps the job legal.

Do I need to be home for the quote and the work?

Yes. Someone 18 or older should be there to provide access, show us the existing system and confirm where a relocated unit should go.
