Stay Comfortable All Year Round with Expert Heating & Cooling
When the Adelaide heat kicks in — or winter nights get icy — you deserve a home that feels comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. At Adelaide Reliable Trades, we know how important reliable heating and cooling is for your family’s comfort.
Whether your old system is struggling, you’re building or renovating, or your aircon has suddenly stopped working, we’re here to make the process easy, stress-free, and affordable.
We take the time to listen, understand your home, and recommend the best solution for your needs — not just the most expensive one.
Our Core Heating & Cooling Services
Ducted Reverse Cycle System Installations
If you’re looking for whole-home comfort, a ducted reverse cycle system is the ultimate solution. One system heats and cools your entire home — evenly, efficiently, and quietly.
We help you choose the right system for your layout, energy needs, and budget. Our licensed team handles complete installation, zoning options, and post-install support so your home stays comfortable in every season.
Evaporative Air Conditioning Repairs & Installations
Evaporative cooling is a favourite in many Adelaide suburbs thanks to its low running costs and natural, fresh airflow. But like all systems, it needs proper installation and regular care to work at its best.
We install new evaporative systems, replace old or rusted units, and diagnose and repair faults such as:
- Weak or warm airflow
- Leaking roof units
- Pump or motor failure
- Blocked pads
- Unpleasant smells
We ensure your evaporative system runs efficiently, safely, and reliably — especially when the summer heat is at its worst.
Wall Split System Installations
Split systems are one of the most popular heating and cooling options in Adelaide — and for good reason. They’re efficient, quiet, cost-effective, and perfect for individual rooms or open-plan spaces.
Whether you’re upgrading an old unit or installing one for the first time, we handle everything from sizing and planning to installation and clean-up.
We work with all major brands and ensure your system is installed safely, neatly, and to manufacturer standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question?
We’ve got answers!
Find answers to common questions below, or or get in touch if you have a query that hasn’t been answered.
Do you install both split systems and ducted air conditioners?
Yes! Our licensed technicians install, repair, and service all types of air conditioning systems across Adelaide — including split systems, ducted reverse cycle, and evaporative cooling.
How can I improve the efficiency of my system?
Regular servicing, cleaning filters, sealing drafts, and using a smart thermostat all help reduce energy use.
My air conditioner smells bad — what’s wrong?
It could be mould, dust, or blocked filters. A professional clean and service usually clears it up right away.
What types of home air conditioners are there?
The main types are:
- Split system: One indoor unit + one outdoor compressor (most common).
- Ducted system: Cooled air distributed through ceiling or floor ducts.
- Window/wall unit: Compact all-in-one system for a single room.
- Portable AC: Freestanding unit that vents through a window.
- Evaporative cooler: Uses water evaporation (best for dry climates).
Should I get my AC serviced?
Yes — once a year (ideally before summer). A technician will check refrigerant levels, clean coils, and test performance.
Can I clean the outdoor unit myself?
Yes, gently clear leaves and dust from around the condenser coils. Turn off power before cleaning.
My AC is running but not cooling — why?
Possible reasons:
- Dirty filters or coils.
- Low refrigerant.
- Faulty thermostat sensor.
- Blocked outdoor unit.
How do I choose the right size AC?
Rough guide:
- Small room (10–20 m²): 2–3 kW
- Medium (20–40 m²): 3.5–5 kW
- Large (40–60 m²): 6–8 kW
A professional should do a load calculation for best accuracy.
How long does an AC last?
Typically 10–15 years with regular maintenance.
Is inverter AC worth it?
Yes — inverter systems adjust power smoothly, use less energy, and maintain steadier temperatures.
