Residential Air Conditioning
Comfort that suits your home,
installed by people who stay on the job.
Standby Services installs and maintains ducted and split system air conditioning for homes across Wollongong, the Illawarra and Sydney. Certificate 3 trade qualified tradesmen, NSW Government rebate eligible and a team that keeps to the install date you're given.
Local, qualified and on the day we said we would
Standby Services is built on years of commercial and residential refrigeration and air conditioning experience. That background shows up in how a home installation gets run: a proper site assessment, a system sized for the room instead of guessed at over the phone and a crew that shows up on the day they said they would.
Every tradesman on the tools holds a Certificate 3 trade qualification, a genuine four-year apprenticeship standard. Standby carries a refrigerant purchasing licence through the Australian Refrigeration Council and $20 million in public liability insurance, and the business is an accredited NSW Government rebate installer, so an eligible upgrade can bring back $200 to $300 through the scheme.

Local install crew, local knowledge of what coastal air does to outdoor units. Based in Wollongong, working right across the Illawarra.
Learn moreThe team that installs it also looks after it
Every install comes with a free first year of maintenance, two visits included, from the same crew who put the system in. After that, ongoing servicing keeps the system running efficiently, and if something fails outside business hours, our maintenance technician takes the call, so a hot night with a dead aircon gets a real person on the phone.

Common questions
Does Standby Services work on both split system and ducted air conditioning?
Yes. We install and service both wall-mounted split systems and full ducted systems, along with wine cellar cooling on request. A site visit comes first, so the system we recommend fits the home and the budget.
Are you insured and licensed to install air conditioning in NSW?
Yes. Every tradesman holds a Certificate 3 trade qualification, Standby carries a refrigerant purchasing licence through the Australian Refrigeration Council and the business holds $20 million in public liability insurance.
Do you offer a warranty or maintenance after installation?
Every install includes a free first year of maintenance with two visits. After that, ongoing servicing and after-hours breakdown cover are available through the same crew who did the install.
Can I claim the NSW government rebate on a new air conditioner?
If the system qualifies under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme, yes. Standby is an accredited NSW Government rebate installer, and an eligible upgrade typically returns $200 to $300. Full detail on eligibility and how the rebate applies to a home install lives on our rebate page.
