Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove and dispose of my air conditioner by myself?
We do not recommend attempting to remove and dispose of your air conditioner by yourself as this process is not as simple as unplugging and hauling it away. You must legally recover refrigerants and handle electrical connections safely. Incorrect removal comes with serious risks including refrigerant leaks as well as environmental damage and fines. By hiring a licensed technician to disconnect and ensure your old unit is drained, dismantled and 1300rubbish can take to an EPA-approved facility for you.

It includes removing the items from your property (we don’t disconnect the appliances) safely remove it from your property, tidy up any mess, and take it to an approved recycling centre so that it is properly disposed of.
What happens to my old air conditioner after removal?
After we remove your old air conditioner, we transport it straight to an EPA-approved recycling facility. There, the unit is dismantled and sorted. Metals, plastics, glass and electronic parts all get recycled. This ensures proper, environmentally friendly air conditioner disposal.
