Fantastic staff. Excellent help. They surveyed the area and cam up with the best way to go about installing the AirCon. All are very helpful. Great service, delivery, installation and price!

 Follow-up  · Survey process was to come and find the appropriate, safe and best way to access the roof, and also the safest way to remove the old system. Cost was way cheaper than I expected. Even upgraded to a better system. Installation was easy on the day. No mess left behind. All working great.

Very disappointing service – not as promised I had a very disappointing experience with Ideal Air Melbourne. At the time of booking, I was promised a thorough cleaning of the air conditioner during the initial call-out. However, when the technician attended, they stayed on site for around 10 minutes, did no cleaning at all, and simply stated… Read more

that the fan motor needed to be replaced. No attempt was made to clean the unit, despite this being the service initially discussed.

Despite no service being delivered, I was still charged the full $275 call-out fee. After questioning this, the company relied on their service call policy, even though the promised work was not carried out.

They are also now claiming that the indoor unit was not accessible, which is simply not true. There is a manhole cut access in the ceiling, and another technician has since attended and accessed the same unit without any issue. This claim appears to be an excuse rather than a genuine access problem.

To make matters worse, their service document incorrectly states that my air conditioning unit is 15 years old, which is false. The unit was installed in 2020 and is only about 6 years old, raising concerns about the accuracy of their inspection and reporting.

I also noticed a clear change in communication: before I paid the call-out fee, the company was very friendly and responsive. After payment, communication became poor, and they have been unwilling to acknowledge that the initial service they promised was never provided.

Overall, I paid a significant fee for virtually no work, incorrect information, and frustrating follow-up. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company.

Jozsef arrived exactly on time and solved the aircon problem and gave a general service and advice. He was very polite and cleaned up where necessary. I highly recommend Ideal Air and will use them again. Top marks too to Jackie on reception.

I have been a regular customer for over ten years and the reasons I keep using Ideal Air are (a) easy to book a service (b) staff are prompt and (c) have very good product knowledge.

Not great – The technician sent out was knowledgeable and personable, my issue is not with him. However, only 1 out of my 3 AC units were looked at as the other 2 were deemed too high on the roof from a safety perspective. I did mention that it's a double storey house when booking on the phone so not sure why they didn't send 2 technicians or suggest an… Read more

alternate solution in advance. I've had no follow up re cost/ options for fixing the AC that was inspected or trying to service the other 2 units. Overall felt like a waste of money and time with still no solution.

Urgent Request Ignored: Disappointing Customer Service Experience – We recently had a technician inspect one of the units in the tenants’ area, as we weren’t sure which one needed attention. While he was conducting the inspection, I confirmed with my boss that this was not the unit that required fixing. We then requested the technician to inspect the correct unit instead. However, the technician refused, stating… Read more

that his job was only to check one unit. We even offered to pay extra or cancel the originally scheduled inspection, emphasizing that the issue was very urgent, but he still declined.

Although the technician was not at fault and followed the original request, we believe it’s important to pay closer attention to customer needs, especially in urgent situations like this. Sometimes, adapting to the situation and making adjustments can make a significant difference in customer satisfaction.

BEWARE of the Cost – BEWARE $275.00 to come & say its broken... BUT hey, I will send a really long email later telling you why it's broken .. I do not need a written explanation and a detailed new quote sent. Even that is not worth $275.00 A complete rip off. They are very nice on the phone with we will show up & be on time etc Then they sting you on the day. I don't… Read more

not know what the technician is doing for the 30 mins but then they just charge more for the "expertise!!!!" Look elsewhere..

Came promptly when 2 year old unit stopped working, found the problem quickly, and reinstated it. Should be fine for years now it seems. Hope so. I would recommend Ideal Air if you have any installs you want, or for efficient service with a smile.

Extremely professional and easy to deal with from initial enquiry to final invoice. During the service visit Luke (technician) kept us informed with easy to understand terms relating to our heating problem. Would definitely recommend Ideal Air.

I rang them to organise a part for my fan unit that was missing and the service technician had already put it on order. The liaison between technician and office staff is very good. Everyone I have dealt with at the company is professional well trained and courteous.

Great service and support – They have always been good at finding solutions for more challenging locations. They were also able to find an appropriate solution for my neighbour, when everyone else had given up. My installation had a little hiccup, which can happen ..... most importantly though when it raised its head 3 years later, they still came out and fixed it properly, without any fuss and made it right. Standing by their work, deserves commendation. Show reply
