Completely mislead when you book in. I specfically asked if the call out fee included inspecting the airconditoning unit and then repair onsite. The answer was yes if you accept the quote. This is not the case, the person who came out, although nice, is not an airconditioner specialist, they take photos go sit in van and come back with a $3k quote… Read more
for a GOLD SERVICE Clean... no diagnostics no idea what the problem is. So you basically pay $140 for a quote. They then send someone back out to do the Clean and dont guarantee the unit will work... Sadly this is my error as I didnt do reasearch like I would normall.
SCAM - DO NOT USE - LOOK AT THE OTHER THREADS ABOUT THEM – SCAM!!!!!! Charge you a call out fee of $140 to arrive but they don't do any diagnostics, they just tell you its going to be $6,000 to repair - go look at the reddit threads about them.
SCAM ! – SCAMMERS ! stay away please. Fast booking & same day attendance; but came late at 09.15pm. The booking admin lady at booking desk said $150 is for technician visit & diagnose the issue which seemed reasonable . She added the technician will give an on-site quote after analysing the diagnosis .Then it will be our decision to proceed or not. However… Read more
the technician did not touch or Scan anything but some talking lasted 2-3 mts. He said the quote would be approx more than $2000 to fix . ?How come people can rob in plain sight. Totally misleading company. I wouldn't give even 1 star.

overpriced! Scam! Unaustralian – Heres the situation. Got charged $140 call out fee to come and have a look at our broken air conditioner. Gentleman was nice then he said to inspect and clean filters on the unit (labour) it would cost is $1849 without any parts. Are you kidding me? Scam! Charging this is unAustralian and just extorting good people for overpriced work. Stay away from this company
FM great service – Fraser was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Explained everything well and great customer service
Air conditioning replacement – Fm was very nice, is very prompt and completed works professionally all other works attending was very kind Show reply
BEWARE!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY – They charge you $141.90 call out fee - that is how they make their money. It doesn’t matter what is wrong with your air conditioner - they are not interested in the work, because they have already got your money. All they offer is a fixed price rejuvenation ($1239.90) that is not guaranteed to fix your air conditioner. I wish someone had pre… Read more
warned me about this company. I am only $141.90 out of pocket. Companies like Metropolitan are making it hard to find and trust genuine hardworking tradies. Do not give this company your money.

Negative reviews
Total scam and potential ripoff – Fast booking and same day arrival but quite late. The $150 booking fee seemed okay but to fix the error in the indoor coil Actron unit was $2000 plus parts. He said he cannot just do I repair but must do a service as well. Total scam total ripoff. Cannot believe we still have companies like this.
CON SITE – DO NOT USE THIS IS A CON SITE This company is nothing but thieves! Do not use! Charged $145 call out fee, then played possum about the issue and wanted to charge $1800 to do a “diagnostic test”, and then charge further to order parts and repair. Absolute con artist and thieves. Had a honest trade attend who charged $200 call out fee, located the… Read more
issue in 10minutes and ordered the part repaired for another $300.
This company prays on the vulnerable and those in urgent need.
Complaint sent to ACCC, numerous complaints of same nature.

Misleading Scammers! – I approachedthis company with an error code CH62 on my LG system, that states it requires a problem from the motherboard to be fixed. I was told upon arrival for the upfront fee quote, that this system requires a rejuvenation of the system to be cleaned. After doing the job which we paid over $2000.00, the tech then said, we require the control… Read more
panel to be fixed further as he found a fault. The same purpose that we got them out to fix. 6 weeks later the same error code has come back and the company has tried to inform myself that i signed the quote for the rejuvenation and we wont refund your money, we will offer you $500 back, and $200 discount to replace a part and fix the problem they never fixed. I will be taking civil action against this company and will not stop until justice is served. I see many poor reviews of a very similar nature as it appears this company is of poor standards and misleading its customers.

Misleading company with terrible service - avoid! – BEWARE!!! I had a technician scheduled to look at my aircon, which is not blowing cold air. I was told on the phone most issues are resolved on the spot, and at least I'd get a diagnosis of the problem. I paid a $141 deposit for the callout in advance, expecting that would be the case. My appointment was scheduled between 12pm-3pm, yet I was… Read more
made to wait until 6.30 pm - meaning I was stuck waiting hours on end. The technician arrived but didn't know what the issue was, and recommended I get an exorbitant $1000 "revitalisation" - but that that was no guarantee of a fix/diagnosis. So much for the 'fixed price quote'. He also said a new unit would be 6k plus, as well as installation - which a quick look online reveals to be another lie.
What's more they seem to mislead on the website, claiming a 4.8 star rating, when Product Review is 2.5, and Yellow Pages is 4.3 (but looks like they've been posting fake good comments about themselves there). At any rate, this is misleading advertising about the Gold Coast Air Con part of their business.
Under the circumstances I requested a refund for the technician callout which was 3 hours late, did not diagnose the issue or provide a fixed price as mentioned, but was told since the technician came they would not refund.
Extremely late service, extremely high quote, extremely misleading communication - AVOID.
do not use ripoff merchants – I would never use these people again they charged a call out fee of $141.90 which i thought wasn't to bad . they then book you in for a Rejuvenation of your system which they charge $1849.00 (which they lead you to believe will fix the problem) the person that came out was here for less than 2 1/2 hours of which he was on hi phone every time i… Read more
went to see what he was doing. he then came in and told me the system was toast and need replacing as there was no power to loft units, something he would have known in the first hour. he than gave me a quote for a new 17kw system of $33629.00. I have now got quotes for a new 18kw system for less than $12000. customer service don't care they just state that the fee we charge. Avoid at all cost please don't get stung like I did.
Avoid – Took my money for an upfront payment and then 1 week later cancelled on the day they were due (a 37 degree day). Also worth noting that these guys trade under a number of different names. In addition, I'm believe they are just a facilitator, don't actually have any tradies of their own.

FM Air conditioning replacement – FM wonder friendly on time, got my job done straight away late at night
Late, Over Quoted! – Up front payment, then late, quoted $7800 Said he can do it today, I got second quote for $2,800 that’s daylight robbery!
TOTAL SCAM! Promise the world... but don't even show up – Paying upfront caused some red flags but ... 'desperate times' in the heat of Summer and no other reputable Aircon Company could come out for 3 weeks. Bad decision. And now, getting my money back, has proven impossible. They all have Australian accents, so you aren't initially triggered into thinking you are being scammed... but sadly, they have… Read more
no conscience.
Day 1. Initial appointment made. Promised to be out in 2 hours. Day 1. Phone call saying that person has gone home sick. Day 2. Another appointment made in 2 days. Day 3. That appointment had to be moved to 4 days time due to scheduling conflicts. Day 7. Message to say that their person in the area had to go home.
Phoned the Company. I said, "I should have checked with Product Review first. Clearly this is a thing you people do."
The Manager said, "It's just this time of year, these things happen."
I said, "No, all these people on Product Review are saying the same thing. It's not a '' this time of year thing - - it's a pattern. Anyway, if I don't get my refund within 5 days I'll be headed to department of fair trading."
(So, I'll keep you updated....)
Initial Servicing Visit is a complete Waste of Time! – Paid $140 for a technician to come over on the weekend only to tell me to properly diagnose the problem it will cost $1200 for a complete clean, service and fault find process and could not even tell me what the actual problem is or whether the $1200 service and repair would fix the problem. Then i was quoted $6000 for a replacement of a 2.5KW… Read more
back to back split system.
My question is what is the $140 service call out fee for in the first place? Why didn't they just tell me straight away that the service and repair cost is $1200 and not waste my time and $140
24/7 quotes not work – Waited. Arrived late. Guy was friendly. Paid $141 for call out. Have a quote to replace - $25,000 or clean out $2500. Could even move things around to do it next day if I accepted the quote. I think not. 3 bed apartment seriously. Got guys in locally and fixed for $700.
RIP OFFS - DO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS – Firstly I wanted to give zero stars. Charged $949 today and aircon is not working tonight, reckon they can’t come back till tomorrow. We have a constantly beeping aircon, shutting off and on. Bad service, quoted replacing the small bedroom unit for $6500. It’s disgusting that they prey on people at this time!
Update - we had Think Cooling come to look at it and $160 later, all fixed and working well!
FM air con – FM, he did excellent service, friendly, knowlegeble, approachable, on time, infomative,
AC service – BC quick and efficient, did a great job... Highly recommend
