Thermostat Installation & Repairs in Melbourne

A faulty controller can make a working system seem broken. We check your thermostat, confirm what's compatible with your system, and repair or replace it.

Overview

Thermostat installation & repairs for your home

Airmax installs and repairs thermostats and wall controllers for air conditioning and reverse-cycle heating in Melbourne homes. We check compatibility with your system first, then fit a matching or upgraded control and set it up.

We work across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Every job starts with a written quote.

Faulty readings, unresponsive controls and scheduling problems

Controller faults look like a range of problems: a blank or flickering screen, buttons that don't respond, a temperature reading that doesn't match the room, timers that don't run, or zones that won't turn on.

Compatibility with your system

Not every thermostat works with every system. Many ducted and split systems need the manufacturer's own controller or an approved accessory. We check the make and model of your system before recommending a replacement.

Standard and smart control options

Where your system supports it, you may be able to add Wi-Fi or app control, or a controller with better scheduling and zoning. Where it doesn't, a like-for-like replacement keeps the system working as it should. We'll tell you which options suit your system.

Installation, set-up and handover

We fit the controller, connect it to the system, and set it up with your preferred temperatures, schedules and zones. Then we show you how to use it.

When the problem isn't the thermostat

Sometimes a controller fault is a symptom of a problem in the unit, such as a failed board or sensor. If that's the case, we'll explain and quote the repair. See air conditioning repairs and heating repairs.

FAQ

Common questions

More answers on our FAQ page.

Will a smart thermostat work with my system?

It depends on the make and model. Some systems support the manufacturer's Wi-Fi controller or adaptor; others don't. We'll check before recommending one.

Should I repair or replace my existing control?

If the controller is faulty and a compatible replacement is available, replacing it is usually simpler than repairing it. If the fault is in the system rather than the controller, we'll repair the system instead.
