They are definitely not the cheapest option in the Gold Coast-based market; however they offer good quality products, the technical knowhow and a good solid customer service level.

Air-Care Air Conditioning pricing is however a little inflexible, with not a lot of beneficial options. Air-Care Air Conditioning has no formal financing plan or option for their customers. Price matching of competitor quotes is considered on a case to case basis and is at the discretion of the Air-Care Air Conditioning management.
