Web design for air conditioning, with the licences on show

A buyer wants to know you can legally handle the refrigerant, and a caller in a heatwave wants the quickest way to reach you.

Three numbers a buyer can ask to see

Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC), with NSW Fair Trading and the QBCC

Handling fluorocarbon refrigerant in Australia needs a refrigerant handling licence. Businesses that hold a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation must show their RTA number, which starts with AU, in any advertising for refrigeration and air conditioning services and on quotes, invoices and receipts. NSW also requires the state licence number in advertising, and Queensland requires a licence for mechanical services work at any value.

The RTA number and the state licence sit in the header or footer of every page and on the quote form confirmation. Our price guide states them beside the install price, so a customer can read the number off the page.

ARC fact sheet

Three visitors with different clocks

The site has to let each one do the next thing quickly.

Unit has failed in a heatwave
Now
A call button at the top, your hours, and a plain line about when you can attend. A form-first path if the phone is busy.
Chosen a unit, wants it fitted
Days to weeks
The brands you fit, what an install includes, and a price guide with the pipe run and electrical work stated.
Weighing a ducted system
Weeks
A page on how a ducted job is quoted, with photos of your own installs and the licences behind them.
Wants to fit it themselves
Planned
A direct answer that refrigerant work needs a licence, and a link to your install service.

Show the right licence for the state

Local

The ARC licence is national, but NSW, Queensland and Victoria run their own refrigeration and air conditioning licences, and South Australia does for installation. The site names the one that applies where you work.

  • A service area list that matches the Business Profile
  • State licence wording on each service area page
  • A summer banner that can be switched on for a heatwave and off after
  • Opening hours that match when the phone is really answered

What the site is for

An air conditioning site is read in two moods. In one the customer has a quote in front of them and is checking you. In the other the unit has stopped and the house is hot.

The first customer looks for proof. We put the licence block where it cannot be missed and add your own photos of finished installs, with the brand and the type of wall or roof space. The second customer needs a number to ring, so it sits at the top of every page with your hours.

A page for each brand, a page for ducted systems and one for servicing follow. A commercial page sits apart from the home pages because facilities managers ask different questions.

Service sites we have built

We have not built an air conditioning site. Wollongong Service Company repairs appliances, not air conditioners, and Avalanche Pest Control is a pest controller. They show how we build brand pages, urgent contact and licence detail. They are not air conditioning results.

Web design for air conditioning businesses: your questions

Where does the RTA number go on the site?
In the header or footer of every page, and beside the install and repair services. The ARC says it must be in advertising for refrigeration and air conditioning services, and a website selling those services is advertising.
How do you handle the heatwave?
A banner sits in the template and can be turned on when the weather turns. It tells callers your response time and points them to the form when the phone is engaged. When the heat passes, it is switched off.
Do I need a page for each brand?
For the brands you fit and repair. Each page names the models you handle and what the job involves. A brand you are not set up for stays off the site.
What does the install price guide say?
It lists the pipe run, bracket, electrical work and removal of the old unit, and gives a range that covers them. The ACCC says a part price needs the total shown as well, so the page shows the total.
Can the site answer a buyer who wants to install it themselves?
Yes. A short answer says the refrigerant work needs a licence, and offers a quote for the full install. That sets you apart from retail kits.
What does the quote form ask?
A name, a phone number or an email, and a comment. The comment prompts for the room size and the brand. A longer form loses people on a phone.
Should I show customer reviews?
Genuine ones only. The ACCC says fake or known-fake reviews breach the law, so we never write a testimonial for you.
