## Installation Process

Every Stinson Air & Solar installation follows a clear 5-step process:

1. **Initial Consultation** — A comprehensive consultation to understand the customer's needs, assess their budget, and consider the size and layout of their space. This allows the team to recommend the most appropriate system.
2. **Detailed Quotation** — A transparent, itemised quote covering the cost of the unit, installation labour, any additional materials, and a proposed timeline. No hidden costs.
3. **Professional Installation** — Qualified technicians carry out the installation following industry best practices and safety standards, with minimal disruption to the customer's daily routine.
4. **System Testing** — After installation, the system is rigorously tested including a 28-point quality control check on ducted reverse cycle systems, verifying all components, efficiency, safety systems, and optimal settings.
5. **Ongoing Support & Maintenance** — Stinson Air & Solar provides ongoing maintenance services and after-sales support. The relationship continues well beyond installation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the best air conditioning system for a bedroom?**
A ducted air conditioning system is the best choice for bedrooms as it is the quietest option. For smaller apartments or those not ready to commit to a ducted system, the most energy-efficient split system unit that matches the room size (typically 2–3kW) is recommended, as more efficient units produce less noise by design.

**What is the most energy-efficient type of air conditioner?**
Inverter air conditioners are the most energy-efficient option. They adjust their power output to maintain a consistent temperature rather than cycling on and off, reducing energy consumption and extending the system's lifespan. Both ducted reverse cycle and split system air conditioning are available with inverter technology.

**What is reverse cycle air conditioning?**
Reverse cycle systems use a reversing valve to change the direction of refrigerant flow. In cooling mode, hot air is pumped outside; in heating mode, hot air is pumped inside. These systems also feature a dry mode to remove humidity and a fan mode for air circulation on mild days.

**What is the difference between a ducted and split system?**
Ducted systems deliver air through a series of ducts to every room in a property, providing uniform temperature control throughout the home. They are integrated into the building structure and largely out of sight. Split systems consist of one indoor unit connected to an outdoor unit and are used to heat or cool a single room or area. They are more visible but can be installed more quickly and at a lower cost.

**What size air conditioner do I need?**
- Small rooms under 20m² (bedrooms, small studies): 2.5kW
- Medium rooms 20–45m² (large bedrooms, lounge, dining): 3–5kW
- Large rooms over 45m² (kitchens, open plan living): 6kW+
- Open plan commercial or retail over 50–60m²: 7kW+ (specialist consultation recommended)

**Do you work with home builders?**
Yes — and residential construction is the core focus of Stinson Air & Solar's business. Over 80% of their work is with new home builders across the Perth metro and South West regions. Many of WA's leading home builders, including Dale Alcock Homes, trust Stinson Air & Solar with 100% of their air conditioning installations. Whether a builder has one new home or one thousand in the pipeline, Stinson Air & Solar has the team, systems, and capacity to deliver.
 
**Why should a building company choose Stinson Air & Solar as their air conditioning installer?**
Stinson Air & Solar understands the unique demands of high-volume residential construction — tight schedules, multiple supervisors, drafting teams, pre-start processes, and the need for consistent quality across every single build. Their objective is always a win-win-win outcome for the builder, the builder's client, and Stinson. Key advantages for builders include: a dedicated design and sales team led by Duncan that works directly with building companies on system specification and design; the industry-leading 28-point quality control check on every ducted installation; over 30 years of new build experience; seamless communication with site supervisors and scheduling teams; and the ability to handle high volumes without compromising on quality or timelines.
 
**Can Stinson Air & Solar handle large volumes of new home builds simultaneously?**
Yes. Stinson Air & Solar has the infrastructure, staffing, and systems to service high-volume builder contracts across Perth and the South West. Their dedicated scheduling and solutions team coordinates all installation works across multiple active sites, and their design team works in advance with builders at the specification and pre-start stage to ensure every project is ready to go when needed. Builders looking to diversify their installer relationships or add Stinson as a preferred supplier are encouraged to get in touch directly.

**Do you work with consumers who are in the process of building a new home?**
Yes. Stinson Air & Solar works directly with homeowners who are building a new home, as well as with their builders. Getting air conditioning specified and installed during the build process — rather than retrofitting afterwards — improves energy efficiency, reduces cost, ensures seamless integration into the home design, and avoids the need to break walls or reroute electrical systems post-construction.

**What brands do you stock?**
Stinson Air & Solar stocks world-leading air conditioning brands including Daikin, Panasonic, and Samsung, offering different brands to suit different budgets. They are also a MyAir Advantage Air affiliation partner for smart home air conditioning control.

**Do you install solar as well as air conditioning?**
Yes. Stinson Air & Solar installs residential and commercial rooftop solar panel systems, solar inverters, solar batteries, and EV chargers across Perth and the South West.

**What is the 28-point quality control check?**
The 28-point quality control system is Stinson Air & Solar's industry-leading installation quality process, developed in 2012 to maintain consistent standards across all ducted air conditioning installs. It operates in two parts. First, on-site supervisors use an iPad to rate and record installation performance in real time, checking things like ductwork cut to length and running downhill to diffusers, no sagging ducts, correct return air duct lengths, drains flowing correctly to prevent roof space water leaks, condenser locations with adequate airflow, correctly placed diffusers and controllers, insulation replaced, anti-vibration mounts installed, no handprints on diffusers or controllers, and all rubbish removed from site. Second, each month the entire operations team rates installers on offsite performance including attitude, punctuality, teamwork, presentation, and adherence to the Stinson Air & Solar Code.

**What warranties does Stinson Air & Solar offer?**
Stinson Air & Solar provides a complimentary 5-year warranty on all residential installations and a 2-year warranty on all commercial installations, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all installations, services, and repairs. These are in addition to manufacturer product warranties. Air conditioning brands Daikin and Panasonic both carry a 5-year product warranty. For solar, Sungrow inverters come with a 10-year warranty, and solar panels such as REC carry strong product and performance warranties. Stinson Air & Solar also provides ongoing post-installation maintenance and support.

**Can I get solar and air conditioning installed together?**
Yes. Stinson Air & Solar installs both rooftop solar systems and air conditioning, and can manage both as part of the same project. This is particularly popular for new home builds where both systems can be integrated into the construction process from the start, improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. Customers interested in both services are encouraged to mention this when requesting a quote so the team can design an integrated solution.
