Air Conditioning Maroubra Just Moved In? Check What You Inherited
Maroubra has a steady flow of new owners and tenants, from family homes back from the beach to units around Maroubra Junction. Many move in with an air conditioner already on the wall and no idea how old it is or when it was last serviced.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Maroubra homes often comes with the property. A system you did not choose may be undersized, near the end of its life or full of salt and dust from years without a service. A professional check tells you how it is performing, what it needs and whether it is worth keeping. Alpha & Omega has looked after Sydney systems since 1989 and will give you a straight answer.

Maroubra FAQs
Maroubra Questions From New Owners
How do I know how old my inherited air conditioner is?
The model and serial numbers on the indoor and outdoor units usually tell us. We can identify it during a check.
Should I service an air conditioner I have just inherited?
Yes. Unless you have proof of a recent service, a clean and check gives you a fresh starting point and reveals any hidden issues.
What is R22, and why does it matter?
R22 is an older refrigerant that has been phased out. Systems using it are expensive to recharge, so major repairs are often not worth it.
My inherited system has no remote. Can you help?
Often, yes. We can identify the model and advise on a compatible replacement remote or controller.
Does the warranty transfer with the house?
Manufacturer warranties vary, so check the paperwork. Our own workmanship warranty applies to the person who engaged us.
