Commercial HVAC
What commercial air conditioning work does Frost Solutions do?
We design, supply, install and maintain air conditioning for low-rise and mid-rise commercial projects and business premises across the Gold Coast. That covers new buildings and fit-outs, replacing old plant, routine maintenance and breakdown repairs, with the electrical side handled by our own licensed electricians.
Our team of technicians, installers and electricians takes a job from design to commissioning and then looks after it. Having one company responsible for the design, the install and the ongoing servicing makes it simpler for owners, tenants and property managers to know who to call.
We are licensed with the QBCC (15409367) and hold an ARCtick refrigerant trading authorisation (AU064493). Every job is done by Frost Solutions staff; we do not use subcontractors.
Who we work for
Which businesses and buildings do you install commercial air conditioning for?
Most of our commercial work is in smaller and medium buildings: shops, offices, clinics, childcare centres, gyms, schools, warehouses and showrooms. If the building has a few rooms to cool or a large open space, and needs a system designed around how it is used, it is the kind of job we quote on.
- Shopping centres and retail tenancies
- Office precincts and individual offices
- Medical and allied health clinics
- Childcare centres
- Gyms and fitness studios
- School classrooms, administration and student areas
- Low-rise and mid-rise developments
- Factories, warehouses and workshops
- Retail and showroom fit-outs
Every premises is different. A clinic needs quiet, even temperatures in small consult rooms; a gym needs to shift a lot of heat at peak times; a warehouse may only need the office and staff areas cooled. We design around the use, the hours and the layout rather than offering one standard package.
Design and delivery
How do you deliver a commercial air conditioning project?
We start with the plans and the brief, review the design and the specified equipment, then price it as an estimate or a full tender. Once we are engaged we work alongside your builder, architect and project manager, install to the program, commission the system and hand it over with the information you need to run it.
-
Brief and plans
You send the drawings, scope and program. We ask about hours of use, occupancy and any heat-producing equipment.
-
Design and material review
We check the system selection, unit positions, pipe runs and electrical needs, and suggest changes where they make sense.
-
Install to the program
Our technicians and electricians install in stages to suit the build, coordinating with the other trades on site.
-
Commission and maintain
We test and commission the system, then offer routine checks and preventative maintenance to keep it running.
A design and material review is often where a project's cost is settled. Choosing the right system type, sizing units to the real load and keeping pipe and duct runs short all affect the price and the running cost, so we look at them before the job is locked in. On existing buildings we can also assess the current plant and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
System types
Which commercial air conditioning systems do you install?
The system depends on the ceiling, the space available for outdoor units and how many areas need separate control. Ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-head systems cover most small commercial premises; VRV and package units suit larger buildings. We recommend the type after looking at the plans or the site.
Ceiling cassettes
Flush in a suspended ceiling, throwing air four ways. Common in shops, clinics and offices.
Learn moreSuspended cassettes
Hung under the slab where there is no ceiling space, such as showrooms and warehouses.
Learn moreDucted systems
Hidden units with outlets in each room, suited to fit-outs with several rooms.
Learn moreMulti-head systems
Several indoor units on one outdoor unit where plant space is tight.
Learn moreVRV systems
Many indoor units on a shared refrigerant system for larger buildings.
Learn morePackage units
All components in one outdoor cabinet, ducted into the building.

After installation
Do you maintain and repair commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We provide routine checks and preventative maintenance for commercial systems, and attend breakdowns during our business hours. Regular servicing keeps filters, coils and drains clean, catches worn parts before they fail and helps keep manufacturer warranties valid.
On the coast, salt air is hard on outdoor units on rooftops and exposed walls. We can apply a 3-coat corrosion protection treatment to new outdoor units before they are installed, which helps protect the panels and circuit board from salt and water.
Our phones are answered Monday to Friday 7am–4pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am–4pm. Call 1300 101 100 to book a service or report a fault.

I have just had a total of 5 aircons fitted up by the boys at Frost. 4x brand new installs to each bedroom, and a new replacement for the lounge. I cannot fault anything. Their communication, punctuality, price and workmanship have all been superb throughout the entire process. Trouble and stress free. Its easy to see why they have so many 5star reviews. True professionals. Thanks again.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Frost Solutions! I recently had a ducted air-conditioning system installed and honestly, from the very first conversation through to the finished installation, the whole process was seamless. ... The installation itself was done to a really high standard, the team worked efficiently and left everything clean and tidy. ... Great people, great communication, great workmanship and a great result.

Couldn't recommend Frost Solutions highly enough. We recently had them install a 16kW Daikin ducted system with 8 outlets, 6 independent zones, AirTouch 5, multiple upgrades and a 5 year service plan. ... Another big positive is that Frost Solutions have their own electrical team as part of the installation. ... the entire experience was seamless.

Frost Solutions installed ducted air conditioning in my home today and I couldn't be happier. The team were professional, friendly, punctual, and down to earth. ... left the house spotless ... I also really appreciated the follow-up call from the office later in the day to check I was completely satisfied ... They're a local business with local staff, and the value was extremely competitive for the quality of service and workmanship provided.

From my initial phone call to the pre-check and installation, all correspondence and actions were clear and understandable (for someone who is non tech savvy).. Shout out to Paul (Senior Technician) ... He was also clear when showing me how to use the air-con, and info on future servicing and cleaning when needed. Thanks Frost Solutions Team, I highly recommend you to anyone needing a new aircon :)

Wow! Frost Solutions is possibly the best all round company I've worked with for a long time. The admin staff, sales and tradesmen-installers were all very polite, efficient and easy to communicate with. From the time I phoned to organise a quote to the full install was only an about a week ...
