Your Local Air Conditioning Supply and Install Experts in Caloundra
At Wahoo Air Conditioning, we are your trusted local partners for keeping Caloundra homes and businesses comfortable all year round.
From beachfront apartments along The Esplanade to family homes in Aura and Currimundi, we provide expert air conditioning installation, servicing, and repairs. We’re not just a Brisbane company that drives up the highway; we’re based right here, and we understand the unique coastal climate.
Our solutions aren’t just about cooling. They’re about managing our high humidity, preventing mould, and protecting your valuable air conditioner from corrosive salt air.
Lower Energy Bills
Efficient systems consume less power, translating to noticeable savings on electricity. With the right setup, you can reduce your home’s energy consumption while enjoying consistent comfort.
Improved Air Quality
Modern air conditioning systems help filter out dust, pollen, and pollutants, contributing to healthier indoor environments. This is particularly important for Hawthorne homes near the Brisbane River, where outdoor allergens can be more prevalent.
Longer System Lifespan
Proper installation and regular maintenance ensure your system performs optimally for years, reducing the need for costly replacements.
Quiet Comfort
Today’s air conditioning systems are designed to operate quietly, making them perfect for maintaining peace in Hawthorne’s tranquil neighborhoods.
Understanding Caloundra’s Climate and Your Air Con Needs
Living in beautiful Caloundra is a dream, but it comes with specific challenges for an air conditioner. Your unit is in a constant battle with two main things: humidity and salt.
High Humidity & Mould
Our sticky, humid air is the number one cause of that musty, “damp” smell from your aircon. This is a sign of mould and bacteria growing deep inside the unit. We specialise in deep-cleaning services that safely flush this build-up out, ensuring the air you breathe is healthy.
Corrosive Salt Air
The salty breeze we love, whether we’re at Kings Beach or Moffat Beach, is the worst enemy of your outdoor unit. It can accelerate rust and corrosion, drastically shortening your system’s life. We know which anti-corrosion models to recommend and can apply protective treatments to your existing unit.
Year-Round Operation
We use our air conditioners for cooling on hot summer days and for heating or dehumidifying on mild winter nights. This year-round use means your system needs to be professionally serviced more regularly than a unit in an inland suburb.
Choosing the Right Air Conditioning System in Caloundra
Selecting the right air conditioning system can be overwhelming, but Wahoo Airconditioning is here to help you make an informed decision. Here are some key factors to consider:
Home Size and Layout: The size and layout of your home will determine the cooling capacity you need and whether a split system or ducted system is more suitable. Our experts can assess your property and recommend the best option for your needs.
Lifestyle and Budget: Consider your lifestyle and budget when choosing an air conditioning system. Do you need advanced features like Wi-Fi control and zoning? Are you looking for the most energy-efficient option? We can help you find a system that meets your needs and budget.
Specific Needs: If you have specific requirements, such as allergies or noise sensitivity, let us know. We can recommend systems with advanced filtration, quiet operation, or other features to address your individual needs.

New Air Conditioner Installation
Building a new home in the growing Aura estate? Or perhaps you’re replacing an old, noisy unit in your Golden Beach apartment? We can help you choose and install the perfect system. We provide free, no-obligation quotes and, as local installers, we know which brands (like Daikin and Mitsubishi) are best for handling our coastal conditions.
Aircon Servicing & Deep Cleaning
How often should you service your aircon in Caloundra? We recommend a full, professional deep clean at least once every 12 months. Our “hydro-clean” service isn’t just a quick filter wipe. It’s a comprehensive clean that flushes out all the hidden mould and grime, clears the drains (to prevent leaks), and checks your outdoor unit for rust and salt damage.
Aircon Repairs (Including Emergency)
If your aircon is leaking water, blowing hot air, or has just stopped working, we can help. A broken-down aircon on a 35-degree day is an emergency. Our local Caloundra technicians can provide same-day service for most breakdowns. We are honest and upfront about our call-out fees and will always give you a fixed quote for the repair before we start.
We know you have plenty of choices for air conditioning. We’re proud to build our reputation on trust, quality, and genuinely local service.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does it cost to install a split system in Caloundra?
While every home is different, a standard back-to-back installation for a small split system in a Caloundra home typically starts around $800. We provide a fixed, free quote on-site so you know the exact cost.
What is the best air conditioner for a home near the beach in Caloundra?
We highly recommend brands like Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric that offer superior anti-corrosion coatings (“Blue Fin”) on their outdoor units. This is the most important feature for a long life in our salty coastal air.
Are there council rules for installing my aircon in an apartment?
Yes. The Sunshine Coast Council has rules about noise and the placement of outdoor units, especially in apartments and on small blocks (like around Bulcock Beach or Kings Beach). We handle all of this for you and ensure your installation is 100% compliant with council and body corporate rules.
Do you offer aftercare services?
Yes! We provide regular maintenance, filter cleaning, and repairs to keep your system running at peak efficiency. Our team ensures your investment lasts for years to come.
