Still Running an Old Air Conditioner? You Could Be Missing Out On Up To $550 Off an Upgrade...

Power bills are already high. An old air conditioner just adds to it.


Outdated systems work harder, run longer, and can use far more energy to achieve the same result, especially in peak summer and winter.

A new energy-efficient system can lower your day-to-day running costs while improving performance and reliability. Right now, eligible NSW homes and businesses may also access up to $550 off through a government incentive, applied upfront in your quote.

With over 20 years of local experience, O’Brien Electrical & Air Conditioning makes the upgrade simple.


We’ll recommend the right system, confirm your eligibility, and handle the install.

Why Old Air Conditioners Cost More?

Older air conditioners are far less efficient than modern systems, especially those installed 10–15 years ago.

They often run longer and work harder just to maintain the same temperature, which means higher power bills without better performance.

Modern energy-efficient systems can reduce running costs by up to 20–50%, while also cooling and heating your home faster and more consistently.

With electricity prices continuing to rise, keeping an outdated system can cost you more every year.

Right now, eligible NSW households and small businesses may also receive up to $550 off a new system through a government incentive, applied upfront in your quote.

Old Vs New Air Conditioners?

Older air conditioners often use outdated technology that runs at full power whenever cooling is needed.

Modern systems use inverter technology that adjusts automatically, using only the power required.

Older Air Conditioners:

✅ Higher electricity use

✅ Less efficient cooling

✅ More breakdowns

✅ Higher running costs

✅ Often out of warranty

Modern Air Conditioners:

✅ Lower running costs

✅ Energy-efficient operation

✅ More reliable performance

✅ Quieter operation

✅ Warranty protection
