A long process such as getting your air conditioning system repaired or serviced needs real professional help. You can check in on a licenced professional to really provide you with the quality service you need. It's illegal for tradesmen to service fluorocarbon refrigerant gases without a licence issued by the Australian Refrigeration Council.
There are more licence types you will need to know:
An ARC Refrigerant License
This is a national environment-based license for the use of fluorocarbon refrigerants. There are two types of licences issued by the Australian Refrigeration Council. Professional air conditioning installers should hold at least one of these licences to be able to operate fully.
There is a kind of air conditioning system that’s over 18kW, which will require the technician to have a full licence. Below are the details of the different licence types:
1. Restricted Split System Air conditioning Installation and Decommissioning (Splits) License

a) Work with a single head split system air conditioner of less than 18kW cooling capacity
b) Perform installation
c) Running the pipework of a single head split system air conditioner
