About Us
About Airdale Air Conditioning – Wollongong's Local Air Con Specialists
Airdale Air Conditioning is a family-owned air conditioning business based in Wollongong, founded in 2013, by qualified refrigeration and air conditioning technician Dale Sullivan. We install, service and repair split, multi-split and ducted systems for homes and businesses across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the Shoalhaven, and we've installed more than 1,000 systems across the Illawarra.
How Airdale started
Dale Sullivan learned the trade the traditional way, through a full refrigeration and air conditioning apprenticeship. After more than a decade working on residential and commercial systems, he started Airdale in 2013 with a simple idea: do the job properly, charge a fair price, and still be there after the install.
"The main thing we offer at Airdale is after-sales service, as well as a professional approach and competitive rates." – Dale Sullivan, founder
That focus on follow-up is still how we work. Today, Dale brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience to every job, and he's still on the tools .
