About Us

Refresh Air is a local, family owned and operated business, servicing the Newcastle, Port Stephens, and Hunter region. We specialise in Ducted and Split System Air Conditioning installation, service and repairs, in both residential & commercial properties.

We cover all aspects of air conditioning including sales, planning & design, supply and installation, emergency breakdown, repairs and maintenance.

Our Story

Established in 2017, Refresh Air has rapidly developed into a successful small business in the Newcastle area, all thanks to our amazing network of customers, friends and family and their word of mouth referrals. So thank YOU!


Refresh Air was founded by husband and wife team, David & Emily Liddell, whom pride themselves on excellent customer service, and attention to detail. While David has the experience, skill and tools, to execute quality installs, Emily has the organisational and book-keeping skills to ensure the business runs smoothly. With two young children themselves, David and Emily understand the importance of honest, friendly advice, and affordable air conditioning solutions for your family.


The Liddell family enjoy spending their weekends by their pool, enjoying a craft beer or 2 with friends, or away in their 1980’s Millard Caravan, eating out at local restaurants, or doing DIY home improvements.

Our Philosophy

We believe in providing honest, and genuine advice for all of our customers.
We pride ourselves on high quality installations, attention to detail, and perfection. We are extremely competitively priced. Let us know if you receive a cheaper quote elsewhere, and we will do our very best to beat it!
Our highly skilled and knowledgable tradesmen David will back up all installations with ongoing service, and attend any warranty issues. We are always available to offer support.
David is the man to quote the job, and do the job.

David – Owner/Director

“David and the team did a fantastic job. Good open line of communication in the lead up in terms of arranging times for quotes and for the job. Worked tirelessly in the rain to get our a/c installed on the day promised. Friendly and accommodating to the needs of my toddler’s sleep as well which was a nice touch. Keep up the good work.”

Ty Clayworth

“David installed 3 separate split systems in our house & we couldn’t be happier with the result. Not only does he have exceptional customer service, but he also worked so hard on a ridiculously hot day & got the job done so quickly. He explained the best settings to use for each unit for optimal functioning, & no question or request was ever a hassle. The whole process was so quick & seamless, from quote to job completion. We are so grateful to now be able to sleep comfortably during winter & summer! I recommend David & Refresh Air to all friends & family. Thanks again David!”
