At Air Max, we specialise in the supply, installation, and maintenance of water-cooled air conditioning units across Sydney. These high-performance systems are ideal for commercial and high-rise residential buildings where conventional air-cooled units are not feasible due to space constraints or regulatory requirements.
A water-cooled air conditioning system uses water instead of outdoor air to expel heat. These systems are composed of a condensing unit connected to a building’s water supply (often from a cooling tower or main water loop). The result is a quiet, compact, and highly efficient cooling solution that performs exceptionally well in space-limited environments.
Unlike air-cooled units, water-cooled systems do not require bulky external condensers or outdoor units. This makes them ideal for apartment buildings, office towers, and heritage-listed structures.
Water has a higher thermal conductivity than air, meaning it can transfer heat more efficiently. This translates to lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs.
Because water-cooled units are housed indoors and do not rely on outdoor fans, they are quieter and more discreet, making them perfect for sound-sensitive environments such as hotels, medical centres, and libraries.
Being sheltered indoors protects the components from harsh weather, UV exposure, and environmental pollutants, increasing the longevity of the unit.
With Sydney’s skyline packed with high-rises and heritage buildings, there’s often limited room for external units or rooftop installations. Water-cooled air conditioning systems are tailor-made for:
They’re also great for properties in areas with strict council regulations on building façades and rooftop equipment.
At Air Max, we handle every aspect of installation with precision. Our process includes:
We work closely with builders, architects, and property managers to ensure a flawless setup.
We ensure all systems meet NCC (National Construction Code) and Australian Standard AS/NZS 3666 for air handling and hygiene. Our licensed technicians are certified in:
Water-cooled systems require regular maintenance to ensure efficiency and compliance:
Air Max offers scheduled maintenance plans tailored to your system’s size and usage patterns, helping you maximise performance and avoid costly downtime.
If you’re renovating, building, or just looking for a more efficient cooling option, water-cooled air conditioning is worth considering. Let the experienced team at Air Max help you find the perfect solution.

Can I install a water-cooled system in a house?
While technically possible, they’re better suited to larger buildings with access to a central water loop or cooling tower.
Are these systems more expensive?
They may have a higher upfront cost, but the long-term savings on power and repairs usually make up for it.
Do I need a cooling tower?
Some systems connect directly to a building water loop, but many commercial setups do require a cooling tower to function efficiently.
How long do these units last?
With proper maintenance, 15 to 20 years is very common.
