Local Refrigeration Experts, Tumut NSW
RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration is a locally owned air conditioning and refrigeration business founded by Ryan Meredith, based in Tumut, NSW. We provide installation, servicing, repairs and maintenance for residential and commercial customers across Tumut and the wider Riverina region.
Built for Regional Riverina Customers
RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration launched in 2024 out of Tumut, NSW, covering the Riverina and surrounding areas. We built this business to give smaller regional communities access to a qualified, responsive local technician, rather than waiting days for someone to travel out from a larger city. We serve both residential and commercial customers across the region, offering air conditioning installation and refrigeration services for homes, farms, shops and cool rooms alike. It's a straightforward idea, and one the Riverina hasn't always had easy access to.
Ryan Meredith Runs Every Job Himself
I started RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration because I could see the Riverina needed someone reliable based right here in Tumut, not just passing through. I run every job myself, from the first phone call to the final test of the system, because customers deserve to deal with the person actually doing the work. One of the biggest challenges out here is parts. A city job might have a supplier around the corner, but a property near Talbingo or Batlow can mean a longer wait while the right part gets sourced, especially on older systems that don't match what's on the truck. I plan around that instead of pretending it won't happen. What makes the difference on a job isn't a fancy pitch, it's showing up, being upfront about what's involved and getting it done properly the first time.

Locally Owned, Directly Accountable
RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration was established in 2024 as a deliberate decision to build something from scratch in an underserved region, not as a shortfall of experience. The business is locally owned and based in Tumut, and Ryan works every job directly, with no subcontracted crew involved. Being locally owned means scheduling and decisions happen without a head office or franchise layer sitting in between. Payment is accepted by direct deposit.

Small-Business Habits That Build Trust
Running a small local business in the Riverina means the basics matter more, not less. We show up on time, and if something's going to change that, we call ahead rather than leave you guessing. When we find a problem, we explain what it is and why it matters, in plain terms, before any work starts. We won't recommend a repair or replacement that isn't actually needed, even if it'd be an easier sale. If a part has to come from further afield, we'll tell you that upfront and keep you posted rather than let a job go quiet. These aren't rules on a wall, they're just how you run a business when your customers are your neighbours and your name travels fast around here.
Questions About RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
Is RPM a licensed, qualified business or a sole trader doing side jobs?
RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration is a qualified technician's registered business, not a side job. I'm trained and experienced in air conditioning and refrigeration work, and I run this as my main trade, covering Tumut and the Riverina full time. Every job gets the same level of care you'd expect from an established trade business.
Does launching in 2024 mean RPM has less experience than older businesses?
2024 is when this business launched, not when I started in the trade. Starting RPM Air Conditioning & Refrigeration was about building something of my own in a region that needed it, not stepping into a new career. The hands-on skills behind every job were already there before day one.
Can RPM handle both home and business jobs, or is it residential only?
We handle both. On the residential side, that might be installing or servicing a split system in a family home. On the commercial side, it could be maintaining a cool room or display fridge for a local shop. Both matter equally, and both get the same direct attention from me.
What happens if a repair needs parts ordered in and takes longer than expected?
If a part has to be ordered in, I'll tell you straight away and give you a realistic idea of timing. Regional parts sourcing can take longer than it would in a city, especially for older systems, so I keep you posted along the way instead of leaving you wondering what's happening.
Does RPM actually travel to smaller towns like Adelong, Batlow or Talbingo, or is that just for search results?
Yes, we genuinely travel to Adelong, Batlow and Talbingo, along with other towns within about 15 miles of Tumut and further into the Riverina. This coverage isn't just listed for search, it's where I actually work week to week, alongside jobs closer to home in Tumut itself.
