Before seeking a strata lawyer as Jimmy suggests, you could have a look at the building’s by laws which may contain either an all encompassing by law for air con units or a by law per application for an air con unit which may have required meeting certain criteria. Assuming you find such by law(s), pass it to the lawyer.
Make sure you’re comparing apples with apples. Assuming you find evidence of by law(s) covering air con units, be sure that the system being considered for installation and where it will be installed it is identical to what was approved in the by laws. If you don’t have a copy of the plan for installation from the supplier and installer, then you’ll need to get it. Ideally the plan will reflect what’s in place in other units. It should feature a similarly powered, similar brand with same number of rooms being air conditioned in the unit, using the same common wall as a unit above or below your Mum’s unit. If so, it is hard to see in what legal grounds is the objection.
