Bass Hill is classic post-war Sydney along the old Hume Highway - fibro and brick homes on solid blocks, families who have been there for decades, and a steady wave of duplexes replacing originals corner by corner. We work it off the Bankstown run: triage on hard-working old splits, proper installs in the new duplexes, and the straight answer every time.
After air conditioning in Bass Hill? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. A 2.5kW split for a bedroom runs $1,800 to $2,100 installed, a 5kW living room unit $2,500 to $3,000, and ducted for the duplexes and bigger homes lands at $7,000 to $11,000. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST with the fix quoted before we start. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
The honest rule on the older gear: under $600 on a unit under 15 years, repair it. Past both, the repair money belongs in a replacement - and we say which side of the line yours is on before anything is spent.
The duplex wave through Bass Hill is the cheapest moment these homes will ever have for proper cooling - pipe runs, drains and circuits roughed in during the build cost a fraction of the retrofit. We coordinate with duplex builders regularly: full fit-outs sized per side, not one shared compromise.
The originals get splits done right - brackets into studs on the fibro, honest sizing for big-household duty. Numbers first: the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
Bass Hill sits on our Bankstown run with Yagoona, Condell Park and Bankstown.
The air conditioning repairs Bass Hill rings about are the post-war staples: capacitors on hot days ($150 to $180), drains blocked and dripping ($120 to $150), hard-run splits low on gas ($200 to $350 once the leak is fixed), and fan motors past their best ($300 to $500). Most fixed same visit, quoted first, 12 months on parts. Ben does the diagnostics.
Because the price quoted is the price paid, and the advice is what we'd do at our own place. On the old Hume that reputation still travels the old way - over the fence.
Noah Hall does the splits and duplex fit-outs, and split system installation Bass Hill homes order keeps him regular here. Mick Daly runs the ducted work. Ben handles quotes and diagnostics himself.

Jays Air Jobs Done in Bass Hill
Three recent ones from around the suburb.
A 2.5kW bedroom split is $1,800 to $2,100, a 5kW living room unit $2,500 to $3,000 – mounted into the studs on fibro, sized honestly for households that run them hard.
Regularly – roughed in at frame stage, fitted at handover, each side sized independently. It’s the cheapest moment the building will ever have for proper cooling.
Under $600 and under 15 years, usually yes – and half the “dying” units here just need a proper clean. Past both, we give you the honest replacement number instead.
Jay’s Air. Family run since 1991, our own blokes not subbies, fixed pricing, 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews. Licence 273312C, ARCtick AU13058. (02) 9820 4500.
From a $165 capacitor on a 39 degree day to fitting out a duplex pair, we install, repair and service the lot across Bass Hill and the Bankstown corridor.
Building a duplex? Rough the aircon in at frame stage and size each side independently - shared compromises show up every summer for thirty years.
On fibro, brackets into studs always. A wobbling split is a remount now or a wall repair later.
