Box Hill barely existed ten years ago and now it's street after street of new family homes. That makes the work here simple to describe: first ducted installs into homes that came without, upgrades where the builder package fell short, and splits for garages, studios and granny flats as the blocks fill in. New suburb, new gear, no old-system dramas - yet.
After air conditioning in Box Hill? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. The typical two-storey Box Hill 4 or 5 bedder wants a 14 to 16kW zoned ducted system at $9,000 to $12,500 installed. A 2.5kW split for one room is $1,800 to $2,100. Fault-finding on a builder system is $250 plus GST with the fix quoted first. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
No trees, no shade, dark roof: Box Hill homes cop the full sun load from sunrise to sunset, and it shows in the sizing. What carries a leafy suburb's 4-bedder at 12.5kW often needs 14 to 16 out here, zoned so upstairs and downstairs run on their own schedules.
If you're still building, the cheapest air conditioning decision you'll ever make is roughing in the pipe runs, drain and circuit at frame stage. It costs a fraction of a retrofit and keeps every option open at handover. We work in with builders' schedules and do this constantly across the corridor.
Already moved in with a builder package that can't hold the living room? Get it tested before assuming it's broken - undersizing is the usual story and sometimes a rezone fixes it for hundreds, not thousands. Numbers first: the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
Box Hill sits on our Hills run with Rouse Hill, Schofields and Riverstone.
Nearly all the ducted air conditioning Box Hill orders from us is first installs into new homes. Mick has run our installs since 2009, and the new-build pattern is his specialty: 14 to 16kW, 5 or 6 zones, raked-ceiling living areas handled properly, $9,000 to $12,500 on a fixed quote with lifetime workmanship warranty. For air conditioning installation Box Hill builders and owner-builders can book rough-ins at frame stage too.
Because we size for full sun and no shade, which is exactly what Box Hill is for the next decade until the street trees grow. The brochure numbers don't survive out here and we quote like it.
Mick Daly runs the ducted installs and has since 2009. Noah Hall handles splits for the garages, studios and granny flats going in behind the new homes. Ben does quotes and diagnostics himself.

Jays Air Jobs Done in Box Hill
Three recent ones from the new streets.
Most Box Hill two-storey homes want 14 to 16kW zoned, which runs $9,000 to $12,500 installed. The full-sun, no-shade blocks out here genuinely need the bigger sizing. Fixed quote off your plans or a visit.
Yes, and you should – pipe runs, drain and circuit at frame stage cost a fraction of a retrofit. We coordinate with your builder and come back to fit the system at handover.
Probably not broken – probably undersized for the open plan and the western glass. We test it properly first. Sometimes a rezone sorts it for a few hundred dollars, sometimes the honest answer is a bigger unit.
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 16kW zoned system in a brand-new 5-bedder to a split in the granny flat out back, we install, repair and service the lot across Box Hill and the Hills growth corridor.
Know your builder warranty before paying anyone for repairs on a young system - many builder-installed units carry 5-year parts cover. If your fault is a warranty job we'll say so and write it up for the claim.
And mind the side-passage condensers. Compact blocks and new fences trap dead air around outdoor units - if yours lives in a hot corner it's losing capacity exactly when you need it most.
