Covering Burwood and the Inner West.
Apartments and older homes both. Plenty of splits and repairs here.

Burwood's changed a lot. There's a wall of apartment towers around the station and the shopping strip now, plus the grand old Federation and Victorian homes up around Appian Way that have barely changed in a hundred years. We work across both. Most weeks round Burwood we're putting splits into apartments or fixing systems in the older homes that have been running a while. The strata side of apartment work is second nature to us by now.

30+ Years

Burwood housing splits two ways. High density apartments near the centre, most built in the last 15 years and tight to cool, and large period homes on the surrounding streets with high ceilings and solid brick. The apartments suit splits and multi-heads, the big homes often want ducted or a multi-zone setup.
About Us

Air Conditioning in Burwood

Want air conditioning in Burwood? We've done this since 1991. A multi-head for an apartment is around $5,900, and ducted for a grand period home runs $10,000 to $12,500. Apartments mean strata, big homes mean proper zoning, and we handle both. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.

Burwood gets hot. The apartments cop the afternoon sun and the older homes hold the heat well into the night. Air conditioning Burwood places properly is about matching the system to the building, because a tower apartment and a Federation home want completely different gear.

Sizing for a Burwood apartment or period home

A typical two bedroom apartment near the station does fine on a 3.5kW split in the living area, maybe a small head in the main bedroom. A big period home up the hill with high ceilings is a different story, usually 7kW per zone or a full ducted system. Have a look at our sizing calculator or give us a bell and we'll sort it.

Split system installation Burwood locals go for is mostly in apartments and units where ducted isn't an option. Multi-head splits let you run a few rooms off one outdoor unit, which matters when balcony space is tight and strata's fussy about what goes where. We handle the approval paperwork.

We also do a stack of air conditioning repairs Burwood way. Plenty of older systems in the period homes just need a regas, a new control board or a proper service rather than a full replacement. We'll give you the honest call either way. Our pricing guide lays out what things cost.

We cover the whole Inner West. If you're in Ashfield, Strathfield or Leichhardt we're around regularly. Burwood sits dead centre of our Inner West patch.

Split System Installation in Burwood

Most Burwood work is splits, especially in the apartments around the centre. We install Panasonic, Daikin and Actron and match the system to the room and your budget. A single room split starts around $1,800 fitted, a multi-head for a few rooms runs higher depending on the number of heads. Every install carries a 12 month workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's, and we sort any strata approvals before we start.

Why Burwood Calls Jay's

We've been going since 1991. Same family, same crew, no random subbies you've never met.

Noah handles most of our split installs across the Inner West, apartments included. Tidy work, in and out without the mess. For repairs and diagnostics, Ben's the one. Years of chasing faults round Sydney homes means he usually knows what's wrong before he's got the cover off.

Pricing is fixed and up front. You get the number before we start. A service runs $150 for a filter clean and check, $250 for the Gold service, or $350 for the Platinum once-over. Air conditioning repairs Burwood wide are a call out plus a quote on the fix, so nothing happens until you say go.

We're fully licensed and certified. NSW Contractor Licence 273312C and ARCtick AU13058, so the refrigerant work is done by the book. We're rated 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.

Open Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm, Saturdays by arrangement. Give us a call on (02) 9820 4500 or flick us a message and we'll get you booked in.

Ducted replacement in a period home near Appian Way

Problem

Beautiful old home with a ducted system from the 90s that had given up. Half the vents weren't pushing any air and the bills were brutal.

Diagnosis

Replaced it with a 16kW Actron ducted system across five zones, so the big rooms and bedrooms run independently. Kept the original ceiling vents to suit the home's age. Three days work, $12,200, 12 month workmanship warranty.

Multi-head split in a Burwood apartment

Problem

Two bed apartment near the station, no cooling, afternoon sun turning the living room into an oven.

Diagnosis

Strata only allowed one outdoor unit, so we fitted a 4kW Panasonic multi-split with a head in the living room and one in the main bedroom, all off a single compressor on the balcony. Approval paperwork handled. $5,900 fitted.

Split not cooling in an older Burwood home

Problem

Wall split a few years old was running flat out but the room never cooled down. Owner figured it was done for.

Diagnosis

Blocked outdoor coil packed with leaf litter plus a tired capacitor. Cleaned the coil, replaced the capacitor, regassed to spec, back to ice cold. $360 all up. Parts carry a lifetime workmanship warranty.

FAQs

Air Conditioning Burwood - Common Questions

FAQs

For a single room split, around $1,800 to $2,100 fitted for a 2.5kW unit, up to $3,000 to $3,500 for a 7kW in a bigger room. Multi-heads for apartments run from about $5,500 depending on heads. A full ducted system in a period home is usually $9,000 to $12,500. All quoted fixed and up front.

Yep, apartments are a big chunk of our Burwood work. Splits and multi-head systems are the way to go, and we handle the strata approval paperwork and pick a system that fits the building rules and your balcony space.

Comes down to age and the fault. Under about 8 years old with a gas leak, board or capacitor, a repair is usually the smart move. Older than that and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth the spend. You get the honest call before any work.

Air Conditioning Advice for Burwood Homeowners

What suits your Burwood place depends on the building. Newer apartments are sealed up tight and cool fast, so you don't need much. Older brick homes take longer to get there but hold it once they do.

Whatever you've got, sort the sizing first and pick a system you can actually get serviced down the track. We're happy to talk it through with no pressure.
