After air conditioning in Doonside? 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 a 10 to 12.5kW ducted system for the whole house $7,000 to $11,000. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST and the fix is quoted before we start. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
Most Doonside calls are repairs, so here's the honest framework: under $600 on a system under 15 years old, fix it. Over both, the money does more in a new unit. We carry the common parts so the $150 to $500 fixes mostly happen same visit.
Splits are the workhorse here - keep them healthy
A lot of Doonside runs on splits, and a split that gets its filters washed and a service every year or two will do 15 summers without drama. The ones that die young die of neglect: choked filters, caked coils, slow gas leaks nobody noticed. If yours is running longer for less cold, that's the warning - a $250 service catches it while it's cheap.
Still on window units? A modern split halves the noise and the running cost, and the swap is half a day. For whole-house comfort, ducted into these rooflines is straightforward. Numbers first: the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
Doonside sits on our Blacktown run with Blacktown, Seven Hills and Rooty Hill.
