After air conditioning in Homebush? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. For the Federation homes, a 12.5kW ducted system runs $8,000 to $11,000 done carefully around original ceilings. For the apartments, a 2.5kW split is $1,800 to $2,100 and a three-room multi-head $6,500 to $8,500 with strata handled. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST, fix quoted first. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
The two ends of the suburb ask opposite questions. House owners want ducted without butchering a hundred-year-old home - the answer is careful planning, sound roof spaces and vents that respect the ceilings. Apartment owners want approval without a saga - the answer is paperwork done right the first time.
Federation homes take ducted better than people fear
The interwar rooflines here are generous, and a careful crew gets full ducted in without touching original plaster or mouldings - vent positions planned room by room, runs kept off the heritage fabric. Where the roof says no, a multi-head does the job invisibly. Either way the house stays a Federation home, just a comfortable one.
Apartment installs get the strata treatment: application prepared with the quote, noise and drainage specs documented. Check your numbers on the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
