Leichhardt's all terraces and worker's cottages, with a few warehouse conversions and newer apartments mixed in. The streets are tight and a lot of the homes sit in heritage areas, so you can't just bolt a unit anywhere. We've done enough work round here to know where the outdoor gear can go and what the council's fussy about. Most jobs are splits squeezed into terraces, or repairs on systems that have been quietly working away for years.
After air conditioning in Leichhardt? Jay's has been doing it since 1991. Most terraces take a multi-head split around $6,800 because there's no roof for ducting, while a renovated terrace with roof space can run ducted at $9,000 to $10,500. We know where to hide the outdoor unit. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
Leichhardt terraces are gorgeous but they're a pain to cool. High ceilings, big windows, and brick that soaks up the western sun all afternoon. Air conditioning Leichhardt homes well is half about the system and half about working around heritage rules and tight access.
A standard single fronted terrace usually does fine on a couple of well placed splits, say a 3.5kW downstairs and a 2.5kW in the main bedroom. A bigger double fronter or a converted warehouse might want a multi-head or even ducted if there's roof space. Try our sizing calculator or give us a bell and we'll work it out.
Split system installation Leichhardt locals need is all about where the outdoor unit goes. Down a narrow side passage, up on a flat roof, tucked behind a fence, we've put them everywhere. Multi-head splits are popular because one outdoor unit runs a few rooms, which keeps the heritage frontage clean.
We do plenty of air conditioning repairs Leichhardt way too. Older splits and the odd ducted system in a renovated terrace often just need a service, a regas or a new part. We'll tell you straight if it's worth fixing. Our pricing guide has the numbers.
We're across the whole Inner West. If you're in Ashfield, Burwood or Balmain we're on those streets all the time. Leichhardt's right in the thick of our Inner West run.
Splits are the bread and butter in Leichhardt. Terraces and cottages where ducting through the roof isn't practical, and conversions where you want zoned comfort without the mess. We install Panasonic, Daikin and Actron, work out the best spot for the outdoor unit, and keep it tidy and heritage friendly. A single room split starts around $1,800 fitted, multi-heads run higher depending on how many heads. Every install comes with a 12 month workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's.
We've been at it since 1991. Same family, same crew. No subbies you've never clapped eyes on turning up at your terrace.
Noah does most of our split installs across the Inner West, and he's good at the tricky ones, the narrow passages and awkward rooflines Leichhardt throws up. For repairs and diagnostics, Ben's your man. Not much gets past him.
Our pricing is fixed and up front. You know the number before we start. A service is $150 for a filter clean and check, $250 for the Gold service, or $350 for the Platinum. Air conditioning repairs Leichhardt wide are a call out plus a quote on the fix, so you call the shots.

Depends on age and fault. Under about 8 years with a gas leak, a worn bearing or a board, a repair is the smart move. Older than that, we will give you the honest call on whether it is worth it. You decide before any work starts.

Cooling an old Leichhardt home comes down to the layout and the heritage rules. High ceilings and big windows mean you want the system sized properly, not just the cheapest unit on the shelf.
