Macquarie Fields is an older Macarthur suburb with a heavy concentration of housing commission homes from the 1960s and 1970s, a good number of private brick homes, and some newer builds along the edges. The older fibro and low-set homes are not suited to ducted - the roof pitch is too shallow. For those homes, two or three well-placed splits is the right answer. The brick homes from the 1980s and 1990s can usually take ducted with no problems.

For a typical older home here, expect around $1,800 to $2,500 for a 2.5kW to 5kW split system. Brick homes that can take ducted typically run $8,000 to $10,500 for a 3 to 4 bedroom system with 4 zones. We give you a fixed price before we start.
How much does air conditioning cost in Macquarie Fields? For the older fibro and low-set homes, splits are the go - ducted is usually not practical without significant roof work.

It depends on the roof. The 1970s fibro and low-set homes usually do not have enough ceiling depth for ducted ductwork – splits are the better call for these. Brick homes from the 1980s and 1990s typically have the roof cavity for ducted. We check at the quote and tell you which makes more sense.
A 2.5kW split starts from around $1,800 to $2,100. A 5kW runs $2,500 to $3,000. For two splits in a commission home – lounge and bedroom – expect $3,600 to $4,200 depending on brands and installation complexity. Fixed price before we start.

For rental property owners in Macquarie Fields, the most common mistake is delaying a repair until the system dies completely. A split system that is low on gas or has a fan fault will keep running at reduced capacity - the tenant stays hot and the compressor works harder than it should, which shortens the unit's life. Get it checked early.
If you are replacing an old unit in a rental, go for a mid-range split rather than the cheapest option. Budget units often cost more in repairs over five years than a quality Panasonic or Daikin would have. We can show you the comparison at the quote.
