Northmead climbs its hill between Parramatta and the Hills - solid 60s-80s brick family homes, townhouse complexes from the 90s on, and unit blocks toward the hospital end. We service it weekly off the Parramatta run. The work is the steady kind: 2000s ducted systems reaching decision time, townhouse splits with body corporate rules, and honest repairs in between.
After air conditioning in Northmead? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. A typical 3-4 bedroom Northmead brick home takes a 10 to 12.5kW ducted system at $7,000 to $11,000 installed. Townhouse splits run $1,800 to $2,100 for a 2.5kW bedroom unit, $2,500 to $3,000 for a 5kW living area. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST, fix quoted first. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
The honest rule: under $600 on a system under 15 years, repair it. Past both, the money belongs in a new inverter - and the 2000s ducted wave here is hitting that line street by street.
Northmead's townhouse complexes each run their own line on outdoor unit placement, and an install done without the nod can be ordered out. We document placement and drainage with the quote, work within the complex rules, and the committee conversation happens once instead of three times.
The houses get the standard gold treatment - replacements reusing sound ducts, honest sizing for the western afternoons. Numbers first: the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
Northmead sits on our Parramatta run with Parramatta, Westmead and Baulkham Hills.
Most of the ducted air conditioning Northmead orders is replacement work in the 60s-80s brick homes - 2000s systems swapped for inverters that handle the western afternoons on less power. Mick has run our installs since 2009. Typical jobs land at 10 to 12.5kW zoned, $7,000 to $11,000, duct runs reused where sound. Fixed quote first, lifetime workmanship warranty.
Because we've worked the Parramatta fringe for thirty-plus years, the quote doesn't move, and the townhouse committees know our paperwork turns up right.
Mick Daly runs the ducted work and has since 2009. Noah Hall does the splits and townhouses, and split system installation Northmead complexes approve is routine for him. Ben handles quotes and diagnostics himself.

West-side-of-the-hill homes cop the full afternoon - size for it, and shade the outdoor unit where you can. The calculator plus an honest look at your sun settles the size.
And wash the filters every couple of months in season. Free, and it prevents half the weak-cooling calls we get here.
