Padstow is an East Hills line suburb with a mix of older brick homes on bigger blocks and units around the station and Padstow Road shops. Most of the brick homes are from the 1950s and 1960s, and their ducted systems are well past retirement age. The units and smaller properties near the station are split territory - quick to install, one visit job.

A lot of Padstow homes are running ducted systems from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Carrier and Bryant were the common brands in this area during that era. When zone motors start failing and the compressor is working harder than it should, the numbers usually point toward replacement. We see this a lot in Padstow.
