Peakhurst is a well-established St George suburb with a real family-neighbourhood feel. The homes are mostly from the 1950s and 60s - brick veneer on decent-sized blocks, often with a rumpus room or garage conversion added over the years. A lot of them have been running the same ducted system since the 90s. We do a steady amount of ducted replacements here, along with zone motor repairs on older zoned systems and split installs for new additions and subdivided duplexes.
Want air conditioning in Peakhurst? We've done this since 1991. Ducted for a family home with a rumpus runs $9,500 to $11,500, and a split for a duplex is around $2,500. Bigger blocks here often need proper zoning, which we sort. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
Peakhurst is an established family suburb in the St George area, sitting between Beverly Hills and Mortdale. Most of the housing is from the 1950s through the 70s - brick veneer homes on good-sized blocks, often with an extension or rumpus room added over the years. It's a suburb where families stay for a long time, which also means the air conditioning systems tend to stay in place until they stop working.
For a typical Peakhurst home - 4 bedrooms plus a rumpus on a 600sqm block - you're looking at a 12kW to 14kW ducted system with 4 to 5 zones. At that size you get proper independent room control, so you're not cooling the whole house just to use one room. We scope the zones to the actual layout - including the extension or rumpus - so the new system covers what the old one probably didn't.
Air conditioning repairs Peakhurst homes call us for most often involve aging zoned ducted systems - zone motors that have seized, refrigerant leaks, and compressors running on borrowed time. A failed zone motor is usually a $280 to $400 fix and worth doing. A failing compressor on a 20-year-old system generally points to a replacement quote as well.
For split system installation Peakhurst duplexes on subdivided blocks are the most common fit - newer builds without ducted provision, or half-houses that don't need a full ducted setup. A 3.5kW to 5kW split does the job well.

Air conditioning repairs Peakhurst calls us for most often are on older zoned ducted systems - zone damper motor failures are very common in 15 to 20-year-old systems, and they're generally worth fixing. Other common Peakhurst jobs: refrigerant leaks at aged flare fittings, dead start capacitors, and dirty filters causing icing. Call-out includes the diagnosis. Labour is $125/hr and the fix is quoted before we start.

Jays Air Jobs Done in Peakhurst
Recent air conditioning work in Peakhurst.
For a typical Peakhurst family home – 4 bedrooms plus a rumpus on a 600sqm block – you’re looking at $10,000 to $13,000 for a fully installed 14kW ducted system with 5 zones. Smaller 3-bedroom homes hit the $8,500 to $11,000 range at 12kW. Splits for duplexes start from around $1,900. All pricing is fixed upfront. See the pricing guide for a full breakdown.
If it’s still running reasonably well and hasn’t needed major repairs, there’s no rush – but have it serviced annually so you can catch the warning signs early. If the compressor is starting to struggle, refrigerant is leaking regularly, or multiple zones have stopped responding, get a replacement quote alongside the repair quote. A 20-year-old system uses significantly more power than a modern inverter unit – the running cost savings add up quickly.
Sometimes, but it depends on whether the existing system has spare capacity and whether the control board supports an additional zone. Some older systems do, some don’t. We can check when we’re out for a service or repair. If the system is already at its limit, it’s often better to size up when replacing rather than try to add zones to a system that’s close to the end of its life anyway.

From 14kW ducted replacements in Peakhurst family homes to split installs in new duplexes, Jay's Air covers the full range of air conditioning work across the St George area.
Older brick homes in Peakhurst are generally well suited to ducted air conditioning - solid roof access and single-storey layouts make install and zoning straightforward. If you're replacing an older system, this is a good opportunity to add or reconfigure zones to cover the extensions and additions that may have gone in since the original install.
For duplexes and new builds without ducted provision, a quality reverse-cycle split is the practical option. Daikin and Panasonic are the most reliable in this use case. Check pricing here before you call.
