Covering Pennant Hills and the Upper North Shore.
Most of our Pennant Hills work is ducted system replacements in 1970s and 1980s brick homes.

Pennant Hills is an established suburb with a lot of older brick homes that are now overdue for a ducted system upgrade. Many households have lived with the same system for 20-plus years, and we see them come through when the unit finally gives out in the middle of summer. We also do split system installs for extensions and granny flats, and service the full range of brands in the area.

About Us

Air Conditioning in Pennant Hills

Need air conditioning in Pennant Hills? We've been at it since 1991. The full-brick homes here have deep roof cavities that suit ducted, so a replacement runs $9,500 to $12,000, and an extension split is around $3,200. Plenty of aging Carrier and Actron systems due for a swap. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.

Pennant Hills is one of those suburbs where the housing stock and the air conditioning work tell a consistent story. Older brick homes on good-sized blocks, deep roof cavities, and ducted systems that were installed in the 1990s and are now costing more in repairs than they are worth. Air conditioning pennant hills for us means a steady stream of ducted replacements, plus splits for extensions or home offices that the existing system was never designed to cover.

Replacing the Old Ducted System in a Pennant Hills Brick Home

A typical Pennant Hills upgrade goes like this: existing 10-12kW unit from the late 90s or early 2000s, two or three zones still working, a couple that are dead. The customer has been patching it for a few years and has finally decided enough is enough. We pull the old unit, install a new 12-14kW Panasonic or Daikin with fresh ductwork, add zones where needed, and commission it properly. Use our sizing guide if you want to check what your home needs.

For ducted air conditioning pennant hills quotes, the sizing depends on the floor area and ceiling height. A single-storey 4-bedroom brick home here is usually 12kW with 4-5 zones. A two-storey home or one with a large extension will need 14kW or more. We do a site measure before quoting - we will not guess from a floor plan alone.

See our pricing guide for current supply and install costs. Pennant Hills ducted replacements typically fall in the $8,500 to $11,500 range depending on system size, zone count, and whether any existing ductwork can be reused.

Pennant Hills - 12kW Ducted Replacement

Problem

Customer had a 1998 Carrier 10kW ducted system in a 4-bedroom brick home near Pennant Hills Road. Two zones had stopped working. Repair quotes from another company had already come to $900 and it still was not right.

Diagnosis

Mick replaced the unit with a 12kW Panasonic ducted system, replaced the failed ductwork runs, and installed 5 zones including a new master bedroom zone the old system never had. Total $9,800. Customer said they wished they had done it three years earlier.

Pennant Hills - Extension Split System

Problem

Customer had added a rear extension with a large open-plan kitchen and living area. The existing ducted system could not cover the new space and the zone motor was already playing up.

Diagnosis

Noah installed a 7.1kW Daikin split system on the rear wall of the extension, independently zoned and on its own circuit. The existing ducted system was left alone - no point disturbing it. Total $3,200. Works well for the extension and keeps the main system from being overloaded.

Pennant Hills - Capacitor and Refrigerant Leak

Problem

Customer had a 2007 Mitsubishi ducted system that was running but not cooling properly. House was getting to 27 inside on 35-degree days. System ran constantly but made no difference.

Diagnosis

Ben found a failing start capacitor and a small refrigerant leak at a flare joint. Replaced the capacitor, repaired the flare, regassed. Total $380. System was back to cooling the house properly within the hour.

FAQs

Air Conditioning Pennant Hills - Common Questions

FAQs

For a typical 4-bedroom brick home in Pennant Hills, a 12kW 4-zone ducted system runs around $8,500 to $10,000 installed. A 14kW 5-zone system for a larger home comes in at $10,000 to $11,500. Those numbers are supply, install, commissioning, and cleanup. See our pricing guide for the full breakdown.

If your system is over 15 years old and you are spending more than $500-$600 a year on repairs, replacement almost always makes more sense. The new system will be quieter, more efficient, and under warranty. If it is under 12 years old and the issue is a single component, repair is usually the right call. We will give you an honest assessment on site.

Yes. We service every brand – Mitsubishi, Carrier, Actron, Daikin, Panasonic, Fujitsu, and others. A lot of the older ducted systems in Pennant Hills are Carrier and Actron. Our technicians carry common parts for these brands on the van, so we can usually fix a common fault on the first visit.

Resources

Air Conditioning Advice for Pennant Hills Homeowners

Pennant Hills homes are typically good candidates for ducted air conditioning due to the deep roof cavities in older brick construction. If you are adding an extension, talk to us about whether a new zone off the existing unit makes sense or whether a standalone split is the better option - sometimes running a new zone to a distant extension overworks the main unit.

Annual servicing extends the life of any system. For older Carrier, Actron, and Mitsubishi units in this suburb, a service every 12 months catches small problems before they become expensive ones. See our service pricing for filter clean, Gold, and Platinum tier options.
