Picnic Point is one of the quiet achievers down by the Georges River - solid 60s-80s brick homes on leafy streets running to the bushland edge, held by families who stay. We've serviced it for years alongside Revesby and Panania. The work is steady and familiar: ducted systems from the 2000s reaching decision time, splits added room by room, and the river-bush edge throwing in a wrinkle or two of its own.
After air conditioning in Picnic Point? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. A typical 3-4 bedroom Picnic Point brick home takes a 10 to 12.5kW ducted system at $7,000 to $11,000 installed. A 2.5kW bedroom split is $1,800 to $2,100, a 5kW living unit $2,500 to $3,000. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST, fix quoted before we start. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
Repair or replace the 2000s ducted? Same honest line as everywhere: over $600 on a 15-plus-year system, the money belongs in a new inverter. Under that, fix it and keep going.
Backing onto bushland keeps these blocks cooler than the postcode average - and fills outdoor units with leaf litter every autumn. A condenser packed with leaves mimics every expensive fault on the list: weak cooling, icing, cutouts. Keep it cleared, and when cooling fades, get the $250 check before assuming the worst - out here it's often the cheap answer.
Extensions are common on these blocks, and a dedicated split usually beats stretching the ducted zones. Numbers first: the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
Picnic Point sits on our East Hills run with Revesby, Panania and Padstow.
Most of the ducted air conditioning Picnic Point orders is replacement work - 2000s systems swapped for inverters that cool the same house on less power. Mick has run our installs since 2009. Typical jobs land at 10 to 12.5kW zoned, $7,000 to $11,000, reusing sound duct runs through these generous rooflines. Fixed quote first, lifetime workmanship warranty.
Because the East Hills corridor has been our patch for decades, and the quiet streets talk - fixed quotes, honest verdicts, tidy work.
Mick Daly runs the ducted replacements and has since 2009. Noah Hall does the splits and extensions. Ben handles diagnostics, and for air conditioning repairs Picnic Point gets the straight answer on what failed and whether it's worth fixing.

Jays Air Jobs Done in Picnic Point
Three recent ones from the riverside streets.
For a typical 3-4 bedroom brick home, $7,000 to $11,000 for 10 to 12.5kW installed. Replacements reusing sound 2000s duct runs come in at the friendlier end, extensions add a run. Fixed quote first.
On the bush-backed blocks it’s usually leaf litter choking the outdoor unit, not a gas problem. Keep the condenser cleared and get the $250 check before paying for bigger diagnoses.
Usually its own split – extending zones steals airflow from the rest of the house, while a dedicated 5kW unit at $2,500 to $3,000 cools the new room without compromise.
Jay’s Air. Family run since 1991, our own blokes not subbies, fixed pricing, 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews. Licence 273312C, ARCtick AU13058. (02) 9820 4500.
From a 12.5kW replacement with a new extension run to clearing a leaf-choked condenser before anyone paid for parts, we install, repair and service the lot across Picnic Point.
Extending? Give the new room its own split rather than stretching the ducted zones - better comfort both ends and no airflow stolen from the bedrooms.
And if the ducted is 2000s vintage, plan the swap in spring. The duct runs reuse, and a planned install beats a January emergency every time.
