Picton is local for us, not a line on a service map. Ben, the owner, lives in Menangle, practically around the corner, so getting a tech to Picton doesn't involve a trek down the Hume. Repairs usually get seen same day or next, and quotes get booked fast. We've done plenty of work through the town and the properties around it.
Picton runs three kinds of housing: the old weatherboard and brick cottages around the town centre, some going back to the 1800s, solid brick family homes from the 80s and 90s, and the newer estates going in on the edges. Add the acreage properties around the district and you get every kind of air con job there is.
After air conditioning in Picton? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991, and we're just up the road - Ben, the owner, lives in Menangle, only around the corner from the Wollondilly. For a typical 4-bedroom Picton home you're looking at $8,000 to $11,000 for a 12.5kW ducted system. A 2.5kW split for one room runs $1,800 to $2,100. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
Picton summers are proper inland heat, regularly past 40, and the winter mornings frost up harder than most of Sydney. Reverse cycle does double duty out here, so getting the system right matters more than it does on the coast.
The old cottages around town first. Weatherboard and brick from the 1800s and early 1900s, high ceilings, no insulation to speak of. Splits do these properly without cutting ducts through original ceilings, and we mount them with care on the old cladding. The 80s and 90s brick homes mostly want ducted - either a first install or replacing a unit that's past it.
The new estate homes on the edges of town usually come with builder-grade systems that were sized to a budget, not the house. If yours can't hold the living room on a hot afternoon, it's probably undersized - run it through our sizing calculator and check the pricing guide before you spend anything. The acreage places around the district run bigger systems, 14 to 16kW with zoning.
Picton sits at the local end of our run, not the far end. We cover the town and the district from Menangle, along with Camden South, Camden and Menangle itself. Tahmoor and Thirlmere way, same deal - give us a bell.
Most of the ducted air conditioning Picton orders from us goes two ways: new systems into the 80s and 90s brick homes that never had it, and upgrades in the newer estates where the builder-grade unit isn't keeping up. Mick runs our installs through the Macarthur and Wollondilly area and has been on the tools with us since 2009. A typical 4-bedder takes 12.5kW at $8,000 to $11,000, the acreage places 14 to 16kW with zoning. Fixed quote before we start, lifetime workmanship warranty.
Because we're nearly neighbours. Ben, the owner, lives in Menangle, only around the corner, and the business runs from there. Picton isn't the edge of our territory - it's home turf.
Mick Daly runs the ducted installs and has since 2009. Noah Hall does the splits and smaller jobs. Ben handles quotes and diagnostics himself, and for air conditioning repairs Picton gets same-day or next-day service, not a two-week wait for a Sydney crew to find the town.
Pricing is fixed and upfront. We tell you the fault and the cost before we touch anything, and the quote doesn't move once we're on the tools. Installs carry our lifetime workmanship warranty, and repair parts a 12 month warranty.
The credentials: in business since 1991, 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews on Google, NSW licence 273312C, ARCtick AU13058, and $20M public liability. We install Panasonic, Daikin and Actron, and we repair every brand.
We're around Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm, Saturdays by arrangement. Give us a bell on (02) 9820 4500.
Jays Air Jobs Done in Picton
Three recent ones from the town and the district.
For a typical 4-bedroom Picton home, $8,000 to $11,000 for a 12.5kW system installed. Acreage places running 14 to 16kW with zoning are $9,000 to $12,500. Fixed quote before any work starts.
Same day or next day for most repairs. Ben, the owner, lives in Menangle, only around the corner, so Picton is a short run for us, not a day trip. Call (02) 9820 4500.
Splits. A 2.5kW unit at $1,800 to $2,100 handles a bedroom and a 5kW around $2,500 to $3,000 does a living area, with no ducts cut through original ceilings. We mount them carefully on heritage-style cladding.
Jay’s Air. Family run since 1991, our own blokes not subbies, fixed pricing, 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews. Licence 273312C, ARCtick AU13058. And we are just up the road in Menangle. (02) 9820 4500.
From a careful split install on an 1800s cottage to a fully zoned ducted system on acreage, we install, repair and service the lot across Picton and the Wollondilly.
For the older homes around town, work with the building, not against it. High ceilings actually help in summer, and a properly placed split does more than people expect. Keep ducting for the homes with roof spaces built for it.
And service the system before summer, not during it. A $250 service catches low gas, tired capacitors and choked filters in October instead of on the first 40 degree week of December, when every air con company in the state is flat out.
