Riverstone is genuinely two jobs in one suburb. The old town has been here well over a century - fibro, weatherboard and brick cottages on big blocks, some still running window rattlers. The estates around it are brand new. One morning we're fitting a split into a 1950s fibro, the afternoon it's a 16kW ducted in a two-storey that smells of fresh paint. We carry parts and plans for both.
After air conditioning in Riverstone? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. In the old town, a 2.5kW split for a cottage bedroom is $1,800 to $2,100 and a multi-head for three rooms $6,500 to $8,500. In the estates, a 4-bedder takes 12.5 to 14kW zoned ducted at $8,000 to $12,000. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST, fix quoted first. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
Riverstone summers are proper western Sydney heat - the corridor regularly runs hotter than the coast by 4 or 5 degrees, and whatever you install has to be sized for that, not for a Mosman brochure.
The fibro and weatherboard homes around the old town cool beautifully with splits - lightweight walls lose heat fast once the sun drops, so a well-placed 2.5 to 5kW unit does more here than it would in double brick. Multi-heads cover three rooms off one outdoor unit where the family's grown. And if you're still on a window rattler, a modern split will halve the noise and the power bill in one move.
The estate homes get the full new-build treatment: honest sizing for the dark roofs and open plans, zoning that separates sleeping from living, and builder-package fixes where the original install was a size short. Numbers first with the sizing calculator and pricing guide.
Riverstone sits on our north-west run with Schofields, Marsden Park and Rouse Hill.
The ducted air conditioning Riverstone buys is mostly estate-side: first installs and upgrades in the new two-storeys, 12.5 to 16kW zoned, $8,000 to $12,500 fixed. Mick has run the installs since 2009. Old-town homes with sound rooflines can take compact ducted too, and we'll tell you honestly whether yours is one of them or whether a multi-head does the same job for less.
Because we know both Riverstones. The crew that can re-mount a split on 70-year-old fibro without cracking a sheet is the same one zoning a 16kW system in the new estates the next street over.
Mick Daly runs the ducted installs and has since 2009. Noah Hall does the splits and multi-heads through the old town. Ben handles diagnostics, and for air conditioning repairs Riverstone gets the same straight verdicts as everywhere we work.

Jays Air Jobs Done in Riverstone
Three recent ones, old town and new.
Old-town cottages: a 2.5kW split is $1,800 to $2,100, a three-room multi-head $6,500 to $8,500. Estate homes: 12.5 to 14kW zoned ducted at $8,000 to $12,000. Fixed quotes both ends.
Yes – done right it’s no problem. The bracket gets blocked into the studs, not the sheeting, and the pipe penetrations are sealed properly. We’ve been doing the old town’s lightweight homes for decades.
The corridor regularly runs 4 to 5 degrees hotter than coastal Sydney – 40-plus days are normal in January. Systems out here need to be sized for that, which usually means a size up on the brochure number.
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 multi-head on a century-old weatherboard to a 16kW zoned system in a new two-storey, we install, repair and service the lot across Riverstone, old town and new.
Still running window units in the old town? A modern split halves the noise and the running cost, and the install is half a day. It's the best comfort-per-dollar upgrade these cottages can get.
And whichever end of the suburb you're on, keep the outdoor unit clear and shaded where possible - condensers working in full western sun lose real capacity on exactly the days you need them.
