Strathfield is one of those inner suburbs with a genuinely varied housing mix. The streets north of the station have Federation homes and California Bungalows from the early 1900s - well-built, characterful homes with high ceilings and deep roof cavities. Around Strathfield Station itself, high-density apartments and newer units are growing fast. In between are solid 1950s to 1970s brick homes on standard suburban blocks.
For Federation homes and California Bungalows in Strathfield, ducted air conditioning works well where the roof cavity allows - and many of these older homes have deeper cavities than you might expect. The challenge is often outdoor unit placement on heritage streetscapes. For apartments and units near the station, a single split or a 2 to 3-head multi-split keeps it tidy. Our sizing guide helps work out the right system for your home type.

In Strathfield, the home type dictates the best approach. Federation and brick homes on full blocks suit ducted. Apartments and units suit splits or multi-heads. The key question for period homes is whether the existing ductwork can be reused or needs replacing - in most systems over three decades old, duct replacement at the same time as the system makes sense for efficiency.
For apartments, check your strata by-laws before committing to a system. Outdoor unit placement requirements vary by building. The pricing guide gives realistic costs for each install type.
