Wentworth Point is nearly all apartments and nearly all new - towers and mid-rises built this century, packed onto a peninsula with water on three sides. The work is splits and multi-heads with strata done properly, plus a steady run of repairs in buildings where the gear came in with the developer and is now reaching its first real service years.
The stock is 2010s-onward apartments, one to three bedrooms, plenty with developer-installed splits now 5 to 10 years old. Balcony placement rules, noise limits and drainage standards vary building to building, and the peninsula breeze means outdoor units cop more weather than the postcode suggests.
After air conditioning in Wentworth Point? Jay's Air has been doing it since 1991. A 2.5kW split for an apartment bedroom runs $1,800 to $2,100 installed, a 5kW living area unit $2,500 to $3,000, and a multi-head covering three rooms $6,500 to $8,500. Fault-finding is $250 plus GST, fix quoted first. 4.8 stars from 280+ reviews.
The developer-installed splits are the local story: thousands went in as the towers rose, and the early ones are now 5 to 10 years old with the first real faults arriving - sensors, capacitors, drains, the odd board. All fair-money fixes if they're caught before they cascade.
If your building went up in the mid-2010s, your split has done nearly a decade with - let's be honest - probably zero servicing. Weak cooling, longer run times or a musty smell are the signs. A $250 service with a coil clean brings most of them back to spec and heads off the expensive faults.
New installs get the full strata treatment - application paperwork prepared with the quote, noise specs documented, drainage to the building standard. Numbers first: the sizing calculator and the pricing guide.
Wentworth Point sits on our corridor run with Rhodes, Homebush and Lidcombe.
The air conditioning repairs Wentworth Point sends us cluster in the ageing developer fleet: blocked drains tripping float switches ($120 to $150), capacitors and sensors ($150 to $300), gas lost through balcony runs ($200 to $350 once the leak's repaired), and coils overdue a proper clean ($200 to $300). Quoted before we start, most fixed same visit, 12 months on parts. Ben does the diagnostics.
Because apartment work done right is paperwork plus craft, and we bring both: strata applications prepared, noise specs in writing, drainage to standard, common property protected.
Noah Hall runs the peninsula installs, and split system installation Wentworth Point committees approve is his regular week. Mick Daly handles the bigger jobs. Ben does quotes and diagnostics himself.

Jays Air Jobs Done in Wentworth Point
Three recent ones from the peninsula towers.
Yes – every building here has rules on placement, noise and drainage, and they vary block to block. We prepare the application as part of the quote and know what the local buildings accept.
Usually not yet – most are just overdue their first real service. A coil clean, drain flush and gas check at around $250 to $290 brings the typical 5 to 10 year old unit back to spec.
A 2.5kW bedroom split is $1,800 to $2,100 installed, a 5kW living unit $2,500 to $3,000, and a three-room multi-head $6,500 to $8,500. Fixed quotes with the strata paperwork included.
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 reviving a never-serviced developer split to a documented multi-head application on the water side, we install, repair and service the lot across the peninsula.
The peninsula breeze is mostly your friend, but balcony outdoor units cop more weather here than the postcode suggests - keep them clear and have the connections checked at service time.
And mind the condensate. In a tower, your drain problem becomes your downstairs neighbour's ceiling problem fast. Proper grading and an annual flush keep you out of the body corporate minutes.
