Covering Westmead and the Parramatta region.
A lot of what we do in Westmead is split installs for units and rentals near the hospital, and repairs on older systems in the brick homes.

Westmead is a suburb that runs two speeds. Around the hospital there are units, apartments, and rental properties - mostly healthcare workers and students who need a split sorted quickly. The residential streets away from the hospital have older 1960s and 70s brick homes where we do ducted replacements and repairs on aging systems.

Westmead Brick Home - 12kW Daikin Ducted Replace

Problem

Customer in a 1971 full-brick home in Westmead had a 2001 Carrier ducted system that had lost cooling across two of its three zones. The system was running constantly but not keeping up.

Diagnosis

Two zone motors had failed and the compressor was running inefficiently. At 23 years old, a repair made no financial sense. We replaced it with a 12kW Daikin 4-zone ducted system using the existing ductwork. Total cost $9,400.

Westmead Hospital Rental - Two Panasonic Splits

Problem

Landlord had a 2-bedroom unit near Westmead Hospital with no air conditioning. Tenant was a nurse and the building strata required a specific bracket placement for the condensing unit.

Diagnosis

We installed a 3.5kW Panasonic in the living area and a 2.5kW Panasonic in the main bedroom. Condensing units mounted on strata-approved brackets at the specified location. Strata-compliant and done in a day. Total cost $4,800.

Problem

Yes, if your landlord approves it. We do strata-compliant installs near the hospital regularly – we know the bracket requirements and can install to whatever the strata plan requires. The landlord needs to sign off, but the rest is straightforward.

Depends on the age and the fault. Capacitor and fan motor repairs on a system under 12 years old are usually worth it. On an older ducted system with compressor issues or multiple failed zones, replacement is often better value. We give you an honest assessment on the diagnosis visit.

Air Conditioning Advice for Westmead Homeowners

If you have an older ducted system in Westmead - anything from before 2005 - it is worth having it serviced before summer. A filter change and gas check can extend the life of a system by another season or two. If it is struggling badly, a replacement quote is worth getting so you know what you are looking at before it fails. For investment properties near the hospital, air conditioning is a strong drawcard for tenants - especially healthcare workers doing shift work. A quality 3.5kW split in the living area is usually enough for a 1-bedroom unit and adds clear rental value.

Jay’s Air also provides air conditioning installation and repairs in nearby Parramatta.
