Air Conditioning Cobbitty

A single-head split for a bedroom, shed or studio is $1,800–$3,200 installed, and a three-head multi-split is $5,500–$8,500. Ducted reverse-cycle for a four-bedroom home runs $13,000–$16,000, and the large acreage homes common in Cobbitty, with extra living areas or two storeys, are $16,000+, sometimes as two systems. Compact single-storey homes in the newer subdivisions start from around $11,000. Repairs are $280–$3,500 depending on the fault, and annual servicing is $189 for a single split, $329 for a three-head multi and $349 for ducted. Everything is fixed price before we start.

Yes: the village around St Paul's and Cobbitty Road, the acreage blocks out through the paddocks toward Bringelly and Ellis Lane, the properties down near Camden Airport and the river, and the newer subdivisions on the Camden and Oran Park side. A long driveway or a gate code is not a problem, just tell us so the technician arrives at the right entrance.

For the big single-storey acreage home, ducted reverse-cycle with 6–8 zones is the standard answer, and past a certain floor area we will quote two systems rather than one huge unit so the bedroom wing and the living end can run independently. Expect $16,000+ for those, or $13,000–$16,000 for a standard four-bedroom layout, at roughly $1–$2 per hour whole-home to run. Sheds, studios and granny flats get their own single split at $1,800–$3,200.

It changes where the outdoor unit goes and how often it is cleaned. Dust off the paddocks and an unsealed driveway builds up on condenser fins faster than anything in a built-up suburb, and a coated coil loses capacity right when a January afternoon or a frosty July morning is asking for all of it. We site the unit away from the driveway side and the prevailing dust, keep it accessible, and put annual servicing on the calendar, $349 for ducted, so the coil is clean before summer.

Address and the best gate to use, a floor plan or a walk-through video of the house, photos of the roof-space hatch and of where an outdoor unit could sit, and a photo of your switchboard so we can see whether the property has single-phase or three-phase power. If a shed or studio is included, its size and distance from the house. For most acreage jobs we will still do a site visit before locking the price, because pipe runs and access vary a lot out here.

Yes. Luxe Air refrigerant work is carried out by ARCtick-licensed, insured technicians, and on a Cobbitty acreage job with long pipe runs that licence matters more than usual, because the refrigerant charge has to be calculated and recorded correctly. You get the compliance paperwork with the job.
