Local knowledge
Planning a split system in Kensington
Federation and interwar houses and semis, 1960s–70s red-brick walk-up flats in Kingsford, Daceyville's heritage garden-suburb cottages, and a run of 2010s-onward apartment buildings along Anzac Parade and the light rail. Start with the rooms you want to heat and cool, then check indoor wall space and the outdoor pipe route.
A university suburb on the inland side of the east, where Federation streets, racecourse-side houses and student flats meet along Anzac Parade. Include photos of the proposed outdoor position so access, drainage and clearance can be assessed with the room layout.

Frequently asked
Common questions about split system air conditioning in Kensington
How much does a split system cost in Kensington including installation?
Single-head: $1,800–$3,200 including installation, depending on capacity. Multi-head (3 heads): $5,500–$8,500 installed. Fixed quote after we see the room and outdoor location.
What outdoor exposure should I allow for in Kensington?
Kensington and Kingsford sit a few kilometres back from the coast, and on many summer days that is far enough for the sea breeze to weaken or miss the suburb entirely, leaving afternoons hot and still while Coogee cools off. Anzac Parade and the big campus buildings store heat and release it slowly, so evenings stay warm. There is little salt to worry about this far inland, which simplifies outdoor unit selection, but the heat load on west-facing rooms and top-floor flats is the real design driver. Winter is mild, with reverse-cycle heating used mostly on still, clear mornings.
Single split or multi-head for my Kensington home?
Compare the rooms used together and the available outdoor positions. Separate splits offer independent systems; a multi-head connects several indoor heads to one outdoor unit. We check the proposed model’s pipe limits and capacity against your layout before recommending either.
