Air Conditioning Matraville

The typical Matraville job is ducted into a three or four-bedroom brick bungalow: a compact single-storey home starts from ~$11,000, a 4-bed family home is $13,000–$16,000, and the larger rebuilds or double-storey homes toward Malabar and Little Bay are $16,000+. A single-head split installed is $1,800–$3,200 and a 3-head multi is $5,500–$8,500. Annual servicing is $189 for a split, $329 for a 3-head multi and $349 for ducted, and repairs are $280–$3,500 depending on the fault, with a corroded outdoor coil or a failed compressor ($1,800–$3,500) at the upper end.

Yes, along with Malabar, Chifley and Little Bay. That means the bungalow streets either side of Bunnerong Rd, the homes around Heffron Park, Chifley's quiet grid behind them, Malabar's streets down toward the beach and Long Bay, the newer housing on the former Prince Henry Hospital site at Little Bay, and the older pockets on the Botany Bay side toward Port Botany. Expect same-week response for most work; in a heatwave we triage breakdowns first, and after a big southerly blow we prioritise units that have stopped on the exposed streets.

A 1950s–60s brick bungalow with a hipped tile roof is a natural ducted candidate: living zone at the front, bedrooms as a second zone, and a third zone for a rear extension if one has been added, running at roughly $1–$2 per hour for the whole house. If the roof cavity has been lost to a second-storey addition, a multi-head split covers the bedrooms and living area instead. In the Little Bay townhouses, a single split or a 2 to 3 head multi is usually the practical answer within the strata rules.

It does, and more than people expect this far from the beach. The southerly comes across Botany Bay and Long Bay with nothing in its way, so salt lands on outdoor units in Chifley and central Matraville as well as on the obvious streets in Malabar and Little Bay. Standard coils pit and lose capacity within a few years. We specify corrosion-rated outdoor units as the default across the whole suburb, mount them on the sheltered side of the house wherever we can, and recommend a coil clean with each annual service to keep the warranty and the performance intact.

Your address, photos of the main rooms, a photo of where you think the outdoor unit could go and which way that wall faces, and whether the house is single storey or has an upstairs addition. A shot of the roof from the street tells us whether the tiles and pitch allow a standard ducted unit. If you are at Little Bay or in a strata block near Malabar, let us know the strata situation, because approval is usually needed for outdoor units on common property and we handle that paperwork with you.

Yes, fully. Every refrigerant task we do in Matraville, Malabar, Chifley or Little Bay is carried out by ARCtick-licensed, insured technicians, including the pressure testing and charging on a new install and the recovery on a corroded unit we are replacing. You get the compliance paperwork at sign-off, together with the corrosion protection details for the outdoor unit so any future warranty claim is straightforward.
