Local knowledge
Where a split beats ducted in the Penrith area
Around Kingswood and Werrington, close to the Western Sydney University campuses and Nepean Hospital, rentals and share houses need each bedroom under its own control, because tenants keep different hours and one thermostat in the hallway suits nobody. A hospital shift worker trying to sleep through a hot afternoon needs a quiet indoor head that can hold a bedroom cool at midday. For landlords, a wall split per bedroom is simple to maintain and simple to repair one room at a time. Where the side of the house is short on space, a multi-head can run three rooms from a single outdoor unit.
In the postwar cottages of Werrington, Cambridge Park and Colyton, one well-placed split in the living area often carries more of the house than owners expect, with a second in the main bedroom if needed. Fibro walls need the pipe penetration and bracket fixings planned, because the sheeting will not carry an outdoor unit on its own. On pre-1990 fibro, the possibility of asbestos has to be settled before anything is cut, and handling it is a separate specialist trade, not part of our install. Granny flats on the larger Colyton and Kingswood blocks usually get their own dedicated split rather than a share of the main system.
Around St Marys Station, Queen Street and the unit blocks near Penrith Station, newer townhouses and older strata buildings bring body corporate rules into play. The outdoor unit position, the pipe route and the drain point usually need approval before work starts. We supply the equipment specifications for your application, and lodging it with the committee is your side of the job. Once a spot is approved, we keep the condenser off a west-facing wall wherever the building allows, because a unit baking in the late sun out here loses capacity at the exact hour the room needs it most.
Scope of work & pricing
What's included, and what moves the price
A single wall split installed runs $1,800–$3,200, which covers most living rooms in the area's postwar cottages or one bedroom in a Kingswood rental. A multi-head system with three heads costs $5,500–$8,500 installed and suits a share house, or a 1970s Werrington home whose roof space is too tight for ducted. The $99 in-home assessment comes off the invoice if you go ahead with the install.

Frequently asked
Common questions about split system air conditioning in Penrith
What size split does a west-facing living room in St Clair need?
That depends on the floor area, the glass and how much afternoon sun the room takes, so we measure rather than guess. In St Clair and the other 1980s brick-veneer suburbs, the walls keep releasing the day's heat after sunset. A split for a west-facing living room needs enough capacity to pull the room down in the evening, not just hold it steady at noon.
I own a share house near the Kingswood campus. Should every bedroom get its own split?
In most share houses, yes. Separate splits let each tenant run their own room on their own schedule and keep one person's settings off another person's bill. If there is only room for one outdoor unit, a multi-head system with a head in each bedroom gives the same individual control. We lay out both options in the quote so you can compare the cost and the wall space each needs.
Can a split system be mounted on a fibro house in St Marys or Colyton?
Yes, with some planning. Fibro sheeting is not a fixing point, so the indoor head goes onto the wall framing and the outdoor unit onto a slab or a properly fixed bracket. The pipe penetration is placed before any cut is made. On pre-1990 homes, asbestos must be ruled out or dealt with by a specialist before we drill, and we will flag that at the assessment.
Our St Marys townhouse is strata. What approval does a split need?
In most complexes, yes. Many of the townhouses around the station and Queen Street are newer strata developments, and the rules usually cover where an outdoor unit can sit and how pipework is run on the facade. Check your by-laws first. We provide the model specifications, dimensions and a proposed position for the application, then book the install once the committee signs off.
Is one multi-head better than two separate splits in a Werrington home?
It depends on the block and the rooms. A multi-head puts one outdoor unit on the wall instead of two or three, which helps on a narrow side passage. Separate splits keep each room independent, so a fault in one does not stop the others. In a small 1970s brick home with a tight roof, either can work well, and we price both.
