AIR CON · STRATHFIELD

Air Conditioning in Strathfield — done properly, first visit

Sydney summers demand air-conditioning that actually works — and most cooling problems are electrical or refrigerant, not the unit itself. We supply and install split systems from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Haier, from a 2.5kW bedroom unit through to 9kW living-room systems, with the dedicated circuit, isolator, condensate drainage and pipework all in a single visit.

For ducted air-con we handle the electrical scope — dedicated three-phase circuit where required, isolator, zone controller wiring, dedicated smoke detector isolation for the return-air path — and coordinate with a licensed refrigeration partner on the ductwork and outdoor unit lift. Existing ducted systems with dead zone motors, failed controllers or a compressor that won't start are diagnosed and repaired the same visit where the parts are on the van.

All refrigerant work is performed by ARC-licensed technicians — a legal requirement in Australia. Every install includes a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work and a written warranty on our labour.

HOW THE JOB RUNS

Every air con job, same 4 steps

  1. STEP 1

    On-site sizing and quote

    We measure the room, check insulation and glazing, spec the correct kW capacity, and quote a fixed price on the spot.

  2. STEP 2

    Electrical rough-in

    Dedicated circuit run from the switchboard, isolator installed within sight of the outdoor unit, RCBO added if the board needs one.

  3. STEP 3

    Install and commission

    Indoor head mounted, outdoor condenser located and secured, refrigerant pipework brazed and vacuumed, controller paired.

  4. STEP 4

    Test, tune and hand over

    Cooling and heating tested through the full temperature range, controller demoed, and Certificate of Compliance issued.

RECENT JOBS

Anonymised examples from around Strathfield

Isolator switch replacement for compliance

During a routine check in Strathfield, the outdoor isolator for a split system was found non-compliant and corroded. We replaced it with a weatherproof isolator rated for the unit and re-certified the installation. Strathfield falls inside postcode 2135 on our Inner West route, so we quote up front and finish to AS/NZS 3000 with a compliance certificate. Strathfield is largely Federation homes, and that stock tends to dictate how much of the existing wiring we can reuse on a job like this.

1.2 hrs on siteCompliant weatherproof isolator installed, unit re-certified.

Circuit upgrade for a multi-head split system

A Strathfield home adding a second indoor head to their multi-head system needed extra circuit capacity. We assessed the existing board, upgraded the circuit rating and confirmed both heads ran without tripping. Large stock of Federation-era homes with original wiring — ceramic fuseboards and unshielded VIR cabling are still common finds.

3.3 hrs on siteUpgraded circuit supports both indoor heads without tripping.

Names and identifying details omitted. Every job includes an electrical Certificate of Compliance issued to the property owner.
