Roof pitch and height
There must be enough room for the indoor unit and for technicians to service it later.
Bardwell Park runs along the Wolli Creek valley, with streets of brick bungalows and interwar homes. Many owners want ducted air conditioning for the first time, but older roof spaces bring their own challenges.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Bardwell Park often means fitting ducted into a home that was never designed for it. Low-pitched tiled roofs, old timber framing, limited access hatches and ceiling heights all affect where the indoor unit and ducts can go. We inspect the roof space first, then design a neat layout that suits it. Alpha & Omega has retrofitted older Sydney homes since 1989.
These decide whether ducted fits, and how.

A slimline ducted unit may fit. If not, a multi-split or individual splits are good alternatives.
Outlets are cut neatly to size and positioned to avoid joists and fittings. We protect the home and clean up afterwards.
Usually two to three days for a typical home, depending on size and roof access.
