Air Conditioning Centennial Park Keep the Possums Out
Homes around Centennial Park look straight onto 189 hectares of parkland, with fig trees, ponds and plenty of wildlife. Possums, rats and birds love a warm, sheltered outdoor unit, and they can chew through pipe insulation and wiring.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Centennial Park homes needs protecting from wildlife. Possums and rats chew pipe insulation and cabling, birds nest in sheltered units, and leaf litter from big park trees blocks coils. Covered pipework, sealed penetrations and sensible placement keep critters out, and regular checks catch damage early. Alpha & Omega has worked around Sydney's leafy suburbs since 1989.

Centennial Park FAQs
Centennial Park Wildlife and Air Conditioning Questions
Can possums damage my air conditioner?
Yes. They chew pipe insulation and sometimes wiring, and may shelter in or around outdoor units.
How do you stop animals chewing the pipework?
We enclose pipes in rigid covers, protect exposed cables and seal wall penetrations.
Is it safe to remove a nest myself?
Switch the system off first, and if a native animal is involved, contact a licensed wildlife handler. We can repair any damage afterwards.
Do leaves from park trees affect the system?
Yes. Leaf build-up blocks airflow, so keep the area clear and book regular cleans.
Can you replace damaged insulation?
Yes. We replace damaged lagging and covers and check the system is working correctly.
