Different schedules
Some housemates study late, some work early. Each room needs to run on its own timetable.

Air Conditioning Kensington Every Housemate Gets Their Own Control
Kensington sits right beside UNSW, and many of its Federation houses and older unit blocks are rented as share houses. When five people share one thermostat, nobody is happy, and the power bill causes even more arguments.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Kensington share houses works best room by room. Separate splits or a multi-split with a controller in each bedroom let housemates set their own temperature and switch off when they go out. That cuts arguments, wasted power and wear on the system. We install durable, simple Daikin units suited to rentals. Alpha & Omega has worked with Sydney landlords and families since 1989.

Why Room-by-Room Air Conditioning Suits Kensington Share Houses
One big system rarely suits five different people.
Less waste
Empty rooms stay off instead of being cooled all day for nobody.
Fewer arguments
Everyone controls their own space and comfort.
Good options for landlords
- Individual splits in bedrooms
- Multi-split to keep outdoor units to a minimum
- Simple remotes rather than complex controllers
- Annual servicing between tenancies

When Kensington Tenants Should Report an Air Conditioner Fault
Early reporting keeps small faults small.
Tell your landlord or agent if:
- A room is not cooling or heating properly
- The unit is dripping water inside
- A burning or musty smell from the unit
- Loud or unusual noises from inside or outside
- The remote or controls have stopped working
- The safety switch trips when it runs
Kensington FAQs
Kensington Share House Air Conditioning Questions
Is it better to have one big system or a split in each room?
For share houses, individual splits or a multi-split with separate controls usually work better, as each person controls their own room.
Can one outdoor unit run several bedrooms?
Yes. A multi-split connects up to five indoor units to one outdoor unit, each with its own remote.
How often should rental air conditioners be serviced?
At least yearly, and ideally between tenancies so new tenants start with clean systems.
Can tenants arrange a repair directly?
Usually repairs are arranged through the landlord or managing agent. We are happy to work with either.
Can you deal with our managing agent?
Yes. We regularly coordinate access and invoicing with managing agents.
Which licences does your company hold?
We operate with ARC licence AU54289 and NSW contractor licence 329810C.
