Air Conditioning Kingsgrove For Homes Going Up a Level
Kingsgrove's brick bungalows are popular with families who build up rather than move out. Adding a second storey changes how the whole house heats and cools, and the air conditioning plan should change with it.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Kingsgrove is often part of a renovation. When a bungalow gets a second storey, the original system rarely has the capacity or ductwork to reach the new rooms, and upstairs bedrooms under a new roof get hot fast. Planning the air conditioning with the extension avoids expensive retrofits later. Alpha & Omega has worked on Sydney renovations since 1989.
Renovation timeline
When to Plan Air Conditioning in a Kingsgrove Second-Storey Addition
The earlier we are involved, the neater and cheaper the result.
During design
We look at the plans and recommend a system and outdoor unit location.
Before framing upstairs
Duct runs and pipe routes are agreed so the framing allows for them.
Rough-in
Ducts, pipes, drains and cabling go in while walls and floors are open.
Downstairs changes
The original system is adjusted, extended or replaced as planned.
Fit-off
Grilles, indoor units and controllers installed after plastering.
Commissioning
Both levels tested and balanced before you move back in.

One modern unit with zones for each level.

Kingsgrove FAQs
Kingsgrove Renovation Air Conditioning Questions
Can my existing ducted system cool a new second storey?
Only if it has spare capacity and the ductwork can reach the new rooms. Many original systems are already working at full capacity for the ground floor.
Is it better to add a second system for upstairs?
Often, yes. A separate upstairs system gives each level full capacity and its own control, and keeps one level comfortable if the other needs service.
When should I talk to you about my renovation?
While the plans are being drawn, before framing starts. That is when duct routes and outdoor unit locations are easiest to plan.
Why do new upstairs rooms get so hot?
They sit directly under the roof and collect rising heat from downstairs, so they usually need more cooling than ground-floor rooms of the same size.
Can you work with my builder?
Yes. We coordinate with builders on rough-in timing and fit-off so the air conditioning fits the build schedule.
What licences cover your installs?
ARC licence AU54289 for refrigerant handling, and NSW contractor licence 329810C.
