St George in Sydney's south has bayside homes under the flight path, steep river blocks in Blakehurst and apartment towers in Hurstville. We look at how your place is built first, then design the ducted, split, multi-split or VRV system that suits it.
Alpha & Omega Air Conditioning, a family-run Daikin Specialist Dealer that has been fitting and fixing air conditioning in St George homes since 1989. The team covers all 39 suburbs between Wolli Creek and Oatley. Every install starts with a home visit, and you get a fixed written price with all costs confirmed before work begins.
St George packs a lot into a small area. Botany Bay beachfront, sandstone river frontage, high-rise town centres and long streets of interwar brick all sit within a few kilometres of each other.
Here's what we usually run into in each, and how we deal with it.
Salt blows straight off Botany Bay onto outdoor coils. And with aircraft overhead, plenty of owners keep the windows shut, so the air con is doing every bit of the cooling.
Blue Fin coated outdoor units tucked in the lee of the house, sized for a system that runs most days of summer.
Sandstone slopes, long stairs to the water and big glass facing north over the river. Afternoon sun through that glass plus river humidity will beat a small unit every time.
Heat loads worked out with the glazing included, pipe routes planned down the slope, and inverters with a real dry mode.
Towers and older walk-ups along the Illawarra line come with by-laws on outdoor unit location, noise and visible pipework. Balconies are often barely big enough for a chair.
One compact outdoor unit running several rooms, with the noise specs and drawings your strata committee wants to see.
These suburbs miss most of the bay breeze, so January afternoons get hot. Many older brick homes have low-pitched roofs with barely enough space to crawl, and the M5 adds a layer of road grime.
Slimline ducted units that fit a shallow roof, or carefully placed splits where ducting won't go, plus filter checks more often near the motorway.
Choose the system by the house, not the price tag. Here's where each one fits best locally.
Air goes through slim ceiling outlets and you zone off the rooms nobody's using. Shallow-roof models mean even older Bexley and Penshurst homes can usually take it.
See ducted options →A bedroom, the lounge or a home office, fitted in a day. Daikin inverter splits are quiet enough to sleep next to.
See split systems →Up to five indoor units on one outdoor unit. The tidy fix for small balconies in Wolli Creek, Kogarah and Hurstville.
See multi-split →Multi-level houses on the river in Blakehurst or Connells Point, plus commercial buildings. Heat the shady side while cooling the sunny side, from one outdoor unit.
See VRV systems →Gas leak checks, coil cleans, fault finding and scheduled maintenance. Genuine spares travel in the van, so most problems are sorted on the day.
See servicing →Retail, clinics and offices in Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale. We also set up AirTouch 5 and Daikin Wi-Fi for phone control.
See commercial →Tell us your street and which rooms are the problem. One of our licensed techs will come out, have a look and tell you straight.
Wrong-sized systems are behind most of the complaints we hear about other installs. That's why nothing gets priced until we've measured.
We come to you and look at room sizes, ceiling heights, window direction, insulation and how we get into the roof.
Each room gets its own heating and cooling figure. Nothing gets rounded up 'just to be safe'.
Coated coils near the bay, glazing allowances on the river, compact units for strata, slimline ducted for shallow roofs.
You get one figure in writing, with any call-out or travel costs listed, so nothing turns up later.
We turn up when we said we would, cover the floors, run the pipework neatly and take our rubbish with us.
We show you how to drive it, then book servicing at whatever interval your spot calls for.
We fit Daikin across St George because it deals well with bay salt, river humidity and the long hours these systems put in each summer. The inverter compressors speed up and slow down rather than slamming on and off, so they're quieter and cheaper to run.
Daikin has certified us as Residential, Commercial and VRV Aircon Experts.
Bay salt, M5 grime and long summer run times all stick to coils and filters. Once that builds up, the compressor has to work overtime to keep up.
Any of these is worth a phone call:
One with a factory-applied anti-corrosion coating on the outdoor coil. Daikin includes its Blue Fin coating on every outdoor coil as standard. We also try to mount the outdoor unit out of the direct onshore wind, and give the coil a fresh-water rinse at each service.
Usually, yes. A lot of older homes in Bexley, Kingsgrove and Penshurst have low-pitched roofs with little room, so we use slimline indoor units and route ducts around the framing. If the roof truly can't take it, we'll tell you and suggest a multi-split instead.
Most strata schemes want to approve the outdoor unit location, its noise level and the pipe route. We give your strata manager the specifications and drawings they ask for, and a multi-split usually keeps the balcony footprint smallest.
Yes. Plenty of homes in Blakehurst, Kyle Bay and Lugarno sit on steep sandstone. We plan the outdoor unit position and pipe route during the home visit so the install is safe and the unit is easy to reach for servicing.
All 39, across postcodes 2205 to 2223. That runs from Wolli Creek and Arncliffe in the north down to Oatley, Lugarno and Sans Souci, and any call-out or travel costs are confirmed when you book.
Yearly is the minimum. If you're near Botany Bay or the M5, every six months is better, because salt and road grime coat the coils faster there.
Five years, covering both parts and labour, on Daikin systems we supply and install.
Yes. Our ARC refrigerant handling licence is AU54289 and our NSW contractor licence is 329810C.
We know which bayside streets cop the salt, which river blocks need long pipe runs, and which buildings want strata sign-off before anything goes on the balcony.
Every suburb across the Georges River and Bayside council areas, postcodes 2205 to 2223. Type yours in to check.
