Checklist
When a New Cooling System Makes Sense
Some homes here have never had cooling at all. Others run units well past their working life, costing more every summer. Either way, a proper install starts with the house, not the catalogue.
A few signs it's time:
- Your current unit struggles on days over 35 and never quite catches up
- Repair bills are stacking up on a system more than a decade old
- You're heating and cooling with separate appliances that each cost a fortune
- You've renovated or added rooms and the old system no longer covers them
If the unit itself is the problem rather than the age, a repair might buy you years. We'll tell you straight either way. See our air conditioning repairs page if you're not sure which side you're on.
Local knowledge
Installing Air Conditioning in the Older Homes Here
The housing stock decides the job. Kilburn was subdivided in the 1890s and built out through the inter-war years and the post-war Housing Trust era, so most streets are single-storey solid-brick and rendered cottages and semi-detached double units on compact blocks.
That brings three practical realities to every quote:
Split or ducted
Split systems suit most of the cottages along Way Street and Kintore Avenue: one outdoor unit, one or two heads, done in a day. Ducted air conditioning suits homes with usable roof space and suits families who want the whole house covered.
Heating counts too
Adelaide winters are genuinely cold, so a reverse-cycle system earns its keep twice a year. If you'd rather keep gas, ducted gas heating is still a real option here.
Evaporative cooling won't heat, so it's a summer-only choice. It runs cheap in Adelaide's dry heat with the windows open, and pairs well with gas ducted heating if you want both seasons covered.

Air Conditioning Installation Questions
How long does an installation take?
A single split system is usually done in a day, including testing and handover. Ducted installs take two to three days depending on roof access, and we confirm timing in the fixed quote before anything is booked.
Can you install ducted in an older semi-detached home?
Often yes. Many of the post-war double units around Kilburn have roof space that takes ducted runs, but we check the cavity on site first. Where ductwork is a poor fit, we'll say so and recommend splits instead.
Do I need a new power circuit for air conditioning?
Sometimes. Larger split systems and any ducted unit need a dedicated circuit, and some of the older cottages here have switchboards that need attention first. We check this during the onsite assessment and price it into the quote.
What size system does a brick cottage need?
It depends on room size, ceiling height and how the brick holds heat, which is why we measure rather than guess. An undersized unit runs flat out on hot days and an oversized one cycles wastefully, so correct sizing is the cheapest efficiency decision you'll make.
Do you install near St Brigid's School and the Churchill Centre?
Yes. We install across the 5084 postcode, from homes near St Brigid's School and the Churchill Centre out to the streets around Jack Watkins Reserve and the Islington Railway Workshops side. If you're inside 5084, you're on our regular run.
