Local to Kensington
Kensington is made up of interwar semis and bungalows alongside a heavy concentration of student and investor apartments. The land here is gently sloping, level building platforms, easy access.
A lot of the work here is retrofitting units in blocks that were never designed for air conditioning. It is the reason wall-mounted splits and multi-heads, sited to satisfy strata and the neighbours suits most of Kensington, and the reason we quote after looking at the roof space and the outdoor unit location, not before.
Kensington covers about 2.7 square kilometres in postcode 2033, and we work Anzac Parade, UNSW and Kensington Park regularly. Every quote is the same: a look at the roof space and the switchboard, a sizing calculation for the rooms you actually use, and a written price with nothing added later. We cover Kingsford, Randwick and Moore Park on the same run.

Common air conditioning issues in Kensington
The property types and conditions in Kensington shape how a system should be specified and installed. These are the ones that come up most.
Body-corporate approval
Most blocks need written approval before an outdoor unit goes up. We provide the specification, noise data and placement drawing strata will ask for.
Noise limits to neighbouring units
Outdoor units near a neighbour's bedroom window cause more disputes than any other part of the job. We check clearances and select for sound power, not just capacity.
Common property penetrations
Running pipework through common property has rules. We plan the route before quoting so there are no surprises at approval stage.
Body-corporate approval
Apartment installs in Kensington almost always need strata approval for the outdoor unit and for any penetration through common property. We supply the specifications and mounting details committees ask for, and can advise on what by-laws typically allow.
Balcony placement, noise and clearances
Where the outdoor unit can go is often the whole question in a unit. We select quieter units, respect minimum clearances to neighbouring balconies and windows, and use brackets appropriate for balcony or wall mounting.
Condensate drainage
Indoor units produce condensate that has to drain somewhere — in an apartment that means planning a route to an approved drain, not onto a neighbour’s balcony. It’s designed in from the start on every Kensington unit install.
Cooling several rooms from limited outdoor space
Most Kensington apartments have room for one outdoor unit at best. A multi-head system runs two or more indoor units from a single outdoor unit, which is usually the right answer for a two- or three-bedroom apartment.

Kensington air conditioning FAQs
Do I need strata approval for air conditioning in Kensington?
Almost always, yes — the outdoor unit usually sits on common property or an external wall. We give you the model specification, sound data and a placement plan to submit, and we work to whatever the by-laws allow.
Can you install without drilling through common property?
Sometimes. It depends on where the outdoor unit can go and how the line run reaches it. We work that out at the assessment and tell you honestly what the building will allow.
Do I need body corporate approval to install air conditioning in my Kensington apartment?
Yes, in nearly every building — for the outdoor unit, and for any drilling through walls or slabs that count as common property. We provide the specifications strata committees usually request.
Can I air-condition multiple rooms with one outdoor unit?
Yes. A multi-head split system runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit, which suits Kensington apartments where balcony or wall space is limited.
What about noise for my neighbours?
Unit selection and placement handle most of it — quieter models, correct clearances and vibration-isolating brackets. We size and position the outdoor unit to stay within the noise limits strata schemes and councils apply.
