Air conditioning Maitland

Maitland is about half an hour up the road from our Mayfield workshop, and its summers run hotter than ours by a good margin. We fit and look after air conditioning from the old streets of Central Maitland and Morpeth to the new estates at Thornton North and Lochinvar. Pricing a new system costs you nothing.

Air conditioning in Maitland 2320

A January afternoon in Maitland averages about 30°, nearly five degrees warmer than Nobbys, so a unit sized by a coastal rule of thumb comes up short here.

Maitland sits on the Hunter River about 27 km inland from our workshop. The old Maitland Visitors Centre weather station averaged a January maximum of 30.2°C over its 1997 to 2016 record, against 25.6°C at Nobbys on the coast. In July its nights fell to an average of 5.5°C, where Nobbys sits at 8.5°C. Central Maitland keeps its heritage houses, like Brough House on Church Street and Cintra House on Regent Street, and the centre sits behind a levee on the right bank of the river. The February 1955 flood was the worst in the city's recorded history, and newer estates like Gillieston Heights were cut off by floods in 2015 and 2022. The census counted 89,597 people in 2021, up 14.8% in five years, and council names Thornton North, Aberglasslyn, Lochinvar, Farley, Anambah and Gillieston Heights as the places new housing is going.

23What we do here

Air conditioning work around Maitland

  • Older homes in Central Maitland and Morpeth

    High ceilings and solid walls hold the day's heat well into the evening, so we size these rooms by their volume as well as their floor area. The pipe run takes the least visible route, and the outdoor unit stays off the street front where the wall allows.

  • New estates from Thornton North to Lochinvar

    Usually a first system for a new house: a larger split for the open-plan living area and smaller ones in the bedrooms, or zoned ducted where the roof space suits it. We look at which way the living room faces before we quote, because a west-facing room on a February afternoon needs more capacity.

    Ducted Air Conditioning

  • Established streets in East Maitland and Rutherford

    Servicing and replacing wall units that have done many summers already. When a repair would cost a big share of a new unit, we price both side by side.

23Questions

Maitland: common questions

How long does it take you to reach Maitland from Mayfield?

Central Maitland is about half an hour from our workshop without traffic. East Maitland is a few minutes closer, and Rutherford a few minutes further, out to the west along the highway. Planned work is booked for a set morning, and for a breakdown we tell you the arrival time and the call-out fee on the phone.

Do you do air conditioning in Rutherford and East Maitland?

Yes, both are part of our regular Maitland run. We install split systems and ducted, service existing units and repair breakdowns in Rutherford, East Maitland, Metford, Thornton and the streets around them. East Maitland is the closest of the two, and a new install quote is free in both.

Our Central Maitland house has very high ceilings. Does that change the size we need?

It does. Most sizing charts assume a standard ceiling, and a room with high ceilings has a lot more air to cool or heat for the same floor area. We measure the height on the quote visit and work out the load room by room.

Is reverse cycle worth it in Maitland, or should we just get cooling?

In Maitland we'd go reverse cycle almost every time. The Bureau's figures put the average July overnight low at around 5.5°C here, three degrees colder than the coast, so the heating side gets real use for months. A reverse cycle split heats and cools with one unit and one outdoor compressor, so you aren't paying for a second appliance.

We're building in Lochinvar. When should we talk to you about ducted?

Before the plasterboard goes up, if you can. At frame stage the ducts, outlets and return air grille can go exactly where they work best, and the ceiling never needs cutting. Your builder's electrician runs the new circuit for the unit, and we connect the system and commission it once the house is closed in.

Our street went under in a past flood. Where should the outdoor unit go?

Up high enough to stay dry. On a low block we mount the outdoor unit on a wall bracket or a raised stand above the level the water reached last time, rather than on a slab at ground level. Ask Maitland City Council for the flood information on your lot before the quote, and we'll set the height from that.
