Air conditioning Singleton

Singleton is our longest regular air conditioning run, about 75 km and an hour each way from Mayfield, so we're upfront about how we fit it in. Installs and services go onto set Singleton days, a breakdown gets the first technician we can send, and the quote for a new system costs nothing.

Long run out to us, but they quoted it straight and turned up when they said. The zoning means we only cool the end of the house we're in.

23Working in Singleton

Air conditioning in Singleton 2330

Singleton averages close to 32° on a January afternoon and just over 4° on a July night, and the heating half of a reverse cycle system is the half people here tend to underrate.

Singleton sits on the banks of the Hunter River, with a courthouse from 1841 and homesteads older still nearby, including Neotsfield from 1828 and Baroona from 1829. The river has flooded the town badly twice in living memory, in 1955 and 2007, and an embankment went up after the first. Coal mining is the largest employer, with about a quarter of the local workforce, and the army's Lone Pine Barracks lies about 8 km south of town. The Bureau of Meteorology's Singleton STP station averaged a January maximum of 31.8°C over 2002 to 2018, six degrees above Nobbys, and a July minimum of 4.2°C, where Nobbys holds 8.5°C. The town's coldest recorded morning was minus 4.2°C in August 1994, and frost is a regular part of an Upper Hunter winter. Out past the town, toward Broke, Bulga, Jerrys Plains and Camberwell, the blocks get bigger and the sheds and granny flats often want cooling of their own.

23What we do here

Air conditioning work around Singleton

  • Homes in town and Hunterview

    Reverse cycle splits and ducted sized for frosty mornings as much as for summer. We check a unit's heating capacity at low outdoor temperatures before we recommend it, because some models lose a lot of their output once it gets near zero outside.

    Ducted Air Conditioning

  • Houses on mine and shift rosters

    With mining the town's biggest employer, plenty of houses have someone asleep through a hot afternoon after a night shift. We fit quiet indoor units in those bedrooms, set the timer and keep the outdoor unit away from the bedroom wall.

  • Acreage toward Broke and Jerrys Plains

    Splits for granny flats, home offices and sheds on rural blocks, where the outdoor unit is often in a dusty spot and the pipe run can be long. We connect the unit under our licence, and if the shed needs a new circuit, we arrange a licensed electrician for that part.

23Questions

Singleton: common questions

You're based in Newcastle. How do you schedule jobs in Singleton?

Installs, services and quote visits are grouped onto set Singleton days, so we're not driving an hour each way for one job. A breakdown is different: ring us, and we tell you straight away when the first available technician can get to Singleton and what the call-out fee is.

Why does our outdoor unit stop heating and let off steam on frosty Singleton mornings?

That's the defrost cycle. On a cold, damp morning ice builds up on the outdoor coil, and the unit pauses heating for a few minutes to melt it off. It's normal, and the heating comes back on by itself. If it defrosts every few minutes all day, or the coil stays white with ice, ring us, because that points to a fault.

Is reverse cycle worth it in Singleton if we already have a wood heater?

Plenty of Singleton homes run both. The wood heater warms the main room on the coldest nights, and a reverse cycle split takes the bedrooms or the far end of the house, where the fire's warmth doesn't get to. It does the summer cooling as well.

Can you put a split system in a shed or granny flat near Broke or Bulga?

Yes. A shed or granny flat usually suits one reverse cycle split. If there is already a suitable circuit there, we connect the unit to it ourselves. If it needs a new circuit from the switchboard, we arrange a licensed electrician to run it first. Tell us how far the shed is from the house when you ring.

How far out of Singleton do you travel?

We regularly work in Singleton, Hunterview, Singleton Heights and Branxton, and out to Broke, Bulga, Jerrys Plains and Camberwell on our set days. Further than that, ring and ask, and we'll tell you on the phone whether we can get to you, and on which day, before anything is booked.

Does the dust on a rural block near Singleton affect the outdoor unit?

It can. Dust from dry paddocks and dirt roads clogs the outdoor coil, which makes the compressor work harder. On a dusty block we service the outdoor unit once a year, clean the coil, and, when we install, keep the unit out of the path of road dust where the block allows.
