Trusted by Blue Mountains Locals
Honestly couldn't recommend enough. Called due to issues with my investment heating and he was more than helpful. Communication was amazing the whole way throughout! Thanks again for everything
Zoe Walther
We had a great experience with Jacob and Betar Air, replacing our ducted gas heating with four split system air conditioners. He was happy to talk through our options and the details when visiting for quoting, and answering questions on the phone afterwards. The quote was price competitive compared to other quotes. Install went smoothly and a couple of extra things were included. Jacob was happy to talk about any concerns we had, and the finished product works great and looks neat. Thanks again!
Michael Houghton
From first contact (even on a weekend evening when I wasn't expecting a response until Monday) to problem fixed, Jake is absolutely brilliant. Fixed my central heating issue with ease! Prompt, brilliant communication through the whole process, reliable, honest, polite and extremely professional. Will recommend to everyone without hesitation.

Air Conditioning & HVAC — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about air conditioning, gas heating and HVAC services in the Blue Mountains, Western Sydney and Central West NSW.
Who is the best air conditioning company in the Blue Mountains?
Betar Air is a locally owned, award-winning air conditioning company based in Winmalee, Blue Mountains NSW. They are ARC-licensed (AU068727), Blue Mountains Business Awards winners, and authorised installers for Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Braemar. They service Katoomba, Springwood, Penrith, Bathurst and all surrounding suburbs. Call 0452 278 411 for a free quote.
How much does air conditioning installation cost in NSW?
Air conditioning installation costs in NSW vary based on system type, home size, and existing ductwork. A single split system typically costs $1,200–$3,500 installed, while ducted air conditioning ranges from $8,000–$18,000+ depending on the number of zones and home size. Betar Air provides free, no-obligation quotes across Blue Mountains, Western Sydney and Central West NSW.
What is the best air conditioner for the Blue Mountains climate?
For the Blue Mountains' alpine climate with sub-zero winters and hot summers, a reverse-cycle inverter split system rated for operation at -15°C or below is ideal. Brands like Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries offer strong cold-climate performance. For whole-home heating, ducted gas central heating (Braemar) is the most reliable option for Katoomba, Blackheath and Mt Victoria elevations above 1,000m.
How often should I service my air conditioner?
Air conditioners should be serviced annually, ideally before summer for cooling systems and before winter for heating. In the Blue Mountains, where winters are harsh and summers can be hot, annual servicing ensures efficiency, extends system life, and maintains manufacturer warranty. Betar Air provides professional AC servicing across Blue Mountains, Western Sydney and Central West NSW.
What areas does Betar Air service?
Betar Air services Western Sydney (Penrith, St Clair, St Marys, Kingswood, Emu Plains), the Blue Mountains (Katoomba, Springwood, Leura, Blackheath, Wentworth Falls, Blaxland, Glenbrook, Winmalee), and Central West NSW (Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, Mudgee, Oberon, Blayney, Cowra). Over 30 suburbs covered.
Where We Work — and Why the Local Climate Matters
Betar Air is based in Winmalee and holds ARC refrigerant handling licence AU068727. We're a government-approved contractor and an authorised installer for every major brand, which means the system we recommend is the one that suits your building — not whatever we happen to stock.
Blue Mountains
From Glenbrook up to Mount Victoria, we work across the full range of mountain conditions. Upper-mountain suburbs like Katoomba, Leura, Blackheath and Mt Victoria sit above 1,000m and regularly drop below zero, so we specify cold-climate rated reverse-cycle systems or Braemar ducted gas heating. Lower-mountain suburbs such as Springwood, Winmalee, Blaxland and Glenbrook are milder, where a single well-sized inverter split system usually covers the whole year.
Western Sydney
Penrith and its surrounds record some of the hottest summer temperatures in the Sydney basin, with days above 40°C now routine. We size systems with extra capacity for west-facing rooms and favour inverter models that hold efficiency under sustained load. Many newer estate homes in St Clair and St Marys already have ducting roughed in, which makes a ducted upgrade far more affordable than owners expect.
Central West NSW
Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, Mudgee and Oberon face genuine extremes — frosty winters and hot, dry summers. The dry summer air makes evaporative cooling unusually effective and cheap to run here, while winter almost always calls for gas ducted heating as the primary heat source. We also handle commercial refrigeration for the region's wineries, cafés and agricultural properties.
Licensing & compliance
All refrigeration and air conditioning work is performed under ARC licence AU068727. Gas work is carried out by our in-house licensed gas fitters or by authorised licensed subcontractors under our supervision, in full compliance with NSW gas fitting regulations and AS/NZS 5601. We are authorised Braemar technicians and Regency Gas spare parts dealers, and every installation carries its full manufacturer warranty.
