thanks kicks:)

Though do ducted refrig air con units cost more to install?? My budget is only $3,600:(

I would love to install the reverse cycle wall units – though the design of the house doesn’t really cater for this:(

thanks

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your input:)

After doing some research, and reading your comments – it’s clear that wall mounted reverse cycle units are the best way to go. These units seem very popular and are fairly easy to install.

I actually priced up the house using a 3hp Mitsubishi (26sv) for $1450 and another 1hp unit in the front of the house. However the problem I’m having is the installation location, as these units have to be placed on an external wall. (If you place them on an internal wall then you have to run the cables etc through to an external wall – where the fan is)

All suitable external walls in the house have large windows from the floor to the ceiling. There is one suitable wall – though the air con company was saying that the unit wouldn’t work well there as it wouldn’t allow for much flow of the air.

This is why I’ve gone done the road of ducted air con.

Unfortunately I only have a budget of $3,600 for air con, so ducted refrigerated will be too expensive to install. Plus I’ve heard they cost more to run? (the ducted versions).

I had a couple of quotes yesterday which came between $3,445 – 4,200.

My problem now is selecting the best brand:)

The cheaper quotes recommend using a “Coolair” unit. Has anyone had a Coolair unit installed? Does anyone reccomend other units??

Derek, I’ve heard that if you install air vents at the other end of the ceiling this allows the hot air to escape the house – eg, without having to leave the windows opened slightly.

Cheers guys!

thanks purple kiss:) I just got off the phone to Ryan – he’s sending out a quote as we speak:)

Do you mind me asking what air con unit you installed? Was it a Cool breeze system?

This is what he recommended…

Thanks Jeff,

When they renew, will this renewal be based on the original lease, or is the lease usually re-negotiated?

Cheers

Hi Myydarl,

Yeah, Scott has given me a quote on getting a QS report done on the property – however I thought I would ask to see if anyone has produce this info in a DIY format? rather than paying for a professional to write a report up…

cheers

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies!

Thecrest – what your saying makes sense:) I think I’ll go with that – i’ll put the rent up to $175 – then in the summer approach her about the air conditioner etc.

cheers guys!
