Just a quick question. Since I want to add the evap cooling later down the track, do I need to ask our builder to provide a provision for it? Because our builder will charge us a few hundred$ for this provision. I think this is a little bit pricey for this kind of provision... Let say if I don't have this provision, then what happens when I want to install Evap cooling in my house? *confused* Cheers, Re: Need to add provision for evap cooling? 2Feb 17, 2009 12:52 pm We asked about this and the A/C guys wanted to do it all after handover. The main thing is that they need water in the roof and power- both easy in our place. For the gas heating they wanted a high capacity gas line in the roof- we had this also. Otherwise nothing required, no cost difference for putting it in afterwards.

A few hundred dollars doesnt sound too bad Re: Need to add provision for evap cooling? 4Feb 17, 2009 1:27 pm We were going to do this at a cost of $150.
I asked around and the aircon people will do this for you as part of the installation and no greater cost. They only need normal power and water. If you get refrigerated they need 3 phase however.

I think you will find that that depends on the unit you get 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
