I was just wondering where you decided to put the aircon? www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Where to place split sytem aircon? 3Dec 13, 2009 12:17 pm Our house isn't finished yet - hopefully we will be in and organising the install around Feb! Re: Where to place split sytem aircon? 4Dec 13, 2009 5:19 pm We put ours over the doorway in our last house.This was in the middle of the house. We found that it was almost impossible to get the air to go into the rooms behind the doorway, even when the vents were pointed straight down. www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Where to place split sytem aircon? 5Dec 13, 2009 10:42 pm I'd be putting it on the garage wall above the dining area. Re: Where to place split sytem aircon? 7Dec 30, 2009 10:22 am If you put it on the garage wall (above the dining area), there will be a reasonably higher installation cost charged as they will have to pipe it through the wall to get it outside. Even though its not a huge hassle, they seem to love charging a nice premium for this trouble. Also make sure they install the piping during the construction, otherwise they may have to hack at your walls or run the tubing on the inside of the garage wall (which looks ugly).
