Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3676Apr 11, 2013 7:21 pm [quote="K4neX"]I have a question regarding ducted air-conditioning for those who have installed with Carlisle or from a different company after hand-over. What brand and model do you have, how are you finding it? Outdoor unit and indoor unit noise level? Cooling and heating performance? Running cost? I am tossing between getting it from CH or get Daikin / Bonaire / Mitsubishi after hand-over, but there are no reviews /quote] Hi There - we had the provisions installed by Carlisle for refrig then got it installed after handover from another company (as we had read the reviews on here too RE: Dandy Air) It didn't save us any money and we actually had issues with the company that we used to install the unit leaving us with no cooling for Christmas day with 20 hot and bothered guests on a hot and humid day... If I had my time again I would have just got it all installed with Carlisle - price wise it was the same - and then that way I wouldn't have had to waste 3 days to stay home for install and then the other days waiting around for them to fix. Also - sound wise - the unit is outside our rumpus so not a big issue - I can live with the slight noise for the fact that it is actually cold on hot and humid days... you couldn't pay me enough to have evap cooling over refrig.... My 2 cents anyways - hope this helps!

Brivis or something else? How many KW in what size house? What did carlisle charge you to provide provisions for a/c? Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3678Apr 12, 2013 12:14 am walkz187 Hi Sleven I have a few question. what model a/c did you install via your own contractor? Brivis or something else? How many KW in what size house? What did carlisle charge you to provide provisions for a/c? Hi we had to install Brivis as that is what the provisions were for. We have a 17.1KW unit in a 36 square home (well its 29 square living) From memory provisions were apprx $5k and we signed 3 years ago so I'm assuming that the price may have gone up by now. Sleven Moved into our Atlantique MkII 36 by Carlisle Homes Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3679Apr 12, 2013 8:38 am Thanks sleven Is the 17.1kw powerful enough? How many zones do you have? And are you able to use the full power in 1 zone on really hot day to keep let's say downstairs cool during the day and upstairs at night? I'm looking at a 43 sq house with about 36sq living space. They have recommended the 17kw system. But I'm thinking I should go for the 20kw. Based on your exportable do you think the 17kw would offer enough power across 2 zones? Thanks Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3680Apr 12, 2013 3:39 pm At our contract appointment. Waiting while our CLE finds out the answers to our questions. Lol We had quite a few.
