Is that with gold plated ducts? Cooling the top floor should be your priority, because that gets much hotter than the ground floor. We can passively cool our ground floor on all but the hottest summer days, but the upper floor gets ridiculously hot while the ground floor stays comfortable.

Another option might be Multi-split refrigerated. I was originally quoted $20K+ for Daikin ducted (double storey 32sq). However, I learnt about the Multi-split refrigerated Daikin. With multi-split, I have 4 rooms upstairs but only having the aircon on 2 rooms. Also, downstairs I'm having the air-con in the lounge and 1 bedroom downstairs. Comes out to be $10K only. Multi-split aircon rough-in (hoses and electrical) installed at lockup stage (they worked the hoses into the frames). Indoor and outdoor units to be installed after handover. 13-08 Moved in 13-05 Build restart 13-04 VMIA compensation 12-08 Builder liquidation 12-03 Fixing 11-12 Lockup 11-11 Frame 11-09 Slab 11-09 Start 11-07 Contract 10-11 2K deposit 10-06 Titled land Hi Kristy Around $1.7-1.8m or around $4,600/sqm. if you PM me your email I will send you a break up in a spreadsheet so you can get an understanding of the costs for… 1 9925 1 4560 there is a few calculators you can use if you just google it 7 7529 |
