This model is currently in circulation with a current FDYQ160/RQ160 model. As per the letter that they are giving out the model that was superseded with the FDYQ140 was the FDYQ160/RZQ150 model. The digits after the 160/150 refer to the year of the model. If you had the FDYQ160/RZQ150 model specified in your contract then you will have received the right model. If you have specified the FDYQ160/RQ160 then I suggest you have a look at what has been installed. Hope that helps. Re: Our Benham 33 journey 4413Feb 05, 2014 6:24 pm The Daikin website still lists the FDYQ160 and specifies this as a 16kW unit, not a 14.1kW unit like the Rawson birthday bonus brochure states. It doesn't really state what indoor unit you are going to get, and we haven't gone to contract yet as I'm STILL trying to sort out our #$ airconditioning with Rawson and am getting nowhere fast. Eventually got a quote out of them for a $5K upgrade from the 14kW (they didn't state what unit in the variation) to a FDYQ200. Massive amounts of searching for unit prices on these models don't even come near $5,000, even with 20% builders margin, so I'm at a loss as to where they get their pricing from. Don't even get me started on their pricing for extra ducts. A/C is nigh impossible to get in afterwards, so they've put Mr Brown Bear and I in a situation between a rock and a hard place. It concerns me greatly that they are installing the wrong units in people's places. If the unit is superseded for so long, why is it up on the company web site? Have I missed something completely here? Re: Our Benham 33 journey 4414Feb 05, 2014 7:27 pm As for big trade days we've found that since we paid our second last payment (2 months ago) the house has nearly come to a standstill. All that has happened is tiling... And we aren't even having the main wet areas tiled. Slow slow slow. Painters have finally turned up this week. They were booked to start last Wednesday but went AWOL on a private job.... Great work. Another delay to our handover date. Anyway the thing with the aircon is very concerning. The model in the contract is still in stock and available to buy online spa s far as I'm concerned, they can get one and fit it. Also, before they make a contract change like that, Rawson are supposed to contact you in writing and give you 3 days to decide what to do. At the end of the day - they're breaking the contract and need to sort themselves out... My patience has dried up - a 9 month admin period and a build that will more than likely take 40 or more weeks. I'm over it and I'll not be accepting anything less than what's in my contract.
