I am pretty sure an add-on unit should be available - easiest way in to look in the Brivis website. Thakns, I might get someone to come out and quote. I assume a large cost of installation are installing the ducts... Had a guy out, he said the space under the house is not sufficient, apparently you need 500mm for the bigger ducts... so he gave me a quote for 3 Lennox head units and one main power unit outside, to 3 rooms, $6,500. Does that sound reasonable? Re: add on air conditioner to ducted heating? 8Jan 24, 2014 11:48 am I just got a price for brivis ice add on cooling $9000 for the 15kw. 4 zones. upgrade the ducts ( bigger ) replace return grill and add 2 extra ducts this is for the new inverter model What do you guys think of the price?

I thought this was the only one in their range that had inverter technology. what was the model number they quoted. It would be great if they did have an add on cooler that had inverter technology. It would be even greater. Re: add on air conditioner to ducted heating? 10Jan 24, 2014 1:02 pm B STAR hi coolbri is it possible that they quoted you on the reverse cycle unit.

Hi B STAR The new range of add on coolers have inverter technology ( 18 and 22kw systems dont ) The model number they quoted me on is the 15kw system DONSC15Z7 What do you think of the price?

I spent around 12K for a whole new system (not the inverter type) around 5 years back. Its a shame you cant use the same ducts as this would save you a couple of thousand. to put things in prospective it will cost 4 K fo the cooling units on there own. Plus the install plus the new duct work. Re: add on air conditioner to ducted heating? 12Jan 24, 2014 3:22 pm I was quoted $7095 for the 13kw Add on Brivis cooling - inverter for 2 zones. I already upgraded the ducts within the heating portion so I think your price is good. The model I have quoted is DINXV13-7.
