Need to make a decision this week so under the pump to choose, but no pricing is available as yet.. Hard to quote on a house that is not built yet.... Just spoke to one installer today who said we can get away with single phase electricity if we want to run 2 zones , living areas during the day and bedrooms at night. Not sure if that is what we want as i think that i would like the whole house to be cool if possible. Vanderlay we are building a single storey like you. How many points are you getting? Love to get more info on what you were quoted - I am not sure what area you are building in to ask the same contractor to quote. We are building with Berwick with "H". PM me if you don't want to put the info on this thread. Thanks Just looked it up - was actually $7990 - so 8K really!! That inculdes ungrading the ducts and 3 phase. We have 10 points (4 in Bedrooms/2 in Rumpus/4 in open kitchen/lounge/dining/family) So we think covered pretty well except for bathrooms which can be shut off. Not sure who the contractor was that did it as it was organised through PD. Built Porter Davis "Dromana" 2007. Re: ANYONE HEARD/GETTING THIS - BRIVIS ICE SERIES COOLING? 13Oct 08, 2007 7:46 pm Just added all points up and der.... realised i can't add , we have 12 points not 10, ( 4 bedrooms, 1 study, 1 kitchen, 1 living, 1 rumpus/theatre, 1 bathroom, 1 ensuite, 2 family/dining area)
I was advised that to upgrade the ductwork it should be around $80 per duct then the cost of 3 phase power. 2 questions then: 1). Does anyone know how much it would cost to get 3 phase power for air con on a single storey? 2). Can 3 phase be installed after handover, or does it have to be done when the initial wiring is going in???? If anyone knows anyone who can get me a quote, please let me know. cooling 14Oct 08, 2007 7:47 pm hi phoenix executive heating and cooling in hallam do the heating and cooling for PD. ( their in the yellow pages) i got a quote for evaporitive cooling $4,375 through them. the brivis ice cooling sounds better might ask them how much they would charge. Re: ANYONE HEARD/GETTING THIS - BRIVIS ICE SERIES COOLING? 15Oct 08, 2007 7:55 pm Thanks Clath, i'll call them tomorrow and see how we go.
Much appreciated. Re: ANYONE HEARD/GETTING THIS - BRIVIS ICE SERIES COOLING? 16Dec 20, 2007 1:46 pm Well we've made our decision, well i did and hubby had to agree
we ARE getting our Brivis ICE system to 12 points.... It's more than what V paid but slightly less than Matt's. But Matt said it works beautifully in his 43 sq place, so i'm sure it will be fine for our 36 sq's..... Bit of negotiating required, but overall happy with the result..... or at least we will be when the hot weather comes in (after we get the house of course!!!!!!!!!!!!) Re: ANYONE HEARD/GETTING THIS - BRIVIS ICE SERIES COOLING? 18Dec 20, 2007 1:57 pm Thanks V, i tell you what, we came so close to taking the evap option....more than double the price for the ICE system $$$$ - and i don't want to know about running costs either...
But i sweet talked my way into getting it , so all is great now.... I have been told that i won't regret it...... i hope not!!!

On that first stinking hot day...when you walk into your COOL house, you'll say "AHHHHHH, so glad we got the ICE!" Built Porter Davis "Dromana" 2007. Re: ANYONE HEARD/GETTING THIS - BRIVIS ICE SERIES COOLING? 20Dec 20, 2007 2:11 pm Sad thing is, we will be moving in during the colder months, so i don't think we'll be able to crank it up anytime soon after moving in....
