Re: ducted aircon costs 8Nov 11, 2012 10:24 am There are costs other than running the three-phase power to the meter box - you'll need an upgraded meter that works with three phase, additional circuit breakers and if I were you I'd be wanting surge protection on your electrical board as well (you'll also need an isolator point for the aircon unit too). Make sure all of these things are included in whatever price you are paying. Some people apparently have nothing better to do than comment on other people's sigs. Re: ducted aircon costs 9Nov 11, 2012 5:53 pm There is two chances of getting a unit like that for around $4k, slim and none! The $4k may be the unit, but no installation (duct work, pipe work, electrical work, zone motors etc) plus the upgrade for 3 phase power, which means double the cable between the street and house! It would all be buried in the contract somewhere that's not obvious! But the second price does sound reasonable for an installed unit! 2 Re: ducted aircon costs 11Nov 12, 2012 1:56 pm TO be fair, I am going to stick up for Clarendon on this one. We had one of those $995 promotions which included some things that I think should not even be an option (treated frames for one). It also included the aircon. At tender we were advised that this was a 2 zone 6.0hp brisvis box. Hugely underpowered for our house in my opinion. And two zones is useless for such a large house. Anyway.... we aced how much we would be credited back, and to my surprise we were credited $10k. As you will see from my blog we are moving along quite well now and looking forward to getting our actron ESP plus system in. which is about $14K (19HP- 7 Zones)! If you are looking at action I found east coast air highly competitive if you are in the right area.

Sounds Like 19kwatt to me whic is very similar to the 6hp the builder was putting in. Re: ducted aircon costs 13Nov 14, 2012 7:18 am Sorry, my bad You are right, both are in KW's, however upon checking it is 9kw and 19kw Dan The unit normally clips into a metal plate screwed to the wall, either plate is not flush, or unit not hooked in and could be hanging from the pipes partly, either might… 2 16262 retail its around double the price of a similar sized actron/dakin system from memory, They are excellent systems though. But with how builder gouge on AC/heating, you… 4 16897 Hi all, sorting out the ducted air con for a 350sqm double story house. Does this placement sound reasonable to you?
