INTERMEDIATE INSTALLATION GALLERY
PRICING EXAMPLE 1
- 7.1kw unit
- Piping and interconnecting electrical and duct lengths (extra 4 meters)
- Running pipes through flat roof space
Total of installation – $3100 inc GST
Notes:
- Client didn’t want outdoor unit to sit below window as it was a narrow walkway below.
- The solution was to take the pipes up into the roof, which is flat tin. Pipes had to go through two parts of the roof and then come down the back side of the house where the outdoor air conditioning unit was out of the way.
- It wasn’t mounted closer to the indoor unit on the roof because the client didn’t want to see it on the roof.
PRICING EXAMPLE 2
- 7.1kw unit
- Piping and interconnecting electrical (extra 2 meters)
- Roof bracket
Total of installation – $3070 inc GST
Notes:
- Client didn’t want the unit to sit on their decking so the solution was to mount the outdoor unit onto the roof. As you can see, getting a heavy air conditioner up onto to a pitched colourbond roof can be very dangerous. Making sure the right installer is installing your air conditioner in this situation is mandatory. Imagine one of these things falling off your roof!
PRICING EXAMPLE 3
- 9.0kw unit
- Piping and interconnecting electrical (extra 2 meters)
- Running pipes through bulk head (requires lifting roof)
Total of installation – $3770 inc GST
PRICING EXAMPLE 4
This installation was in a commercial office. There were 3 units in total. The first photo shows the indoor unit. Due to restrictions on locating the units on an external wall, the unit was mounted on an internal wall. No holes, ducts or pipes were allowed on the outside of the building.
Pipes were run internally straight up to the roof. Drain was taken outside to down the pipe. All the duct and drain were later painted to blend as best as possible.
All three outdoor units were mounted on the roof. The installation required:
- Lifting roof sheets
- Crane truck to lift units
- Roof brackets
- Minimising brick dust when drilling
- Working around office hours
- Minimal disruption to business
