Getting a quote for a ~7kw split system install in country NSW.
Got three quotes, 2 are 4.5k and 1 is 4k. I was expecting to be quoted in the low to middle 3's.
All for install of a 7.1kw Mitsubishi unit. It's not back to back exactly, so I figure there's a few hundred bucks extra in that.
Is the market is telling me I'm naive? Wanted some confirmation of what others have got price wise. Should I consider other brand perhaps? Daikin, Fujitsu?

$1500 max

I paid about $3200 for a Mitsubishi Electric AP60 (6kw) supplied and installed in Blayney/Orange back in August, every other installer in the area only wanted to quote me for a Daiken which was $3600-3900.
it was a replacement and mine wasn’t back to back but they just moved the compressor so now it is.
So I wouldn’t say your quote is unreasonable but still more than it should probably cost
Helpful insight thank you
Brisbane MHI 7.1kW $1700 + $550 install
Of course country areas, transport cost will need to be factored in
I got a 7kw Mitsubishi installed for $3,900 a year or so ago.
After rebates, it was about $3,700
Edit: I should add I got it wall mounted and they took away the broken one. These things add to the price.
Scrap collectors will pay you to take the old one away.
Sorry, I meant they disconnected it, took it off the roof, patched the hole and then took it away. So that was $300.
Summer is due to start in less than 30 days.
your installing in spring so demand is higher. Next time do it in autumn or early winter to get it cheaper.
paid $1600 in Bendigo region for a 7.2 Fujitsu roof install, was a fair distance from the wall as it was interior. less than 12 months ago
Install only?
yep yep
All for install of a 7.1kw Mitsubishi unit. It's not back to back exactly, so I figure there's a few hundred bucks extra in that.
It comes down to the price of the unit, a 7.1kw Mitsubishi is ~$2k, so that means they are allowing ~$2k for the install.
So $4k for supply and install for a install that isn't back to back is a bit pricy, but not unexpected in the country areas. You always pay more in the country compared to he city.
I assume you are getting a new power circuit ran as part of this install as required for this sized unit.
Sounds reasonable for country.
Get an evaporative system
leave all windows open
just get the largest one they make
Expensive, but if you're in the country then you might be paying more for travel time.
Install only?? That's crazy.
Single/double story?
