    Tenant has requested for an A/C Unit

    It's a fact of life that in Queensland you need at least 1 AC somewhere in the house for people to escape the heat. I put 2 in my rental property as soon as we bought as they are good tenants and the extra 15 bucks a week help cover it and our pm has had harder times to fit good tenants in...

    Yes, I am a tradie, actually dual refrigeration/air mech and electrician and property investor. Our buisiness handles service calls from 2 south side real estates and we always call the tenant to discuss the issues with the air cons or electrical before attending. About 80% of the time we need...

    are these split aircons reasonable good?

    Yep, good luck with them. Sounds like they will never be happy with anything. I highly doubt that they would noticed any temp change from what you described. I have only come across a couple and it's more to do with the unit getting too hot and going into overload protection or a complete...

    are these split aircons reasonable good?

    Hi Wylie, It's probally due to them hearing the machine under the floor I would suspect. They may notice some temp, but I highly doubt it from what you describe and would say its more noise related to them. What brand is it ? It's probally under one of the bedrooms I suspect. Under wooden...

    are these split aircons reasonable good?

    You could put fixed speed compressor tech in if you wanted but why bother now when inverters are basically the same cost. All the big manufacturers only put out inverter systems now as they basically have fallen to same pricing as the old fixed speed stuff. Another tip is to go with big name...

Make sure you go for a good brand, like Fujitsu, Mitsubishi electric or Panasonic for efficiency ,performance and future parts availability. It's also the safest form of heating in...

    Fan or Aircon?

    Extra $450 for another head unit in the bedroom.? Must of been some no name brand and even then the installation on the second head unit would have been at least $450 extra. So more than likely going on even capacity to multi head to single head systems you would have been at least a grand more...
