Well finally got it all done late last night, tenant very happy, body corporate now happy as well. Just need to fix up hole in outside brickwork with mortar cement and all good. Actually after all the pain a good outcome as the outdoor unit is in a nice shady well protected spot. Not...

Core drill hole went ok thank god should have done that in the first place, lucky came out between a light and another power connection with about 20cm in between. Not sure if can finish today, and tenant moves in tomorrow. Just have to work around it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Lesson...

True Bob, next one is townhouse or house with no BC!!!

saga continues... Thought I had told installer what to do.. But can't really blame him as he was trying to do the right thing by me. He put some flashing on the outside wall to hide the cables running down from near the kitchen window to where it comes out from underneath. Miss mad lady...

Looks like we have lift off, woops approval. Can locate the outside unit on one of the walls in the car park underneath our unit, then run the pipes under the balcony and to the split unit inside. Trying to offer up alternative solutions and be nice worked in the end! Thanks for...

balcony is only very small and unit will only just fit. Therefore will not have enough airflow around it and could overheat. I am asking them if part of the unit can be visible above the balcony line so it can get more airflow, we can bolt it onto the side wall or place on a stand etc so it...

Perp you are right that is their main concern, same with suggesting the car park walls underneath Looks like only balcony or the roof, or portable. There is one final option the rear of the building overhangs an unused garden bed and it not that high off the ground, will see if perhaps it...

badcliq - thanks for the advice will see how we go, have asked them for a further response otherwise pardon the pun have to air my concerns at the agm

Hi cut a long story short body corporate is refusing to allow installation of the outside unit for a split system air con. We had proposed putting on the outside wall near the kitchen window for our first level apartment which faces a side driveway. This was refused on the basis that they are...
