Hi guys,

Came across this gem thought others might be interested

http://www.binglee.com.au/kelvinator-kse35hrc-reverse-cycle-air-conditioner/

retail is $899 but if you enter the coupon code "DEAL1" the price goes to $499 plus shipping!

limited stock apparently so be quick!

That's a great deal dependent on what they sting you for delivery. The delivery estimator on the website is down at the moment.

I paid $499 for the 2.6kw reverse cycle from my local Retravision last year.

Hi Rooster,

I was charged $45 delivery in Sydney NSW

Assume you would have to get someone to install it too? Looks like a cheap addition to my granny flat build
Sorry don't know much about Aircons

You need a qualified installer to this for you. The installation can easily exceed the cost of this air-con but for a single storey back to back installation, it wouldn't be much more than $600. I believe you need certifications/qualifications to handle the gasses, perform the necessary electrical work, etc.

Ahh, might not be so worth it then

Maybe not - you're looking at around $1000 for the air-con and installation. I'd probably only consider it if the heat becomes absolutely unbearable during summer and if you benefit from the dehumidifying the air.

Sorry, I just re-read and saw "granny flat build". If you're adding it while installing, as saiman mentioned, it would be cheap, though presumably not free to include it. It's also the best time to install it. May only cost a couple of hundred on top of the unit price of $499.

Hi Menty,

If you are including the aircon as an addition to your granny flat build I would just get your sparky or builder to install it whilst they are doing everything else for nothing if not next to nothing

This is what I did with my build only difference was it also came with a free aircon unit

Watch out for the BASIX requirements! Certifier may not allow it if it wasn't in the original plan.

Would this aircon be enough? Or it won't Cool the lounge ?
