Harvey Norman has a deal on Fujitsu split systems, with most coming with a bonus $100 or $200 EFTPOS gift card.
In particular the ASTG09KMCA is on sale for $776 + $100 gift card. Probably not the cheapest it's ever been (thinking GG + eBay 20% off), but still a very good price on a Fujitsu.
Edit: that unit is no longer on sale but some others are, and the EFTPOS card bonus is still on.
Combine it with this (for those that have it saved to their Amex card) and the effective value is $576 for the 2.5kw system. Great price!!!

Almost as good as when the Fujitsu cash back offer was on:
Does Mark Taylor come around to your house to personally give you the Gift Card?
:)
This one is better than the bing lee offer yesterday!
How much does installation usually cost?
Depends. I got one in last week and cost me $750 (including an electrician but it was more than I expected
Electrician is not optional - it's a hardwired appliance with an isolator switch (and probably a new, dedicated circuit, too).
The installer must be a sparky and fridgie by law.
$750 installation cost through double brick in metro melbourne 2years ago. $750 purchase with a $200 card to spend so $1300 for a similar model Fujitsu. Has worked winter and summer in lounge room without a problem.Fairly quiet outside too.
this deal is expired - the ticketed and online price has gone up.
I managed to get one this morning though at this price at HN Nunawading.
Installation quoted at $649 from Harvey Norman but it's back-to-back in a 2nd story bedroom, maybe will be more?
Isn't this unit a bit small for a lounge? Calculations are for a 4x3m type room?
I chose the Fujitsu over Mitsubishi (899) mainly because of the EFTPOS card 100 discount, but I thought Fujitsu is still good? A panasonic 5kW has already broken on me.
Combine with the Fujitsu extra 2 year warranty for 7 years total which isn't bad given my Panasonic chip board broke at 5 years outside warranty. Still haven't fixed it yet, not sure it's worth $500 for no guarantee of fix.
I think Fujitsu is not as good as before
