I was looking for a deal to buy an aircon, came across fujitsu 2.5kw reverse cycle air con.

Currently HN giving $150 eftpos card which you can use at any eftpos. I called the good guys but they didnt match it, went to TGG store @hoppers crossing and the guy said he can reduce the price to $750 but can't match HN price (so it comes $600 after fujitsu cashback). The HN@ hoppers crossing didnt have it in stock. I paid the deposit, will get the unit in 3 weeks time, the rep gave me $150 eftpos card straight away which needs to be activated after 7 days of purchase.

This is part of Father's Day deals for 2018.

          @v1nn1e:

          Thanks to you both…I bargained a little and managed to bring it down to $800. I was happy enough with that. Could have got further down, but was in a bit of a hurry. Plus I was only getting one, so had less bargaining power.

          Still a bargain at that price! I'll pick it up tomorrow.

          You can still show the sales guy this receipt and get $50 refund.thats what I did, I initially paid 820$for each unit and then when I saw the $750 receipt, just before pickup I got 140$ refund for 2 units.Give it a try.

          Yes few quotes already and the one we down selected is for $525-$550 range.

  • CAPTCHHHA on 27/08/2018 - 18:04

    Looks like a good deal for my investment house. The HN eftpos card is an icing on the cake. To the people who already bought it, does the invoice say $868 ?

  • shutuptakemymoney101 on 27/08/2018 - 18:06

    It's available elsewhere also, not exclusive to HN.

    • nnsha1 on 03/09/2018 - 12:30

      So far the best quotes we able to get is in the range of $525-$550!

        That gives me an idea of how much I can try and push the price down, thanks heaps!

    I thought you could only buy air conditioners on days over 35 degrees. Thinking ahead is surely unaustralian.

  • placard on 27/08/2018 - 19:25

    Anyone help out with sizing? I've got a bedroom with dimensions of 3.6m x 3.5m. It has an ensuite but that is small. Summer sun does not hit the bedroom window.

    Would 2.5kw be sufficient? I also plan on putting it on the wall of the bedroom opposite the door so it can blow a bit of hot/cool air out of the bedroom and straight up the hallway. I don't expect it to cool other bedrooms, but if it takes the edge of a bit, that's enough.

    Here's a floorplan I found of a house for sale with the identical layout. They actually put an A/C exactly where I want to.

      2.5kW should be perfect however you need to consider the structure of the room. If your insulation is poor or the room faces west, a 3-3.5kW unit may be appropriate. If the room doesn’t face west and/or you have half decent insulation 2.5kW will be fine.

    placard: i'd say that'd be more that enough!

    I dunno how guys install these for under $800, I install them!

    Let's say it's a back to back install still gotta put the odu on something, slab, polyslab, wall mount (dont wall mount on timber, noisy!), even $500 really is not enough… We're talking a new power feed from the switchboard (cable, RCBO) for who knows how far and what route, conduit, electrical testing required to meet the AS, isolation switch, pressure testing (nitrogen @ 300psi), vac pumping it down under 500 micron, issue a CEC, plus the flaring, ducting, power to the IDU, liability… I'd not do a b2b cash for that price.. I've had power feeds to install to such installs cost more than $500 (at a friendly rate)!

    Nb. get your quote in writing, checkout the abn/acn, get a cec! If it fails under warranty period and it's not installed by someone licenced, to manufacturer specs (ie. torque the nuts to manufacturer spec) then good luck getting warranty claim!

    • picklewizard on 28/08/2018 - 10:09

      If I've got a mate that's an a-grade sparky that works for beer, and I provide the area to mount the unit (dynabolting a couple of suitable brackets to a wall), what would you expect the cost to come out to, roughly?

      Trying to determine if a second unit for the bedroom is worthwhile!

    • tastybaklava on 28/08/2018 - 10:11

      Plenty of reputable installers are doing it for $550 - $650 in Brisbane. I had a 7.1kW installed in my lounge, with a non back to back install that required conduit to be run down the wall behind the air con and out to the outside unit. Total cost: $650. Got the certificate and all.

      Seems like you might need to look at your business model to reduce your costs.

    • lgacb08 on 28/08/2018 - 16:56

      lol, i got fully qualified one install 2 of these, including removing the old wall unit out for a grand, each unit has its own dedicated circuit and nice switch, he even rearrange my switchboard and removed out those old disconnected CB and labelled them nicely. Sound like your business is on ozripping then.

      • AssociatedJuryWheel @ Harvey Norman on 29/08/2018 - 08:45

        $800 for a b2b - what are your actual equipment costs? Pipe, case, slab, external pipe cover? $100? $150 tops? How much can you get a sparkie to power it up? A good sparkie could do 3-4 b2b jobs in a day, maybe $200 ea? The rest is just your time. Lets say you want to get $100 p/h, the job takes 2-3 hours? So $500-$650 seems like a good rate for a strict back to back. If you can do 3 a day, earning $200 each, $600 a day doesnt sound too bad to me……

  • placard on 27/08/2018 - 21:19

    I've read a few bad reviews of the 2.5kW being noisy in the outdoor unit and vibrating through walls - has anyone else found this?

    • wtfnodeal on 28/08/2018 - 10:02

      Hit and miss. I have 3 Fujitsu only 1 has this vibrating noise but not that loud.

      • placard on 28/08/2018 - 10:13

        3 of this model?

        Is the vibrating in the wall from the outdoor unit and is it only when you initially turn it on and it is working hard or after it has ramped down?

        • wtfnodeal on 28/08/2018 - 10:21

          Only when It works hard. Not sure this model as I bought mine 3 years ago.

        • placard on 28/08/2018 - 10:46

          @wtfnodeal:

          I've heard the further apart the indoor and outdoor units are the less noisy they are. Is your noisy one got a long or short distance between indoor/outdoor units compared with the non-noisy ones?

      I got 4 installed this week. Mine are very quiet and can’t even tell it’s running. The outside units are quiet as well, you can obviously tell they are on when standing next to them but you wouldn’t hear it running from a distance. Very happy with the purchase

      • placard on 14/09/2018 - 09:09

        Are they back to back - what distance between indoor and outdoor units in piping? I'm about to get mine installed, Fujitsu say 3m min piping, which most back to back won't achieve, but most of the people I got to come and quote told me I don't need to worry about that requirement and that it will be fine.

        Thanks! Looking forward to having it installed.

        • Rahyne on 14/09/2018 - 10:42

          I’m in a two story house. So 2 units are back to back but outside unit is on the ground, So 4-5m of piping.

          Another is not back to back so is even further away than that.

          However the last unit in the bedroom is back to back as it’s mounted on the top of the bottom half of the house to the wall. I’d say about 2 meters of piping on that one. My bed is also against the same wall and I can’t hear the outside unit (only had it running at daytime so far).

      • andyken on 11/10/2018 - 21:22

        I got my 2 installed, mine was very noisy when it started, only occur on heating. sound like water gurgle noise with cracking sound on the pipe, but cooling is quite.

      Got the 5kw installed this week as a replacement of an old one, it's in the living room so not often that it's absolutely quiet in there with the tv going.

      With the tv going I can't hear the a/c going at all unless the fan is set to reasonably high. The outdoor unit is on the ground underneath a window and I can't hear that humming even when there's no sound in the house.

      Very happy with my purchase too, I'll probably look at getting the smaller one to replace the bedroom unit next time there's a sale.

  • placard on 18/09/2018 - 10:38

    Bloody hell the cash back from Fujitsu is annoying - they just replied saying "no installation address on invoice" WTF?

    Shouldn't you get the cash back regardless where it is installed? I guess I'll have to ask Harvey Norman to reprint?

    • Rahyne on 19/09/2018 - 16:19
