Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Avanti 2.5kw Reverse Cycle Split System SRK25ZSA-W for $884 at wholesaleaircon.com.au with pick up available in Sydney and Melbourne warehouse. Seems to be free shipping in Sydney.

10% price beat at Bunnings brings it to $795.60 (+ applicable delivery, if any)
$100 cashback via redemption from MHIA current promo brings it down to $695.60.

The Bunnings clerk said they don't match wholesale prices, but the website clearly says "Direct To The Public At Wholesale Prices" in the bright red banner at the top of the website.

If you're like me and aren't in either Sydney or Melbourne, you can try what I did at my local Bunnings. Pull up the item on your phone, select New South Wales as your state and Sydney postcode 2000 to generate free shipping estimate.

Go back and change the state to the one you're in and clear the postcode or type in your own, tap somewhere empty on the screen so the postcode box isn't highlighted, then show the clerk the $0 shipping on the bottom.

YMMV, but it worked for me.

    Well done. How about installation? Do you using Bunnings air conditioning installation service and how much for the quote if back to back single storey?

    It is quite tough to have Bunnings beat price. They have lots of exclusive Terms when they say No.

      My quote for install was $865 from Bunnings directly. Local AC installers advertising on FB marketplace wanted around $750. I posted an ad on airtasker, managed to get someone to install and connect to electrical supply, fully licensed and insured for $500.

      Our install is single storey, brick veneer, back to back, floor mounted, straightforward install.

      • Yawhae on 17/02/2023 - 07:50

        Did they install this Aircon on a dedicated circuit with an RCD or just tap off the closest power point?

        • BargainMe on 17/02/2023 - 08:13

          They have a good installation cost calculator if you scroll down in the left column:

        • NoApostrophePlurals on 17/02/2023 - 12:28

          They haven't come yet, but its going to be tapped off the closest power I'm going to assume. Now I think I should research this more. How bad is tapping off closest power?

          • Yawhae on 17/02/2023 - 19:48

            @NoApostrophePlurals: In most circumstances it's fine to tap off the power circuit, however, the AS3000 wiring rules says that manufactures specifications must be followed. I am yet to see a installation manual from any of the major brands that don't ask for a dedicated circuit.

            Worst case is that a manufacturer may refuse a warranty claim, it may also cause nuisance tripping.

            In short the risk is low and ultimately would fall back on the licenced contractor as latent conditions if problems arose.

    Yeah wholesale aircondition is crap honestly, buy from bunnings much better customer service dude

    BTW shipping with Wholesale airocn even advertised free doesn't mean it is going to be free

      Yeah same. I have a normal avanti at the moment but gonna buy plus version for next 2 rooms. Worth the small premium i think.

      • BargainMe on 17/02/2023 - 11:43

        What makes it better?

        • Xizor on 17/02/2023 - 13:13

          More energy efficient, slightly better looking, i think it might be a tad quieter and a motion sensor to make the auto modes work better. Not massive things id argue already owning a base model Avanti in our main bedroom but enough for me to bite.

    • aleayr on 17/02/2023 - 21:38

      We have the Avanti Plus in our bedroom and are looking to go back a model to Avanti for other rooms.

      It has a lot more plastic moving parts and is quite noisy moving louvres and the front panel turning off and on - the plastic creaking would wake our kids.

      We have a Bronte in the living area with the same louvre design as the Avanti and it's night and day difference in terms of noise between the models (Bronte vs Avanti Plus). Just seems to be a simpler mechanism.

  • keepsake on 17/02/2023 - 10:35

    Bunnings clerk you talk to does not know what he talking about. Their price match policy does not indicate anything about wholesale.

    Price policy

    Our lowest prices policy means that if you find a competitor's lower price (including GST and delivery charges) on the same in-stock item that's available for same-day delivery or collection, we'll beat it by 10%. This excludes trade quotes, stock liquidations, commercial quantities and Marketplace products.

    Our Price Policy also applies online to products sold by Bunnings. Please contact Customer Support at [email protected] to process the price guarantee and place your order.

  • rokufan on 17/02/2023 - 16:31

    I already purchased from Bunnings a couple of days ago. Do you think they will refund the 10% price beat?

    • NoApostrophePlurals on 17/02/2023 - 17:49

      Buy another one, refund the one you first bought no questions asked. They won't do a price beat refund. You're creating too much confusion for most of the staff. Why risk it.

    Manipulating the shipping postcode is just plainly & simply being dishonest.

      Yes, it is. You should see the rest of my trainwreck of a life. You might get blisters on your ass for how long it'll take to judge it from your high horse.

  • Rammus69 on 17/02/2023 - 18:30

    Clowns at Bunnings refused to price match because pickup "is USUALLY within 24 hours" and not always within 24 hours.

    Their policy is to only match same-day delivery or collection.

    This is the Kingsgrove branch.

        I asked about the Melbourne pick up location, since I was able to find the NSW pick up location.

        • NoApostrophePlurals on 26/02/2023 - 01:17

          Oh sorry, mind blank, I didn't even read what I copy and pasted! I thought I saw a Melbourne address before, but obviously not!

    • NoApostrophePlurals on 26/02/2023 - 00:27

        Can't price beat at Bunnings, since they updated their price to match about 4 hrs ago.

        • NoApostrophePlurals on 26/02/2023 - 01:17

          Still shows $899 for me. What's your area?

          Edit: in in NSW, price still $899. Tried VIC postcodes and it's $884..

        • BargainMe on 28/02/2023 - 11:10

          You can still get them to match to the 2.0KW unit instead if that suits you

  • cami087 on 09/03/2023 - 18:01

    Thanks op, managed to price beat in melb. Depending which store you pick some come up as $899 and some as $884
