Summer is ending up here in the Northern hemisphere, so I’m going with this being in New Zealand, so it’s about $4600 US.

Starting at 8 grand?? Seems pricey and I live in a place with expensive labour

An ad in NZ would be in ºC that “75” looks suspiciously ºF.
We’d also more likely call it a “heat pump” rather than “A/C”.
Though $8000 does sound about right for South Pacifuc Pesos.

Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.

Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.

AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.

Then I guess I’m never replacing mine. It’s not like HVAC technology has advanced much in the past 100 years, beyond the switch to R-134A from Freon. Most tech advancements are made on the thermostat-end. The system itself is ridiculously simple; usually just 3-4 wires (A/C on/off, Heat on/off, fan on/off, and sometimes a separate power wire).

Heat pumps are the way to go. Or conditioning air with well water temps or ground temps other ways, 50 degrees year round 6 feet down usually.

…and I’m not sure about getting an A/C from someone that can’t grammar, either

It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.

Which is even worse, as I’d expect it to be half that installed
