It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 4 hours ago
Which is even worse, as I’d expect it to be half that installed

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.

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.
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
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).

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

Is I am ready for the season that’s almost over? No matter where you live, Summer is either almost over or over a season away.

Australia?

Nope, USA. The third infuriating thing about this flier.

I believe the polite way to ask this in their culture is, “Do you come from the land down under?”

I think a/c is mostly (entirely?) a north-american naming convention. It's been "aircon" in the other places I've lived in traveled.

There is no magic quantity of layers obfuscation that will hide the fact that you simply can not resist your obligatory urge to post “This!”.

I was like “Yeah, starting at $8k is pretty bullshit”

Yep, I was like ‘so what?’ Ooohhhhhhh….

Idk if I prefer spam emails or this, both are not environmentally friendly, maybe emails take less electricity, idk, but seeing mail ads feel less intrusive than most ad delivery methods used today.

Reminds me of the Tommy Lee Jones movie "Man of the House" (2005) where he installs a giant A/C to make the cheerleaders wear more clothes.

My split AC unit cost me 1350€ with installation. 8k USD is ridiculous.
