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

  source

  • bitchkat@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    source

    • usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

      Upbubpbubpbup! $7,999 and only valid if you have this giant tacky coupon with you 🤣

    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.

    source

    • Psythik@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

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

  source

  • SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s probably for an HVAC system that runs trough the entire building. Not just a unit that cools one room.

    source

    • zqps@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      “starting at” and the thing in the front is a simple unit that shouldn’t cost you more than 2k.

      source
    • UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah mine was like 10k but it’s for central heating.

      source
  • SirQuack@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    My dual head split ac (is that correct? Two indoor units, one outdoor) was 2000 eur with installation.

    That price is truly ridiculous, but maybe they’ll make a typo in the final invoice in your favour.

  • jordanlund@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.

  Australia?

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

  • tiredofsametab@fedia.io ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    Deleted my comment because I saw you beat me to it.

      That’s okay though. Sometimes I do the same and don’t even notice it already exists.

      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!”.

  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.

  It’s even underlined 😭

  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.

  Every now and then, I can’t help but wonder

  Is me’s AC ready for Summer?

  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.
