My split AC unit cost me 1350€ with installation. 8k USD is ridiculous.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s probably for an HVAC system that runs trough the entire building. Not just a unit that cools one room.
zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
“starting at” and the thing in the front is a simple unit that shouldn’t cost you more than 2k.
UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yeah mine was like 10k but it’s for central heating.
SirQuack@feddit.nl 2 months 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 months ago
We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Australia?
24_at_the_withers@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nope, USA. The third infuriating thing about this flier.

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.

I believe the polite way to ask this in their culture is, “Do you come from the land down under?”
meejle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My aren’t 😔

Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
NABDad@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Deleted my comment because I saw you beat me to it.
muhyb@programming.dev 2 months ago
That’s okay though. Sometimes I do the same and don’t even notice it already exists.
ThePrimitive@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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!”.
Kissaki@feddit.org 2 months ago
Yeah, sorry, we made a typo. It’s actually $17,999.00.

Well, is it!?
MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That took me way too long to notice
ceenote@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was like “Yeah, starting at $8k is pretty bullshit”
argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yep, I was like ‘so what?’ Ooohhhhhhh….
hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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.
EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s even underlined 😭
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
i dont think that will fit in a pc case
naticus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Not with that attitude
finitebanjo@piefed.world 2 months ago
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.
Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Every now and then, I can’t help but wonder
Is me’s AC ready for Summer?
Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
There’s probably a lot of wannabe crypto bros in your area

That’s just how you know it’s really trustworthy!

Hm, not su’re yet!
DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
As we boil the plant don’t expect prices to come down.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
So that’s what all that onlinetracking is for.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Starting at 8 grand?? Seems pricey and I live in a place with expensive labour
bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Which is even worse, as I’d expect it to be half that installed
b3an@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Upbubpbubpbup! $7,999 and only valid if you have this giant tacky coupon with you 🤣
toddestan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 months ago
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.
24_at_the_withers@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.
drmoose@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.
ramble81@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 months 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).
Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 months ago
…and I’m not sure about getting an A/C from someone that can’t grammar, either
