My split AC unit cost me 1350€ with installation. 8k USD is ridiculous.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
“starting at” and the thing in the front is a simple unit that shouldn’t cost you more than 2k.
UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yeah mine was like 10k but it’s for central heating.
SirQuack@feddit.nl 1 year 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 1 year ago
We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Australia?
24_at_the_withers@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
My aren’t 😔
muhyb@programming.dev 1 year ago
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
NABDad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Deleted my comment because I saw you beat me to it.
muhyb@programming.dev 1 year ago
That’s okay though. Sometimes I do the same and don’t even notice it already exists.
ThePrimitive@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Yeah, sorry, we made a typo. It’s actually $17,999.00.

bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, is it!?
MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That took me way too long to notice
ceenote@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I was like “Yeah, starting at $8k is pretty bullshit”
argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yep, I was like ‘so what?’ Ooohhhhhhh….
hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 year 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 1 year ago
It’s even underlined 😭
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
i dont think that will fit in a pc case
naticus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not with that attitude
finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Every now and then, I can’t help but wonder
Is me’s AC ready for Summer?
Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
There’s probably a lot of wannabe crypto bros in your area
guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 1 year ago
That’s just how you know it’s really trustworthy!
udon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hm, not su’re yet!
DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
As we boil the plant don’t expect prices to come down.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
So that’s what all that onlinetracking is for.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Starting at 8 grand?? Seems pricey and I live in a place with expensive labour
bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Which is even worse, as I’d expect it to be half that installed
b3an@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Upbubpbubpbup! $7,999 and only valid if you have this giant tacky coupon with you 🤣
toddestan@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.
drmoose@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.
ramble81@lemmy.zip 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
…and I’m not sure about getting an A/C from someone that can’t grammar, either
