Gree is the largest brand in the value tier and the least known to the public. The Chinese maker from Zhuhai claims that one in three air conditioners in the world comes out of its factories. It spends almost nothing on Australian advertising, which is why the name means little to homeowners and a lot to installers.
In Australia, Gree is distributed by Beijer Ref Australia, part of a refrigeration wholesale group that also holds the local warranty. That matters. When a value-tier unit fails in year five, the question is whether there is a real company here with parts on the shelf. With Gree the answer is yes.
A bedroom-size Gree split usually installs for about $1,600 to $2,000 in 2026. A 7 kW living-room unit runs about $2,400 to $3,100. That sits a touch above Hisense and Haier, and below Panasonic.
The warranty is the headline. Gree offers six years parts and labour, a year more than most brands in any tier. It is not a reason on its own to buy a unit, but it shows where the distributor expects the failure curve to sit.
The catch is visibility. Gree lives in the trade, so you will rarely see one on a showroom wall. That is fine if your installer sells them weekly and knows the warranty line by heart. It is a risk if they are trying one for the first time on your house. We can get you three local quotes from installers who know the brand.

Is Gree a good air conditioner brand?
Yes. Gree is a serious manufacturer with enormous volume, and in Australia it has a proper distributor behind it. Installers who fit it tend to describe it as solid budget kit: modern inverters, respectable efficiency, simple controls.
It is still a value brand. Expect more noise at high fan speeds than the Japanese premium units, plainer remotes and less long-run history in Australian conditions than Fujitsu or Daikin have built up over forty years. Buy it for the right rooms and it is good value.
How much does a Gree split system cost installed?
Typical 2026 prices for a standard back-to-back install, with the indoor and outdoor units on either side of the same wall:
| Size | Suits | Installed price |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 kW | Bedroom or study to about 20 m² | $1,600 – $2,000 |
| 3.5 kW | Large bedroom or small living, 20–30 m² | $1,800 – $2,300 |
| 5.0 kW | Living area, 30–45 m² | $2,200 – $2,800 |
| 7.0 kW | Open-plan living, 45–65 m² | $2,400 – $3,100 |

Gree warranty and service in Australia
Gree's Australian site states a six-year parts and labour warranty, held by Beijer Ref Australia, which says it stocks spare parts locally for the models it distributes and runs a technical support team.
The practical question is not the length of the warranty. It is who turns up. Gree service runs through its authorised dealer network, so the answer varies by town. In the capitals it is routine. In a smaller regional centre, ask the installer who handled their last Gree claim and how long it took. If you do not have an installer yet, get up to three local quotes and ask the same question.
- Get the model number and the warranty terms on the written quote.
- Register the unit if the warranty policy asks for it, and keep the tax invoice.
- Use a licensed installer with an ARCtick licence. A DIY or unlicensed install will not be covered.
Gree ranges: Lomo, Pular, Bora and the rest
Gree's Australian site lists several wall-split lines, from the entry Lomo and Pular inverters to the Bora and Bora-X units and the premium Hyper series. There is also a multi-split range and ducted reverse cycle.
The value case is strongest in the entry and mid wall units. As you climb to the premium Gree lines, the price gets close to Panasonic and the older Japanese names, and at that point the longer track record of those brands is worth weighing.
Gree vs Midea, TCL and the other value brands
| Brand | Bedroom split installed | Warranty | Main channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gree | $1,600 – $2,000 | 6 years parts and labour | Trade dealers |
| Midea | $1,500 – $1,900 | 5 years; 7 via Polyaire | Trade and direct |
| TCL | $1,500 – $1,800 | 5 years; 7 with registration | Retail and trade |
If the quotes are within a hundred dollars, Gree's longer standard warranty and trade-only supply make it the one we would take. If Midea comes through Polyaire with its seven-year cover, that levels it again. The fastest way to find out is to get up to three local quotes for the same room in both brands.
Where a Gree fits in the house
- Rentals and investment properties, where the six-year warranty covers most of a typical ownership stint.
- Spare rooms, studies and granny flats that run the unit a few hours a week.
- Budget multi-head jobs, where one outdoor unit serves two or three bedrooms.
- Less ideal for a light sleeper's main bedroom. Check the indoor unit's low-fan noise figure on the spec sheet, or look at our quiet bedroom picks.

Where it earns the money
- Six-year parts and labour warranty, longer than the five years most brands offer
- Distributed and backed in Australia by Beijer Ref, a refrigeration wholesaler with local parts and a technical team
- Sold mostly through trade dealers, so the person quoting it usually installs it regularly
- Full range from budget wall splits to multi-head and ducted
Watch-outs before you sign
- Little retail presence, so you rely on your installer's word more than on a store's returns desk
- Service coverage runs through the dealer network. Ask who does warranty work in your postcode
- Top-end wall units creep up toward Panasonic money, where the value case gets thinner
- Range names shift often. Quote the exact model number, not the series
Our verdict
The most trade-friendly of the Chinese value brands, with the longest standard warranty in the tier. Buy the mid-range wall units from a Gree dealer; skip the flagship if a Panasonic quote is close.
Whatever the badge, sizing and install quality decide how it feels to live with. Check your postcode's rebate and get quotes from up to three licensed local installers to compare.
FAQ
Gree questions
Is Gree a good brand of air conditioner?
Yes, as a value brand with real backing. Gree is one of the world's largest air conditioner makers, and Beijer Ref Australia holds the local warranty and stocks parts. It is noisier and less proven here than the Japanese premium brands, so it suits secondary rooms and rentals best.
Where are Gree air conditioners made?
Gree Electric is a Chinese company based in Zhuhai, Guangdong. The units sold in Australia are distributed by Beijer Ref Australia.
What is the warranty on a Gree air conditioner in Australia?
Six years parts and labour, according to Gree Australia. Beijer Ref Australia holds the warranty. Keep the invoice and use a licensed installer, or you may have trouble claiming.
Who sells Gree air conditioners in Australia?
Mostly air conditioning installers and trade dealers, supplied by Beijer Ref Australia. You will rarely find Gree at the big retail chains. Find an installer who fits it regularly rather than one trying it for the first time.
How much does a Gree split system cost?
About $1,600 to $2,000 installed for a 2.5 kW bedroom unit in 2026, and $2,400 to $3,100 for a 7 kW living-room unit, on a standard back-to-back install.
Is Gree better than Midea?
They are close. Gree has the longer standard warranty at six years and sells mainly through the trade. Midea is available both direct and through Polyaire, which offers seven years on eligible models. Choose the one your installer services most often.
