Air conditioning quotes in Canberra
Canberra will punish a cheap coastal unit. If the installer cannot talk about heating performance at zero degrees, find another one. You live here in July, not in a brochure from Brisbane.
Splits are common on older brick. Ducted is popular in the newer northside estates. Budget a bit more than Sydney for the same box because the travel and the spec are different.
Typical split
$2,100 to $4,800
Typical ducted
$11,000 to $18,500
The rebate in Canberra
No statewide reverse cycle rebate that works like VEU. Quotes and a cold-climate model do the work.
Government brick, new estates in the north, and a lot of old slab heaters.
Suburbs we hear from
Belconnen, Tuggeranong, Woden, Gungahlin, Inner North, Queanbeyan.
Common questions
Will a reverse cycle replace my wood fire?
For most suburban houses, yes, if you size for heating and you are not trying to warm a cathedral ceiling with a 2.5kW bedroom unit.
