DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION IN BRISBANE
AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION
Life is not fair. Something I am sure you are aware of, but just how unfair is it? How about this. The people who get ahead in life do so because they put in the hard work. Those who put in that hard work, are only able to do so because they’ve had a good nights sleep, and a decent meal the day before. People who had a decent meal, a comfortable bed and a good nights sleep are usually the people who can afford air conditioning. If they can afford air conditioning, it’s highly likely they put in the hard work because they got enough sleep. I won’t keep going because my point has been made.
At any given point in time, everyone is exactly where they are supposed to be.
It’s very true that the people with the nicest homes are quite often the ones who spend the least amount of time there. How much time do you spend at home now? If I am lucky maybe one day and 7 nights, but I sleep most of that time, and I am sure you’re the same. We work this hard, so that those around us can be comfortable. It is only fair that our down time is comfy too.

BRISBANE SPLIT SYSTEM INSTALLERS
MITSUBISHI AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION
When you install as many Mitsubishi air conditioners as we do, you become pretty bloody good at it. If only we were as good at other things as we are at installing air con, there might be bulk cash under the bed. I could have been a good surgeon or lawyer, computer hacker or even safe cracker. Instead I chose air conditioning. WTF was I thinking? As you can see to your right, our installs are straight, level, off the ground and the right way up. if you have seen a better install anywhere, please send me a pic. I would not be insulted, just the opposite. A new method which may rival our own is something I would be keen to learn.
Anyway, where were we, yes, thats right, the sin of envy. I was lamenting my choice of career, but I should be grateful. I have a roof over my head, a van full of tools and I can afford as many B grade staright to VHS ninja movies as I want. What more could a man ask for?

SOME OF OUR REVIEWS
WHO KNOWS SPLIT SYSTEMS BETTER?
We often get asked how we can fix our prices without seeing a job. The answer is simple. We’ve done so many. Consider this : What are you really good at? Gymnastics? If you asked me to do a backflip with a twist or a shake, I would examine the mat, the run up, the floor, the air, my shoes and the walls, just trying to buy time. Stevie Wonder would know what I was thinking…. ‘How the f*** do I get out of this one?’
Yet If I asked you to do the same thing, you could smile, wave your arms, run down the mat, leap into the air, flip over, do your tax return, stretch out and land on your feet – like it was nothing. If another company says ‘We’ll have to come out and have a look at the job first’ .. You should call us. We ask maybe two questions. Bricks or weatherboard? What’s for lunch? Sardines? Sorry I am busy till June. Roast beef? Ok we can do it Wednesday.
You don’t have to feed us, just stay out of the way. From the minute we start you will know – that we know air con. When your work is this good, who cares if your web page is loose as ?

WE DO SPLIT SYSTEM INSTALLATION BETTER
THE PEOPLE BELOW ACTUALLY SAID THIS STUFF – WE WERE MORE SURPRISED THAN YOU
ALL OF LIFES MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS : ANSWERED
AND SOME STUFF ABOUT AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION
AND THE QUESTIONS ABOUT AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION
How long will installation take?
Anywhere from 3 – 8 hours, depending on size and location. As a general rule we do 2 per day, so roughly 4 hours. Large units are always done in the morning if we can
Do the prices listed include everything?
The air conditioner price list on page two includes supply of new Mitsubishi and complete back to back installation. That means everything. It’s very rare that we get to a house and say ‘yours will be extra’ That will only happen if there’s some obstacle that you haven’t told us about.
Ours is just a replacement. Can you take the old one away?
Our prices include removal and disposal of the old unit. Some companies charge extra. Most charge it as extra. Not us.
How can you give a fixed price when you haven't seen the job?
Our standard quote is easy to understand. Most installs are A or B. Some are C and a rare few are D. Just tell us which one yours is and that’s your price. There’s a 75% chance yours will be back to back or (A) type.
What is a back to back installation?
Back to back means the system is mounted on an external wall. The head is up high facing in, and the outside unit sits on the other side, exposed to the weather. This is the most common install because the unit runs more efficiently, and cost you less.
What's an external wall?
An external wall is one which could or does have windows. The wall is external because it separates the inside from outside. If we drilled a hole through it and saw people walking past it would be an ‘external wall’
What's a wall?
What’s holding your roof up? OMG
Can we install the split system on an internal wall?
You can but it’s difficult, inefficient and ugly. Same as our electricians. Do yourself a favour and put it on an external wall. Saves you money on installation and also reduces your running costs. Worst case scenario we can put it almost anywhere, but the best solution is almost always the simplest.
Does every split system aircon require its own circuit?
Small ones up to 5kw are connected to the local power supply. Sizes 6 and up we run a new circuit if possible. Sometimes it is not physically possible to get new cables to the board without cutting holes, but in 8 out of 10 cases you get a new circuit for anything above 5kw. All included in the price
What is the meaning of life?
To crush your enemies. To see them driven before you – and hear the lament of his woman.
How often does my split system need servicing?
In an average home, clean the filters once a year. This means just take the sliding filters outside, hose them clean and when dry, put them back. This is a video demonstration. Get the head unit sanitized every five years. High traffic areas or industrial areas can require more regular cleaning. The outdoor condenser unit never needs maintenance.
I want my unit on a concrete slab rather than a bracket
You’re paying – so you can have it under the bed if you want. We recommend fixing it to the outside wall using a special bracket. Even 100mm off the ground is better than on the ground. This stops 95% of critters from living inside. A steel bracket prevents any movement from accidental knocks, meaning your gas connections are more secure and less likely to leak.
I bought mine from Harvey Norman can you pick it up?
Yeah, if you wash my car and then mow the lawn.
Do you install second hand systems?
No. Second hand air conditioners do not work. Split systems are designed to be installed once. Do not buy second hand systems, do not accept them as gifts. Avoid them like the plague. Their only value is scrap metal.
Are you the best driver in all of Brisbane?
Obviously. Why would anyone doubt it? I can even go in reverse.
Can I install my own air con?
Of course you can. You could do your own dental work too but we wouldn’t recommend it
Can I run two or more heads off the one condenser system?
You can but multi-head systems are far more expensive. They cost more to buy, more to install and more to run. It’s safe to say that your life will be ruined by a multi-head air conditioner. There is no coming back from that point.
What's the maximum distance between head and base units?
Best practise is to install them back to back or close together for maximum efficiency. In rare circumstances the head unit and base unit can have as much as 15 metres between them.
Can I put the condenser on the roof?
You may see air conditioners on the roof of factories sometimes, but it’s not the best place to install. They are exposed to the sun all day long. They run hotter and therefore less efficiently.
I wanted a ducted AC but you recommend split systems
How can I tell if an air con has lost its gas?
If the unit is low or out of gas then the air coming out won’t be hot or cold. A correctly installed split system should never lose its gas. If we installed it – we will come fix it.
What's the effective range of a .50 BMG round?
At 2000m FMJ .50 BMG round will penetrate 3 fairy penguins, two koalas, a wombat, and four copies Melbourne Sunday Herald Sun including the real estate section.
Do You sell cooling only systems?
No. The price difference between them and the full featured model is less than $100. There’s not enough demand for cooling only systems. if you wish to buy one somewhere else, that’s fine, we can install it
Can I pay by Credit Card?
No. Please be aware of this. We accept cash or internet banking transfer on completion of job. Mobile EFTPOS machines charge 2% or more per transaction. Each once of our transactions would incur a minimum of $32 surcharge. An average transaction would be $50+ Do you really want $50 added to the cost of your install?
Do you accept crypto payment?
We encourage crypto payment, you can pay by BTC , XMR or XRP. If you don’t know any of those, then cash or bank transfer only.
What's your Crypto payment address?

How do I claim the current Mitsubishi promotion rebates?
Go to this page https://mhiaa.com.au/promotion/ and follow the prompts. You can expect them to send you some direct marketing in future but that’s about all. There’s no other catches.
If I book today, when can it be done?
A week from your booking day usually.
Should I leave the Air Con running when I go out?
Just collecting kids from school then then leave it on 20 – 23. If you’re leaving to join the French foreign legion then you should probably turn it off.
Does Mitsubishi Have wifi built in?
No. But you can buy the WIFI adaptors from Bunnings. Waste of time I reckon. Use the remote.
