ImAChameleon on 12/12/2019 - 07:09 No such thing as cost effective, it's either installed properly or not. Yes it's expensive (try living somewhere rural) but if it's done wrong you'll have all sorts of issues. If it's anything less than $900 (back to back install) then you're winning.
Also, don't buy the heat pump until you speak with an installer, some won't do the cheap ones, not because they are snobs but because they can be more hassle than they are worthDid the Bunnings(Mitsubishi one)trick and got quotes from Builderscrack website. BAPS electrical quoted $350 inc gst for standard back to back install. Paid round $380 cos they had to fix a broken powerpoint. Legit electrical inc Coc and all.
Avantime on 16/12/2019 - 19:46 The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries heat pump at Bunnings is just as good quality as the Mitsubishi Electric ones available at most places. MHI do mostly commercial units and doesn't have the fancy stuff ME does, but at least the smart home functionality can be taken care of using other-branded home hubs e.g. Xiaomi.
