Winter. Coffs' humid season runs well into autumn, and by November installers are busy. May to August is the honest window for sharp quotes.

Humidity does the damage
Coffs summers are humid more than hot. Size for the moisture load, that's what keeps rooms comfortable in February, not raw capacity.
Salt air is standard
Most of Coffs lives in salt-air range. Coastal-rated units with protected coils should be the default line on the quote.
Hillside homes, harder installs
The hillside suburbs bring split-level homes and tricky condenser placement. Describe the access honestly when you request quotes, it prices the job right first time.
Winter is the window
