What moves a Alice Springs split quote
Back-to-back, or not
The cheap baseline: indoor unit on an external wall, condenser directly behind it. Every metre the two units drift apart adds piping, cabling and labour, the biggest single swing on most quotes.
Electrical work
Bigger units need a dedicated circuit, and older switchboards sometimes need an upgrade to take one. Legitimate money, but it should be an itemised line, not a surprise on install day.
Desert extremes, both ways
Alice runs 40°C-plus summers and below-zero winter nights. Reverse-cycle sized for both extremes is the honest local buy.
Evap country converting
Evaporative cooling suits the dry heat and is everywhere in Alice, but refrigerated splits that also heat the freezing nights are the growing conversion.
