What moves a Armidale 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.
Altitude changes the sizing
At about 980 metres, Armidale gets genuine frost, occasional snow and a heating season that runs long. Systems are specified for winter performance here, and a unit that copes on the coast will disappoint.
Student rentals and turnover
The university population means a large rental market, and landlords buying for tenants tend to shop hard on price. Ask what the quoted unit actually is, not just the total.
