What moves a Gladstone 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.
Industry keeps trades busy
Gladstone's industrial workforce keeps local trades in demand, book ahead rather than waiting for the first heatwave.
Humid coastal heat
The season is long and sticky. Size for the moisture load, not just the thermometer.
