What moves a Gold Coast 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.
Salt air is the spec
Within a few kilometres of the surf, quote coastal-rated units with protected coils. Standard condensers corrode years early on the coast.
Towers have rules
High-rise body corporates control condenser placement and balcony work. Get approval before install day, and tell us it's an apartment so we match tower-experienced installers.
