What moves a Maitland 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.
Hotter than Newcastle
Maitland sits inland where the sea breeze fades, summers run noticeably hotter than the coast. Size for Maitland heat, not the Newcastle forecast.
The Hunter's growth belt
New estates from Thornton to Gillieston Heights are clean ducted territory, and the building boom keeps quoting competitive.
