Personally Id suggest the Mitusbishi units or even the kelvinator (electrolux).. Got a 1.5 HP Kelvinator Inverter for around $800. Got a mitsi 2hp, can see what I can get that for if ur interested?

yes please flicky...just get a few prices for a 25 squ metre area (std height ceilings) if that's OK....not sure if 1.5 hp would be enough or whether I need a tad bigger?

cheers

No probs pete! Id say 1.5HP would be fine for that size but i can check on our programme we have at work, we can enter in measurements and room sizes etc to get a better idea.

Will let you know tommorow

mitsubishi are really good too

reliable, freezing cold, usually a bit cheaper than the fujitsu etc. theyre well made units. forget the chinese ones. they dont even conform to their own specs.

a 2hp for a single room would do the trick

i have a 3.5 hp in the loungeroom and it reaches most of the house.

x2 for the Mutsubishi units.one of the best on the market. Ive owned 3x 3.5hp units and wouldn't buy anything else. Pay for a holiday to SA and ill install it for you.

Yep, evap can eat my buttocks.

I don't care how cheap the thing is to run if there's no difference with it on or off!

Ducted Daikin inverter here - cost a few beans to do, but when it comes to my comfort in summer and the comfort of pregnant women and babies / small children I couldn't put a price on it.

i got too admit we have ducted evap that works really well MOST of the time and does a great job BUT there are a few days of the yr where the evap just dosent make the grade .

hence why i want to put a split system in the family room . the family room and the kitchen are really one big room separted by a island type bench . but as we spend most of the time in the family room i think we would benifit from the split . actually it really dosent even need to heat as we have a wood fire and a gas heater there . but refrige cooling would be great .

enough of my ramblings .

cheers dean

evaps are fine if you buy the right brand and more importantly the correct "hp" motor....always best to get bigger then you need so the unit isn't struggling to work properly.

Just like buying a turbo! :)

Currently have a cheapo 1hp Chinese branded split type A/C (branded "Chillair") in my room, that my parents bought in some Chinese A/C shop. Unit is just over $300 (MUCH cheaper than any other 1hp models that we saw in the main stream shops) & I forgot how much the install was; my parents called up tons of places & found a Vintam guy to install it for the cheapest price.

The A/C is about as generic as you can get, standard compressor, not a inverter model & pretty much just set the temp buttons & on/off switch. No other features, but it works wonders. can cool my room to under 18C when its about >40C outside.

Also the main living room is fitted with a massive old box type National branded A/C, it may be old & may make a sh*t load of noise when on, but it totally kicks the crap out of all the evap units family friends have in the cooling department.

YES!!! We have a national 2.0 or 2.5hp wall unit, circa 20 years old, and STILL blows 16 degrees set on cold. Hasn't missed a beat! Gets helped out by the new daikin 2.5hp inverter on real hot days tho.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
