      It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.

      Summer is ending up here in the Northern hemisphere, so I’m going with this being in New Zealand, which makes it about $4600 US.

        An ad in NZ would be in ºC that “75” looks suspiciously ºF.

        We’d also more likely call it a “heat pump” rather than “A/C”.

        Though $8000 does sound about right for South Pacific Pesos.


        Also, OP said in another comment that it’s US.

        Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.

          As someone who lives in a border county (San Bernardino does border Nevada even if I live closer to Colton than Primm) aren’t you guys on like the edge of having your balls frozen off? Nevada is mostly mountains and highland desert meaning hot as ass summers and cold as shit winters.

            Northern Nevada can get pretty frosty. I remember seeing -14f there on a particularly cold morning. I’m in Southern NV now, and it was around 90f yesterday. Overnight lows are barely getting under 70f still. Coldest I’ve ever seen here is around 28f, and I can’t remember the last time it even got to freezing.

        Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.

      AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.

        Then I guess I’m never replacing mine. It’s not like HVAC technology has advanced much in the past 100 years, beyond the switch to R-134A from Freon. Most tech advancements are made on the thermostat-end. The system itself is ridiculously simple; usually just 3-4 wires (A/C on/off, Heat on/off, fan on/off, and sometimes a separate power wire).

          Heat pumps are the way to go. Or conditioning air with well water temps or ground temps other ways, 50 degrees year round 6 feet down usually.

      It’s probably for an HVAC system that runs trough the entire building. Not just a unit that cools one room.

      My dual head split ac (is that correct? Two indoor units, one outdoor) was 2000 eur with installation.

      That price is truly ridiculous, but maybe they’ll make a typo in the final invoice in your favour.

      We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.

        There is no magic quantity of layers obfuscation that will hide the fact that you simply can not resist your obligatory urge to post “This!”.

          You said exactly what I was thinking. Took the words right out of my mouth. I couldn’t have said it better myself (though I would have, had you not already so eloquently captured the sentiment that needed to be captured).

          Yet still, my comment contributed more than yours (and more than this one).

          Luckily it matters not at all.

    It’s the er… European spelling. Don’t worry about it :/

    That’s embarrassing. I’m not sure who owes them the bigger apology; The printing company or their high school English teacher.

    Reminds me of the Tommy Lee Jones movie “Man of the House” (2005) where he installs a giant A/C to make the cheerleaders wear more clothes.

    Idk if I prefer spam emails or this, both are not environmentally friendly, maybe emails take less electricity, idk, but seeing mail ads feel less intrusive than most ad delivery methods used today.
