Split system

Alex from Absolute Airflow quoted $2209. He came for onsite visit 3/10, no issues found. Ideally add more studs where unit will go (~450 mm spacing). He usually fixes to at least one stud but ideally he'd like more, no biggy if not done though. Process is:
  • When studs are done call him and he'll come out to do some work. Don't need any sparky work done by then.
  • Once sheeted and painted call him again to connect it all up. Before that, make sure the sparky has left an "isolator" on the roof and Alex will do the rest.
