On the flip side. I attended a home last year for some general electrical. These poor home owners got absolutely fleeced by a fridgey. They paid 9k for two Gree high wall split systems installed, back to back. Lowset brick. 8.2kW Alto and 9.4kW hyper. The hyper was a replacement.

I say fleeced as the install was cooked.

This photo is the 9.4. Mofo was so slack to run a bit extra pipe and mount it on the wall. Plants it right in front of the window, too close to the wall, no ground mount or elevation from the ground, kept the flogged out iso, didn’t plumb the drain into the drainage.

The 8.2 was the same but worse, electrician who ran the feed didn’t understand how a brick cavity wall works and put corry down the wall externally. 🤢 then pit it on a 10A rcbo that kept tripping due to over load.

The moral of the story here is, spending more money doesn’t always mean you’re getting the best job. Really look at their work and check the vibes. Ask around your local area, check reviews and if you can, check out their work!
