Air Conditioning Installed

I've been MIA lately as we had no progress with our house last week at all. Our glass splashback, which is one of the items I have been most excited to see, was due to be installed on Wednesday however several days later it is still not there.

Fortunately we had some site work today in the form of our air conditioning being installed.

Now I have been quite wary of our air conditioning after we opted to stick with the standard Derby unit rather than upgrading to the Actron (or even getting something like a Daiken after handover). The reviews I had read online said the Derby unit was noisy, unreliable and I was not exactly thrilled by the day/night cooling system - lets be honest, I like to laze around in bed all day so being able to only heat/cool the bedrooms OR the living areas was going to be difficult for me & my partner (who is likely to be in the home theatre).

To my surprise, I arrived at the house today to a Braemar unit (the BC183A to be precise). It appears that MJH have been using these lately due to lack of stock with the Derby units and frankly I am pleased that we got this one instead. Reviews for the Braemar unit seem more complimentary and no more day/night system yaaaaay (i think!)

An electrician will be back tomorrow to connect the AC together and fingers crossed our splashback finally gets installed.

  1. It was a good thing that you’ve read the reviews for other AC units before actually getting one. Exploring other available unit isn’t bad, and you might even find something better than what you already have. Anyway, I hope your AC got installed properly. All the best!
