Helping choosing an Air Conditoner for my house!!

Sam3007

Hi there,
I was considering installing an air con for my open plan ground floor house. (8.5 x 5) meters.


I was quoted the following:

Ground floor (8.5 x 5) meters.

Supply & install 1 No wall mounted split system - £2260.00

 First floor: three bedrooms

(3.2 x 3.7)

Supply & install 1 No wall mounted split system - £1750.00

(3x 2.6)

Supply & install 1 No wall mounted split system - £1750.00

(3 x 2.2)

Supply & install 1 No wall mounted split system - £1750.00

MSZ-HR R32

Classic Wall Mounted System

Key Features & Benefits:

Inverter Heat Pump

The MSZ-HR range of wall mounted split

systems is now available in capacities up

to 7.1kW, making them ideal for light

commercial applications such as small

offices & retail spaces. With efficient

& quiet operation, as well as optional

Wi-Fi control, these systems provide

excellent value for money as single

or multi-split systems.

Stylish white design

Utilises lower GWP R32 refrigerant

Optional Wi-Fi interface enabling control

& monitoring via the MELCloud app

Daily timer for greater control of scheduling

Multi-Split connection to MXZ-HA

Compatible with Plasma Quad Connect -

an innovative, bolt-on air purifying device

which neutralises viruses,bacteria, allergens,

PM2.5, mould and dust.

My questions are:
1- Do you recommned such a unit MSZ-HR R32?
2- are the prices reasonable?
3- What does (No wall mounted) mean? I am a bit confused. Does it mean the outdoor unit?
4- Does each indoor unit in the bedrooms need a seperate outdoor unit?
Thanks

I know nothing about fitting aircon but I have 3 units fitted in my house.
  The quote is pretty rubbish. They look like a basic cheap unit. 

The quote gives you no information of what Kw units they are fitting. No mention of how many external units they are fitting. Are they multi split units? 

  No wall mounting means Number of wall mounted

Yes, a bit confusing. Looks like it's three single splits each with an outdoor and indoor unit.
Multi split may be a better option. I have Toshiba A/C with a single 7.5kw inverter and three indoor units.

Get at least two more quotes.

Don't forget you'll need Planning Permission.

Edit:  The "No" is an abbreviation for number,

They have also attached a sheet which, for me, is more confusing. I will attach the two pages.




Do it mean that there are more than one option for outdoor and indoor unit with the same installtion cost?

This was through Costco when I picked up one of the flayers, but the quote was sent from http://www.selectairservices.co.uk without mentioning any Costco members discounts. 

The outdoor unit will probably be intalled in the back garden. Are you sure that it requires planning permission? If so, is it the council whom I need to contact?

It says they are for commercial use, I don’t know what the difference is. Noisy, ugly units maybe? . I would be looking for a local company that fit home air con if it was me. 

I never got planning permission for mine. One unit has been in for seven years with no problems. These are the ones I have

I also decided to stay away from white indoor units, they always seem to turn yellow.
This is the other type I considered which are not just a white ugly box stuck on your wall. You can choose the colour of the fabric on the front
