Air conditioning install

We've had a local installer quote to fit air conditioning in our home (in Sussex), wall mounted in two relatively small rooms with the intention of using his for cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. 

External multi-split unit, which will supply both rooms, is a Mitsubishi SCM30ZS-W (3.0KW) and the two internal wall mounted units will be Mitsubishi SKM15ZSP-W (1.5kW)

Cost of install is £2995 (additional cost of electrician TBC, but he came today and said it would be straightforward taking the feed straight from the outdoor meter box).

Does this seem like a reasonable cost and is the proposed Mitsubishi kit a decent product?

I am getting a second quote tomorrow.

    Thanks, I will certainly be using my solar panels to power the air-con during those long sunny days

    We paid £4k for x2 outside and inside units installed last year. Last few weeks when we've had the warm weather they have been 100% worth it.

    Thanks, I've worked from home for many years and suffered through the hot weeks of the year, plus my disabled wife is at home too and really feels the cold so being able to control the temperature in the two rooms we tend to spend most of out time in will be a great change for the summers and winter months.

    Sounds about right with roughly two thirds going on labour costs.
    I paid £6921 for a 7.5kw three way multisplit a few rears ago.
