Chris installed a Daikin split aircon at our place yesterday and I could not be happier with his service. With the Ausi docks all jammed up there were issues with stock availability of the unit I wanted. Chris kept me informed of when he expected to get stock and when he could do the install. He was punctual to the minute. He even cleaned up afterwards. Best of all, he has the experience to know exactly how to do the install right! Many thanks Chris, please expect a call for another aircon for my upcoming reno in a few months time.

Anyone wants a split system supplied and installed should contact Chris. He's quick on communications and came out with the best price in whole Melbourne for my Toshiba split A/C supplied and installed and 7 years warranty! Installation was a stress free process, all done in 3 hours. Very happy with the product and service received. Well earned 5 starts.
