It’s a shame the flatpax people don’t have more info online, especially pricing to make an informed decision. Ikea have a great wibsite where I can play for hours and get every detail including sizes, colours and especially prices to allow me to work from home. Going out and writing everything down is time wasting and I usually get home and find I’ve forgotten some important detail.

How much air-conditioning is enough? by mgowen http://mgowen.com/2011/02/04/more-power-how-much-air-conditioning-is-enough/#comment-220 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:00:15 +0000 http://mgowen.com/?p=554#comment-220 Those are installed prices (ducted AC unit, plus all ducts and vents and installation work).

If the installed prices for brand name units are a lot cheaper than this, that’s great, but I doubt the price has fallen so far in only 2 years.

I’ve only just started research them online today but the prices seem a lot cheaper than the models you mention ?

That’s about $450 less than any of the quotes I got. Do you mind sharing the name of the place so people reading this can use them if they live near you?

I got my ikea tops done professionally at a kitchen place for $75/mitre including the toggles – all came up great.
