Price

Our Mercury Installations review found the company offers standard or slightly higher than market pricing, both on their air conditioning products and installation service. They are definitely not the cheapest option in the Brisbane air conditioning market; however the company has a high standard of technical know how and service. Being a smaller sized company may mean they have a limited buying power when compared to some of the bigger sized companies in the Brisbane market and this may affect Mercury Installations’ pricing. They do, however, offer flexible pricing with discounts where possible. Mercury Installations’ team will help customers access promotions on specific brands at the time of quoting or purchasing. They are also open to price matching competitors’ quotes and volume discounts for multiple system purchases. Discounts relating to price matching and volume discounts are on a case-to-case basis and at the discretion of the Mercury Installations management. For their flexibility they were rated a reasonable 3 out of 5 on price.

Aussie Airconditioning Pty Ltd Review offer competitive rates on the installation of air conditioning units that are generally lower than the average market prices. Overall, our review team found this Brisbane based air conditioning company to be exceptionally honest and genuine regarding their costs when compared to other air conditioning installation companies in the area. Aussie Airconditioning Pty Ltd goes out of their way to provide customers with information regarding cash back options from manufacturers and the government. They provide customers with further discounts through n 24 minutes sales, assisting customers to maximise the value they are receiving. Aussie Airconditioning Pty Ltd are open to price matching if the competitor quote is a genuine “like for like” quote, and they are willing to discuss volume discounts where two or more units are purchased. We should note, however, that our Aussie Airconditioning Pty Ltd Review found that there is a $145 call-out fee, which can be deducted from the final price if you proceed with an installation.

In terms of response times, Mercury Installations responded within 24 hours to an initial email request. However receiving a prepared quote took on average more than 4 days, which is the slowest response ranking. Mercury Installations are, however, very responsive to Facebook messages, promptly sending responses during business hours. Their otherwise slower response times may be due to the smaller size of the company as staff can be required to work across different aspects of the business.

Aussie Airconditioning Pty Ltd were generally very quick to acknowledge an initial email enquiry, within 6 hours of receiving the request, roughly the same amount of time they took in providing customers with a quote. These times ranked Aussie Airconditioning Pty Ltd as the leading company in terms of response speed.
