Price
Our Capital Air review found this Canberra-based air conditioning installation company to offer comparative to standard market pricing on their services they provide. Their pricing rates on installation of air conditioning units are generally on average with standard market pricing, but definitely are still reasonable and affordable.
When considering Capital Air pricing, it’s important to note the brand the company is using leading brands of a high quality. The company recommends and prefer to use Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin as they are considered one of the top brands of the industry in terms of quality and reliability.
Our Capital Air review found that the company does not offer price matching nor does the company have a formal financing option. With price matching, Capital Air staff believes that competitors’ cheaper quotes may be indicative of a poorer quality of labour or service and therefore cannot be matched with the service provided by Capital Air. As there is no formal financing plan, all customer accounts needs to be finalised on the day of service via credit card.
Even though Capital Air does not have the most flexible pricing options, the focus for the company appears to be on offering customers the best prices on installation and units from the outset. It’s actual pricing and cost effectiveness is also impressive for a smaller company, as its buying power is limited in comparison to some of the other bigger Canberra-based air conditioning installation companies.
As part of our Capital Air review, the cost effectiveness of the company was investigated, and then compared with our top 5 Canberra-based air conditioning companies, seen in the graph below. Capital Air was found to have an average and comparable pricing range. Our review team gave them a rating of 3 out of 5 for overall cost effectiveness, which a high score for cost effectiveness and is comparable with some of our other Canberra-based air conditioning installation companies in our top 5.

The Capital Air team can offer volume discounts to customers who purchase more than one unit in a single purchase. The volume discounts are only on multiple units and the discount is minimal, possibly due to the buying power of a smaller company than a larger one.
