Price
Our Degree C review, found the company offers very affordable pricing on both their air conditioning products and installation services. The Degree C review found their pricing to be very competitive, in comparison to other air conditioning installation companies in the Launceston area and the prices were generally lower than standard market prices. As a general recommendation, with most air conditioning installation companies, it is best to have a free onsite quote conducted by the company as a way to be more certain of the expected costing and installation requirements, before making a decision.
Even though the Degree C already has very affordable pricing options in comparison to other Launceston-based air conditioning installation companies, the company is open to further flexibility with their pricing. The Degree C team can price match on competitor’s quotes, if the quote is similar in regards to brands, models and installation requirements. They also open to considering volume discounts, which are discounts given on purchases on multiple air conditioning systems at one time. The Degree C team will also inform customers at the time of quoting if there are any current manufacturers’ promotions or special deals. They also advertise current manufacturers’ deals on their Facebook page.

For more comprehensive and exact quotes, customers need to request an onsite appraisal of their home or commercial space and this is standard practise for most Launceston-based air installation companies. The Degree C team of specialists are happy to arrange a home or worksite visit and provide a personalised, obligation-free quote, for a heating/cooling solution which is in line with the customer needs.
The Degree C website does not offer an online quotation or contact form. This is unlike most air conditioning installation companies as most will offer either a quotation form or contact from or sometimes even both. An online form is an easy way for potential clients to contact the company and for the company to receive details and leads of potential new clients.
As with most air conditioning installation companies, it is recommended to follow up any email correspondence, with a phone call. The phone call ensures that the email request was received and may possibly help the customer receive a response more quickly.
