Price
Our Bradmac Airconditioning review team found that this Melbourne-based air conditioning installation company has competitive pricing comparative to the rest of the Melbourne market. However, their pricing was not the absolute cheapest available option when looking at purchasing and installing an air conditioner.
The pricing model for this company however, is relatively consistent with other Melbourne-based air conditioning installation companies. Quotes are given with their best price at the beginning, with the quote being subject to change due to structural and installation factors. BradMac Airconditioning also does not offer volume discounts for customers looking to purchase more than one air conditioning unit.
Helpfully, this company is aware of the best promotions and deals available in the market from the manufacturers. The sales team are willing and able to assist customers to access these deals, which can help customers get better value for money and assist in deciding the best brands to suit individual customers.
Notably, BradMac Airconditioning is open to price matching, if an equivalent quote is truly like-for-like and can be negotiated based on individual basis. However, the condition with price matching is that the quote from a competing company would need to detail all the same inclusions and specifications and be truly like-for-like.

Even though Bradmac Airconditioning is outside of our top 5 Melbourne-based air conditioning companies, in relation to price, they were equivalent to other companies such as Coldflow and All Climate Solutions, and still found to offer a competitive price range.
