Price
When reviewing air conditioning installation Melbourne companies, we found Coldflow’s prices to be reasonable and competitive. They are happy to discuss prices based on your specific installation needs, and are open to price matching other companies when dealing with like-for-like products after an onsite inspection.
Our Coldflow review noted they do have special deals and offers, which change frequently, so you’re best off checking their website to see if they have any deals available that suit your requirements. Most of these offers are provided by the air conditioning manufacturers rather than Coldflow themselves, however they are happy to help you explore the options and choose an offer that fits well with your needs.
Like many air conditioning installation companies in Melbourne, Coldflow can do multi-unit discounts, depending on your requirements and the volume of units you wish to install in your home or business. Our Coldflow review noted they currently offer financing options, which currently includes an offer of up to 24-months interest-free finance (subject to certain conditions). In order to find out if you are eligible to take advantage of this offer, a phone conversation is generally required with the finance partner to assess the compatibility of the offer with your needs (see more about this offer under “financing”).
The graph below demonstrates how we ranked our top 5 companies in terms of cost effectiveness. We ranked Coldflow at 3.5 out of 5, which was a strong score relative to the market, but not quite as cost effective as some of our other top 5 companies.
Quotation system
Our Coldflow review found them only too happy to provide an initial quote both online and over the phone, subject to a free onsite assessment of your building and specific needs. Their team are upfront and open about their pricing model and are only too happy to provide information and quotes without being pushy. Compared to other air conditioning installation companies in Melbourne, Coldflow are professional and straightforward about their quotes, both over the phone, via email and onsite.

Product range
During out Coldflow review, we found them to be highly knowledgeable about a wide range of products. Compared to some other air conditioning installation companies in Melbourne, they have a strong relationship with many air conditioning manufacturers, which makes them well placed to provide support on a wide range of products, and they will happily discuss the needs and requirements of all major air conditioning brands. That being said, we did note they have a particularly strong relationship with three of their top brands, namely: Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic. However, they are experienced at installing all major brands, and will happily talk you through the pros and cons of different systems.
