Price
Our Cool Control review found this Melbourne-based air conditioning installation company to offer great and comparative prices on the products and services they provide.Their pricing rates on installation of air conditioning units are generally on average with standard market price, but definitely are still reasonable and affordable.
When considering Cool Controls 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 Heavy Industries, because of their competitively priced products and that are considered one of the top brands of the industry in terms of quality and reliability. Their pricing also reflects a genuine and honest pricing style.
Our Cool Control review found that the company does not offer price matching nor does the company have a formal financing option. With price matching, Cool Control staff believes that competitors’ cheaper quotes may be indicative of a poorer quality of labor or service, which is not consistent with the service provided by Cool Control and therefore cannot be matched. As there is no formal financing plan, all customer accounts needs to be finalized before work commences.
Even though Cool Control does not have the most flexible pricing options, perhaps the focus for the company is on being on installation and unit pricing with best pricing available from outset.It’s actual pricing and cost effectiveness is also impressive for a smaller company, as its buying power is more limited than some of the other bigger Melbourne-based air conditioning installation companies.
As part of our Cool Control review, the cost effectiveness of the company was investigated, and then compared with our top 5 Melbourne based air conditioning companies, seen in the graph below. Cool Control was found to have an affordable and reasonable pricing range. Our review team gave them a rating of 4 out of 5 for overall cost effectiveness, which a high score for cost effectiveness and is comparable with some of our other Melbourne based air conditioning installation companies in our top 5.

The quotes are generally simplistic in nature, with not a lot of price breakdown of costs.

The response time recorded by Cool Control review team can be attributed to company structure, where as in the case of Cool Control, it has a much smaller business structure and numerous business roles and duties are undertaken by one or two people. Therefore response times between companies who may have a whole office team devoted to dealing with to customer inquiries will definitely reflect different response scores. Cool Control has shown itself however, even as a small company, to be solid and competitive, providing good customer service. Again, as with many of our other Melbourne based installation companies, a phone call to follow up after an email request for a quote, can sometime ensure a speedier response time or even entail an immediate response.
The Cool Control company can offer volume discounts and advise customers of special manufacturers promotions. 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. Cool Control team members can advise customers of special manufactures promotion at time of purchase; however it is up to the customer to access the promotion themselves.
