Price
Our Solaire Connect review found the company offers affordable pricing on their air conditioning brands and service. The Solaire Connect review found their pricing to be competitive and generally on par with standard market prices. As with most air conditioning installation companies, it is best to have a free onsite quote conducted as to be more certain of the expected costing and installation requirements, before making a decision.
Solaire Connect advertise special offers and promotions on their website, via the Monthly Special tab, as in the image below.

Solaire Connect generally do not offer volume discounts or price match competitors quotes, due to their already low cost pricing and standardised installation fee. The company may offer price matching to the best of their ability, however the quotes will need to be exactly the same, in regards to brands and sizing. Pricing matching is however at the discretion of the Solaire Connect management and will be considered on an individual basis. Solaire Connect pride themselves on offering competitive and affordable pricing from the outset and are comparable to the ratings of some of our top 5 Perth-based air conditioning installation companies, as seen in the graph below.

As with most air conditioning installation companies, it is recommended to follow up any email correspondence or a request for a quote online, with a phone call. The phone call ensures that the email request was received and may possibly help the customer receive a response to their inquiry more quickly.
Financing
Our Solaire Connect review found that this company does not have any in house formal financing solutions, like some other Perth-based air conditioning companies. Customers are required to pay the full amount by the day of installation. However, they do however have sometimes promotions which offer interest free finance on certain types of air conditioning brands. Currently they have a finance offer on Fujitsu brand of air conditioners, as seen in the image below. This is a great option for Solaire Connect customers, however is more restrictive as it only gives finance and interest free terms to one brand and restricts the customer’s choices.
