Alpine Refrigeration & Air Conditioning were rated with a 3 out of 5 for overall cost effectiveness.

Our Camray Air Review team found their prices to be impressive as they were generally lower than market average. The installation quotes were affordable and included cash back options to help the customer with their purchasing decision. Camray Air is happy to review price-matching enquiries for customers and also offer volume discounts where multiple units are purchased and installed at once. Alpine Refrigeration & Air Conditioning are open to price matching for like for like products, generally reviewing price matching at the lower to mid-range for Carrier products and in the upper range in regards with their Hitachi and Toshiba brands. They are also potentially open to providing volume discounts when customers purchase multiple air conditioning units.

Camray Air also helps their customers to access Panasonic cash backs at various times, usually during the winter months. The sales team are up to date with the timing and details of manufacturer’s deals and they can pass this information on to their customers.
