mine is literally back to back for the 18k

and about 5m of copper from the one part of the room to the wall thats "outside" where the outdoor will go

no fancy stuff

and yeah AC shows around r3k

does AC also do the electrical or must you do it

also does 12 and 18k need to be on the board or can it be done to a plug point with an isolator

ACdirect doesn't do electrical.. You need to get electrical sorted before they come out to install, so they are able to connect and test..

18K must go to DB, with isolator within reach of the outside unit.. 12k can be on a standard plug point, but ideally should also be on its own circuit breaker, not sharing with any existing plugs.. Because you need the 18k to go to the DB, might as well do the 12k too.. only real additional cost is the extra wire and isolator required..

one last question since i think i have come to a conclusion with my choices

alliance or midea

midea has a 10 yr warantee , alliance as 5

apparently alliance better with warantee
