That makes it the one we suggest when you’re cooling several rooms at once, or a spare room that doesn’t run every day. We price [Haier air conditioner installation in Brisbane](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/haier-split-system-air-conditioners/) from $1,836.51 including GST for a 2.5 kW unit, supplied and installed back to back on a single storey home. ### Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the middle option Mitsubishi Heavy Industries sits between Haier and Daikin on price. Don’t mix it up with Mitsubishi Electric. They’re separate brands, and the one we supply is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. We supply and install [Mitsubishi Heavy Industries air conditioning in Brisbane](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/mitsubishi-heavy-industries-air-conditioners/) and Logan from $2,053.81 including GST for a 2.5 kW split system, back to back on a single storey home. ### Daikin, the premium price Daikin is the highest priced of the three at 2.5 kW, a little above Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

A 2.5 kW Daikin supplied and installed costs $2,162.40 including GST, back to back on a single storey home. Models and sizes are on our [Daikin air conditioning installation in Brisbane](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/daikin-split-air-conditioning-systems/) page. ### Panasonic and units you buy yourself We don’t supply Panasonic, but we install it. If you’ve bought a Panasonic, or any other new split system, we fit it, connect it and commission it from $1,239.81 including GST. A hard wired air conditioner has to be connected by a licensed electrician. The [Electrical Safety Office](https://www.electricalsafety.qld.gov.au/ddiy) says appliances that need to be hard wired must be connected by one. We’re a licensed electrical contractor (licence 90552) and hold an ARCtick licence (L181564) for the refrigerant side, so one team does both. See our [Panasonic air conditioner installation](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/panasonic-air-conditioners/) page for what install only covers. **Our view:** a well installed unit of the right size will serve you better than a big name that’s too small for the room.

The Australian Government’s [Energy Rating guide to the label](https://www.energyrating.gov.au/consumer-information/understand-zoned-energy-rating-label) says to choose the size and features you need first, then use the star rating to compare similar models. - Size the room first. Our guide on [what size air conditioner you need](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/what-size-air-conditioner-do-i-need/) shows how. - Compare star ratings only between models of a similar size. Ratings run from 1 to 10 stars, and more stars means more efficient. - Check the noise figures. A split system shows separate inside and outside noise ratings in dB(A). - Ask who installs it and what the workmanship warranty is. The label lists an inside noise rating for the indoor unit and an outside rating for the outdoor unit. The outside noise rating matters most when the outdoor unit will sit near a bedroom window or the neighbour’s house. Full prices for every size are on our [aircon prices in Brisbane](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/air-conditioning-pricing/) page. ### Common questions about air conditioner brands #### Is the energy rating label shown when I buy online? Not always. Energy Rating says the label must be displayed in stores for single split systems up to 30 kW, but online sellers don’t have to show it. Ask the seller for it before you buy. #### Does the brand change the 5 year workmanship warranty? No. Our 5 year workmanship warranty covers every split system installation we do, whichever brand it is. The unit’s own warranty comes from its maker. #### Do you install in Logan as well as Brisbane? Yes. We’re based in Woodridge and do [air conditioning installation in Logan](https://www.fazeelectrical.com.au/), Brisbane southside, Ipswich, Springfield Lakes and the northern Gold Coast.
