It’s the er… European spelling. Don’t worry about it :/
That’s embarrassing. I’m not sure who owes them the bigger apology; The printing company or their high school English teacher.
My split AC unit cost me 1350€ with installation. 8k USD is ridiculous.
It’s probably for an HVAC system that runs trough the entire building. Not just a unit that cools one room.
Yeah mine was like 10k but it's for central heating.
"starting at" and the thing in the front is a simple unit that shouldn't cost you more than 2k.
My dual head split ac (is that correct? Two indoor units, one outdoor) was 2000 eur with installation.
That price is truly ridiculous, but maybe they'll make a typo in the final invoice in your favour.
We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.
Yeah, sorry, we made a typo. It's actually $17,999.00.
Starting at 8 grand?? Seems pricey and I live in a place with expensive labour
It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.
Upbubpbubpbup! $7,999 and only valid if you have this giant tacky coupon with you 🤣
Which is even worse, as I'd expect it to be half that installed
Summer is ending up here in the Northern hemisphere, so I'm going with this being in New Zealand, which makes it about $4600 US.
An ad in NZ would be in ºC that "75" looks suspiciously ºF.
We'd also more likely call it a "heat pump" rather than "A/C".
Though $8000 does sound about right for South Pacific Pesos.
Also, OP said in another comment that it's US.
It could have easily been stock art
Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.
As someone who lives in a border county (San Bernardino does border Nevada even if I live closer to Colton than Primm) aren't you guys on like the edge of having your balls frozen off? Nevada is mostly mountains and highland desert meaning hot as ass summers and cold as shit winters.
Northern Nevada can get pretty frosty. I remember seeing -14f there on a particularly cold morning. I'm in Southern NV now, and it was around 90f yesterday. Overnight lows are barely getting under 70f still. Coldest I've ever seen here is around 28f, and I can't remember the last time it even got to freezing.
I got stuck in a blizzard up in northern Nevada a bit south of Blackjack, was a right shitshow.
Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.
AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.

...and I'm not sure about getting an A/C from someone that can't grammar, either
That's just how you know it's really trustworthy!
Australia?
Nope, USA. The third infuriating thing about this flier.
I think a/c is mostly (entirely?) a north-american naming convention. It's been "aircon" in the other places I've lived in traveled.
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
Deleted my comment because I saw you beat me to it.
That's okay though. Sometimes I do the same and don't even notice it already exists.

My aren't 😔
I'm not an AC, mr newspaper.
Is I am ready for the season that’s over? No matter where you live, Summer is either over or a season away.
That took me way too long to notice
I was like "Yeah, starting at $8k is pretty bullshit"
Your quicker then me.
I see what you did their
That took me way too long to notice.
