Timing your air conditioner purchase right can save you $300–$800. Here’s when Sydney residents get the best deals on installation and equipment.
The Best Time to Buy — Autumn and Winter
May to August is when most Sydney homeowners are NOT thinking about air conditioning. Installers have more availability, lead times are shorter, and some suppliers offer off-season pricing. Paradoxically, the best time to install cooling is when you don’t need it yet.
Worst Time to Buy — November to February
Summer is when everyone wants AC installed at the same time. Lead times blow out, installers are booked weeks ahead, and there’s no room to negotiate on price. If you wait until you’re desperate in December, you’ll pay a premium and wait longer.
What to Look For
- End of financial year (June) — some suppliers clear stock
- EOFY sales on Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu units
- Off-season installation — faster scheduling, more attention to your job
