Terrible -DO NOT USE THEM

published

Unjustified substantial add on fees - The installer "forgot" to gas the unit. The "Electrical"installer was not licensed, the $300 "Electrical installation was then done by a licensed Electrician for $150 - The front office always appear helpful with my questions and concerns, they make big promised but it is never followed up.

We had our split system installed on Friday. Workman were pleasant......HOWEVER..We had a lot of rain overnight and woke the next morning to a large amount of water under our roofed pergola....Husband got up on the roof to discover that a tile had not been replaced....Which led to water running down inbetween the internal and external walls...Not Happy...

Excellent

published

Installers arrived on time, just before [8.30] am as arranged, they looked clean tidy and ready for work. The installation was started straight away and continued continually over the next three plus hours or so, the finished job was of the highest quality[,Harry one of the installers and his partner] I could recommend to anyone looking for an air/con installation, I gave them 5 stars for
for this job.
Thank you.

Air conditioner installation

published

I purchased an air conditioner from Harvey Norman in Penrith. The installers from Octopuss were pleasant, punctual and efficient - lovely young men and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great Tradesman!

published

I bought an air conditioner at Harvey Norman in Penrith who organised Octopuss to install it at a house in Padstow (Sydney). The installer, Fouad, was very professional. He was prompt on the day of inspection and installation. A great job, finished neatly and promptly. I am very happy with this service.

Terrible tradesman.

published

Dellaco was the assigned contractor to install my dishwasher. As soon as the installer saw that the job was a tiny bit more difficult than a quick install (they need to lift the dishwasher about 1.5cm), they did not get back to me to organize a time. I had to organize with Harvey Norman to assign a different contractor to me. Would not use Octopuss or Dellaco. Not recommended at all. Avoid and organise your own installer to save time and the headache.

Poor Dishwasher Installations

published

Rang to organise an installer for a client who purchased a dishwasher through Harvey Norman. They don't even know what a Cabiseal was and left a huge open hole in her brand new kaboodle kitchen.

Lied too with really poor service

published

Having Air-Con problems about a year after Octopuss in Gympie came and did the install. I got 2 different companies to come look and both said it was an install problem so I had to contact Octopuss. Colin came out and told me it was my fault and he wouldn't fix his mistake. He said I must have hit the air-con with a lawn mower even though the fault problem is 2 meters high. He didn't want to be bothered to fix it. I have no recourse but to pay money to a different company to fix it.

friendly and efficient service.The installer found a solution to an electrical connection problem which saved me having to install a new power point. The use of the stove features was explained before the job was completed. Well done.

Poor customer service experience

published

I had a poor experience with customer service staff member who was very rude. So far this hasn't been a pleasant experience working with the company. A company's customer facing staff should always aim to be polite and courteous.

Aircon install

published

Perfect service. Purchased two aircon units from Harvey Norman lake haven. Allan and his team were amazing. Super nice guys, no issues at all. Would use them again no issues.

Installation cancelled by them, but does not want to refund money

published

Installation was cancelled by them, because they feel it is too complicated to do it. It is OK. However does not want to refund money.
Called them many times. Not professional.

A typical price for a back to back installation should be about $700 and that includes a a pair of wall brackets for the outside unit, Wall brackets are better than sitting the unit on the ground.
Don't bother using HN's contractors as you don't know what you are going to get. Choose your own contractor. Ask a friend if you don't know of one
I live in Frankston South and have had three separate installations done, each for a price of $700 including the wall brackets. The contractor I chose was Venlec from Mount Martha and their service and workmanship was fantastic.The boss Lui couldn't have been more helpful.
You can also get a good deal on air conditioners from Appliance Central on Ebay. They are much cheaper than HN.
