Finger pointing and take no resposibility
Used these guys as Harvey Norman works with them. Started off well, but the aftercare was extremely disappointing. They don't take responsibility for their actions and lay blame on the customer.

Worst Service Ever and total Rip Off!!!
Booked at HN when buying air conditioner. They had a special on installation when purchasing a Panasonic. What a joke, charged an extra $450 on the day after the job was done!! I called Octopuss and got put through to the manager [name removed] who was so rude when I asked for an itemised invoice before charging my credit card. Also like others the customer service and communication from the technicians is absolutely terrible, I had to chase and chase to get done and it took 6 weeks before they finally did it!! Do not use this service.

No show on date booked then sent 3 korean men with no licences
I booked my installation date with Harvey Norman on 30th November. Was told it would be installed on Thursday 21st December. No one called so after waiting home all morning I called Harvey Norman to be told that this was only an approximate date and if I had looked at the fine print I would have seen that. So then they booked with a different sub contractor for Christmas Eve, i.e. today. 3 Korean men arrived and informed me that it would be another $100 because its "upstairs" when in fact the air con is going on the veranda right outside the wi...Read more
ndow where the precious air con was. then they told me another $100 to disconnect the other air con. And both these sums HAD to be in cash. I could not do bankcard or a deposit into their account. I asked to see their licence but they didn't have a licence to install air conditioners. So I will be having no air conditioning this xmas. Better than a dodgy tradesman who is unlicensed and a complete rip-off.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Dodgey Subcontractors- IcyCool Airconditioning
The Manager of Icy Cool did an over the phone quote, which was a waste of time. He claimed to be in Sydney due to a family issue. I’ve since found out this is part of a LIE. He infact had relocated to Sydney from Brisbane 13 months earlier & has no plans to return to Qld.. His installer came to quote after I complained to the sales consultant @ my local Harvey Norman store. They got the job.. Still 2 months later I am still waiting for this job to be completed. Installer picked at the installation of my other 2 air cons.. Don’t waste your time with these Idiots.

Failed to perform dryer installation
This company was hired as part of the purchase of my dryer from Harvey Norman. The installation package was supposed to include removal of the old dryer, installation of the new one on the wall and connection of the existing exhaust duct (agreed verbally with the installation company prior to purchase).
Their installer, who works for a subcontracting company named Dellaco Installations, turned up. The first problem is that he refused to do anything with the exhaust duct, claiming that a ducting kit was required that was specific to the d...Read more
ryer; however, the ducting kit that is there is actually generic, and is the same size and would fit the new dryer. "Not my problem," he said. Not a good start, but in any case he agreed to go ahead and deal with the ducting issue later. The installer tried the method of pushing up and tilting diagonally to get the dryer off the wall; however, it was hooked on at the bottom as well with two rubber mounts that were glued onto the wall, which he seemed to ignore. Each of these came off the wall with some force, leaving marks on the wall where the paint came off the plasterboard. For some reason the dryer wouldn't come off the wall, so then he tried yanking it outwards, which I could see was pulling against the mounting brackets attached behind the dryer and against the exhaust duct, which was still attached (and should have been disconnected). I had to tell him a couple of times to stop and do it properly, at which point he was quite rude about it and claimed that I 'yelled' at him - I had to speak up as he was ignoring me and would have damaged my laundry wall. He then left without performing the installation. The whole experience came off as quite unprofessional and I advised the company that I would not be allowing the same representative back into my home. Apparently, however, they only have one person who is capable of installing dryers, which seems pretty ridiculous. Effectively I went from dealing with Octopuss, which is the official installation partner of Harvey Norman, to a subcontracting company with only one employee who doesn't seem to be capable of doing the job. I don't see how this can now be resolved with them and it looks like I'll have to get my money refunded and hire someone else independently to install the dryer. Not happy.Similar opinion?

Need to train their installers
I purchased a top of the range Bosch dishwasher from Harvey Norman in Frankston and arranged for it to be delivered and installed through them.
Their installation company is Octopuss who use subcontractors.
Dellaco was the company contracted to install my dishwasher. They were good communicators but the person they sent to do the installation was not very good. He apparently hadn't installed a Bosch built under dishwasher before and I had to tell him what to do every step of the way. If i hadn't been there the installation would have been a c...Read more

Happy with the service
Had a great experience with them. Had a split system replaced by Steve (in the Gippsland; courtesy Wonthaggi Harvey Norman). He came when he said he would, did the job, cleaned up, fixed up some wiring, without charging extra, and took the old split system away. A top bloke, too.

He came, he installed and he left.
Peter was our installer. He arrived on time, removed the old dishwasher, a Dishlex DX302, and installed our new Dishlex 6106W. No problems in the changeover. Provided good instructions to help us complete installation process. Couldn't be happier with this service.

Brett and James - wonderful!
Octopuss sent installers Brett and James to our home to install two split system air conditioners. A great job. Arrived on time and did a neat job. Took care of our home and cleaned up afterwards. Polite courteous and friendly. I would have no trouble recommending them to anyone who wants a professional job.
We purchased through Harvey Norman Chirnside Park.

Worst install company EVER
DO not use this company unless you want to pay another company to fix their work. The fugitsu technician said he couldn't believe the install and then I get yelled at by Octopus Manager saying it is somehow my fault! How can Harvey norman keep giving then contracts.

I have bought a split system from Harvey Norman and need to have it installed. What is the cost? Please.
Thank you

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.
