This is probably a question more for Aussies & Kiwi's; but what is everyones thoughts on Temperzone equipment?
They make an absolute killing in australia. Is the product just that good?

Hi MadMax
Yes in a simple answer. I've worked in NZ + Ausi, and they are well suited to thier application. Simple and easy to install or service - in saying that it has been a few year since I worked on one. The price and availability of water cooled cieling units was competative. Don't forget last I heard they were still manufacturing locally and the profits stay in the country unlike american suppliers.

We use them pretty much exclusively for commercial installs.
Pretty reliable, but the most important reason is parts readily available. We don't use mainstream asian made units because often we have to wait for parts, advice and repair manuals for them.
Those other brands are fine for domestic, but not fine for commercial units needing to run 24/7.

Hi Madmax, I used to install mainly Temperzone gear on large installs as they were able to meet the required specifications and modify the units according to both install and maintenance engineers requirements. I had 12 years experience with their gear and it only improved each year. As the others have mentioned easy parts access and good clear operating instructions.
Enjoy

I agree with all above. Temperzone equipment is well regarded here in NZ . Spare parts and technical assistance is in most cases a phone call away. For aircon they are virtually a one stop shop.

I found there units to be pretty darn good but had an instance where their warranty service was very poor. RV stuck and was bleeding HP to comp and unit not reaching temp (running 550kpa suction all day everyday) - looked at it for a friend, told them to call whoever installed it as I had no recourse with temperzone - just a friend of the owner - turned out to be under warranty, installer called temperzone - TZ sent guy out who claimed unit was fine... my arse it was, it went back and forth for a while, temperzone backed their tech and wouldn't front when installer or myself were present - they never could keep to a committed time. Installer ended up replacing it and customer paid for it. Needless to say installer doesn't use TZ anymore. Not good in my book, everyone makes mistakes - only a good fridgy will admit it and learn from it.
