Aircon installation

Helensburgh NSW, Australia

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a friendly Airtasker to help me finish the installation of a Kogan 2.6kW split system air conditioner. I've made a good start but have hit a couple of roadblocks and would love some expert help to get it done right! Here's the situation: • The AC unit is a Kogan 2.6kW split system. • I have already mounted the indoor unit and bracket and made some of the basic connections. • I've recently discovered that the installation kit is missing some crucial parts: the copper pipe extensions and insulation material. • I also need someone with the right tools to vacuum the pipes (a very important step I wasn't aware of!). The installation is for my office, which is a shipping container in my backyard. It's a fairly straightforward job for someone who knows what they're doing. I'm hoping to find someone who can help with: 1. Supply and installation of the necessary copper pipe extensions and insulation. 2. Using a vacuum pump to properly evacuate the pipes. 3. Finishing all the connections and ensuring the unit is running perfectly. I'm a friendly and flexible person and I'm happy to provide all the assistance I can. I'm keen to get this done efficiently and am open to discussing a fair price for your time and expertise. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks,
