Not a good unit at all. Backup service terrible. Go for a more popular brand - in my experience brivis are very good and if you search around on the…

REWORK PROGRAM FOR BRIVIS EVAPORATIVE COOLERS
Brivis Australia Pty Ltd has identified a potential defect in the supply fan motor starting device of some of its evaporative cooler units sold in…

my only suggestion to people who say you need a L43, 53 or 63 is to ask them to show you the calculation they have done. Brivis provide all dealers…

almost all heating thermostats have printed on there somewhere 'Cooling' - but unless cooling was installed it just does nothing (:oops:)
no harm in trying and hoping you got free cooling…

stop the heat from hitting the window with external shading/covers. Internally a heavy drape/blinds will help as well... but the theory is stop the heat from hitting the window
cheers

all i can tell you is they haven't been around very long and are considered the 'cheap end' of the market. No where near the features as the brivis contour…

Anton - with older units and 3 star units this is quite common. As soon as the heater gets the signal to turn on the fan starts and the burners…

the pipes can only connect to one side of the unit (right hand side from memory) ... they may just run the pipes behind the compressor and around after the…

i agree - bigger is better
brivis will tell u to size it properly and the downfall of too big is that on low speed you will hear the unit... in…

for evap cooling i would say no.
we did a little experiment here. took a 100w light bulb and put it in a r0.6 duct for a day. at the end…

From my experience:
Evaporative - 5 to 10c per hour
Refrigerated A/C - $1.00 to $1.20 per hour
Huge difference!
However on a humid day you will be cursing the evaporative cooler. In…

Ok here are my thoughts
1) Should we get an all-in-one system that cools and heats? Ultimately we would like to keep the running costs to a minimum (wouldn't we all!)
Comes…

most heating/cooling companies can provide a service on ducted heaters and evaporative coolers. brivis also do it but can take a while to get there.
The last poster is correct about…

brivis will only fix the heater - everything after the heater like ducting, bends, branches, boots and vents are the installers responsibility. Sounds like one of the ducts may be…

daikin out of that bunch - but the actronair digitial scroll is also a very good unit
however keep in mind that electric heating can be very expensive, particularly here in…

don't get me wrong, the bonaire integra is still a good unit - not one of the 'cheapies'. bonaire also make a summerbreeze from memory - thats the cheap one.…

ok IMHO these are how they rate
1 - Breezeair (are the quiestiest technically)
2 - Brivis Contour Series (almost first due to aquasave)
then i would go with
Brivis (rest of the range)
Braemar…

Technically Breezeair are the quitest on the market, that was a few years ago. It was a few years ago that I was able to hear a brivis and breezaire…

electricity has never been my 'thing' however a few things I do know:
Either phase will give you the same output. ie a 12kW single or three phase will still do…

the below info is correct!
Brivis units will lower fan speed and burner strength when you close a zone, even if you close off one outlet manually - which is fantastic..…

i love it when someone asks your opinion then swears at you. oh the joys of forums.
With brivis if you service your heater every year they will fix a breakdown…

well in short - better backup service, better parts used in the heater, less breakdowns.
It is kinda a holden V ford thing. There will be some people swearing by…

Yes - if you can use robes, cavities it will make the system much more effective. Ideally do it whilst framing for obvious reasons. The one over the staircase is…

first question - no evap can't be converted to refig or vice-versa. Now the real fun begins - if you need a new heating system AND want refrig cooling then…

cheap rubbish - in this industry you GET exactly what you PAY for...

daikin are the best - if you are going to be in the place for 5+ years - worthwhile investment in my opinion... very quiet and made very very well...…

the intlet grille should only be about 50mm deep normally, some are only 20mm deep - others up to 90mm.
With the backup service I believe that brivis is much quicker…

been in the industry for 13 years - brivis is best by far !

load of rubbish the guy is telling you joe - he's only pushing braemar for his own reasons (more profit probably)
brivis have a deal on this month where dealers get…

Hi joe,
ideally the return air should be at floor level to help keep the heat down at floor level... brivis will actually not guarantee their systems to work properly if…
