Specify, then supply-and-fit
The brief is the rooms in Somerset West, Strand or Gordon's Bay: indoor position, outdoor position, pipe run, and whether the job is new or a replacement. We do not start from a brochure BTU.
Supply-and-fit new splits and replacements
Aircon installation in Somerset West
Aircon installation in Somerset West — supply-and-fit of new splits and replacements. Site visit, indoor and outdoor photos, suburb. Not an appliance shop.
01
A new air conditioner should be sized to the room, then supplied and fitted — not ordered off a shop brochure.
This is the supply-and-fit card for air conditioners in Somerset West. Somerset West Aircon specifies the indoor and outdoor units for the rooms, then installs them — a midwall split on a bedroom wall, a cassette in an office, a replacement on brackets that already exist. Houses, offices and shops in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay are the ordinary briefs. We are not an appliance retailer and not a BTU catalogue occupying this page. The visit is the start. Room size, how the indoor unit will sit on the wall or in the ceiling, where the outdoor condenser can go, how long the pipe run will be, and whether the job is back-to-back or a long route — those decide the spec. Helderberg houses often want a split in the room that overheats in summer. An office often wants a cassette. We will not pretend every cottage needs a concealed ducted system, and we will not paste a shop tariff onto this card. A new install is one brief. A replacement on the same brackets is another. Relocating an old unit to a different wall lives on the relocation card. A registered electrician fits the isolator at the outdoor unit; indoor and outdoor units have to be earthed. That is one sentence in the scope, not an electrician pack occupying this page. Send the suburb and photos of the rooms, or of the existing indoor and outdoor units if this is a replacement. We quote after the visit. No Rand figure is published. No warranty year is printed here. No brand specials are claimed as ours.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Split first; cassette and hide-away when the rooms ask
A bedroom wall usually takes a midwall split. An open-plan office often takes a cassette. Hide-away and ducted sit on supporting cards for larger or concealed jobs.
New fit or replacement on existing brackets
A first install and a swap onto brackets that already exist are both this card. Moving the indoor unit to a different wall lives on the relocation card.
Isolator is the electrician's line
A registered electrician fits the isolator at the condenser. Indoor and outdoor units have to be earthed. We write that as one line under the install.

Straight answers
Questions about aircon installation.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Do you supply and install in Somerset West, or only fit a unit I bought at a shop?+
We supply and fit. A shop-bought unit can be discussed as a fit-only brief after we have seen both positions. We are not an appliance retailer.
What is a back-to-back split installation versus a long pipe-run?+
Back-to-back is indoor and outdoor close, short pipe. A long run is a different scope — extra pipe, drain, how we route it. The visit measures that. No metre tariff is printed here.
Split, cassette or ducted — which do you install on a house?+
Most Helderberg houses take a midwall split. Cassette for open-plan or office. Ducted or hide-away for larger or concealed jobs, not the default cottage. The visit picks the type.
Do you size in BTU to the room, or do I pick 12 000 or 18 000 off a brochure?+
We size to the room on the visit. Brochure picking is a shop habit. This card is not a BTU catalogue.
Inverter versus non-inverter — what changes on the install?+
The outdoor compressor and how it ramps. Running-cost figures are not printed. Ask on the visit. Inverter supply-and-fit has its own supporting card.
Is an isolator required, and is that you or an electrician?+
An isolator at the outdoor unit is required. A registered electrician fits it. Indoor and outdoor units have to be earthed.
How long does a typical midwall split take?+
It depends on pipe run and access. No install duration is printed here. Ask on the visit.
Do you publish aircon prices or a warranty year on this card?+
No Rand figure and no warranty year written as ours. Pipe run, type, access and whether it is new or a replacement shape the quote after the visit.
