What is the Total Cost of Buying and Installing an Air Conditioner?
The total cost of buying and installing an air conditioner consists of two main components: the cost of the air conditioner itself and the cost of installation.
- Cost of the Air Conditioner: This is the price displayed for each air conditioner model in our catalogue.
- Cost of Installation: This is split into two parts: labour costs and material costs.
The installation cost as a whole is determined on a case-by-case basis, as each site has its own unique requirements and challenges. We conduct a thorough site assessment to provide an accurate and tailored installation quote.
Please note that customers who purchase an air conditioner along with our installation service may be eligible for VAT exemption. This can lead to considerable savings on the overall cost.
Understanding the nuances of pricing can be intricate, and we're devoted to ensuring transparency every step of the way. If you have any questions or need clarity on costs, pricing, or any other aspect, we're just a call away.
What Kind of Warranty and After-Sales Service Can I Expect?
Purchasing an air conditioner is a significant investment, and we understand the importance of feeling secure in your decision. That's why all of our air conditioners come with a manufacturer's warranty, the specifics of which vary by model and manufacturer. This warranty will cover any defects in the product or issues that arise under normal use.
In addition to the manufacturer's warranty, we offer a workmanship warranty on our installation service to ensure the air conditioner has been installed correctly and is functioning as intended.
After your purchase, we provide after-sales support and service. If any issue arises or if you have any questions about your new air conditioner, our team is ready to assist. We believe in not just selling a product, but providing a comprehensive service that leaves you feeling cool and comfortable.

How Do I Maintain My Air Conditioner Post-Installation?
Regular maintenance is key to the longevity and efficiency of your air conditioner. Here's a basic guide on how to maintain your unit:
1. Regular Cleaning: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the filters, reducing the air conditioner's efficiency. It's recommended to clean the filters every few weeks during high-use periods.
2. Professional Maintenance: Depending on your unit and usage, it's a good idea to schedule a professional maintenance service annually or bi-annually. Our team can help ensure the unit is operating effectively and identify any potential issues before they become serious problems.
3. Monitor Performance: Pay attention to how your air conditioner is performing. If you notice any changes such as strange noises, less effective cooling, or an increase in your energy bill, it might be time for a service call.
4. Usage: While our air conditioners are built to handle heavy usage, being mindful of energy consumption can prolong the lifespan of the unit. Using the unit responsibly and turning it off when not in use can reduce wear and tear.
Remember, regular maintenance not only helps your unit last longer but also saves you money by maintaining energy efficiency. If you have any questions about maintaining your air conditioner or if you notice any problems, please contact us for support.
