What to consider before buying an aircon
Our dedicated installation and repair teams are highly trained in what they do. This is very important as you can buy a good quality brand of air conditioner, but if it is not installed correctly you will have endless problems.
Â
Do it right the first time!
Do a reference check
Once you have received your quotes, contact the supplier of the brand you have selected to do a reference check on the companies to ensure that they are reputable and a pre-qualified installer of the product so that you don’t have issues with possible warranty claims down the line.
Quality of the materials used
The materials we use in our installations and repairs are of a high standard and we never deviate from this. Lower quotations could mean lower standards in the materials. An example would be aluminium piping rather than copper. Using aluminium during the initial installation could save you costs now, but will cost you more in the long run during services and repairs.
Always book a site inspection
When you buy an air conditioning unit online without a site inspection you run the risk of incurring additional costs and frustrations. We will do an assessment free of charge before recommending the best unit to suit your needs and pocket.
Room size Btu per m²
Every room is different from the next, so working on a Btu per m² formula as an average often works, but also fails as certain rooms have much higher heat loads than others. Let our professional and experienced sales consultant assist you in assessing the requirement of the room. We guarantee 100% satisfaction every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should our aircon be serviced?
Your air conditioner is just like a car which needs regular services. Dust and dirt accumulate in the fans, filters, and coils which can damage the internal components and decrease the efficiency with which the unit works. The frequency of services on an air conditioning unit would depend on the environment in which the unit is installed as well as its usage. The rule of thumb is 1 to 2 services a year, but there are conditions which may influence the frequency of services:
The environment
If your aircon is situated close to a construction site, industrial area or the ocean, we recommend 2 to 4 services a year due to corrosion. The air around the ocean contains corrosive minerals which damage the copper coils over time while the dust and chemicals around construction and industrial areas settle in the unit making more regular cleaning and services necessary.
The usage
Commercial systems or aircon units that run every day will need more regular maintenance and repairs than a unit installed in a home where it runs less frequently. Just like a car that puts a lot of kilometres on the clock, the more it runs the faster you get to the point where a service is needed.
Neglecting regular maintenance will ensure a steady decline in air conditioning performance and air quality while its energy usage increases. As part of our installation service, Cool Intentions puts together service solutions for each client, which may include major and minor services during the year.
Let our professional and experienced sales consultants assist you in determining the best solution for your requirements. We guarantee 100% satisfaction every time.

Why is it important to service our aircon unit regularly?
Investing in an air conditioner is one thing, having it perform optimally is another. Whether you enjoy the comfort of an aircon in your home or office it is important to understand that buying an aircon is like buying a car – if you don’t maintain it, it will break down, be less fuel efficient and in the end cost you a lot more than you bargained for. Unlike a car, if you don’t maintain your air conditioner, you can’t sell it to recover some of your money.
Most people wait until their air conditioning unit breaks before booking a service. These breakdowns could very well be prevented if preventative maintenance is carried out annually, saving costs and frustration.
Here are some important reasons to book that annual service:
- Prevent breakdowns & maintain the warranty
When an aircon breaks down due to lack of maintenance it will not be covered by the warranty from the supplier. Not only will you have to carry the costs, but you may have to replace the entire unit.
- Keep electricity costs down
Preventative maintenance ensures that the unit’s performance is optimal. It helps the equipment conserve energy which in turn will keep your electricity costs low.
- Prolong the lifespan of the unit
Preventative maintenance ensures that any small problems can be rectified before it becomes bigger and more expensive.
- Improve Air Quality
An air conditioning unit that has not been serviced circulates unclean air through your home or office. Your aircon cleans the air while in operation, however, this air is filled with dust and germs that get trapped inside the unit’s filter and coil which needs to be cleaned to remove this. The unit’s drain pan also needs to be cleaned as water that lies in the unit when not in operation builds up bacteria. Again, this drain pan is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized during a service. All of this means that instead of your aircon cleaning the room and making it healthy, it starts doing the opposite.
Bottom line:
Servicing your air conditioner regularly will not only save you money and frustration but ensure that many of the health risks associated with poor air quality can be greatly reduced or eliminated so that you, your family and employees can enjoy the comfort and clean air provided by your air conditioner.

Is it important to book a site inspection before buying an aircon unit?
Deciding to add air-conditioning to your home is an investment that can also improve the value of your home. There are many factors to consider prior to installation that will influence the price and efficiency of the unit. At Cool Intentions, we always put our clients’ needs first and will give them the best guidance and advice to ensure 100% satisfaction.
When you buy an air conditioning unit online without a site inspection you run the risk of incurring additional costs and frustrations. We will do an assessment free of charge before recommending the best unit to suit your needs and pocket.
The two main factors that will influence your energy consumption, the effectiveness of the unit and whether or not your warranty will be honoured, are position and size.
Position
An air conditioning unit must be installed in a position that ensures the maximum cooling/heating effect and the most efficient electricity usage while also being aesthetically pleasing. While modern units have been designed to complement a room, deciding on an outside unit will increase the cost of the installation.
Size
Letting a professional determine the best size air conditioning unit is probably the most important factor in the process.
With the rising cost of electricity in South Africa, buying an undersized aircon may save you a small amount at the time, but will cost you dearly going forward. When the unit is too small for the room it needs to cool, the compressor will run constantly but never achieve your desired temperature. Other issues include a loss in air quality while also using a tremendous amount of electricity.
Long term, this will lead to a shortened lifespan and the supplier will void the warranty.
Lastly, every room is different from the next, so working on a Btu per m² formula as an average often works but can fail as certain rooms have much higher heat loads than others.

What must I look out for when searching for an aircon installation company?
While it is incredibly easy to find a company that sells and installs air conditioning units in Cape Town, not all companies will give you the same quality of installation and service. With such a big investment, it is important to make sure you hire a reputable company to ensure the efficiency and longevity of your purchase. Here are some things you should beware of:
Getting a quote with no site inspection
To accurately judge the correct unit size, a contractor will need to perform a site inspection as your home’s size and layout, energy efficiency and the position of the unit will all play a determining role. Getting a quotation without a site inspection can lead to installing the wrong size aircon, or hidden costs. An example will be where the quote then states ‘piping lengths to be verified on the day of the installation’.
The price is very low
When a quote is much lower than expected, the contractor may use inferior materials when they do the installation. This will lead to breakdowns and extra costs down the line. Another reason an initial quote may be very low is that there are hidden fees that are only revealed once you go ahead with the installation.
Limited deals
When a salesperson is putting pressure on you to sign a contract, you need to be wary. A good contractor won’t pressure you into making a purchase.
No reviews or references
Any legitimate business has a website and/or social media pages where you will be able to see reviews and the services they offer. When no one you know has heard of the company, and there isn’t much of an online presence, you need to think twice about using that company.
Â
No written quote detailing the materials used
When a company is vague about the materials they use, it’s a red flag. Chances are they are either using inferior materials or inflating the cost.
At Cool Intentions Cape Town we are always transparent about our service and prioritise your needs as a client. Let our professional and experienced sales consultants assist you in determining the best solution for your requirements. We guarantee 100% satisfaction every time.

How do I know if my aircon needs repairs?
Call it Murphy’s Law, luck, or whatever you are comfortable with, but an aircon always seems to give out at the most inconvenient times. By becoming accustomed to the small signs that your air conditioner needs to be serviced, you can avoid surprises and large maintenance costs. The best practice remains to have a regular maintenance plan in place that has been set up for your specific unit and environment. Creating a plan like this is standard practice at Cool Intentions. Here are the most frequent signs of an air conditioning unit that needs maintenance:
It’s making a noise
If your aircon is making any grinding, squealing, scraping or any other unusual noise, it may be a belt or fan moving out of place. This can be easily repaired, but if ignored, can break, or compromise other parts within the unit.
It’s leaking
Any moisture leaking out of the unit is a problem. It can be a refrigerant leak, water from a broken or blocked tube or ice that formed inside the unit that started melting. In any case, it is a serious problem, and you should contact a specialist immediately.
It’s not cooling or heating properly
When this happens, it could indicate a variety of problems. Your thermostat could be broken, the ductwork could be blocked, or filters clogged up. The air conditioning specialist will be able to pinpoint the problem during the service.
Strange smells when turning the unit on
You are not supposed to smell anything when turning an air conditioner on. A musty smell could indicate mould within the unit while a strong smell could indicate burnt-out wires. When this occurs you should stop using the unit immediately until the problem is resolved as it could make you, your family or co-workers sick.
If you are experiencing any of the above signs you need to book a service as soon as possible to avoid losing the entire unit.
