The importance of booking a site inspection before buying an Air Conditioner

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.

Our motto has always been ‘Do it right the first time!’. Let our professional and experienced sales consultant assist you to determine the best solution for your requirements. We guarantee 100% satisfaction every time.
