Aircon Installation in Bryanston

Bryanston, Sandton

Bryanston is one of the original Sandton suburbs and falls under the City of Johannesburg. It is bounded by the N1 Western Bypass to the north and split by Bryanston Drive, with William Nicol Drive and Main Road carrying most of the traffic. Houses here traditionally stood on large stands, some an acre or more, in established gardens. Over the years many of those properties have been redeveloped into gated complexes of smaller homes.

Bryanston Properties We Work On

Bryanston's shopping is spread across smaller centres such as Nicolway, Grosvenor Centre, Bryanston Shopping Centre and Hobart Grove, and the suburb is also home to corporate campuses and Mediclinic Sandton. Shops, practices and offices all rely on their aircons through long days.

Aircon Installation in Bryanston, Plus the Rest

New installations

In an older house we plan the pipe route, drain and electrical supply around the existing structure before quoting. In a newer complex, the body corporate decides where condensers may go. Read how we approach aircon installation and home air conditioning.

Repairs and regassing

Faults are diagnosed and fixed on site. Low refrigerant always means a leak, which we repair before regassing. If your unit is struggling, book a repair visit or call 0861 995 092. See aircon repairs.

Servicing

A yearly aircon service is especially worthwhile under Bryanston's big trees, where leaves and seed pods end up in outdoor coils.

Replacing an older system

Plenty of established Bryanston homes still run aircons fitted a long time ago, some on R22 refrigerant, which is being phased out. When one of these develops a leak or a compressor fault, replacing it with a modern inverter split is usually the better spend. A new unit can often reuse a sensible existing position, though old pipework is normally replaced rather than trusted with a different refrigerant. Inverter models also heat efficiently, which helps through cold Highveld winters.

Before we quote: what helps

1. List the rooms. Tell us which rooms need cooling or heating and roughly how big each one is. Three or more rooms may suit a multi-split rather than separate units.
2. Photograph the outside walls. Pictures of the walls where an outdoor unit could go, and of the route back to the room, show us early whether a long pipe run is involved.
3. Check your distribution board. Note whether there is spare space on the board. If there isn't, a registered electrician will need to add a dedicated circuit.
4. Get the rules in writing. In a complex or estate, ask the body corporate or HOA for its guidelines on condenser positions, screening and core drilling.
