Aircon Installation in Edenvale
ARS handles aircon installation in Edenvale for newer townhouses in Greenstone, established family homes in Dowerglen, Edenglen and Eastleigh, and offices and workshops in Sebenza. We also repair, service and regas existing units.
Edenvale, part of the City of Ekurhuleni, is two kinds of suburb side by side. The older parts, such as Eastleigh, Illiondale and Edenvale Central, are established areas where many homes have been renovated over the years, while Dowerglen and Edenglen are the more upmarket suburbs. North of town, Greenstone Hill and Greenstone Park are newer developments, full of townhouse complexes and anchored by Greenstone Shopping Centre.
Planning an aircon installation in Edenvale
A newer Greenstone townhouse and an established family home need different approaches to installation. The townhouse is usually about body corporate rules and limited outside wall space. The older home is more often about the electrical board, long pipe runs and big living areas. Our installation service begins with a site visit for both, so the size, placement and electrical work are agreed before you're quoted.
Already have units? We carry out aircon repairs, servicing and leak repair with regassing on all makes and models. Neighbouring Bedfordview, Kempton Park and Germiston are covered too.
From Greenstone complexes to Sebenza workshops
In Greenstone's townhouse complexes, the outdoor unit usually has to go where the conduct rules allow: a side wall, a small courtyard or a bracket out of sight from the street. We'll work with your approved position and route pipes and drains neatly so the finish meets the body corporate's standards. Our article on installing aircon in a complex or estate explains what to ask for.
Family homes in Dowerglen, Edenglen and Illiondale often have open-plan living areas and bedrooms facing the afternoon sun. Correct sizing matters here. An undersized unit runs flat out and still can't keep up, while an oversized one cycles on and off and leaves the room clammy. For homes needing several units, residential air conditioning covers multi-room options.
Sebenza and the industrial parts of Eastleigh and Isandovale are home to workshops, factories and offices. Units there run longer and gather more dust, so we look at filter access and outdoor unit placement with servicing in mind.

Edenvale installation FAQs
Many bedrooms are well served by a 9,000 or 12,000 BTU split, but sun exposure, ceiling height, insulation and window size can push that up. A site assessment is the only reliable way to size a unit, which is why we visit before quoting.
Most complexes need body corporate or HOA approval for the outdoor unit's position, any core drilling through outside walls and how pipework is finished. Get the conduct rules and written approval before installation day so the job isn't delayed.
Usually, yes. Most splits should be on a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker and an isolator at the outdoor unit. That electrical work must be done by a registered electrician and is covered by an electrical Certificate of Compliance under SANS 10142-1.
For rooms used most days, an inverter unit is usually the better buy because it adjusts its speed instead of switching fully on and off, which saves power and keeps temperatures steadier. It is also generally better at heating on cold Highveld winter nights.
Most new inverter splits use R32 or R410A. R22 is being phased out under the Montreal Protocol and is not used in new units. Whoever handles the refrigerant should be registered with SAQCC Gas, so it is fair to ask any installer for proof.
The unit's size and type, the length of the pipe run between indoor and outdoor units, wall construction, working height, electrical work needed and any special mounting all play a part. You receive a free, no-obligation quote after the site visit.
