Warranty Information

What should I choose: a 'Wall Mounted' or 'Floor Standing' split system?

This should be determined by an authorised technician or installer after visiting your home or workplace. Apart from the difference in features, capacity range and the location of the installation, heating works more efficiently with a floor standing unit. This is because the air is thrown out closer to floor level.

Does your Aircon Help with Humidity?

Yes , it does help with humidity if properly maintained your humidity should be between 40 to 60%

Which Aircon works best for Energy Saving ?

Inverter units are used for energy saving purposes.

What can we extend the the lifespan of an Aircon ?

  • Aircon needs to be serviced according to the Warranty terms.
  • Galvanizing units will also extend the lifespan.

When should I replace my Aircon ?

  • If the cost of the Aircon repair exceed a new purchase
  • Your Aircon has a lifespan of about 10 years , when it starts giving a problem there could be no parts available anymore as that range has been discontinued.
  • The older your unit becomes the less energy efficient it gets , so your cost of electricity will be higher than the cost of purchase.

What is the difference between Inverter & Non-Inverter ?

  • Inverters are more energy efficient as the compressor adjusts the speed based on the demand of the system, and Non-Inverter is Standard.
  • With South Africa introducing an EER standard whereby units need to maintain a certain EER(Energy Efficiency Ration) so all units will be more power efficient than the previous ranges.
