Family homes and small premises

Roodepoort grew steadily through the twentieth century, so its housing stock spans decades and its older streets carry the same electrical story as the rest of the West Rand (source: Wikipedia). A dedicated circuit and an isolator for the unit are the first things to settle.

The suburb also has a large number of small business premises, from hairdressers to workshops, where a unit often has to cool a space that is entered from the street all day. Those jobs sit between a home installation and a full commercial fit-out.

In an older family home the usual answer is a split unit for the main bedroom or the living area, sized to the room and placed where it will not blow onto a bed or a desk. The pipe run is rarely the hard part; the electrical supply often is.

Ask the contractor to size the room properly rather than matching a unit to the floor area alone. What size aircon do I need explains what else counts.

Small premises on a main road

A shop or a salon with a street frontage takes in heat every time the door opens, so the load is higher than the floor area suggests. A contractor who works on these premises will ask how many people are in the space and how often the door is used.

Where the premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the condenser position. Commercial aircon covers the larger jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Roodepoort?

Yes, from the older family streets to the small business nodes. The contractor who covers your area will contact you.

My house is old. Will the wiring take an aircon?

Usually with a dedicated circuit and an isolator, and sometimes with work at the board. The contractor checks the supply before quoting.

Can you cool a small shop?

Yes. Say what the premises are used for and how many people are in it, because that changes the load and the unit.
