Air-conditioning advice grounded in measurements

Reasoned answers, backed by figures, so you can decide with full knowledge before buying, replacing or repairing.

  • Recommendations justified by readings
  • No brand or model imposed
  • Technical notes for co-owners and landlords

Advice based on figures, not on a catalogue

Choosing an air conditioner, deciding whether to replace it or understanding why it uses too much power: these questions deserve more than a hunch or a sales pitch. Our approach is to observe, measure, then recommend.

We are not tied to any brand. Our advice focuses on what matters to you: the comfort achieved, electricity use, noise level, footprint, budget. Whether the project concerns your home or your business, the method is the same and the decision always stays with you.

Questions you can ask us

  • What capacity for my rooms? We estimate the need from floor area, orientation, glazing and use, rather than from a rough rule of thumb.
  • Which type of unit? Wall-mounted, floor console, multi-split or ducted: each format has strengths and limits, which we set out plainly.
  • Where should the outdoor unit go? Noise for neighbours, access for servicing, condensate drainage, façade constraints.
  • How can I cut my bill? Temperature settings, scheduling, use of shutters, servicing frequency.
  • What do the regulations say? Refrigerant handling certificate, leak checks depending on the charge, changes in permitted refrigerants.

Measuring before recommending

If you already have an air conditioner, we prefer to start from its actual condition. On site, our air-conditioning technician records return and supply air temperatures, the difference between them, the current drawn and, if needed, circuit pressures. They also look for possible leaks.

These readings answer concrete questions. Is the unit still delivering what it should? Is its consumption normal for its capacity? Would simple servicing restore its efficiency, or is a repair needed? The conclusions are given to you in writing, with the measured values.

Energy efficiency: the settings that count

A well-adjusted unit uses less power. A few simple principles make a real difference:

  • aim for a moderate set point in summer, only a few degrees below the outdoor temperature;
  • close shutters or blinds during the hottest hours;
  • avoid switching the unit off and on several times a day;
  • keep filters clean, washing them regularly;
  • have the unit checked every year to follow how its readings evolve.

Our active vigilance then supports you over time: we keep your unit's history and get back in touch before each season.

Co-owners, landlords, commercial premises: preparing the paperwork

Installing an outdoor unit in an apartment building often requires approval from the general meeting of co-owners. A tenant needs the landlord's consent, and a shopkeeper must check the lease. For each case, we write a clear technical note: position, dimensions, fixing, noise level stated by the manufacturer, measures planned against vibration.

This document answers the usual questions in advance and makes the decision easier. Property managers can also consult our page on jointly owned buildings.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have to sell me a unit?

No. Our role is to help you decide. If the best option is to keep your unit and set it up better, we will say so. You remain free to entrust the installation or repair to anyone you choose.

My air conditioner uses a lot of power: can you find out why?

Yes, this is exactly where readings help. Temperature difference, current drawn and pressures show whether the unit is dirty, wrongly charged with refrigerant, wrongly sized or simply poorly set.

Is it better to repair or replace an old unit?

We compare the repair cost, the availability of parts, the refrigerant used and the measured consumption with that of a recent unit. You get a costed comparison, not an impression.
