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.
