Before the quote: measuring your rooms
A good air conditioner is, first of all, one of the right size. Before suggesting any unit, our technician visits to record what really drives the need: floor area and ceiling height, orientation, glazed surfaces, insulation, number of occupants, heat-producing appliances.
They also note the practical constraints: possible positions for the outdoor unit, length and routing of the pipework, condensate drainage, electrical supply. These factors determine feasibility and the real cost of the work. You then receive a free, detailed quote within two working days of your request.
Wall-mounted, floor console, ducted, multi-split: the right format
The format depends on your rooms, your use and the look you want.
- Wall-mounted (single split): one indoor unit per room, the most common choice in flats.
- Floor console: fitted low on the wall, ideal under sloping ceilings and in rooms with little height.
- Multi-split: several indoor units linked to a single outdoor unit, handy when façade space is limited.
- Ducted: the unit is hidden in a false ceiling and air is delivered through discreet grilles, popular in a renovated house as well as in a shop.
All of these are reversible air-to-air heat pumps: they cool in summer and can heat in spring and autumn. If you are still unsure, our advice service helps you compare the options.
Installation day
Work begins by protecting floors and furniture. Holes are drilled cleanly, refrigerant lines are shaped and insulated, and the fall of the condensate drain is checked. Trunking follows the lines of the room. The technician leaves a clean space, free of debris.
Handling refrigerant is reserved for a technician holding the refrigerant handling certificate. It is a legal requirement and, above all, a guarantee of proper workmanship.
Commissioning proven by readings
An air conditioner that starts up is not necessarily a well-installed one. Before commissioning, the circuit is vacuumed to remove air and moisture, then checked for tightness. The unit is then started and the technician records:
- return and supply air temperatures, and the difference between them;
- the current drawn;
- operating pressures;
- the absence of leaks at every joint.
These values appear in your commissioning report. They become your unit's baseline: at each servicing visit, new readings are compared with those from day one. The unit then joins our active vigilance programme, and we get back in touch before the next season.
Apartment buildings and commercial premises: permissions to plan for
In a jointly owned building, the outdoor unit often affects the appearance of the façade or the common areas. Approval from the general meeting is then required, and sometimes a planning declaration at the town hall. For commercial premises, the lease and the building rules may also govern the work.
We give you a precise technical sheet: dimensions, weight, position, fixing method, noise level stated by the manufacturer. It makes the vote easier and avoids back-and-forth. Property managers will find more detail on our jointly owned buildings page.
