With rising summer temperatures, more and more people are looking to install air conditioning in their homes. And there’s no shortage of installers ready to offer quick, low cost options.
But cutting corners often means compromising on quality, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
That’s why scheduling a home site survey should be your first step. It’s the best way to protect yourself from poorly planned installations, unexpected costs, and systems that fail to meet your needs.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose us for your air conditioning installation - from your first survey to post-installation follow-up.
A home site survey is more than a box-ticking exercise. It’s a crucial step to ensure your air conditioning suits both your home and your lifestyle.
Here’s why it’s essential:
Tailored Recommendations: Every home is different, and a survey is key to understanding factors like room sizes, insulation levels, and existing infrastructure. It’s also key to understanding how you use each space, and what that means for your cooling needs.
Accurate Pricing: Without a home survey, it’s impossible to know the specifics of your property. And that means it's impossible to provide an accurate quote. During our visit we take detailed measurements, assess the layout, and consider any potential challenges, protecting you from unexpected costs.
Expert Guidance: You’re likely to have questions about the options available to you, and the work involved in their installation. A home survey is the perfect time to have these answered by a professional, knowledgeable technician.
When you book a site survey with us, you can expect a thorough and professional process. Here’s what we do:
Assess Your Home: One of our qualified technicians will visit your property to assess its layout, insulation, and existing electrical setup. This helps us determine the most efficient system for your needs.
Discuss Your Options: We’ll talk you through various systems, explaining the pros and cons of each. Whether you’re looking for a quiet bedroom unit or a powerful system for open-plan living, we’ll provide options tailored to your home.
Take Measurements and Photos: Precise measurements of your rooms and windows, along with photos, ensure the recommended system fits seamlessly into your space.
Answer Your Questions: Have concerns about energy efficiency, noise levels, or installation time? We’ll answer any questions you have, giving you peace of mind in your investment, and our standards of service.
From the moment your survey is complete, we focus on making the rest of the process as smooth and transparent as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
Once the survey is complete, we’ll carefully review the data to identify the best air conditioning solutions for your home. We only recommend systems from leading manufacturers, ensuring top-notch performance and reliability.
Within two working days, you’ll receive a detailed quote. This will include:
We’ll review the proposal with you and make any adjustments based on your feedback before moving forward.
Once you approve the quote, we’ll send you a pre-works questionnaire to gather important details about your property, such as parking restrictions or specific access requirements.
Alongside this, we’ll issue a proforma invoice for 50% of the total cost. After payment is received, we’ll coordinate with you to schedule a convenient installation date.
On installation day, our team of qualified engineers will arrive promptly and ensure the process runs smoothly:
After the installation, we’ll walk you through the system, explaining how to use and maintain it effectively. You’ll also receive all documentation via email, including warranties, compliance certificates, and user manuals.
We don’t just finish the installation and disappear. About a week later, we’ll check in to ensure everything is working as it should and address any questions. During this visit, we’ll provide hard copies of your documentation in a professional file for your records.
