Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Pipe length, condenser position, drilling and the electrical scope move the final number more than the unit does. In the older parts of Edenvale the electrical scope is the usual surprise, so ask for it to be itemised rather than bundled.

Fifties to seventies housing on small stands. The established Edenvale streets carry compact houses on modest plots, which limits where a condenser can go without putting it under a neighbour’s window. Position is a negotiation as much as a technical decision.
Boards that predate air conditioning. A dedicated circuit is normal rather than exceptional on these houses, and on some the board itself needs attention first.
Greenstone and Modderfontein new-build. The newer developments on the edge of Edenvale are a different job entirely: cluster rules, cohort-age equipment and, on anything still under construction, the opportunity to run pipe before the walls close.
Solid walls mean core drilling. Double-brick construction is not a problem, but it is not a hole saw either, and it belongs in the quote.
Storm season takes out boards. Surge-induced control board failure is one of the most common repairs here through summer, and one of the easiest to design out.
Response Times and After-Hours
Edenvale sits centrally on the East Rand with good contractor coverage from Kempton Park, Bedfordview and Germiston, so response is generally quick. The useful question on an older house is whether the contractor handles the electrical work themselves or subcontracts it, because that decides whether the job is one visit or two.
If water is running out of an indoor unit, switch it off at the isolator before you do anything else. The water damage almost always costs more than the repair does.

Frequently Asked Questions
The neighbour’s wall is right there. Where does the outdoor unit go?
On a small Edenvale stand this is the real design question, and it is worth settling before anyone quotes. The constraints are airflow clearance around the condenser, keeping discharge air off a boundary wall, and not putting a compressor under someone’s bedroom window. Wall brackets, a roof position or a longer run to a better spot are the usual answers, and they price differently.
What does core drilling add?
Not much on its own, but it is the reason a double-brick house cannot be quoted at the same rate as a drywall one. It is slower, it needs the right equipment and it needs making good afterwards. Where it matters is when a contractor has quoted without seeing the wall and then discovers it.
Is it worth fitting surge protection retrospectively?
Yes, and it is a small job. An arrester on the aircon circuit costs a fraction of the control board it protects, and boards are frequently the point at which repairing an older unit stops making sense. If you have already lost one PCB to a storm, fitting protection before the next summer is straightforward.
Do I really need surge protection on the aircon circuit?
On the Highveld it is one of the better things you can spend a small amount on. Summer here means afternoon thunderstorms most days for weeks at a stretch, and lightning-induced surge is the leading cause of control board failure on domestic units. The arrester costs a fraction of the board it protects, and boards are frequently the point where a repair stops being worth doing.
Can I use the aircon for heating in winter?
Most inverter splits sold here are reverse-cycle and heat perfectly well, which matters more on the Highveld than on the coast, since June and July nights regularly sit at or below freezing. Running one in heating mode costs a fraction of what a bar heater does for the same room. Ask whether the model you are quoted heats, and how it behaves on a cold morning when it has to run a defrost cycle.
My unit needs gas every year. Is that normal?
No. A sealed system does not consume refrigerant, so a unit that needs topping up annually has a leak, and topping it up is paying for the symptom. Ask for the leak to be found and repaired, with the system then evacuated and charged by weight rather than by pressure.
