Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Pipe length, condenser position and the electrical scope move the final number more than the unit does. In Rosebank the two lines that dominate are getting equipment to height and getting condensate back down, neither of which arises on a suburban house.

High-rise apartments with nowhere obvious for a condenser. In an apartment block the outdoor unit has to go on a balcony, a bracket or a designated roof position, and all three are scheme decisions rather than owner decisions.
Getting plant to height. Above roughly the third floor, equipment goes up by hoist or crane rather than by hand, and that is booked, scheduled and charged accordingly.
Condensate has a long way to fall. Draining an indoor unit in a flat frequently means a pump and a routed discharge rather than a pipe through the wall, and getting that wrong shows up on somebody else’s balcony.
Scheme rules on anything visible. Facade appearance is governed by the body corporate, and trunking colour, bracket type and unit position are usually specified.
Retail and office after-hours work. Around the malls and the towers, installation happens outside trading, with the access and surcharge that implies.
Response Times and After-Hours
Rosebank is well covered, and for apartments the practical constraint is almost always the building rather than the contractor: lift access, roof access, and trustee approval for the condenser position. Establishing those before you accept a quote is what keeps the price on the quote.
If water is running out of an indoor unit, switch it off at the isolator before you do anything else. In a block the water goes downwards into another unit, and that is a considerably more expensive problem than the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am in a flat. Where does the outdoor unit actually go?
Normally a balcony position, a wall bracket where the scheme permits it, or a shared roof plant area. Which of those is available is a body corporate answer, not a contractor answer, so it is the first thing to establish. A balcony position is simplest but takes up balcony space and needs clear airflow; a roof position is tidier but costs more to install and to service later.
Why does my flat need a condensate pump?
Because there is rarely a natural fall from where the indoor unit sits to anywhere it may legitimately drain. A pump lifts the water to a routed discharge point instead. It adds roughly R1,800 to R3,500 and it is far better done at installation than after water has appeared on a neighbour’s balcony, which is how these things usually come to light.
Can I install without body corporate approval?
You can physically, and it regularly ends badly. External walls, balcony facades and roofs are almost always common property, so an unapproved condenser can be ordered removed at your cost. The application is usually straightforward and most schemes already have a standard. It is a short delay against a real risk.
Does load shedding damage an aircon?
Two things do the damage, and neither is the outage itself. Repeated hard restarts are hard on a compressor that has not had time to equalise, and the surge when supply comes back is a very common cause of control board failure. A time-delay relay and a surge arrester on the circuit deal with both and cost far less than a PCB.
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.
Does Johannesburg’s altitude affect what size aircon I need?
Mildly, and it is worth knowing about. At roughly 1,700 m the air is thinner than the sea-level conditions a unit is rated at, so the same machine moves a little less heat for the same airflow. Nobody applies a formula to it on a domestic job, but it is one of the reasons a borderline room is better served by the next size up than by the smaller unit on the spec sheet.
