Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Pipe length, condenser position, drilling and the electrical scope move the final number more than the unit does. In a complex the position is frequently set by the body corporate, and that is what determines the run rather than the shortest route.

Complex stock from the eighties and nineties. Weltevredenpark is dominated by townhouse developments from a twenty-year window, which means shared walls, limited external elevation and a body corporate with a view on anything visible.
Trustee approval is the slow part. The installation itself is usually a morning. Getting agreement on where the condenser sits, and what it is screened with, is what sets the timeline.
Units reaching end of life together. Where a complex fitted air conditioning as a batch, the machines fail as a batch, and replacement is a more common conversation than repair.
Very little external wall to work with. In a tightly built complex the viable condenser positions are few and often already occupied, which makes a longer pipe run or a multi split the practical answer.
West Rand dust. Close enough to the open western ground that condensers foul faster through the dry months than they do in the northern suburbs.
Response Times and After-Hours
Weltevredenpark is well covered by contractors working across Roodepoort and Randburg, so attendance is rarely the constraint. In a complex the sequence that works is: get the body corporate rules first, then quotes against those rules, then trustee sign-off, then installation. Doing it in that order avoids paying for a quote that cannot be built.
If water is running out of an indoor unit, switch it off at the isolator before you do anything else. In a complex the water frequently ends up in a neighbour’s unit, which is a more expensive problem than the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need from the body corporate before I start?
The rules on external units, in writing if you can get them, and confirmation of where the condenser may go. Some schemes have a standard position and a specified trunking colour; others require a written application with a sketch. Getting this before quoting means the price you accept is the price for the installation that is actually allowed.
Can I put the condenser on the roof of my section?
Sometimes, but it is almost always a trustee decision rather than yours, because the roof is usually common property even where the section below it is not. Where it is permitted it solves the space problem neatly. Where it is not, a longer run to a permitted ground position is the fallback.
Everyone in our complex is replacing theirs at once. Is there an advantage to doing it together?
Usually a meaningful one. A contractor doing six units in one complex on the same day is not travelling six times, not setting up six times and buying six of the same machine, and that generally comes back as a better price. It is also easier to get one condenser position and trunking standard approved for everyone than six individual applications.
Why do the filters clog so quickly?
Dust, mostly. Between roughly May and September there is no rain to settle it, and what the wind picks up off open veld, roadsides and construction ends up on your filters and coil. Indoor filters want rinsing monthly through that period rather than at a service interval, and the outdoor coil wants a proper wash before the heat arrives.
My neighbour’s aircon failed and mine is the same age. Should I replace it?
It is a good prompt to have it checked, not a reason to replace it outright. Where houses or units went up in the same phase the machines are usually the same age, brand and spec, so they do tend to fail as a group. A service with running pressures and current draw recorded is the cheap way to find out whether yours is near the end or has years left.
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.
