+ What is air-conditioning BTU? BTU in air-conditioning is the abbreviation for British Thermal Unit, which is an energy unit, it is aproximately the energy needed to heat one pound of water for 1 Fahrenheit. 1 BTU = 1.055 joules . 1 BTU p/hour = 0.293 watt. An easier way to understand is that in Gauteng South Africa your require around 200 BTU per cubic meter when you are trying to calculate the air-conditioning size that will be required for your application. We specialize in the supply, installation, fault finding, repairs, services and maintenance on the following type of airconditioners, mid wall split, cassette, under ceiling, hide away and console airconditioners. We supply all leading brands of airconditioners like LG, Samsung, Carrier, Jet-Air, Alliance, IQ, Gree, Daikin, Dunhambush etc. These airconditioners are available in the following sizes: 9000, 12000, 18000, 24000, 30000, 36000, 42000, 48000 & 60000 BTU units, however, these are not the only sizes but they are the most common sizes. + How does air-conditioners operate? Air conditioners and refrigerators work the same way. Instead of cooling just the small, insulated space inside of a refrigerator, an air conditioner cools a room, a whole house, or an entire business. However, there are different measures of energy (BTU) per unit and therefore the room size must be taken into consideration in the installation of the appropriate unit. Air conditioners use chemicals that easily convert from a gas to a liquid and back again. This chemical is used to transfer heat from the air inside of a home to the outside air. The machine has three main parts. They are a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The compressor and condenser are usually located on the outside air portion of the air conditioner. The evaporator is located on the inside the house, sometimes as part of a furnace. That's the part that heats your house. The working fluid arrives at the compressor as a cool, low-pressure gas. The compressor squeezes the fluid. This packs the molecule of the fluid closer together. The closer the molecules are together, the high its energy and its temperature. The working fluid leaves the compressor as a hot, high pressure gas and flows into the condenser. If you looked at the air conditioner part outside of a house, look for the part that has metal fins all around. The fins act just like a radiator in a car and help the heat go away, or dissipate, more quickly. When the working fluid leaves the condenser, its temperature is much cooler and it has changed from a gas to a liquid under high pressure. The liquid goes into the evaporator through a very tiny, narrow hole. On the other side, the liquid's pressure drops. When it does it begins to evaporate into a gas. There is a vent there where air is sucked into the air conditioner and goes down ducts. The hot air is used to cool the gas in the evaporator. As the heat is removed from the air, the air is cooled. It is then blown into the house through other ducts usually at the floor level. This continues over and over and over until the room reaches the temperature you want the room cooled to. The thermostat senses that the temperature has reached the right setting and turns off the air conditioner. As the room warms up, the thermostat turns the air conditioner back on until the room reaches the temperature. + How do i decide on the right size air-conditioner? There are certain factors to consider when choosing the right size for your home or office such as if the room is heavily shaded then reduce capacity by 10 percent. If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10 percent. If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person. If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 BTUs. Consider where you install the unit. If you are mounting an air conditioner near the corner of a room, look for a unit that can send the airflow in the right direction. Here is a chart to help you choose what size you would be best for your needs. 9000 Btu ±16m² We specialize in the supply, installation, fault finding, repairs, services and maintenance on the following type of airconditioners, mid wall split, cassette, under ceiling, hide away and console airconditioners.

Air conditioners are available in different sizes and models, if you take the Samsung AR5001 inverter type air conditioners for an example, the unit is a triangular shape standard inverter type air conditioner running on the new R410A refrigerant gas, but it does not operate with any special air conditioner add on's like the non-bacterial filter, which the Samsung AR7000 inverter air conditioners has as an added extra, thus the air conditioner prices may differ at times. + Do we have 2nd hand air conditioners for sale? We only have new air conditioners for sale as we do not believe in putting 2nd hand air conditioners for sale to the public directly, the reason being, is that there is no way of knowing how the air conditioners have been maintained by the previous owner, so there is no way of estimating the future life expectancy of the unit. To sum it up we only have brand new air conditioners for sale yes. + Do we supply cheap air-conditioners?

We do air conditioning installations in the entire Gauteng and surrounding areas, we are not limited to Gauteng only, we actually do air conditioning installations around South Africa if that is what the client requires, however our main focus point of air conditioning installations would be around Gauteng as we are based in Centurion & Pretoria, most of our business is in the Centurion, Midrand, Sandton & Pretoria areas. + How to decide on which air conditioning companies to use? Unfortunately the air conditioning industry is a cut throat industry with a vast number of small entrepreneurs trying to make a living, this is forcing larger air conditioning companies to compete with the smaller air conditioning companies prices, which is not always a bad thing, however, the smaller "one man band's" may under charge on installations just to make a quick buck, because they dont have huge overheads like the larger air conditioning companies does, and also many times, these smaller one man bands just aren't successfull for long periods of time, and this is causing a concern to the end user, because the company installing the unit, is the company carrying the warranty of the installation. So make an informed decision by looking at the companies registration, VAT registration, land line telephone numbers and addresses for credibility of the company, also focus on how long they have been in business, this might give you an indication of whether they are staying or leaving the market. + Are we suppliers & installers of air-conditioners? We are infact suppliers & installers of air-conditioners in and around Gauteng, but also throughout South Africa, we are not importers of air-conditioners, we are mainly suppliers & installers of all the leading air-conditioning brands such as LG, Samsung, Carrier, Daikin, Jet-Air, Dunham Bush, Alliance etc. Our market is the end user of these air-conditioning units, we purchase directly from the agents or distributors and supply directly to the end users.
