Choosing an aircon & HVAC company in Rondebosch: what to ask
Many aircon & HVAC providers around Rondebosch don't publish prices, call-out terms or warranties. Ask any company these questions — here is how MEM answers them.
Will they size the unit properly?
Yes. We size every system on site from room size, ceiling height, sun exposure and insulation — and you can check the estimate yourself with the BTU calculator.
Is the quote written and itemised?
Always. You get a written quote covering equipment, materials, electrical work and labour, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Do they fix gas leaks before regassing?
Yes. Low refrigerant means a leak, so we find and repair it, pressure-test and vacuum the system before recharging — no repeat top-ups.
What warranty do you get?
New units carry the manufacturer's warranty, and repairs carry a written 1 to 6-month warranty depending on the work.
Can they handle the electrical side?
Yes. Our own electricians install dedicated circuits and surge protection, with a Certificate of Compliance where required.
Are they there when it breaks?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 and you get an arrival estimate when you call.
