Alair Air Conditioning supplies, installs, repairs and services air conditioners across Sandton. Our work covers family homes in Bryanston and Morningside, apartments in the Sandton CBD, and corporate offices, restaurants and retail spaces in and around Africa’s richest square mile. We handle the full job, from design and installation to servicing and repairs for years afterwards.
Sandton homeowners and businesses expect more from an air conditioner than cooling alone. It needs to be quiet, energy efficient and discreet, and it should suit the look of the space rather than spoil it. We design installations with all of that in mind, so your home, apartment or office stays comfortable through hot summers and cold Highveld winters.
Aircon Installation in Sandton
Homes and estates
We start by assessing each room: its size, ceiling height, glazing, sun exposure and how you use it. From there we recommend the right system and capacity.
- Ducted hideaway systems: the indoor units sit out of sight in the ceiling, with only slim grilles visible. They’re a popular choice for larger homes and newly renovated spaces.
- Midwall split units: quiet, efficient inverter units for bedrooms, studies and living areas.
- Cassette units: flush-mounted in the ceiling for a clean finish in open-plan living and entertainment areas.
Discreet, design-conscious installations
In a well-finished home, how an aircon looks matters as much as how it performs. We plan every installation carefully:
- Pipework is concealed in walls and ceilings wherever possible, or neatly trunked where it isn’t.
- Indoor units are placed for even airflow, without blowing directly onto seating or beds.
- Outdoor units go out of sight, away from bedrooms, patios and neighbours.
- We recommend quiet-rated units for bedrooms and home offices.
- Many modern units offer Wi-Fi control, so you can manage temperatures from your phone.
Apartments and high-rise buildings
Installing air conditioning in a Sandton apartment block takes more than technical skill. Most buildings have strict rules from the body corporate or building management, covering where outdoor units may be placed (balconies, plant rooms or designated areas), how pipework is routed through common property, permitted working hours, lift bookings and contractor access.
We manage this process for you:
- Supplying unit specifications and placement plans for building approval
- Working within approved hours and access procedures
- Protecting lifts, corridors and finishes during installation
- Leaving common areas clean when we’re done
Offices and commercial premises
- Cassette units: for offices, meeting rooms and reception areas
- Underceiling units: for restaurants, showrooms and open-plan spaces
- Floor standing units: for boardrooms and large rooms
- HVAC package systems: for larger commercial buildings
Aircon Repairs in Sandton
We repair all major air conditioner brands across Sandton, including systems other companies installed. Call us if your aircon:
- Is running but not cooling or heating properly
- Is leaking water onto walls, floors or ceilings
- Displays an error code or won’t respond to the remote or app
- Won’t switch on, or trips the power
- Has become noticeably louder
- Has ice forming on the pipes or coils
- Smells musty when it starts
We find the cause before quoting, and we explain the fault and the fix clearly. Typical problems include refrigerant leaks, blocked condensate drains, failed capacitors or fan motors, and control board faults. If an older system isn’t worth repairing, we’ll recommend an efficient replacement instead.
Aircon Servicing in Sandton
Regular servicing keeps your aircon quiet, efficient and reliable, and it helps avoid breakdowns at inconvenient times. Concealed and ducted systems especially tend to be forgotten until something goes wrong, so a service schedule matters even more for them.
An Alair service includes:
- Cleaning or replacing filters
- Cleaning the indoor coil and outdoor condenser
- Clearing condensate drains to prevent ceiling and wall leaks
- Checking refrigerant pressures
- Inspecting electrical connections and components
- Testing cooling and heating performance
Recommended intervals:
- Homes and apartments: once a year
- Offices and retail: every six months
- Restaurants, server rooms and high-use systems: every three months
We offer maintenance contracts for homeowners with multiple units, managing agents, sectional title schemes and commercial tenants.
Commercial Air Conditioning in Sandton
As one of South Africa’s leading business districts, Sandton has a high concentration of corporate head offices, financial services firms, hotels and upmarket retail. We provide air conditioning for:
- Corporate and professional offices: including tenant fit-outs in office towers, coordinated with landlords and building managers
- Boardrooms and meeting rooms: quiet systems that don’t interrupt presentations or calls
- Server and comms rooms: reliable, continuous cooling
- Restaurants, cafés and boutique hotels
