Volume pricingAircon size calculator: what BTU do you need?
Answer four quick questions to get the right BTU size for your room, tuned for Durban's humidity.
Your room
Enter your room width and length to see the right unit size.
| Room area | Typical room | Recommended size |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 15 m² | Small bedroom, study, nursery | 9,000 BTU |
| 15–20 m² | Standard bedroom | 9,000–12,000 BTU |
| 20–30 m² | Main bedroom, small lounge, office | 12,000 BTU |
| 30–42 m² | Lounge, open-plan office | 18,000 BTU |
| 42–55 m² | Open-plan living area | 24,000 BTU |
| 55 m² + | Large open-plan, shop, commercial | Multiple units, custom quote |
Guide based on roughly 600 BTU per square metre for coastal KwaZulu-Natal, adjusted for sun, ceiling height and occupancy. Durban's humidity works aircons harder than inland, so when you're between sizes, size up. An oversized inverter unit simply runs slower, while an undersized unit runs flat-out and still struggles to dehumidify. Your final quote always confirms the correct size for your exact room.

Why Durban homes need the right aircon, properly installed. Durban's coastal humidity and salt air are hard on air conditioners, undersized units run flat-out and still can't dehumidify, and poorly installed pipework leads to gas leaks and water damage. That's why we only arrange certified installation, with vacuum-tested lines and workmanship guaranteed.

And while Durban is home base, we arrange aircon installation in Cape Town, Johannesburg and elsewhere in South Africa for commercial, office and multi-unit projects worth travelling for.
Aircon FAQs: prices, sizes and installation in Durban.
The things Durban customers ask us most.
How much does aircon installation cost in Durban?
Installation-only for a standard midwall split unit typically ranges from about R2,500 to R4,500, depending on pipe run length, wall type and unit position. A new 9,000 BTU aircon supplied and installed typically starts from around R8,000, with larger inverter units costing more. Every quote is free, firm and bundled, unit, installation and materials in one price.
How much does an aircon regas cost in Durban?
A regas (refrigerant gas refill) for a home split unit typically costs between R800 and R1,500, including a leak check. If your aircon keeps losing gas there's a leak that should be repaired first, otherwise the gas simply escapes again. We quote the exact price before any work starts.
What size aircon do I need for my room?
As a guide: 9,000 BTU suits a standard bedroom, 12,000 BTU a large bedroom or small lounge, and 18,000–24,000 BTU an open-plan living area or office. Durban's humidity means it's worth sizing up slightly. Send us your room dimensions and we'll recommend the right unit in your free quote.
Inverter vs non-inverter aircon, which is better?
Inverter aircons adjust compressor speed instead of switching on and off, so they typically use 30–50% less electricity, run quieter and hold temperature better, the right choice for rooms you cool daily. Non-inverter units cost less upfront and suit rooms used occasionally. We quote both options so you can compare.
Do I lose the manufacturer warranty if I don't buy from a big retailer?
No, what protects your warranty is certified installation, not where you bought the unit. Every installation we arrange is done by a qualified technician, which keeps your manufacturer warranty fully valid, and workmanship is guaranteed.
Why is my aircon not cooling?
The most common causes are dirty filters, low refrigerant gas from a slow leak, a faulty capacitor, or a failing compressor. Durban's coastal salt air also corrodes outdoor units faster than inland. A technician can usually diagnose the fault on the first visit and quote the repair before doing any work.
How often should an aircon be serviced?
In Durban, every 6 to 12 months. Coastal humidity and salt air cause mould, blocked drains and corrosion faster than inland, so units near the coast benefit from twice-yearly servicing. Regular servicing keeps electricity usage down and prevents expensive repairs.
How long does an aircon installation take?
A standard midwall split installation takes about 3–5 hours, including mounting, vacuum-tested pipework, trunking and commissioning. Multi-unit and commercial installations are scheduled per site, usually with one point of contact and one invoice.
Do you do commercial and office air conditioning in Durban?
Yes. We arrange supply, installation and maintenance of air conditioning for offices, shops and multi-unit buildings across Durban, with volume pricing, one invoice and installation scheduled around your working hours.
Do you only work in Durban?
Durban and surrounds is home base, with the fastest turnaround. For the right jobs, especially offices, commercial spaces and multi-unit installations, we arrange vetted installers in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and elsewhere in South Africa. Send your request with your city and we'll confirm within 24 hours whether we can quote it.
How do I pay?
Once you accept your free quote, we invoice you directly. A deposit secures your unit and installation date, with the balance due on completion. EFT is standard, ask us about other options.
