Common questions
Who carries out the work?
A qualified local installer carries out the work. Your quote sets out who does what, the price and the terms.
Does requesting a quote commit me to anything?
No. You decide whether to go ahead after reading the installer's quote.
How do I choose between single-split and multi-split?
A single-split suits one room or open-plan space. A multi-split serves several rooms from one outdoor unit, which helps where outdoor space or approval is limited.
Can air conditioning also heat my home?
Yes, if it is reversible. Reversible systems are air-to-air heat pumps, so ask for the heating output as well as the cooling output.
Do I need permission for an outdoor unit?
Often. In a French copropriété (a co-owned building) (a co-owned building), a unit mounted on common parts or changes the building's appearance usually needs approval from the owners' general meeting, and a planning declaration to the town hall may also apply. In Monaco, ask your building manager and the local authorities.
What should I do if I live abroad for part of the year?
Say so in your request. Agree access, who will be on site, how you will sign off the work and who will arrange servicing.
What should a quote include?
The equipment, the position of each unit, the pipe route, removal of any old unit, approvals and who handles them, warranty terms and the cost of servicing.
How often does a system need servicing?
Follow the manufacturer's schedule, which can be a condition of the warranty. Larger systems may also need periodic leak checks by law.
