Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Pipe length, condenser position, drilling and the electrical scope move the final number more than the unit does. In Brooklyn the two figures that move most are the pipe run and the access. Older houses here have thick walls, deep roof voids and condenser positions that are not next to the room, and a quote given over the phone rarely accounts for any of that.

Old houses, no provision for aircon. Most of residential Brooklyn predates air conditioning entirely. Retrofitting means core drilling through solid brick, finding a legitimate drain route and often a new circuit, none of which appears on a spec sheet but all of which lands in the price.
Houses working as offices. A large slice of Brooklyn has been converted to consulting rooms, law and accounting practices and small agencies. That changes the job: multiple small zones, occupancy through the working day, and a landlord or body corporate with a say in where the outdoor units go.
Mature trees are a mixed blessing. The oak and jacaranda cover keeps the houses cooler than the newer east, which genuinely reduces the size you need. It also drops leaf litter and jacaranda debris straight into condenser fins every spring, which is the most common reason a Brooklyn unit loses cooling in October.
Student and rental stock near Hatfield. The flats and converted houses towards the university end are rental property, so the decision is usually a landlord’s and the priority is a reliable, cheap-to-run unit rather than the quietest or the best specified.
Response Times and After-Hours
Brooklyn is close to the middle of everything, so response times here are among the better ones in Pretoria: contractors based in the Old East, in Centurion and in the eastern suburbs all cover it comfortably. The constraint is usually parking and access on the narrower streets rather than distance.
If water is running out of an indoor unit, switch it off at the isolator before anything else. In a converted office with a ceiling below it, that is the difference between a repair and a ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am converting a house into offices. How should the aircon be planned?
As one system rather than room by room. Consulting rooms and small offices each want independent control, which usually points at a multi split or a small ducted system with zoning rather than four unrelated wall units and four condensers on a facade you may not be allowed to use. Getting it quoted as a whole also gets you a straight answer on whether the existing board can carry it.
Do the old walls make installation more expensive?
Somewhat. Double-skin brick and plastered solid walls mean core drilling rather than a quick pass, and older Brooklyn houses often have no sensible straight route from the indoor position to where the condenser may go. Expect the pipe run to be longer than you would guess, and ask for it to be measured and priced rather than estimated.
How much does the extra pipe run actually add?
Copper is usually quoted somewhere between R350 and R650 a metre installed, which includes the pipe, the insulation, the trunking and the labour to run it. On a large Brooklyn stand an extra eight or ten metres is common, so it is worth asking for the run to be measured and priced rather than estimated over the phone.
The jacarandas block my outdoor unit every spring. Does it matter?
It matters more than people expect. Leaf litter and flower debris pack into the condenser fins, airflow across the coil drops, head pressure climbs and the unit starts cutting out on exactly the hot days you bought it for. A clear space around the condenser and a wash before summer deals with it; a screen that keeps debris out without choking airflow is better still.
Does Pretoria’s altitude affect what size aircon I need?
Mildly, and it is worth knowing about. At roughly 1,350 m the air is thinner than the sea-level conditions a unit is rated at, so the same machine moves a little less heat for the same airflow. Nobody applies a formula to it on a domestic job, but combined with how hot Pretoria afternoons get it is one of the reasons a borderline room is better served by the next size up than by the smaller unit on the spec sheet.
Does load shedding damage an aircon?
Two things do the damage, and neither is the outage itself. Repeated hard restarts are hard on a compressor that has not had time to equalise, and the surge when supply comes back is a very common cause of control board failure. A time-delay relay and a surge arrester on the circuit deal with both and cost far less than a PCB.
