Who is EisSA Online Store?

EisSA stand for Environmental Installation Services South Africa.

Eissa is a distributor of the top air-conditioning and water heating products and have been in business for over 40 years.

How do I determine the size of aircon required for my application?

Room size is dependent on the square meterage of the space. You can determine the size of your unit by multiplying the length x width of the room, then multiply this figure by roughly 600 Btu’s per m2. Each size unit on the website specifies the square meterage of the space it caters for.

E.g. A room size of 20m2 (5m across by 4 meters wide) will require a 12000btu size aircon. A room size of 40m2 (10m across by 4m wide) will require a 24000btu size aircon and so on.

What is included in the installation fee?

The cost of the back-to-back installation (i.e. indoor unit located on the other side of the wall opposite the outdoor unit) with available plug point for the 9000btu and 12000btu is R2200.00 (incl. VAT). The cost of the installation for the 18000btu and 24000btu is R2350.00 (incl. VAT)

The cost of this installation includes the following:

  • Up to 3metres of refrigerant piping, drain pipe and cable
  • Outdoor mounting bracket (if required)
  • Installation to a maximum height of 3metres above ground level
  • Drilling of one hole for piping
  • Holes will be filled but not painted

The installer will quote for all costs in addition to the 3metre back-to-back installation which will include but are not limited to the following:

  • Any required piping and cabling in addition to the piping and cabling referred to above, or electrical connection to the main switchboard
  • Travelling expenses in the event of the installation being out of a 100km radius from where the unit was bought
  • Any other extras, including but not limited to:
    • external isolators and additional electrical work required
    • any additional refrigerant piping, insulation, drain pipe and cable
    • trunking to cover piping

A qualified electrician must install an isolator at your own cost. He must install the isolator not more than 2metres from the condenser and within view of the condenser. The cost of this is in addition to the installation cost of the unit and must be paid directly to the electrician. Indoor and outdoor units must always be earthed.

What do you mean by air conditioning?

Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C, or air con) is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both domestic and commercial environments.

How much does it cost to replace an air conditioner?

Installing air conditioning costs between R3 000.00 and R20 000.00 with most homeowners reporting spending R7 500.00 on average. This price is typical of installing a new AC unit.

How does air conditioning work?

The air conditioner in a central heating and cooling system provides cool air through ductwork inside your home, by providing a process that draws out the warm air inside, removing its heat. From that point, the condenser or outdoor unit then turns the refrigerant vapor back into a liquid, removing any heat.

Is it cheaper to keep AC on all the time?

In general, it is cheaper to leave the AC on all day during very hot temperatures. … However, turning off the AC during a heat wave can quickly introduce a lot of heat and humidity into your home. After even just a couple of hours, your AC will have to work hard to lower the temperature back to a comfortable level.
