- Glass, and a lot of it. The sea-facing glazing that makes these houses is also the dominant cooling load. Sizing off floor area alone undershoots badly, and afternoon sun on unshaded west-facing glass is the peak the unit actually has to meet.
- Severe salt exposure. Directly on the Atlantic and exposed to the south-easter, condensers here corrode faster than almost anywhere else in the metro. Corrosion-protected coils are worth specifying, not an upsell.
- Steep and awkward access. Properties stacked up the slope mean long pipe runs, condensers on levels below or above the room they serve, and access equipment on a lot of jobs.
- Whole-house systems. Multi split and ducted come up far more often here than single splits, which puts the work into the design rather than the installation.
- Holiday letting. A failure in peak season costs directly, so maintenance contracts and pre-season servicing are worth more here than the price difference.
Response Times and After-Hours
Covered by Atlantic Seaboard contractors and metro specialists for ducted and multi split design. On larger properties, expect a site visit before a meaningful number.
If water is running out of an indoor unit, switch it off at the isolator before anything else. The water damage almost always costs more than the repair does.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I size an aircon for a house with a lot of glass?
It has to be calculated rather than estimated. Glazed area, orientation and shading frequently outweigh floor area in these houses, and west-facing glass is the peak the system has to meet.
Do condensers corrode faster in Camps Bay?
Yes, and noticeably. Direct Atlantic exposure combined with wind means salt on the coil almost continuously. Corrosion-protected coils and more frequent condenser cleaning are both worth the money here.
Should I look at ducted rather than splits?
On a larger Camps Bay house, frequently. Ducted hides the equipment and distributes better across open-plan living areas, at a considerably higher cost. It is worth having both quoted before deciding.
Does an aircon need regassing every year?
No. A sealed system does not consume refrigerant. If it needs gas every season it has a leak, and adding more without finding it means paying for the same gas twice.
How much does aircon installation cost in Camps Bay?
A 12000 BTU inverter split supplied and installed back-to-back commonly runs R11,000 to R17,500. Coastal properties sometimes carry a little more for corrosion-protected coils and heavier mounting.
