Air Conditioning
Hi Guys
I am considering installing air conditioning. My place is near Albufeira.
On one of the earlier threads there was a link to a reasonably priced unit at Aki.
I would like to purchase the unit and get it installed separately.
Please PM me with any recommendations.
TIA

Re: Air Conditioning
First thing to check is your property pre fitted for aircon.
Does it have the external power outlets and trunking, external and internal.
Any price for fitting is dependant on this.

Re: Air Conditioning
Here's my advice, fit Daikin! Don't go for the cheap as you will regret it, spend that bit extra! Get the installer to supply it otherwise there will always be problems to blame on the material which might have been the installer, don't buy separate! Mark my advice...

Re: Air Conditioning
Many thanks for your responses and I will look out for Daikin supplied and fitted. Out of interest I had a quote of Euro 879 for Sharp fitted. Whilst I don't know how much a Daikin will cost (9K BTU presumably) plus there are no existing external power outlets but am willing to live with trunking is this roughly what to expect?

Re: Air Conditioning
Apologies for jumping on the back of this thread.
Please can anybody recommend anywhere in the Portimao area where I could get a reasonable quote to supply and fit a Daikin air conditioning unit unto a 2 bed apartment?
many thanks in advance,
😊

Re: Air Conditioning
I had SACL install mine, Daikin 11 indoor units, 3 outdoor, with control via an app on my phone. Excellent for both heating and cooling, and they made a good job of it, even tidied up after themselves.
Cheers,
Scott

Re: Air Conditioning
Would be very helpful if you could inform us here on the price you paid.
Sacl is in Portimao?

Re: Air Conditioning
I'll tag on to this too - we will need about 6 indoor units and maybe 2-3 outdoor to minimise piping, so I'd be very interested to find out what the going rate is!

Re: Air Conditioning
The units were all Daikin Premium so as has been stated above Daikin aren't the cheapest but are definitely worth it in terms of efficiency and reliability. I paid 13,000 for everything mentioned above.
The app isn't the best in world but is worth the extra expense of WiFi modules in the indoor units, you don't need to do them all either. It's nice to be out and about and be able to get the place cool for when we get in, or in winter turn the heating on when we're flying back from the UK.
I can PM the owners phone number if you want.

Re: Air Conditioning
Nearly forgot, SACL is on the N125 between Porches and Aqualand. They'd come out to Portimao I'd assume no problem.
