Air Conditioning — Frequently Asked Questions
A split unit (wall-mounted) AC installation typically costs $400-$1,200 including the unit, depending on the brand and BTU capacity. Cassette (ceiling) units for offices range from $800-$2,500. Tenda connects you with multiple technicians so you can compare quotes for supply and installation.
As a rough guide, you need about 6,000-8,000 BTU for a small bedroom, 12,000 BTU for a standard living room, and 18,000-24,000 BTU for large open-plan spaces. Your AC technician will assess the room size, insulation, and sun exposure to recommend the right capacity. Getting the correct size ensures efficient cooling without wasting electricity.
AC units should be serviced at least once a year, ideally before the hot season starts around September. Regular servicing includes cleaning filters, checking gas levels, and inspecting electrical connections. Proper maintenance extends the life of your unit and keeps it running efficiently, which saves on electricity costs.
Samsung, LG, Hisense, and Midea are widely available and well-supported in Zimbabwe with readily available spare parts. Your technician can advise on the best brand for your budget and requirements. Tenda-listed technicians work with all major brands and can source units at competitive prices.
