Pre-Installation Assessment
Initial Consultation
The first step in installing your new split system air conditioner with Limelight Electrix is the initial consultation. We believe in personalised solutions, so we take the time to understand your specific needs and preferences.
- Discussing Your Needs: We’ll have a detailed conversation about your cooling and heating requirements. Whether you’re looking to regulate the temperature in a single room or throughout your entire home, we’ll tailor our approach accordingly.
- Budget and Preferences: Understanding your budget is crucial. We’ll present options that offer the best value without compromising on quality. We’ll also consider any brand preferences or specific features you’re interested in, such as smart controls or energy-saving modes.
Site Inspection
After our initial chat, we’ll schedule a site inspection to assess the specifics of your property.
- Evaluating Locations: Our experienced technicians will visit your home to identify the optimal locations for both the indoor and outdoor units. We’ll consider factors like room size, airflow patterns, and aesthetic preferences to ensure the units blend seamlessly with your space.
- Electrical and Structural Check: We’ll examine your existing electrical system to ensure it can support the new installation. If any upgrades are necessary, we’ll advise you accordingly. We’ll also assess the structural aspects of your home to determine the best mounting solutions.
Selecting the Right Unit
With all the necessary information in hand, we’ll help you choose the ideal air conditioning unit.
- Model Recommendations: Based on the size of your rooms and your specific needs, we’ll recommend models that provide efficient cooling and heating. We’ll explain the benefits of each option, including energy ratings and special features.
- Detailed Quotation: Transparency is key to our service. We’ll provide a comprehensive quotation that outlines all costs involved, from the unit itself to installation fees. We’ll walk you through the quote to ensure you understand every aspect, and we’re happy to answer any questions you might have.
Preparing for Installation
Scheduling the Installation
Once you’ve approved the quotation and selected your preferred unit, we’ll move on to scheduling the installation.
- Convenient Timing: We respect your time and strive to schedule the installation at a time that suits you best. From Monday to Friday, we’ll find a slot that causes minimal disruption to your routine.
- Confirmation: Before the installation day, we’ll confirm all the details with you. This includes the date and time, the technicians who will be visiting, and a recap of the work to be done.
Preparing Your Space
To ensure a smooth installation process, a bit of preparation on your part can make a significant difference.
- Clear the Area: We’ll guide you on which areas need to be accessible. This typically involves moving furniture or ornaments away from the walls where the indoor unit will be mounted and ensuring a clear path to these areas.
- Accessibility: For the outdoor unit, we’ll need access to the exterior parts of your home, such as the side passage or backyard. Please ensure gates are unlocked and pets are secured for their safety and ours.
- Parking Arrangements: If parking near your property is limited, letting us know in advance allows us to make necessary arrangements to avoid delays.
By thoroughly assessing your needs and preparing both your home and our team, we set the stage for a hassle-free installation. At Limelight Electrix, we believe that meticulous planning is the foundation of excellent service, ensuring that your new split system air conditioner is installed efficiently and to the highest standards.

Aftercare and Maintenance
Maintenance Tips
At Limelight Electrix, we understand that regular maintenance is essential to keep your split system air conditioner running efficiently and prolong its lifespan. Here are some practical tips to help you maintain your system:
- Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate on your air conditioner’s filters and coils, reducing efficiency. We recommend cleaning or replacing the filters every two to three months, especially during peak usage periods. This not only improves air quality but also ensures optimal performance.
- Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear: Ensure the area around the outdoor unit is free from obstructions like leaves, dirt, and overgrown plants. Adequate airflow around the unit prevents it from overworking and helps maintain energy efficiency.
- Monitor System Performance: Pay attention to any unusual noises, odours, or a decrease in cooling/heating effectiveness. Early detection of potential issues can prevent costly repairs down the line.
- Use the System Wisely: Utilise programmable settings and timers to run your air conditioner only when needed. This reduces wear and tear on the system and can lower your energy bills.
- Professional Inspections: Even with regular at-home maintenance, it’s important to have your system inspected by professionals annually. This ensures all components are functioning correctly and safely.
Service Plans
To make maintenance hassle-free, Limelight Electrix offers comprehensive service plans tailored to your needs:
- Scheduled Maintenance Visits: We’ll set up regular appointments to service your system, including thorough cleaning, inspection, and tuning of all components. This proactive approach helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
