Costs & quotes

How much does AC installation or repair cost?

It depends on the model, installation position, pipe length and site, so we don't give prices on the website. Please call 0953 144 721 and we'll explain for your situation.

Why aren't prices shown on the website?

Every job has a different model, installation position and site conditions. To give you accurate information, please call us for prices.

AC installation

Can I choose the AC brand?

Yes. We install whichever brand you prefer, and you're welcome to call and talk it over before buying.

Is it safe to mount the outdoor unit on an outside wall?

We always take safety measures when mounting outdoor units on outside walls and fix them securely. For the key safety points, see Is a wall-mounted outdoor unit safe?中文

What information do you need before installation?

Tell us the room, where the indoor and outdoor units should go, the floor and the site conditions, so we can plan the work. For a full checklist, see What to check before installing a split AC中文.

I live in an apartment building — what should I watch out for?

Some buildings have rules on work hours, lift use or outdoor unit positions. Check with the management committee first and let us know when you contact us.

Do you relocate ACs?

Yes. Willson offers AC relocation: we remove the unit, move it and reinstall it in the new place. Call 0953 144 721 with the old and new addresses and the AC's condition. For the usual steps, see Moving house: AC relocation steps and tips中文.

AC repair

How do I book an AC repair?

Call 0953 144 721 or message us on Facebook with a short description of the problem and your address, and we'll arrange a time.

What information should I have ready?

If you can, tell us the brand, how old it is, what's happening (e.g. not cooling, dripping, noise) and your address.

My AC isn't cooling — what can I check myself?

Check the mode and temperature setting, clean the filter and make sure the outdoor unit has airflow. If it still isn't cooling, call to book a check. More in AC not cooling?中文

What if my indoor unit is dripping?

Turn it off, clean the filter and check whether the drain pipe outlet outside is blocked. If it keeps dripping, call to book a check. See AC dripping?中文

How much does a repair cost?

Repair costs depend on what we find, so we don't publish prices online — please call us.

AC cleaning & maintenance

How often should an AC be cleaned?

There's no fixed answer — it depends on how much you use it, how dusty the room is and whether you have pets. You can clean the filter yourself regularly; if it still smells musty or the airflow is weak after that, or the indoor unit hasn't been cleaned in a long time, it's time to book a clean. For everyday care, see AC maintenance tips中文.

What's the difference between cleaning the filter myself and a professional clean?

Filter cleaning is routine care you can do yourself. Dirt deep in the heat exchanger, fan and drain pan needs tools and experience — and water must be kept out of the electrical parts — so we recommend leaving that to a professional.

What should I tell you when booking a clean?

Tell us the brand, number of units, where they're installed (which room the indoor unit is in, where the outdoor unit is) and the current condition — for example a musty smell, weak airflow or dripping.

What if you find another problem while cleaning?

If we find something that needs repair, we explain it to you first and only fix it once you agree. For AC faults, see AC repair.

AC relocation

Does the refrigerant have to be recovered before moving an AC?

Yes. Pumping the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit before removal prevents leaks, so the AC works properly once reinstalled.

Is my old AC worth moving, or should I buy new?

Consider the AC's age and condition, and whether its capacity suits the new room. If you're not sure, call 0953 144 721 to talk it over. If you decide on a new one, we also offer AC & heat-pump sales and installation.

Can the existing pipes be reused?

It's decided on site based on the distance at the new place and the pipes' condition. If the pipe length differs or the old pipes are in poor shape, they may need replacing.

Can you move an AC to another room in the same home?

Yes. Moving to another room or changing the outdoor unit position still means removing, re-piping and reinstalling. Call and tell us the current and planned positions.

AC & heat-pump sales

Which brands do you sell?

We mainly sell Hitachi中文, HERAN中文, Daikin中文 and TECO中文, plus other brands中文. Choose whichever you like — call and tell us the brand or model you're considering.

Can you install the AC I buy from you?

Yes — we sell and install, so buying and installation are handled in one go.

Inverter or fixed-speed — how do I choose?

In rooms used for long hours, an inverter AC keeps the temperature steadier and its efficiency pays off more; budget and habits matter too. See Inverter vs fixed-speed AC中文, or call us to discuss.

What capacity should I buy?

It depends on room size, floor, afternoon sun and number of people. See Choosing AC size中文, or call and tell us about the room.

Washing machine cleaning

Do you clean washing machines? Do you take them apart?

Yes. We take out the drum and parts, clean them and reassemble the machine.

Which washing machines can you clean?

Call us with the brand and model and we'll confirm.

How often should a washing machine be cleaned?

It depends on how often you use it and how many people live with you. Smelly clothes or black flecks mean it's time. See How often to clean a washing machine中文.

What should I prepare?

Tell us the brand and model first. On the day, take any clothes out and clear space around the machine.
