Indicative ranges, not a quotation. On the commercial side here the design and the access set the price far more than the equipment does. Two quotes for the same office floor can differ enormously depending on whether the work is done in hours or out of them, and on whether the plant goes up by stair or by crane.

Office park plant, not domestic splits. A large share of the building stock in Highveld Techno Park runs cassettes, concealed ducted heads or VRF under some form of maintenance regime. That is a different trade from wall splits, with different contractors and different response terms, and matching the enquiry to the right one matters more here than anywhere else in Centurion.
Server and comms rooms are a separate specification. A room with racks in it needs cooling designed around a constant sensible heat load, running twenty-four hours, with some thought given to what happens when it fails. A domestic wall split put into that role will run continuously and then die early, usually in the middle of summer.
The lease decides who may do what. In let space the landlord commonly owns the plant and controls alterations, while the tenant carries the comfort problem. Before anything is installed or changed, establish who consents, who maintains it afterwards and what has to be made good at the end of the lease.
Occupied floors are worked on out of hours. Installation and major service on a floor that is in use happens in the evening or over a weekend, with access booked, a lift held and security cleared. That is both a surcharge and a scheduling constraint, and it is usually the reason a commercial quote looks high next to a domestic one.
Backed-up buildings need plant specified for the changeover. Where a building runs a generator or a UPS, cooling that has to keep going through a transfer must be specified for it. Equipment that trips and stays off after every changeover turns into a standing call-out rather than a fault anyone ever fixes.
Response Times and Maintenance Cover
For commercial sites the useful question is not how quickly someone can come out, but what response time is contractually defined. A maintenance agreement with a stated breakdown window is worth more on a July morning than a slightly cheaper quarterly rate, and it is the clause most worth reading before signing.
For a server room or any continuous-duty application, ask what happens when the unit fails rather than when it is serviced. Redundancy, an alarm that reaches somebody, and a defined attendance time are the three things that determine whether a failure is an inconvenience or an outage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a normal split unit cool a server room?
For a small comms cupboard with a couple of switches, often yes. For anything with real rack load it is the wrong tool: domestic splits are built for intermittent comfort cooling, not continuous duty against a constant sensible load, and many will not even run in cooling mode when the outside temperature drops in winter. Specify the unit against the kW of IT load, and decide up front whether you need a second unit for redundancy.
Who is responsible for the aircon in a leased office, landlord or tenant?
It depends on the lease and it is worth reading rather than assuming. Commonly the landlord owns and maintains base-building plant while the tenant carries anything they installed and any after-hours running. The grey area is usually a system the landlord installed but the tenant has overloaded by adding people or equipment.
Why is a commercial quote so much higher than a domestic one?
Rarely the equipment. It is after-hours labour, lift and crane bookings, security clearance for the crew, working over an occupied floor and making good afterwards. On a multi-storey building the access line alone can be larger than the plant.
What should a maintenance contract on an office system include?
At minimum: a stated visit frequency, a defined scope per visit, recorded readings that are trended rather than just ticked, a named response window for breakdowns, and a clear statement of what is excluded. Parts and consumables are usually excluded, which is reasonable, but it should be written down rather than discovered.
Can VRF plant be serviced by the same people who do wall splits?
Not reliably, and you want to know which you are getting. VRF needs the manufacturer's controller access and diagnostic tools, and reading fault codes off it is a specific skill. When you request quotes, name the system type so the request reaches contractors who actually work on it.
Does hail damage rooftop plant?
It does, and Highveld hail is the reason it comes up here and not in most of the country. Hail flattens the aluminium fins on a condenser, which chokes airflow across the coil and pushes head pressure up until the unit starts cutting out on hot days. Guards on exposed rooftop plant cost very little against a coil replacement.
