Aircon Installers Centurion arranges free quotes for Alliance air conditioning: supply and installation, repairs, servicing and regas, across mid-wall splits, under-ceiling units, cassettes, ducted systems and heat pumps.
Alliance is the local option in this list, and for a Centurion job that is not a sentimental point. The brand was launched in South Africa in 2006 out of Pretoria, and the distribution, the parts and the technical support all sit in the country rather than at the end of a shipping lane.

The positioning is value rather than premium: competitively priced equipment with a broad range, backed by one of the larger air conditioning distribution networks in the country and an accredited installer base that requires technicians to be qualified refrigeration and air conditioning tradespeople before they are appointed.
The headline commercial term is the warranty. Alliance carries five years on the majority of the range, which is among the longer positions in the South African market and unusual at the price. Retail availability is wide, and the current range with pricing is carried by stockists including Alliance Aircons at Hirsch’s, who have a Centurion branch.
One practical note that Alliance itself publishes and that catches buyers out on every brand: an isolator is a regulatory requirement under SANS 10142-1, it must be within sight of and close to the condenser, it has to be fitted by a qualified electrician, and it is almost never included in an advertised installation price. Budget for it separately.
Where the Alliance Range Fits
- Whole-house installations on a budget, where four or five rooms have to be done and the premium brands would double the project.
- Rental properties and second dwellings, where the sums have to work and a five-year warranty covers the risk.
- Under-ceiling and cassette installations in shops, offices and small business premises.
- Ducted systems at a lower entry point than the premium brands.
- Heat pumps alongside the air conditioning, from the same supply and support network.
The isolator is not in the price. Alliance publish this openly and it applies to every brand on this site: an isolator switch is required by regulation, must be installed by a qualified electrician within sight of the outdoor unit, and is charged separately. Expect it to add roughly R1,000 to R1,500 where there is an existing circuit to work from.

Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Capacity, pipe run, condenser position, drilling, the electrical scope and access move the final number more than the badge does. Two Alliance quotes on the same room can differ by thousands because one includes the circuit and the other assumes you will arrange it.

Five years on the majority of the range is the headline, and it is a strong one at this price point. As with every brand, it is conditional: the unit has to have been installed by a qualified installer and maintained, and the claim is assessed on your paperwork. Confirm the term for the specific model you are buying rather than assuming it applies across the board.
Alliance appoints accredited installers, and appointment requires the technician to hold a refrigeration and air conditioning qualification which is verified before they go on the list. That is a useful filter when you are choosing between quotes, and worth asking about directly.
Because the distributor is local with branches carrying stock and ancillary components, parts turnaround tends to be quick. On a value brand that is the thing that actually determines whether a unit stays in service for ten years or gets scrapped at six.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Alliance a South African brand?
It is a South African brand in the sense that matters: launched here in 2006, developed for this market, and distributed and supported by a local company with branches, warehousing and technical staff in the country. The manufacturing is offshore, as it is for essentially every brand sold here. What is local is the support, and that is the part that affects you.
Is a five-year warranty better than LG’s ten years on the compressor?
They cover different things and are not directly comparable. LG’s ten years applies to the compressor on selected models and is generally parts only. Alliance’s five years covers a broader part of the unit on most of the range. For most failures, which are boards, capacitors and fan motors rather than compressors, the broader cover is more useful.
Is Alliance good enough for a main living area?
Yes, for normal domestic duty. Where the premium brands genuinely pull ahead is very low noise levels, part-load efficiency over long running hours, and commercial plant. For a Centurion lounge that gets used in the evenings, a correctly sized Alliance installed properly will be hard to fault.
Why do I need an isolator and why is it extra?
It is required under SANS 10142-1 so that a technician can positively isolate the outdoor unit before working on it. It has to be within sight of the condenser and within a couple of metres of it, and it is electrical work, so a qualified electrician fits it. It is charged separately because it is a separate trade, not because anyone is padding the bill.
Can I get Alliance parts in Centurion?
Parts are distributed nationally through the brand’s own branch network, and Gauteng is well served. In practice this is one of Alliance’s stronger arguments: a board or a fan motor is usually days rather than weeks, which is not always true of cheaper imported badges.
Does Alliance do commercial work or only domestic?
Both. The range covers under-ceiling, cassette and ducted units alongside the mid-wall splits, which is enough for shops, offices and small business premises. For large multi-tenant buildings running VRF plant, the specialist commercial brands are the more usual choice.
