Frequently asked questions
General
We don’t have inhouse payment facilities at our warehouses and we do not do face to face orders. You can only order/purchase online, but you are more than welcome to call our Client Concierge team to assist with any queries or questions regarding any of our products or services. You are also most welcome to visit our distribution centres by appointment to see the products and to verify that the products that you are ordering exist. All our products are sealed by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and we do not open the original packaging unless your order is paid for as opened items are deemed as second hand and customers don’t like to received opened products because they appear to be tampered with or used.
• Log your exchange/refund request on the website or via email
• Prepare the return parcel and pack the product in its original packaging
• Collection will be arranged through our courier partner at a time suitable to you
• In the case of aircons or heat pumps, collection will be through the dealer/installation company authorised by Fourways Online that delivered the unit to you and he/she will arrange to collect the unit back from you.
Room size is dependent on the square meterage of the space. You can determine the size of your unit by multiplying the length x width of the room, then multiply this figure by roughly 600 Btu's per m2. Each size unit on the website specifies the square meterage of the space it caters for.
E.g. A room size of 20m2 (5m across by 4 meters wide) will require a 12000btu size aircon. A room size of 40m2 (10m across by 4m wide) will require a 24000btu size aircon and so on.
The cost of the back-to-back aircon installation (i.e. indoor unit located on the other side of the wall opposite the outdoor unit) with available plug point for the 9000btu and 12000btu is R2900.00 (incl. VAT). The cost of the installation for the 18000btu and 24000btu is R3500.00 (incl. VAT)
The cost of this installation includes the following:
• Up to 3metres of refrigerant piping, drain pipe and cable
• Outdoor mounting bracket (if required)
• Installation to a maximum height of 3metres above ground level
• Drilling of one hole for piping
• Holes will be filled but not painted
The installer will quote for all costs in addition to the 3metre back-to-back installation which will include but are not limited to the following:
• Any required piping and cabling in addition to the piping and cabling referred to above, or electrical connection to the main switchboard
• Travelling expenses in the event of the installation being out of a 30km radius from where the unit was bought
• Any other extras, including but not limited to:
• external isolators and additional electrical work required
• any additional refrigerant piping, insulation, drain pipe and cable
• trunking to cover piping
Please note costs of isolators are not included in the installation fee. Isolator switches are a regulation requirement and are not included in the cost of the installation. A qualified electrician must install an isolator at your own cost. He must install the isolator not more than 2metres from the condenser and within view of the condenser. The cost of this is in addition to the installation cost of the unit and must be paid directly to the electrician. Indoor and outdoor units must always be earthed.
All our products are backed by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Warranty and range from 12 months to 10 years. Samsung and Alliance midwall split aircon products specifically are cover a 5 year warranty provided that the unit is installed by an installation company authorised by HVAC Direct, the unit is serviced as per the warranty card guidelines; and the customer registers their product
