We just had a 15,000 BTU AC split unit installed in the downstairs part of our office.
I had a few different companies quote and come and look at what was need etc. We received some interesting quotes, most oversized, some by as much as 2.5x. Bottom line, I wasn't comfortable with anyone.
I was looking for a good quality unit, that is well supported and gets good reviews. I'm sure you can by an 15k BTU unit cheaper at Plaza Lama, but the level of quality and service is often bad. As many of us know, it's worth paying a little extra here for service and knowing you can speak to someone that will actually help you.
Eventually we went with recommendation of a friend who's brother has an AC company. They do lots of high-end homes, offices and developments and have a long history here. It was a smart move
They installed the unit on the day they said they would and did a very professional installation. Right tools, clean and tidy, right frame, pipe lagging etc etc. Even did all the electrical cable work for the 220V hook up.
Problem... Yes, it's never 100%.
I wanted the outside electrical connection to be in a weather proof steel box.
They either forgot the box and didn't quite get what I wanted.
No problem. I sent an email to Migual the owner and the guys turned up the next day with a weather proof box and re-did the cabling.
Bottom line...
I would 100% recommend MPG & Asociados and know if I have any problems in the future they will look after me. Which is more than can be said for many AC companies or department stores that sell AC units here.
