Colombo has the highest concentration of air conditioning on the island, and technicians here handle everything from single split units in apartments to multi-unit installations in townhouses. An inspection for one or two units runs Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,500.

What to expect

  • Professionals who know the Colombo 1 to 15 zones and can work around apartment building access rules
  • The fault diagnosed and explained before any gas is charged
  • A written quote separating labour, parts and refrigerant
  • Cooling performance checked and drainage confirmed clear before leaving

Helpful tips

In an apartment, check where the outdoor unit is allowed to go before buying anything. Many Colombo buildings specify approved positions, restrict drilling through facades and require the management's consent, and finding out after delivery is expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring in Colombo

Questions about finding a tradesperson in Colombo? Here are the answers homeowners ask most.

Usually, but the outdoor unit position, the drilling and the condensate drainage normally need building management approval. Confirm before purchase, because an approved position may need a longer copper run and change the installation price.

Every six months in most of the city, and every four to six months in Colombo 3, 4 and 6 where the unit is exposed to sea air. City dust and construction nearby are further reasons to shorten the interval.
