Cooling System and Air Conditioner Installation, Maintenance and Repair
Latvian summers are becoming increasingly hotter, and a quality cooling system is no longer a luxury – it is a necessity for residential spaces, offices and commercial properties alike. An improperly installed or unmaintained air conditioner consumes disproportionate energy, cools inefficiently and can become a source of bacteria and mould. SIA Alpex provides professional air conditioner and cooling system installation, regular maintenance and repair in Riga, Jurmala and the Riga District – with a certified specialist guarantee.

FAQ
How much does air conditioner installation cost?
The price depends on the equipment type, capacity and installation complexity. Residential split system installation typically includes indoor and outdoor unit fitting, pipe installation, evacuation and commissioning. We provide a precise price after an on-site inspection and equipment selection.
Can an air conditioner also be used for heating?
Yes, most modern split systems also operate in heating mode. This is an energy-efficient supplementary heat source, especially during the transitional season. However, please note that the air conditioner’s heating efficiency decreases when the outdoor temperature drops below -10…-15 degrees C.
How often should air conditioner filters be changed?
Standard dust filters should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks during active use. Carbon and HEPA filters typically need to be replaced every 6-12 months. Precise intervals are determined by the manufacturer’s recommendations and usage intensity.
Does Alpex install air conditioners in apartment buildings?
Yes, we install air conditioners in both apartments and private houses. In apartment buildings, outdoor unit installation may require the consent of the property manager or apartment owners’ association. We help with resolving this matter.
