Air conditioning and heat pumps

Air conditioning and heat pumps

Thermal comfort starts with a sound electrical installation. CHN.ELEC supports you in Allinges, Thonon-les-Bains and throughout the Chablais region.

Thermal comfort starts at the consumer unit

A reversible air conditioner or a heat pump is, above all, a heavy electrical consumer. It requires a dedicated circuit, properly sized and protected: this is what determines the safety of the installation, its lifespan and the performance promised by the manufacturer. An undersized supply means repeated tripping, a struggling compressor and a rising energy bill.

That is exactly our trade. An electrician in Allinges for over ten years, CHN.ELEC handles the electrical side of your air conditioning and heat pump projects: assessment of available power, creation of the dedicated circuit, suitable protection devices, connection and commissioning.

Thermal comfort starts at the consumer unit

What we take care of

From assessing your existing consumer unit through to commissioning your equipment.

Assessment of your consumer unit

We check the available power, the condition of the unit and whether your supply contract can support the new equipment.

Dedicated circuit and protection

Creation of a correctly rated dedicated circuit, with suitable breakers and residual current devices, in line with the NF C 15-100 standard.

Connection and cabling

Cable routing, connection of indoor and outdoor units, control wiring and electrical commissioning.

Advice and sizing

Choice of location, technical constraints, and consistency with your existing installation and future plans.

Category 1 aptitude certificate

Category 1 aptitude certificate

Christopher Heirman holds the category 1 aptitude certificate for handling fluorinated refrigerants. It is the most comprehensive of the five existing categories: it covers every operation, on every type of equipment, with no limit on refrigerant charge.

In practice, this means your contact understands the equipment as a whole, not just the cable feeding it. Conversations with the other trades are simpler, sizing errors are avoided, and technical constraints are anticipated at the quotation stage rather than discovered mid-project.

Air conditioning or heat pump?

Both rely on the same technology. It is the intended use that sets them apart.

Reversible air conditioning

It cools in summer and heats in the shoulder seasons, room by room. A light installation, ideal alongside existing heating or for one or two priority rooms.

Air-to-water heat pump

It feeds your radiators or underfloor heating and can produce domestic hot water. A full central heating system, sized for the whole home.

What decides it

Your insulation, your current heating, the floor area to be covered and your budget. We review it all with you on site, with no obligation, before any decision.

What our clients ask us

Does the consumer unit need replacing to install air conditioning?

Not always. It depends on the space available in the unit, its condition and the power of your supply contract. We always start with an assessment: in many cases, adding a dedicated circuit is enough. If the unit is outdated, we tell you plainly and price both options separately.

What exactly does your work cover?

The complete electrical side: power assessment, creation of the dedicated circuit, protection devices, cable routing, connection of the units and electrical commissioning. We also advise you on choosing and sizing the equipment. Get in touch and we will define the exact scope of your project together.

What difference does the category 1 certificate make for me?

It certifies recognised competence in handling fluorinated refrigerants, with no restriction on charge or equipment type. For you, it means a contact who understands the equipment as a whole and anticipates technical constraints from the study stage, rather than a purely electrical connection carried out blind.

Do you work outside Allinges?

Yes. We cover the whole Chablais region and Haute-Savoie: Thonon-les-Bains, Douvaine, Sciez, Evian-les-Bains, Bons-en-Chablais, Publier, Margencel, Annemasse and the surrounding areas.
