Yes, growth market. Race Course Road (390015), Alkapuri (390007) and Old Padra Road (390015) office buildings plus petrochemical company townships (Reliance, Gujarat Refinery, IOCL, GSFC) drive commercial VRV/VRF demand.

GST 18% on HVAC labour (SAC 995468). Materials: 28% on split AC, window AC (HSN 8415) as luxury; 18% on commercial VRV/VRF central plant components and chillers. Show HSN codes, GSTIN and CGST/SGST split. B2B clients reclaim input tax credit.
Hourly rates are ₹2,800 to ₹6,200 in the US, £55-130 in the UK, A₹3,800-220 in Australia, R350-950 in South Africa, and C₹2,800-180 in Canada. Metro areas typically command a 20-30% premium and refrigerant-certified technicians charge more than handymen offering aircon services.
A standard wall-split install is 4-6 hours for a 2-person team. A multi-head or ceiling-cassette install can take a full day. Ducted systems for a 3-bed home run 2-3 days including the electrical work.
For installs over ₹69,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare brand, capacity, warranty, refrigerant type, and install detail. The cheapest quote often uses budget-brand units with 3-year warranties vs branded units with 5-7 year warranties for 10-20% more.
Heat-load calculation: roughly 0.15kW per square metre for moderate climates, 0.20kW for hot climates. A 25sqm bedroom needs 4-5kW; a 50sqm open-plan needs 7-9kW. Over-sized units cycle and fail; under-sized never reach setpoint. Insist on a heat-load calc.
Annually for residential use, twice yearly for high-use units or commercial. A ₹8,600 annual service catches refrigerant drift, dirty coils, and electrical issues before they become ₹51,500 repairs. Many manufacturer warranties require annual service to remain valid.
