Air Conditioner Installation & Repair in Chakvi
About 20 km from Batumi
Yes — Chakvi is about 20 km north of Batumi, roughly a 25-minute drive, and Imia covers it along with Green Cape (Mtsvane Kontskhi) and Tsikhisdziri on the same run. Installation starts from 140 GEL, on-site diagnostics from 60 GEL, deep cleaning 130–150 GEL, and every installation carries a 12-month workmanship warranty.
Two different markets in one town
Chakvi has a hotel and resort strip along the shore and, behind it, the private housing of the old tea-growing hills — historically the centre of Georgian tea production. These are two genuinely different kinds of work. The hotels need commercial equipment and commercial scheduling: cassette and ducted units in lobbies, restaurants and conference rooms, VRF where a whole floor is served from one outdoor unit, cleaning phased around occupancy, and a fault fixed before guests notice it. Commercial installation runs from 350 GEL for split systems to 650 GEL for VRF, and commercial deep cleaning starts from 250 GEL.
The houses in the hills behind are the opposite: single wall units, longer pipe runs, outdoor units at ground level, and heating mattering as much as cooling because the hills sit cooler and damper than the shoreline. Damp is the recurring theme up there — houses that are closed for part of the year come back to mould, and an air conditioner run in dry mode is one of the more effective ways to get a room back under control.
Green Cape and Tsikhisdziri, covered from here
Green Cape (Mtsvane Kontskhi), just south of Chakvi below the Botanical Garden, and Tsikhisdziri with its Petra fortress headland just north, are both covered on the same run. Neither is big enough to warrant its own page, but both are firmly inside the service area at Batumi prices — no travel surcharge for either.
Both share Chakvi’s two defining conditions: properties close to open sea, and a lot of buildings that stand empty for months. Practically that means the same two recommendations. Buy a corrosion-protected outdoor coil, because the coil is what the salt destroys first. And have the unit cleaned and checked when you reopen the property rather than when you first need it, because a system that sat damp and unused for six months is exactly the one that smells, drips or fails in the first hot week.
Prices and scheduling a Chakvi visit
Domestic prices are the Batumi prices: installation 140–250 GEL by capacity, unit replacement 80 or 100 GEL, deep clean 130 or 150 GEL, diagnostics from 60 GEL, water-leak check from 50 GEL, refrigerant 15 GEL per 100 g, pipe and drainage preparation from 80 GEL. Commercial: split from 350 GEL, cassette, ducted, column and ceiling-floor from 450 GEL, VRF/VRV from 650 GEL, commercial cleaning from 250 GEL.
For hotels the practical advice is to book the pre-season service in April or May and to bundle every unit into one scheduled visit. That gets you a written verdict on the whole estate before the season instead of a sequence of emergencies during it — and multiple units quoted together always works out better per unit than individual call-outs.

Questions about Chakvi
Do you cover Green Cape and Tsikhisdziri too?
Yes — both are covered on the same run as Chakvi, at Batumi prices with no travel surcharge. Green Cape (Mtsvane Kontskhi) sits just south below the Botanical Garden, Tsikhisdziri just north. Installation from 140 GEL, diagnostics from 60 GEL, deep cleaning 130–150 GEL.
What should a hotel in Chakvi have serviced before the season?
Every indoor unit cleaned — drum, coil and drain pan, not just filters — every drain line flushed and every drain pump tested, refrigerant pressures checked on each system, and the outdoor coils washed to clear salt. Commercial cleaning starts from 250 GEL per unit, and booking the whole estate as one visit is cheaper per unit than separate call-outs.
