Hundreds of air conditioners meet us in stores. Consultants are in a hurry to “offer” models more expensive and abruptly. But the high price is not always justified. Read more about how to choose split system air conditioners.
Selection criteria for split air conditioner
To competently approach the choice of a household air conditioner split, you need to know quite a bit. And if you preliminarily go through the forums about split system air conditioners, then it will be almost impossible to make a mistake:
- Buy air conditioning before finishing the room. So you can save a significant amount on the installation;
- Consider the area of the room and cooling power, as well as the influx of heat from appliances, windows. So, 1 square meter of windows or display cases emits about 450 watts of heat, and a person on average 140 watts. After calculating the heat influx, we add them to the design power equal to 1 kilowatt of cooling power per 10 meters of square floor space;
- To the cost of the air conditioner itself, we add another 12 - 15% for consumables (copper pipe, insulation, fasteners, drain pipe, power cord), as well as at least 20% for the installation;
- Choose a household split air conditioner from a well-known manufacturer. By paying 25-30% more, you will receive an additional 5-10 years of equipment operation.

How to choose an air conditioner split system, not taking into account reviews of other customers?
Reviews of split air conditioners posted on store sites should be skeptical.
Many of them are a seller’s promotion. At specialized forums about air conditioners, split systems of reviews are plentiful. They inspire greater confidence, replete with details and amateur photos.
For example, very good reviews about split air conditioners of the GREE brand, as well as subsidiary models Tosotrunning on compressors from GREE.
The T09H model works quietly, made of quality materials. The disadvantage is the lack of fasteners for the blocks.
Reviews about air conditioning split systems manufactured by Rolsen are quite skeptical.
Pros: quiet operation, decent appearance, low electricity consumption, turning off the display backlight.
Of the minuses: an uncomfortable and too simple remote control, there are doubts about the effective air ionizer, the “SLEEP” mode is not quite correctly debugged, it buzzes in standby mode so that it interferes with sleep.
Contradictory reviews about split system air conditioners Midea. Some owners are unhappy with the equipment, mentioning cheap materials of the case and mounts, noisy work and an unpleasant chemical smell from the inner case.
Their opponents, agreeing with the above disadvantages, believe that there are still more advantages: low price, quiet operation in the "sleep" mode, effective cooling.
