This season it is quite possible to find an inverter split-system for reasonable money: many manufacturers present their models at the price of 20-35 000 Dollars.
Conditioners of this price group also work for cooling and heating remember last autumn, before the heating season many lucky men just warmed up their apartments with the help of split-systems . Also very economical: no model offers class B energy efficiency, all at least class A. Remote control, Wi-Fi modules, “translucent” displays on the front of the internal blocks – all this can be seen in the most inexpensive split-systems.
Here the noise level is a little bit higher, but even here you can find conditioners which will not disturb you in “night” mode.
In the review there is also one non-inverter model, which striking design combined with good functionality deserves the attention of consumers.
There are a few new products in this group and they are just appearing on the market.
Choose a unit that cools in summer and warms in fall. Now both installers are more available and installation is cheaper than during the hot summer days that will soon come to our cities.
