FAQ

All our categories are carefully picked by our engineering team.

What's the difference between monosplit and multisplit?+

A monosplit has one indoor and one outdoor unit for cooling a single room. A multisplit has one outdoor unit connected to 2, 3 or 4 indoor units (ideal for the whole home).

What is Inverter technology?+

Inverter continuously adjusts compressor output, avoiding abrupt starts and stops. It cuts energy consumption by 30% and improves acoustic comfort.

What BTU rating should I pick for my room?+

Roughly 100 W per m² (e.g. 25 m² ≈ 2,500 W ≈ 9,000 BTU). Add 15% if the room faces south or has large windows.

Do I need a certified installer?+

Yes, for split units using R32 refrigerant: installation requires a certified F-gas engineer.

How much does an air conditioner consume?+

A modern A++ monosplit uses roughly 0.5 to 1.2 kWh per running hour. Expect €50 to €150 per summer season.

Is R32 dangerous?+

No. R32 is a refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (675), 3× lower than the old R410A. It is neither toxic nor flammable under normal use.

Can I install AC in a shared building?+

Yes, but installing an outdoor unit alters the façade — you'll usually need approval from the management company or landlord.

Difference between AC and an air-to-air heat pump?+

None technically: an air-to-air heat pump is simply a reversible AC used to heat in winter.

Does a portable AC replace a split?+

No. Portables are 20-30% less efficient due to the exhaust hose and are limited to rooms up to about 30 m².

What's the yearly maintenance?+

Clean filters every 2 weeks in season, check condensate drainage, and have a yearly professional inspection.

Are there financial incentives?+

SEAI grants can support heat pump installations under specific conditions in Ireland.

How long does delivery take?+

Ships within 24 h. Home delivery in 24-48 h (€4.99, free over €199). 5-7 days for bulky split units via dedicated carrier.
