How does an air conditioner work?

An air conditioner extracts heat from the indoor air and transfers it outside. Modern split-type air conditioners can often also provide heating.

What is a single split air conditioner?

A split air conditioner consists of two units:

  • An indoor unit
  • An outdoor unit

These systems are quiet, energy-efficient, and suitable for homes, offices, and bedrooms.

Can an air conditioner also heat a room?

Yes. Most modern inverter air conditioners include a heat pump function, which allows for efficient heating.

How much electricity does an air conditioner use?

This depends on:

  • The unit's power capacity
  • Room size
  • Insulation quality
  • Duration of use

A modern inverter air conditioner uses significantly less energy than older models.

Which air conditioner do I need?

This depends on:

  • Floor area (m²)
  • Ceiling height
  • Insulation quality
  • Sun exposure
  • Desired features

For an accurate calculation, we recommend seeking personal advice.

Is an air conditioner energy-efficient?

Yes, especially models with inverter technology and an energy label of A++ or A+++ are highly energy-efficient.

How often does an air conditioner need maintenance?

We recommend at minimum:

  • 2 times per year for residential use
  • 4 times per year for commercial use

Regular maintenance extends the lifespan and keeps the system running efficiently.

Does an air conditioner make a lot of noise?

No. Modern split air conditioners are very quiet. Many indoor units produce less than 20 dB in silent mode.

How long does an air conditioner last?

On average, a quality air conditioner lasts:

  • 12 to 15 years
  • Often longer with proper maintenance

How long does installation take?

A standard installation usually takes between 4 and 8 hours, depending on:

  • Pipe/cable length
  • Accessibility
  • Type of building

Do I need a permit?

In most cases, no. Exceptions may apply for apartments or listed/protected buildings.

What does an air conditioner cost, including installation?

The price depends on:

  • Brand
  • Power capacity
  • Installation complexity
  • Number of units

Which brands do we supply?

We supply, among others:

  • LG
  • Panasonic

Can I get a subsidy for an air conditioner?

For air conditioners with a heat pump function, subsidies are sometimes available. This depends on the type of system and current regulations.
