How to choose a decent version of technology?

Choosing a climate technology with Wi-Fi support, you should pay attention to the main technical parameters, as well as additional options. Since it is a combination of all the capabilities of the device that will allow you to organize the air conditioning system in a room in a high-quality manner.

Observe the following instrument specifications:

  • type of construction;
  • color and design;
  • performance;
  • reliability and popularity of the brand;
  • sound pressure of blocks;
  • additional options.

Type of air conditioner. For the equipment of residential, small office premises, shops, classic wall-mounted devices or floor and ceiling type.

Their performance is sufficient for rooms from 10 to 80 m2. If more powerful systems are needed, then it is worth acquiring semi-industrial options.

In residential and office premises, in the presence of a suspended ceiling structure, it is often installed cassette split systems - this solution ensures uniform distribution of air flow and does not spoil the interior of the room.

Split systems in the interior
Under the brand name Mitsubishi Electric and AUX, models are produced from exquisite coffee to cardinally black and ruby ​​red. Thanks to this, users can complement the interior design of the room, emphasize the modern style of the room

Design. The color scheme and appearance of the design also plays an important role. Models in white color are present in almost all manufacturers.

And non-standard colors are used only by some companies that are trying to diversify the lineup, to give greater luxury and attractiveness.

Performance - The main parameter that you need to look at when choosing products. The quality and cooling rate of the object or its heating depends on this. You need to know only the area of ​​the room, the amount of equipment where the unit will be installed.

In the characteristics, the manufacturer indicates the recommended area for equipment placement. However, if there are a large number of people, computers, other devices in the room, you should select an unit with a performance higher than that.

A detailed algorithm for calculating the power of the air conditioner is given in this article.

Air conditioner noise level
Noisiness of constructions and additional functionality are secondary characteristics of equipment, but they should not be overlooked when buying

Noise and cleaning system. The user’s comfort and health depend on the volume of work, the presence of a filtration system, and ionization of air flows. Therefore, choose low-noise models of 19-25 dB, equipped with modern multilayer filters.

If you want to control the unit from anywhere in your home, city or country, purchase products that support the Wi-Fi function.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic

  1. Yulia

    Thanks to the development of technology, it is now possible to control all or almost all devices from your smartphone, which is very convenient. Bedside tables littered with a bunch of remotes from different equipment are a thing of the past. Therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to such a nice option as the presence of a wi-fi module. Overpayment there will be negligible, and the management and use of such a split system will become much more comfortable.

  2. Silver

    On my own, I can say that Wi-Fi support in a split system is a rather useful and convenient thing. Although now many devices are controlled through applications in the smartphone, so this has long ceased to be something unusual.

    Set the desired temperature, select the activation time by the timer, in the end, just turn it on or off without getting up from the couch - a very comfortable and valuable function. And most importantly, the overpayment is not very large.
