Features:
Cooling Capacity: 8,000 BTU cooling capacity makes it efficient for small to medium-sized rooms, capable of cooling an area of up to 350 sq. ft. under optimal conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for apartments, bedrooms, or small offices.
Heating Capacity: With 4,200 BTU and a 1.4 kW electric heat kit, the unit can also serve as a supplemental heater during colder months, providing reliable warmth in small spaces. It’s best used in transitional seasons or as an auxiliary heat source.
Energy Efficiency Rating (EER): With a high 10.8 EER, this model ensures that cooling and heating power is generated efficiently, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. The higher the EER, the more efficient the unit is at converting energy into cooling or heating output.
High Speed: 265 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is best for maximum air movement during cooling or heating cycles.
Low Speed: 225 CFM helps the unit to provide quieter operation while still providing adequate airflow for more subtle cooling or heating.
Wi-Fi Connectivity: Integrated Wi-Fi allows remote control and monitoring through the mobile app, providing easy access to adjust settings even when you're away from home.
Remote Control: The unit comes with a remote control, enabling you to adjust temperature, fan speed, and more without needing to approach the unit.
Remote Diagnostics & Monitoring: The smart features include remote diagnostics, which allow for troubleshooting and maintenance alerts directly through the app. This feature can help you identify and resolve issues promptly, reducing the need for in-person service visits.
Design & Installation Thru-the-wall installation is ideal for permanent installation. The air conditioner is designed to be mounted securely through an exterior wall, making it a space-saving solution for rooms where a window-mounted unit may not be feasible.
Chassis Type: Thru-the-Wall chassis provides durability, ensuring that the unit is fixed and will not move or vibrate during operation. It also helps in minimizing outside noise.
Dimensions: Width of 26", 22" depth, and 16" height makes it ideal for spaces where the installation space is limited, while still providing powerful performance.
Weight: This air conditioner weighs 66 lbs, making it moderately heavy for a thru-the-wall unit. Proper installation assistance is recommended due to its weight.
Voltage & Plug Type: 115 Volts / 1 Phase is a standard residential electrical system that ensures compatibility with most outlets in the US.
Plug Type: The 5-15P plug type is a regular household plug, meaning installation doesn't require specialized wiring or outlets.
Digital Control Panel: Clear and intuitive LED display for easy operation of cooling, heating, and fan speed. Adjustable temperature settings and fan speed controls allow you to customize your comfort.
Remote Control Included: Comes with a remote control to adjust settings from across the room, offering added convenience.
Multiple Fan Speeds: High and Low fan speeds provide flexibility in managing comfort while maintaining quieter operation at the lower speed.
ADA Compliant: The unit is designed to be easily accessible for individuals with disabilities, which makes it suitable for use in commercial or hospitality settings that need to accommodate a diverse range of guests.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant (R-32): R-32 refrigerant provides a lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants like R-410A, while still delivering efficient cooling performance.
Maximum Cooling Amps: The air conditioner draws a maximum of 6.7 amps to efficiently cool the room.
Maximum Cooling Watts: In cooling mode, it uses up to 740 watts of electricity to run the compressor, fan, and other internal components, making it an energy-efficient cooling solution for the given space.
Maximum Heating Amps: The unit draws a maximum of 11.8 amps in heating mode, which is more than in cooling mode because the electric heat needs more power to generate warmth.
Maximum Heating Watts: With 1,320 watts the unit consumes up to 1,320 watts of electricity when it is running in heating mode.
