The question of choosing an air conditioner in the summer is especially acute, so it is better to “prepare the sleigh in winter”, otherwise, there is a chance of making a rash purchase. In order to prepare in advance for the summer season and not make a hasty choice, under the influence of sunlight, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rating of the best manufacturers of air conditioners for apartments and houses.
First of all, it should be noted that all air conditioners are divided by type into monoblocks and split systems. Monoblocks are convenient for their mobility, compactness and ease of installation, but since the compressor is located inside the housing, they have a higher noise level. Split systems have a reduced noise level and are suitable for installation in the bedroom, while the blower is carried out behind the wall. This design also solves the problem of forced heat removal that exists in monobloc air conditioners.
There are Japanese, Chinese and South Korean manufacturers on the HVAC equipment market that offer air conditioners of any type and for any wallet size. However, the leading Japanese companies Daikin, Mitsubishi, have firmly established themselves in the leading positions. Air conditioners of this group belong to the highest price segment. The cost of the conditioner varies up to 100,000 rubles. Below we list the best companies that have a consistently high rating in the HVAC equipment market.
