The first step in choosing: split or multi-split air conditioning?
Apartment air conditioning systems come in split and multi-split versions. What do these terms mean? Split air conditioning consists of one outdoor unit and one indoor air conditioner. In other words, it's designed to serve a single room. Multi-split air conditioning is a system that consists of one outdoor unit and several (up to five) indoor air conditioners. This makes it ideal for apartments with multiple rooms.
It is also worth knowing that in apartments or houses both air conditioning systems can function side by side. They will be perfect, for example, in two-level apartments. It happens that even in smaller premises it is recommended to use 2 separate split systems. This situation may be caused, among others, by too large distance between the unit and the indoor air conditioner, which would translate into lower efficiency of the device, higher installation costs, etc. It also happens that there are technological limitations in the building that make it impossible to build a larger system. This solution also has its advantages - in the event of failure of one split air conditioning system, the other system will still work.
It's worth remembering that any doubts regarding system selection and individual indoor air conditioners should be consulted with air conditioning installation specialists. This will help avoid potential errors during air conditioning design and installation.
What air conditioning for the apartment?
Choosing an air conditioning system for your home depends on many factors. The most important is undoubtedly the area and number of rooms the system will serve. It's worth remembering that the more indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit, the greater its capacity. Furthermore, the more powerful the outdoor unit, the more space it requires for installation or wall mounting. When estimating air conditioning costs, it's also worth keeping in mind that the price of the unit increases with power.
Air conditioning for the studio apartment
When installing air conditioning in a Warsaw apartment, a split system is the right solution—one unit connected to a single indoor unit. Depending on the size of the studio apartment, different air conditioners are recommended. For a 20m² room, a 2,5kW air conditioner is recommended. This unit is sufficient to achieve optimal temperature. For larger rooms, 25-35m², a 3,5kW air conditioner is recommended.

What else is worth paying attention to when choosing air conditioners for the apartment?
It is worth emphasizing that although the most important parameters in the selection of air conditioning are the area and number of rooms, for the optimal operation of devices, attention should also be paid to several other factors that will affect the efficiency of the system. In addition to those already indicated, it is also worth considering factors such as:
insulation of the building in which the apartment is located;
the size of the windows and their tightness;
the use of curtains, blinds or roller shutters in the premises, which can effectively limit the access of sunlight to the room and thus help to maintain optimal thermal conditions;
location of warm pipes in walls or floors, which will have an influence on the higher temperature in the room, which the air conditioner will have to neutralize;
side of the world and sunlight in the room - this also increases the temperature in the room;
the floor on which the premises is located - the most demanding floor is the top floor, which, thanks to its proximity to a roof, always heats up more than flats located on lower levels;
height of rooms in the apartment - this parameter is of particular importance when air conditioning is also intended as a heating source.
The building's location is crucial when selecting the right equipment. If the premises are located in the city center, it's worth using slightly more powerful air conditioning units. This is because the concrete surroundings heat up, raising the ambient temperature by up to 5 ° C compared to suburban or rural areas. As a result, nights outside the city are pleasantly cool, while nights in the city are unbearable.
Air conditioning for your apartment or house should meet 3 basic conditions:
quiet work,
energy efficiency,
full comfort of blowing cool or heated air.
Which air conditioning should you choose? You can make the decision about the type of device for yourself, based on our tips. In order for residential air conditioning to be as comfortable as possible and fulfill its function perfectly, it is worth carefully analyzing the conditions resulting from the shape of the building, interior layout, etc. factors.
The most popular types of home air conditioners
Wall air conditioners
The simplest solution is a wall-mounted split air conditioner. The indoor unit, as the name suggests, is mounted on the wall of your choice. The outdoor unit is usually placed on a balcony. It is placed on anti-vibration feet or mounted on a railing or exterior wall. In some cases, this isn't possible, leaving the roof or basement as the only option.
Floor-standing air conditioners
It also happens that the air conditioner in the house cannot be mounted on the upper part of the wall, e.g. due to lack of space. A console-type air conditioner, which is placed e.g. next to a radiator, can be a solution here. Cool air is blown from the top of the device, and warm air flows downwards, giving you full comfort in the room.
Cassette air conditioners
If your home has or is planning to install a suspended ceiling, instead of a wall-mounted air vent, you can opt for a cassette air conditioner , mounted in the ceiling. The air flow from the cassette is distributed in four directions, allowing this type of home air conditioning to provide complete comfort. This is a very advantageous solution due to the uniformity of the air flow.
Duct air conditioners
Another solution for air conditioning an apartment or house is a ducted air conditioner . This device is useful when you want air flow from a wall or ceiling but don't have the space for a traditional wall-mounted air conditioner. Cooled or heated air is distributed through ducts into the room, and the outlet is finished with an aesthetically pleasing grille, which you can choose from our catalog or order individually.
Multi Split air conditioning
Our clients often air-condition multiple rooms in their homes or apartments. Multi-split air conditioners are the preferred solution. This type of system means that a single outdoor unit controls multiple indoor units located in different rooms. We offer wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, and console air conditioners. Depending on the air conditioner brand and available model range, we select the best solutions for our clients to ensure complete air comfort.
What air conditioning should I choose for my apartment?
When choosing an air conditioner manufacturer and its installation, it's best to prioritize your comfort. A home air conditioner should be quiet, first and foremost, so as not to disturb your sleep. High energy efficiency is also crucial, as it won't inflate your electricity bills and ensures the cleanest air you breathe. Air conditioning warranty service is crucial – the availability of spare parts, the responsiveness of the company that installed your air conditioning, and the warranty on the air conditioner and installation. With comprehensive service, meaning you buy and install air conditioners from a single supplier, you won't hear about someone else breaking something.

Here you will find all the necessary information that will allow you to choose the optimal system that will allow you to cool the apartment on hot days and raise the temperature of the internal air when it is too cold in the house or apartment.
Modern air conditioning systems, in addition to cooling, also offer heating. At the same time, they are responsible for purifying indoor air, eliminating not only organic substances but also unpleasant odors and, in the case of the most advanced units, even PM 2,5 smog particles. This means that when choosing a home air conditioner, you're not just choosing a cooling device. Good home air conditioners offer a range of valuable features that improve indoor air quality, which are certainly worth taking advantage of when using an air conditioning system.
Why is it worth having air conditioning in the apartment?
Home air conditioners are ideal for both cooling and heating. They operate in a wide temperature range – the most efficient ones even from -15°C to +46°C – for example, Toshiba , Daikin , and Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners . This means they can be successfully used both in summer and during the colder seasons, when only partial heating is sufficient without the need to activate the central heating system.
Optimal thermal conditions in your home or apartment at any time of the year
- Clean Air free from microorganisms, smog, unpleasant odors and allergens
- Anti-frost functionthat allows you to maintain the temperature of +8 degrees C in the entire facility, which prevents freezing of water systems - perfect for a longer trip in winter or to summer houses - this feature is usually available in the most advanced devices - e.g. Daikin air conditioners Toshiba
Air conditioner manufacturers offer a wide range of flexible solutions for homes and apartments. When choosing an air conditioning system, it's important to choose one that meets all user expectations. And if you're unsure which home air conditioner to choose, it's worth seeking expert advice.
Is air conditioning at home healthy?
Breathing clean air, free from microbes, fungi and smog, at an optimal temperature is beneficial for the well-being and generally for the well-being of residents. It has a positive effect not only on faster regeneration or a comfortable sleep, but also has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system. Therefore, it is worth using its benefits, especially for people with respiratory problems, children, the elderly and allergy sufferers.

What to pay attention to when choosing devices for the house / apartment?
- For what purposes will it be used air conditioning system? Or just for coolingor also for heating and eventually dehumidification?
- What operating costs (mainly from electricity consumption) are users willing to pay?
- The purity of the air emitted - this is a feature that should be particularly noted by residents of smog-threatened localities, caretakers of young children, allergy sufferers and people suffering from chronic respiratory tract infections.
- Comfort: do the devices work quietly (important especially at night), what airflow mode they have.
- Location of devices, number of points, assembly options.
The first step to consider is the size of the air conditioning system - that is, the number of rooms that will be served, an indication of the places where the installation of indoor units is planned and the specification the location of the outdoor unit. These items will determine if the customer needs air conditioning type split, Czy Multi-Split. Air conditioning for the apartment multi-split type lets you connect up to 5 indoor units to one aggregate. It matters with larger solutions installation length with freon and the difference in height between each air conditioner and the outdoor unit.
Which air conditioner should you choose for your home and apartment?
There's a wide selection of devices available on the market designed for residential properties . These devices are ideal for apartments . Manufacturers offer two types of systems for apartments :
- split air conditioning made of one indoor air conditioner i aggregate external;
- multi-split air conditioning made of one aggregate i several indoor air conditioners.
Such solutions allow the air conditioning to be adapted to any apartment.
A wide range of models and types allows users to adapt the system to their individual needs. In our offer you will find both top-shelf brand air conditioners Toshiba, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electricas well as more economical solutions proposed by LG, GREE Innova. Among indoor air conditioners, you can choose between wall air conditioners, cassettes, duct units or Bi-Flow consoles from various manufacturers. They differ in the method of installation and air distribution. We encourage you to learn more about the construction of air conditioning for the apartment. You will also find more information about the types of indoor units and chillers later in this section.
A variety of solutions for apartments and houses
Different models of indoor units feature different installation methods and air distribution within the room. We'll illustrate this range of solutions using the Toshiba brand as an example , offering the most diverse selection of air conditioner types. These include:
- wall units, i.e. wall air conditioners - the most popular solution in homes; Toshiba recommends here energy-saving air conditioners SEIYA, SHORAI, SHORAI EDGE, SHORAI PREMIUM, DAISEIKAI 9 and HAORI
- duct units - these devices are usually enclosed with a duct and only the air outlet is visible to the public;
- cassette - air distribution in 2 or 4 directions that can be hidden in the ceiling;
- BI-FLOW consoles - usually located at the height of traditional radiators;
- ceiling units placed where there is no room for a traditional wall-mounted air conditioner.
This variety of indoor units means that air conditioning systems can be installed in any apartment and meet the installation expectations of each customer.
The purity of the emitted air is crucial . Purifying indoor air is, in addition to thermal processing, the primary task of air conditioners. The most basic units eliminate microorganisms and fungi from the air. More advanced units, with better filtration, also remove suspended dust particles—including PM2,5. The best air conditioners, such as those from Daikin and Toshiba , are additionally equipped with an ionization system, which increases air purification efficiency while eliminating unpleasant odors.
For even better air quality, some units feature a self-cleaning function that minimizes the risk of bacteria, viruses, and fungi growing inside the indoor units. This is important for the health and well-being of users.

Advantages of air conditioning systems, i.e. how to choose an air conditioner for the apartment
Modern air-conditioning installations are characterized not only by easy operation, but also by high energy efficiency and work efficiency. The flexibility of applications, both in terms of installation and selection of indoor units, as well as adapting the operating modes to the expectations of users, is their undoubted advantage.
How to cool the rooms at home? Air-conditioning systems will work in all utility rooms of a flat and a house:
- in the living room: they guarantee the right temperature to rest and purify the air
- in a children's room: they will provide suitable conditions for children while removing the air from substances that are dangerous for the youngest
- in the bedroom: they will make the temperature optimal for relaxation (usually lower than in other parts of the house)
- in the kitchen - they will not only maintain the optimal air temperature, but also eliminate unpleasant odors
Quiet operation in air conditioners
Silence is something elusive, yet so desirable in the comfort of your home. It's especially important at night, when it allows for effective relaxation. Each brand and model of air conditioner has its own characteristics regarding noise emissions during operation. Toshiba air conditioners are among the quietest units available on the market . They feature a silent mode , which makes the units operate extremely quietly, with noise levels in some cases not exceeding 18 dB(A) – less than a whisper. Airflow is crucial for a sense of comfort – the ability to adjust the angle of the horizontal and vertical louvers and the ability to create narrow or wide airflows is crucial here.
When buying air conditioning, it is worth checking its energy efficiency , because it directly translates into the amount of electricity bills.
Toshiba appliances are among the most efficient in terms of energy consumption – their seasonal SEER (cooling) and SCOP (heating) coefficients of performance represent the appliance's energy consumption efficiency. Each air conditioner has these values listed in its technical specifications. Check them before purchasing – this way, you'll know how much electricity will be required to operate the appliance and what the costs of using the air conditioning will be. The cheapest to operate (i.e., the least energy-consuming) are appliances from reputable brands like Toshiba and Daikin . They also supply appliances with high energy ratings of A++/A+++.

A wide selection of various indoor units
Air conditioning for the apartment is also a perfect solution for allergy sufferers, the elderly and with health problems related to the respiratory tract. Clean air, free from microorganisms, allergens, suspended dusts and even unpleasant odors, ensures full comfort of life, rest and work.
How much does air conditioning for a home cost?
The price for all devices operating in the system depends on the unit prices of room air conditioners and their power. The power of the outdoor unit, which task is to operate the entire system, is also of great importance. It is worth noting that along with the increase in power, the price of the aggregate also increases.
Another issue is operation. So how much does air conditioning cost for a home? The answer is more complicated. This cost includes both electricity consumption and regular (annual or semi-annual) system maintenance. Expenses related to electricity consumption depend on the energy efficiency rating of individual air conditioners and how the system is operated.
Installation of air conditioning for home and apartment
Installation of a home air conditioning system requires the connection of indoor units to the aggregate. In addition to the above-mentioned you will need to install a piping system, electrical connections and a condensate drain system. You will also need to drill holes in the exterior wall of the building and hide piping and cables. They can be hidden in the wall, but this is associated with a longer implementation time and renovation works, or in electrical installation strips.
Can air conditioning be installed in a block of flats? Naturally! It is only worth remembering that to suspend the outdoor unit on the outer wall of a multi-family building, you need the consent of the owner, manager or housing community. If you plan to place an outdoor air conditioner on the balcony floor, consent is not required. You also do not need a permit for the installation of indoor units.

What should be included in the air conditioning service
Construction of home air conditioning systems
Contemporary air conditioning systems are installations that consist of several basic elements. These include indoor units, outdoor unit (chiller), copper piping system, power supply and drainage system. An indispensable element of the installation is the refrigerant ensuring temperature exchange.
Which air conditioning should I choose for my home?
Air conditioning systems for houses and apartments can be built in two ways. The first is split air conditioners. They consist of one indoor unit and an aggregate located outside the facility. They are dedicated to service small spaces, usually consisting of one, maximum two rooms - e.g. a studio apartment. Split air conditioning can also be installed in homes, but it is worth remembering that multiple systems will be needed to operate several rooms, which will translate into several units located outside the building.
Multi-split systems consist of several indoor air conditioners and one outdoor unit. Typically, they include 2 to 5 indoor air conditioners and 1 outdoor unit. They are designed to serve several rooms. Indoor units operate autonomously and independently of each other. This makes it possible to control each air conditioner separately. Moreover, autonomous operation is not only about switching individual units on or off - they can work with different power, in different modes and set temperatures. As a result, for example, in a children's room you can set the temperature of +24 degrees C (as the most optimal for small children), and in your bedroom +19 degrees C, because it allows for a comfortable rest.
Indoor air conditioners for home and apartment
For users, the most important element of the air conditioning system are indoor units. They can function in both split and multi-split systems (before buying, it is worth checking if the device model is suitable for the selected system).
How indoor air conditioners work
Indoor units, operating in both split and multi-split systems, include an evaporator and a fan that is responsible for forcing the air movement. Their task is to distribute the air after thermal treatment (cold or warm, depending on the set operation function, i.e. cooling or heating) and absorbing heat from the air in the room. They transfer this energy to the refrigerant, which is then discharged to the outdoor unit for temperature exchange.
The advantage of modern indoor air conditioners is air purification, quiet operation and efficient air distribution.
Wall air conditioners
Wall air conditioners are the most popular solution for residential buildings. Investors, however, also have at their disposal duct units, cassette units and Bi-Flow consoles. What are the differences between the different types of air conditioners and where to install the air conditioner?
This type of indoor unit is most popular in residential applications. The units are suspended from the wall, at a short distance from the ceiling (at least 30 cm), ensuring excellent air distribution. Wall-mounted air conditioners are characterized by a variety of shapes and colors, making it relatively easy to match the unit to a specific interior design. Their location allows for considerable flexibility in room design. Which wall-mounted air conditioner should you choose for your room? You can choose from units with different designs, colors, functions, and air distribution methods.
Toshiba offers several models with different functions and designs, including: SEIYA, SHORAI, SHORAI EDGE, SHORAI PREMIUM, DAISEIKAI 9 and the latest HAORI.
Duct air conditioners
Ducted air conditioners are particularly popular in commercial spaces, but are also gaining popularity in larger residential buildings. Air is supplied through a network of ducts running through the wall or ceiling. They are often installed in the ceiling void or above a suspended ceiling. Their advantage is that the only visible element to users is the diffuser – the air vents through which the conditioned air is released.
cassettes
Cassette air conditioners are installed in suspended ceilings, making them ideal for installation in rooms with higher ceilings than traditional apartment rooms. They can function as both split and multi-split air conditioners (choosing the right model for your system is crucial). Cassettes can be equipped with single-, two-, or four-way airflow. The latter ensures the best air distribution within the room. Their undoubted advantage is their installation, which allows the entire unit to be concealed, leaving only the airflow element visible.
Bi-Flow Consoles
Bi-Flow consoles are floor-mounted air conditioners that perfectly fit under the windows. They have the function of underfloor heating, which ensures proper distribution of warm air at the floor level.
Thus, they guarantee the highest level of thermal comfort of all types of air conditioners. They have two air outlets, making them also efficient when used with the cooling function.
What to look for when choosing air conditioning for a house or apartment?
- the system in which the device works - i.e. split or multi-split air conditioners
- power of indoor air conditioners - this should be adjusted to the volume of the serviced room
- outdoor unit power - more indoor air conditioners require a more powerful outdoor air conditioner
- energy efficiency of the device - you will find out the fastest when finding the energy class of the air conditioner - the least electricity is consumed by units marked with the symbol A +++, in other words, the higher the energy class of the air conditioner (e.g. A +++), the lower bills you will pay for electricity consumption
- it is also worth paying attention to other elements contributing to the possibility of energy consumption, e.g. ECO mode, the use of two-rotating inverter compressors, innovative shape of fan blades, etc .;
- performance of individual models - parameters such as SCOP and SEER will be useful here, which determine the seasonal performance of the device; SEER refers to the efficiency of cooling operation, SCOP to the efficiency of heating operation; the higher the parameters of these indicators, the more efficiently the device works - that is, it consumes less electricity to generate a unit of heating / cooling energy;
- filtration system - each device model has a built-in filter system responsible for cleaning the air inside the room, the most advanced units eliminate viruses, bacteria, fungi, allergens (pollen, dust), unpleasant odors and even PM2,5 smog particles from the air
- air distribution system - the importance of this parameter is related to the perception of cold air blowing; more advanced air conditioners prevent the feeling of draft and evenly distribute the temperature in the room
- functions - it is worth choosing devices with functions that you care about the most - e.g. air ionization, self-cleaning, HADA CARE function, fan modes, POWER, SLEEP, quiet operation mode
- design - the design of air conditioners is more and more diverse in terms of shapes and colors, textures and materials used (e.g. fabric on the front panel)
- control - modern solutions are not only remote control, but also control using remote applications using the Wi-Fi module (i.e. from anywhere on earth with access to the Internet) and voice control, which is possible thanks to Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa applications
Where to install the indoor unit of the air conditioner
The installation location of an indoor air conditioner depends on the type of unit, but all types of home air conditioners must have adequate space to allow for free air exchange. Wall-mounted air conditioners are located on the walls, at least 30 cm from the ceiling, ducted air conditioners in specially constructed ducts in the ceiling, cassette air conditioners usually in a suspended ceiling, and console air conditioners are placed on walls near the floor.
Where to install the air conditioner in the apartment? The basic parameter should be thermal comfort and the method of air distribution and airflow offered by the device. Choose a place in the room so that the air flow is not directed directly to the place where the household members most often stay - e.g. a sofa in the living room. Indoor air conditioners can be installed in any room: in the living room, children's rooms, hall / hall, kitchen, as well as in the bedroom and office.

Outdoor units - which one to choose
The choice of outdoor unit for both split and multi-split systems must be tailored to the capacity of the indoor units. Commercially available units are typically divided into units dedicated to the number of indoor units in the system, so you can choose from units designed to connect 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 indoor units. Importantly, a single system can include different types of air conditioners, such as a cassette, ducted unit, wall-mounted air conditioner, or bi-flow console . The only factors that matter here are the number and capacity of the indoor units.
The outdoor unit includes a condenser, a compressor and an expansion valve responsible for the exchange of the temperature of the refrigerant, and an air fan. Thanks to the use of refrigerant compression, the heat accumulated in it is removed to the outside. It is worth noting that the outdoor unit works louder than indoor air conditioners. Its location should therefore be planned in a way that will not interfere with everyday life. This problem concerns especially apartments in multi-family buildings. The innovative shape of the fan blades were used in higher class units, which makes them quieter in operation.
Where to install the outdoor unit of the home air conditioner?
Each air conditioning systemwhether or not it is a type split Multi-Splitrequires application outdoor unitwhich is the de facto heart of the system. Aggregate supports all indoor units installed in the apartment. Landlords need to be aware that its placement on the exterior facade of a building usually requires the approval of the relevant housing association, community or property owner. This applies to hanging the air conditioner on an external wall, also if the device is to be hung on a separate balcony. The situation is different when aggregate is placed on the balcony floor - then the permit is not required. The downside to this solution is that outdoor air conditioner takes up a lot of space, which is felt by residents on small balcony areas.

Air purification in the house and apartment
One of the biggest advantages of air conditioning is its air purification function. Efficient filters ensure the neutralization of microorganisms (viruses, bacteria), fungi, allergens, including pollen, dust and animal hair. More advanced indoor units also eliminate unpleasant odors, including tobacco smoke and even PM2,5 smog particles. Clean indoor air is the answer to the question whether home air conditioning is healthy.
Not only filters in indoor air conditioners are responsible for the high purity class of the emitted air. It is worth choosing devices equipped with a self-cleaning exchanger, thanks to which the moisture inside the device is reduced, and thus the development of mold harmful to health is limited. Another element for a healthy aura is the easy-to-clean drip tray.
The most advanced element used in indoor units is the plasma ionizer, which, thanks to the production of ozone, deodorizes and disinfects the air. Its effect is the neutralization of all types of microorganisms and organic pollutants. For maximum cleanliness, you can use the ULTRA PURE function that eliminates up to 95% of PM2,5 smog particles.
It is worth adding that the most advanced filtration systems in air conditioners are, among others on Toshiba and Daikin devices. These producers took care of both an extremely effective filtration system and air ionization. Devices of cheaper brands, such as GREE or LG, provide less effective air purification, often without an ionization system.
Comfortable use - which air conditioner for the house?
For residents of a house or apartment with air conditioning, the comfort of its use is important. It can be reduced to comfortable control, quiet operation of units and feelings related to the way of air supply.
Air conditioning control in the house and apartment
Contemporary air conditioning in the home provides a wide range of possibilities for managing the work of units. Air cooling in the house can be controlled by a remote control. It allows you to operate devices in terms of every function they offer. What's more, modern systems allow you to program one button on the remote control, which will be responsible for working in the user's favorite settings.
More and more air conditioning systems also allow you to control individual devices using a Wi-Fi module. Thanks to the application installed on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets or laptops), you can commission units to work from any place in the world with Internet access. What's more, in advanced systems - for example, in the case of systems based on Toshiba hardware - the applications also provide full control in terms of work efficiency and allow you to supervise the electricity consumption. This allows the units to work in a way that helps to reduce their operating costs.
The latest solution is the ability to control air conditioners using voice commands. This function is performed using the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant applications.
Airflow at home
The method of air supply and distribution realized by individual devices is of great importance for air conditioning users. So where to install the indoor unit of the air conditioner to maximize the feeling of comfort for users? It is important that the residents using the system do not get the impression of a draft perceived as a blast of cold air directed at the body. Thermal comfort in the rooms and proper air distribution can be realized in a way that will not be burdensome for users.
Indoor units offer several different airflow and distribution solutions. One of these is the 3D airflow control function, which allows you to control the movement of the horizontal and vertical louvers to achieve optimal airflow. This allows you to set a directional airflow, eliminating direct airflow onto occupants. Long-range air distribution is crucial for air distribution and achieving uniform temperature throughout the cooled room.
Another feature is the Intelligent Airflow System which provides 6 different airflow methods. Thanks to this solution, residents can choose the one that best suits their needs.
Does air conditioning in the home dry the air? Undoubtedly yes, which can especially be felt by human skin. The remedy for this is one of Toshiba's latest ventilations - the HADA CARE Flow function, which regulates the level of hydration and prevents the skin from drying out. This feature also improves air distribution in the room. These features are due to the special design and position of the louvers, which create an indirect flow by circulating air from the top of the room. This treatment helps to achieve an even temperature throughout the interior and increases the level of comfort.
Quiet operation of domestic air conditioners
The noise level emitted by operating devices is not without significance for the users of apartments and houses. Too loud operation of air conditioners not only disturbs everyday life, work, rest or sleep, but also distracts and irritates. Therefore, when answering the question of what air conditioner to choose for a room, it is worth considering the level of sound made by the device during operation. Toshiba provides indoor air conditioners that emit a sound of 19 dB (A) as the air cools in your home - it's like a soft human whisper. Thus, they will not interfere with work, rest and sleep. The noise level is also important in the case of outdoor units, especially when the installation is installed in a multi-family building. It is worth choosing one that will not disturb your neighbors because of the noise.
Use air conditioning to protect the environment
In the era of striving to create ecological devices, designers and constructors of air conditioning systems are increasingly turning to solutions whose task is to protect or at least not harm the natural environment. This applies to both the use of ecological refrigerants and the energy efficiency of indoor and outdoor units.
R32 refrigerant - the most harmless of all preparations used in refrigeration systems
The advantage of the latest air conditioners is the use of ecological R32 refrigerant. This substance replaces the previously used factor R410A, in relation to which it has a 3 times smaller impact on the creation of the greenhouse effect and is more efficient and cheaper. As a result, in addition to having a lower environmental impact, it can be used 30% lower than R4010A. It is worth adding that the R410A was in 2015. completely withdrawn from the market in new devices. Although it can still be used in the event of service work, regulations have already been introduced that prohibit its use completely from 2025. And for this reason, it should be emphasized that it is not worth buying air conditioners that are dedicated to the R410A refrigeration process.
Energy efficiency of domestic air conditioners
When buying air conditioners, it is worth paying attention to their energy class in both cooling and heating mode. The most energy-efficient devices are classified as A +++ class - they consume the least electricity and at the same time guarantee high work efficiency. Modern air conditioners are equipped with an inverter system, which allows operation in a modulating mode - i.e. it adjusts the system operation in a way that allows to maintain the set thermal conditions permanently. This mode of operation is the most energy-efficient and does not require the device to operate at the highest speed.
An example of applied solutions that allow low electricity consumption by air conditioners is a Hybrid DC Inverter connected to a Toshiba rotary compressor, which generates low power consumption regardless of the thermal conditions outside. Dual-rotating compressors in combination with inverter technology also reduce the energy consumed by the unit thanks to the continuous regulation of the capacity.
How much is air conditioning for an apartment?
When it comes to air conditioners, it's also worth considering the available features that promote environmentally friendly, low energy consumption. For example, Toshiba offers units with an ECO function , which allows for energy savings of up to 50%. Another useful feature, external unit defrosting, improves system efficiency in sub-zero outdoor temperatures. An interesting and significant savings feature is the anti-frost function , which maintains the interior temperature at +8°C. This is especially useful during extended winter absences and in summer cottages, as it raises the interior temperature to a level that protects water systems from freezing while minimizing energy consumption.
How much electricity does air conditioning consume at home?
Electricity consumption by the system depends on the energy class of individual indoor units and the aggregate. The higher the energy class, the lower the power consumption. The way in which the entire system is used is also important - if it works continuously, it consumes less energy than when the units are turned on occasionally.
Installation of air conditioning in the house and apartment
From the point of view of air conditioning installation, the location of the indoor units and outdoor unit is crucial.
Where to install the outdoor unit of the air conditioner?
The unit can be either placed on the ground or, for example, on the balcony floor, or hung on the external wall of the building. It is worth recalling here that in order to install the generator on the wall of a multi-family building, the consent of the owner of the building, a cooperative or a housing community is required. The choice of indoor air conditioners is left to the investor, although it is worth checking in advance whether the technical parameters of the premises allow the installation of specific units.
The installation of the air conditioning system also requires the connection of all devices with a piping system designed for the circulation of the refrigerant, supply and drainage of condensate. The most aesthetic, but more time-consuming and more expensive at the same time, is to hide the freon installation along with the electrical wiring in the wall. Another option is to use an electrical installation strip - this method is cheaper and faster to implement.
After connecting all the elements, service technicians should check the process of cooling the room through a trial run of the system, which allows to assess the correct operation of all devices and condensate drainage.
How much does it cost to install air conditioning in my home?
Installation of air conditioning should be entrusted to professionals with appropriate permissions. They will ensure the correct operation of the system. After their work, home air conditioning is guaranteed for a year until the first service inspection is carried out.

Home air conditioning service - why is it important?
Regular air conditioning servicing ensures long-term, efficient operation. This includes cleaning, inspections, and any necessary repairs. Air conditioning systems should be serviced at least once a year in spring (if used exclusively for cooling) or twice a year in spring and fall (if used for both cooling and heating).
Basic air conditioning service should include all activities related to cleaning the system, including:
- cleaning of indoor units and aggregate,
- cleaning the condenser of the outdoor unit,
- fumigation and disinfection of the evaporator of indoor units,
- cleaning the housing of air conditioners
- internal,
- cleaning and disinfection of filters.
Systematic air conditioning service
For the above activities, service technicians should use safe for humans and at the same time effective bactericidal, viral and fungicidal preparations.
Cleaning is only part of the air conditioning service procedure. For the proper operation of the system in the coming season, it is important to check the tightness of the cooling system and, if necessary, to supplement it, check the electrical components and the drainage system for patency. Systematic air conditioning service is also a way to quickly diagnose small faults that, if unnoticed, could cause a serious failure of the system, leading to the deactivation of the air conditioning function.
It is worth adding that uncleaned home air conditioning loses not only the efficiency of air filtration, but also efficiency, which translates into higher electricity bills. At the same time, non-fungal devices can emit mold that is harmful to health - and this is the reason why air conditioning in an apartment can be harmful.
What air conditioning for your home - choose according to your needs
Each object has different characteristics, on the basis of which it is possible to indicate the structure of the system. The expectations and needs of residents are also important when choosing air conditioning.
Step
The first step in choosing air conditioning for your home and apartment is to determine the number of rooms that will be served by the system. If the apartment has only one or two rooms (e.g. a studio apartment in a block of flats), you can opt for a split system - that is, one indoor unit connected to an outdoor unit. In the case of houses or larger apartments, it is worth choosing multi-split air conditioning with several (up to 5) indoor units and 1 outdoor unit serving all rooms.
Step
The next step is to select the indoor units. We already wrote that wall and duct air conditioners, Bi-Flow cassettes and consoles are used for houses and apartments. Their choice depends both on the needs of the residents and the technical capabilities of the facility. The outdoor unit is selected for both the number of indoor air conditioners and their power. The more indoor air conditioners, the more power the unit must have to operate them.
Step
The next step is to select indoor devices in terms of their functions. Here, special attention should be paid to air purification (if allergy sufferers live in the house, it is worth purchasing units that ensure the maximum class of air purity). For many years of savings, you should choose devices with the highest energy class - preferably A +++ and high seasonal efficiency. For more details, see the description of indoor units, where you will find information on what to look for when choosing indoor air conditioners.
What do you need to pay attention to when choosing air conditioning in the apartment?
Number of indoor units
Both split and multi-split air conditioning systems are used in apartments . In apartment solutions, I recommend using 1 to 5 indoor units – this is the number needed to maintain the appropriate climate throughout the entire unit.
Air conditioners are recommended for living rooms , dining rooms , and bedrooms . Air conditioners allow for everyday comfort, while air conditioners provide a pleasant environment for rest. Look for units with a quiet mode, which allows for minimal noise that won't disturb sleep. Daikin and Toshiba air conditioners operate the quietest .
Clean Air
Toshiba is a company known for its high-quality appliances that ensure a comfortable and high-quality living environment. A key advantage of its air conditioners is the emission of high-quality, clean air . Their filters ensure the air is not only temperature-adjusted to customer expectations but also free from microorganisms, mites, dust, airborne particles, and unpleasant odors. The filters are easy to replace, contributing to quick service and lower operating costs. Daikin units also excel in achieving superior air purity, equipped with an effective filtration system and air ionization.
Is air conditioning in your home healthy? Clean air in living spaces is crucial for the health and comfort of its occupants. Air conditioners that provide effective air purification are especially essential in spaces frequented by small children (including infants), allergy sufferers, asthmatics, and those with other respiratory conditions or weakened immune systems.
Energy consumption
Significant from the point of view of operation is the efficiency of air conditioners in terms of electricity consumption. It is worth remembering that the higher the energy class of the device, the lower the costs of electricity will be. Therefore, when choosing an air conditioner, pay attention to the energy class and choose devices that are at least A + class or higher.
Toshiba air conditioners are energy-saving devices that use a rotary inverter compressor resulting in low electricity consumption.
High energy efficiency is confirmed by the energy class of the devices from A+ to A+++ and the seasonal efficiency coefficients SEER (for cooling) and SCOP (for heating), which are among the best in their class.
The same is true for Daikin air conditioning . This brand's units have energy ratings of A++ and A+++.
How to use air conditioning at home?
Modern air conditioners are inverter devices, i.e. those that regulate the level of work efficiency depending on the conditions inside the room. How to effectively cool a room? The most cost-effective way to use these devices is continuous operation - in the summer it is enough to select the desired temperature and leave the air conditioner on all the time. As a result, its work will only consist in maintaining the temperature without the need to use high power to change a few degrees Celsius.
Continuous air conditioning operation has one more advantage - it allows for systematic purification of the air from organic and inorganic particles, so you always have a guarantee of breathing a healthy and clean atmosphere.
How to use air conditioning at home?
It is worth remembering that individual units in the system can work independently of each other - both using other functions and ensuring a different temperature in the rooms. Here, the freedom to use the system is large and limited only by the fact that all units must operate in the same mode - i.e. heating or cooling. Thus, the residents of the house or apartment can set a different heating / cooling level in each room. Ask for example 22 degrees C in the living room, 24 degrees C in the children's room, and 19 degrees C. in the bedroom.
