Review of Avex air conditioners: error codes, comparison of window models and split systems

The Avex trade brand was created in 2011 at the initiative of the Diorit company. It became a logical step in the development of the organization's activities - the formation of its own production brand. Orders for the manufacture of household appliances are placed with reliable Chinese partners. A special place in the product line is occupied by Avex air conditioners, reviews of which are mostly positive.

Model range overview

At first glance, the assortment of the enterprise does not differ in variety - there is a standard line of split systems and one model of window air conditioners. However, their parameters can satisfy almost all the requirements of an ordinary buyer. These include quality, design and cost.

Before choosing, it is recommended to study how one series differs from another:

• Vella... Models with a standard design in the middle price range. Features - the indoor unit has a convenient indication of operating modes, a built-in Gold Catalyst filter. To optimize room cooling, the air flows are distributed in three areas. There is an option to automatically start after shutdown, remembering the current user settings.
• Vita... The debut line of HVAC equipment Avex. The appearance of the block is suitable for the interior of any room. Rounded edges, low operating noise, efficient air filter are the main advantages. Also worth noting is the budget price category.
• Inverter... The outdoor unit has an inverter, which allows you to optimize energy costs and increases the level of comfort - there is a fine adjustment of the cooling intensity. In addition to the standard functions, the package contains air ionization. It starts automatically after turning on the indoor unit.
• Window... The manufacturer decided to take a non-standard step - to make a window model. Advantages of the system - the installation of the air conditioner can be done independently, a simplified service scheme. However, in this case, the window must meet the requirements for the size of the opening for installation.

To complete the inverter models, Japanese-made compressors are used. They have the best performance parameters and rarely break.

Unlike split systems, window models can be quickly re-installed to another room. The manufacturer has provided a convenient mount, a simple filter cleaning scheme and freon level control.

Selection and comparison of characteristics

It is possible to choose and buy the optimal type of climatic equipment only after a detailed analysis of the characteristics. An important point is the instruction for air conditioners, which describes not only the nuances of operation and maintenance, but also the main parameters. To familiarize yourself with it, you can go to the official website of the manufacturer or consult the sellers before purchasing.

Basic selection parameters:

• type - with an internal block, simple or inverter, window construction;
• rated power of cooling, heating or ventilation rate of the room;
• a set of additional functions - types of filtration, distribution of air flow throughout the volume of the room, degree of timer setting, automatic start;
• actual price and manufacturer's warranty.

You also need to familiarize yourself with the features of warranty service, find out situations when you can repair the air conditioner yourself.Often, such attempts to rectify the situation will void the warranty.

It is also recommended to study the comparison table with a group of parameters for popular brand models.

All wall models have a space heating function. At the same time, the power is 7-10% lower than the cooling capacity. This option is not available for window models - they are designed only for cold air conditioning and ventilation mode.

Instructions for control panel and AVEX air conditioners

To optimize costs, a single control unit for the air conditioner was developed. Its shape is standard - in the upper front part there is a relatively large LCD display, under it are the main four control buttons. Below there are auxiliary ones designed to activate and adjust additional functions. The distance between the buttons is normal, which minimizes the likelihood of simultaneous pressing.

The instructions for the remote control describe the following main options:

• Swing... The choice of the direction of the air flow, its intensity.
• Turbo... The conditioning speed is automatically set to the maximum value. It is necessary for operational cooling or heating of the room, if such a function is available.
• Timer... Setting the time to turn on / off the device. It is possible to pre-program a standard or custom operating mode.
• Sleep... Designed to function in the evening and at night. When activated, the performance decreases, but at the same time the noise level drops.
• Heating... Needed to raise the room temperature.
• Thawing... It turns on automatically if there is ice on the outdoor unit. After activation, the device will not work immediately - it will take 10-15 minutes to thaw.

The disadvantages of the d / y include the absence of a temperature sensor in the case and the function of searching for a device when it is lost. But this does not in any way affect the quality and reliability of work. For correct operation it is necessary to replace the batteries up-to-date. The first sign of insufficient power is a delay in activating the function when the button is pressed.

AVEX air conditioner error codes

The correct functioning of the air conditioner depends on the professionalism of the installation. The best option is to order an installation service from a specialized company. If this cannot be done, the installation can be done on your own. The only exception is freon refueling. This will require special equipment.

It is also important to provide up-to-date service. To do this, you can use the recommendations from the user manual. They are as follows:

• Cleaning the air filter. The front panel is disassembled independently, the mesh filter is removed and wiped with a damp cloth. After drying, it is mounted back.
• Control of the absence of direct sunlight on the indoor unit. This can lead to its heating and, as a result, to a deterioration in the cooling of the room.
• In the event of significant breakdowns or malfunctions, you need to contact the service department.

Air conditioner error codes can help determine the fact of malfunctions. These are detailed in the manual. This is a general listing, options may vary depending on the specific model. You can clarify this point from the seller or an authorized dealer.

User reviews

This brand of HVAC equipment appeared relatively recently. But there are already several reviews of the work on the web. In general, they are positive. The split systems of Avex deserve attention most of all - reviews about them indicate the reliability of work and the compliance of the actual characteristics with the declared ones.

Users note the following positive points:

• optimal price / quality ratio;
• flexible configuration and the ability to quickly change parameters;
• a wide range of products;
• volumetric cooling of air in the room.

However, the following disadvantages were noticed:

• in automatic mode, only a fixed temperature is maintained - 24 ° C;
• there is no heating function in the window model;
• few specialized service centers.

The latter is a significant disadvantage, since in the event of a breakdown it is recommended to contact these representative offices of the organization.
