If you are thinking about buying an air conditioner for an apartment or a small office space, then the Equation split systems will be, in this case, a pretty good solution. This company appeared in Russia relatively recently, but at the same time it has already conquered the market of budgetary solutions for air conditioning of small rooms. The production itself began in Europe, or to be more precise, in France. The latest developments and technological processes are used, due to which the highest quality is achieved at a low price.
According to the manufacturer, their split systems are used by every eighth family in Russia. In the magazine Fobers you can find information that the air conditioners of this company were in the top 50 best-selling in the Russian Federation. And of course, it's nice that in reality, high-quality materials are used and the systems look modern and stylish. Therefore, it is worth considering them in more detail.
Split systems
Such air conditioners, although complex, are quite simple to operate. Of course, due to this design, the installation of an air conditioner is difficult for a simple user, but at the same time they are the most effective. For most manufacturers, including Equation, they are divided into two main types.
Conventional compressor systems
The use of such an air conditioner in everyday life is quite simple, because even an unprepared person will be able to understand the controls and adjust the air conditioning modes for themselves. Systems of this brand have suitable parameters for rooms and small apartments.
The manufacturer produces only wall-mounted split systems, therefore, use in premises that are large in volume and area is impossible. Their capacity ranges from 7.5 to 12 BTU, which is equivalent to cooling rooms ranging from 20 to 40 square meters. All models have a modern design and an elegant look. In addition, there are inverter-type models that will appeal to many lovers to save money at the expense of the brand.
Inverter systems
It turns out that the use of an inverter air conditioner is much more profitable in terms of energy consumption, as well as the development of its resources. Such compressors have a longer service life due to their characteristics, which is very important for split systems. In addition to the fact that they themselves are not as cheap as we would like, their installation also costs money, because it is not just difficult to install them on your own. You need to have a special tool and knowledge. But if you don't want to pay extra money, then you can take mobile air conditioners.
Floor standing mobile air conditioners
The advantage of being portable is the ability to take it with you to the dacha, connect it in another room, or even move it to another apartment and at the same time not spend money on installation and dismantling, as is the case with a split system. The capacity of mobile air conditioners is usually sufficient to cool one or several rooms. Although the price in the store, in comparison with split systems, is slightly higher, the difference is compensated for by the cost of installation. It is worth comparing the most popular models of Equation air conditioners.
