The beginning of the history of the development of Toshiba was marked by the release in 1930 of a compressor for refrigerators, on the basis of which the world's first split-system household was created in 1961. Since then, Toshiba has become a leader in energy-saving technologies, and its diversified product portfolio has expanded to include IT equipment, electrical wiring, electrical power systems, electronics, home appliances, logistics services and more. And Toshiba air conditioners, which are assembled only in Japan, are rightfully considered the most reliable and high quality ones.
We offer you an overview of the range of Toshiba air conditioners.
Types and features of the lineup
As an international refrigeration product, Toshiba's air conditioning and ventilation systems are focused on meeting the needs of its users. They differ from the products of other manufacturers not only with high-quality Japanese components and solid assembly, but also:
- using a compressor with two rotors and an inverter drive type. This improves the efficiency of the device by increasing its resource, and the inverter provides automatic maintenance of temperature and humidity in the room and reduces the cost of paying for electricity by 30-40%;
- using a built-in two-stage zeolite filter, which is capable of cleaning the air from dust, bacteria, allergens 10 times faster, and eliminating all unpleasant odors present in it;
- the presence of an ionizer that lets only clean air into the room;
- self-cleaning function;
- modern, discreet design.
All Toshiba models have these features, regardless of their type and performance:
- household air conditioners for use in rooms up to 30 m2. Each such split-system toshiba is characterized by low noise level and energy efficiency, the ability to work for cooling and heating, small dimensions, etc.;
- thermal multifunctional multi-split systems designed for simultaneous service of all premises of a house or apartment;
- semi-industrial duct and cassette models with wall and window installation of an external unit, which are designed for air conditioning in industrial premises;
- floor and ceiling air conditioners, multifunctional and versatile in use. Moreover, floor-standing are mobile devices that can be moved around the room or from one room to another;
- heat pumps and multi-zone VRV and VRF convector-type systems, the capacity and size of which allows servicing an entire building at once: a residential building, office, shopping and entertainment complex, etc.
Distinctive features of Toshiba air conditioners are their high power and energy saving, quietness and innovative design.
Comparative characteristics of models
When choosing an air conditioner, it is worth considering the following technical and operational characteristics:
- the area of the room in which the unit is planned to be installed, taking into account the height of the ceilings;
- rated power of cooling, heating;
- air flow rate in ventilation mode;
- availability of additional functionality;
- features of the conditions of its installation and use: ambient temperature, humidity, etc.
For an illustrative example, let's compare some Toshiba models, in particular, consider wall-mounted air conditioners.

They work in several modes and have a wide range of functionality, which allows you to create a comfortable indoor climate at any time of the year.
Toshiba control panel and air conditioners manual
A remote control for the toshiba air conditioner has been developed for comfortable control of the device. It is usually supplied with an air conditioner and runs on batteries. It is designed in this way: the buttons that are used most often are located at the top, and the function control buttons are at the bottom. How to use the remote control and the nuances of setting the basic operating modes is described in the manual for toshiba ier air conditioners.
The remote control allows you to turn on the device, configure its parameters, select a comfortable mode of operation of the air conditioner, etc. The instructions also set out the technical description and operating features of the unit: how to properly install the toshiba air conditioner so that in the future it works as efficiently as possible, how connect and launch it, as well as other nuances. In addition, the instruction contains information about the air conditioner series, diagrams of its structure and a passport.
Controlling the settings and operating modes of the air conditioner is understandable at an intuitive level, but in order to use all its capabilities correctly, it is worth studying the instructions.
Toshiba air conditioner error codes
Inverter air conditioners from a Japanese manufacturer are equipped with a self-diagnosis system. Thanks to her, the control system checks itself, detects this or that malfunction, blocks the entire device and its operation and informs the user about the breakdown. In this case, the LED lamps begin to blink or light up continuously on the control panel of the indoor unit, and in some cases the external one.
If the unit breaks down, the display will show letters and numbers that indicate the cause of the malfunction - these are error codes for toshiba air conditioners. They help to identify and fix problems without dismantling the air conditioner itself, disassembling and cleaning its internal elements. At the same time, the service life and warranty service in the service are extended, and the installation of new spare parts, as well as the overhaul of the toshiba air conditioner, will not be required at all.
If the error code indicates a malfunction, for the elimination of which it is required to disassemble the rear panel of the indoor or outdoor unit of the air conditioner, you should contact the service center for repair and replacement of parts, and not do it yourself - breaking the seal will void the warranty.
