Wall mounted air conditioners

Wall-mounted air conditioning units are placed on a wall at a high level and are ideal for smaller areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, offices, server rooms and shops. They are installed in a position that can supply the room with an even air flow.

Typical rooms for wall mounted air conditioners

Many people believe that air conditioners suck air from outside the room which causes concern that the air might carry impunities and allergens like pollen; the truth is air conditioners do not pull air from outside, they suck hot air from the room into the unit.

The wall mounted air conditioning units comprise of two elements – an internal and an external unit. The air from the room is drawn into the wall mounted air conditioning unit. It travels over the condenser and is cooled, thanks to the refrigerant; a cooling agent used in many refrigeration products. The cool air is then forced back into the room, which pushes the hot air and moisture out through the external unit.

The area which the wall mounted air conditioner will cover depends on the size of the room. The bigger the room the bigger the size of the air conditioner required measured in British thermal units (BTU).

For a room of approximately:	Air con Size Required:
14 to 16 m²	9000 BTU
18 to 22 m²	12 000 BTU
28 to 33 m²	18 000 BTU
38 to 42 m²	24 000 BTU
52 to 56 m²	30 000 BTU

Which units are the best?

There are various manufactures of wall mounted air conditioners who offer the units at varying in cost. The same type of unit can have two different prices with a wide margin. Though this might be the case we have found in our 10 years of experience that price is not a true reflection of the durability of an air conditioner and at most times it is only associated with the brand. Although this might be true we do not advocate for all brands hence we have come up with a list of acceptable wall air conditioner brands that we can safely recommend and consider the best air conditioners.

Mitsubishi Zen wall mounted air conditioner

The Zen is a very popular premium wall air con unit and is certainly one of the best-looking units on the market; this unit offers a sophisticated, streamlined design.

The two smaller models offer extremely energy efficient ratings of ‘A+++’ and the 5kW unit is ‘A++’. They are exceptionally quiet.

It is also compatible with a multi-split system which means that even when installing multiple indoor wall units (up to five) you only require one outdoor condenser unit; this is a very useful option if there is limited space for multiple external condenser units.

Daikin Emura wall mounted air conditioner

Daikin has long been considered the brand leader in the air conditioner market based on their years of successfully manufacturing and trading ultra high-quality air conditioners. The Emura has a unique curved facia and a particularly elegant appearance.

The Daikin Emura has integrated ‘smart sensors’ that monitor room conditions for optimal performance. Its “intelligent eye” can identify whether or not the room is occupied and if the room is empty for more than 20 minutes, it will adjust its settings to save power (immediately switching back to full power when it detects movement). On top of this, the ‘eye’ amazingly directs air away from people in the room to avoid anyone feeling a cold draft.

The Emura wall unit also has a “sophisticated titanium apatite photo catalytic air purification filter that traps microscopic airborne particles, breaks down odors and absorbs organic contaminants such as bacteria and viruses.”
