SMALLEST AIR CONDITIONER

What is the smallest air conditioner I can buy? There’s only one answer to that question. A Mitsubishi Heavy Industry 2kw SRK 20 ZSA-W Avanti – pictured opposite.

These are the smallest air conditioners you can use and still be sure that it will cool the bedroom efficiently. Accept no substitutes. A portable air conditioner will not do the job. A fan will not do the job. A slave with a palm frond may do the job but getting a slave can be difficult these days when slave markets are illegal everywhere except Libya.

You now have a dilemma on your hands. You can go to Libya and buy all the slaves you want, or buy a MHI 2kw Avanti and install it in your bedroom. If it was me I’d try the MHI first. Customs get a bit funny when you try to bring slaves in through Sydney International.

You may not be using it in a bedroom. Perhaps you work from home and need an office where the temperature is slightly lower than hell to get any work done. Maybe you spend your life playing PC games and need a cool gaming room to maximize your kill streaks. Where you put it doesn’t matter. Only the room size is important. If your bedroom / office / gaming room / slave quarters or grow room are about the same size as a standard Australian bedroom then this little baby will keep it cool all summer long.

People sometimes ask me what’s the difference between the 2.0 and the 2.5 ?

I find it hard to resist saying ……’0.5kw dummy. Didn’t you go to school?’ 

But then I remember that I’m supposed to be nice to customers and that means keeping my mouth shut sometimes.

I tell them: There’s very little difference. The inside head unit dimensions are identical, as are the outside units. We use the same size pipes and cables to connect them. Everything looks and weighs about the same. The gas charge is similar, the remote controls are the same. Almost everything but the labels are identical. So what is the difference?

Only Mr Mitsubishi will know the answer to that question. Who knows how the great man works? Is it wise for me to question his wisdom? I don’t want to have a bunch of samurai chasing after me.

Why do you care? That’s what you pay me for. This may surprise you, but its a lot like all the other sizes. Except smaller. We only need a wall in your home that backs onto the outside world. It should have 880mm empty space on this side of it. Once the head unit is mounted we run the pipes and the cables down the other side, covering it all in duct and conduit. We then sit the outside unit on a bracket to keep it up off the ground and fit the pipes off into it. If we’ve done our job correctly, your small air con will cool your bedroom this summer and at least ten more after that. 

You get a five year Mitsubishi Warranty, and we cover our installation for the same period. The system should never need re-gassing. Some customers call up and ask for their air con to be regassed, thinking it’s a bit like a car. The reason cars need regasing regularly is because those pipes are run using rubber to allow for all the vibrations in the car. Permanent fixed air conditioners are piped using copper, so the joins should be gas tight and permanent. If we do our job properly then you won’t need to regas your air con. Not in five years or fifty

MITSUBISHI AVANTI THE MOST RELIABLE SPLIT SYSTEMS

It’s not uncommon for us to pull out a Mitsubishi Heavy Industry split system that’s been in that same spot, running fine for twenty years or more. What other product can you name that is still doing its job – reliably – twenty years from its date of purchase? For that reason we take the time to install them properly. Our installs last the distance.

To your right is a split system installation in progress. The duct is level the bracket is straight, the drain is in place and the pipes are ready to connect. The finished product is strong, durable and functional. If you compare our installs to others, how many others are consistently as good as ours?
