FAQs
What cutting-edge technologies are featured in your latest air-conditioning systems for Athens homes and businesses?
Our newest range combines high-efficiency DC inverter compressors, variable-speed fans, and micro-channel heat exchangers to maximize cooling and heating output while using up to 40 % less electricity than conventional units. Integrated air-quality sensors continually monitor VOCs, pollen, and PM2.5 levels, while built-in UV-C LED lamps sterilize the coil surface to inhibit mold and bacteria growth—an especially valuable feature in the warm, humid Athenian climate.
How does inverter technology lower my energy bills during the long Greek summer?
Traditional fixed-speed compressors cycle on/off at full power, causing temperature swings and energy spikes. Inverter compressors modulate their speed between 10 % and 120 % of rated capacity, matching real-time cooling demand. Once the set point is reached, the system ramps down to maintain it with minimal power draw. This smooth operation cuts electricity consumption by up to 30-40 %, reduces compressor wear, and keeps indoor temperatures more stable—crucial when outside readings exceed 35 °C in Athens.
Can I control the new units with my smartphone or smart-home ecosystem?
Yes. All our latest models include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy modules. Using our free iOS/Android app you can power the system on/off, change temperature, adjust fan speed, and monitor energy use from anywhere. The units are also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit for voice commands and automation routines—for example, you can program the AC to switch to Eco mode when you leave the house or to pre-cool just before you return.
Are these high-tech HVAC systems suitable for both cooling and heating during Athens’ mild winters?
Absolutely. Each system is a reversible heat pump capable of efficient heating down to −15 °C outdoor temperature. Using R32 refrigerant and optimized dual-stage compressors, the coefficient of performance (COP) reaches 4.5—meaning you get 4.5 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity consumed. This makes them an energy-saving alternative to oil or resistive electric heaters for the typical 5–15 °C winter range in Athens.
What maintenance is required to keep these advanced units running at peak performance?
We recommend professional servicing twice a year—before the cooling season (April–May) and before the heating season (October). A certified technician will clean or replace filters, inspect the UV-C module, verify refrigerant charge, and run a diagnostic scan via the onboard microcontroller to detect early signs of component wear. Regular maintenance maintains efficiency, extends equipment life, and preserves manufacturer warranty coverage (up to 10 years on compressors).
Do your systems comply with EU environmental regulations and use eco-friendly refrigerants?
Yes. All units meet the latest EU Ecodesign and F-gas Regulation standards. They use R32 refrigerant, which has a global warming potential (GWP) of 675—roughly one-third that of older R410A. The systems are pre-charged in a hermetically sealed circuit to minimize leakage risk, and end-of-life refrigerant recovery is part of our service package to ensure responsible disposal.
