This technology is up to 300% more efficient than electrical heating, so you can further
reduce its running cost. Now, meet year-round needs with one air conditioner.

• Flexible installation

Duct type air conditioner is designed to be slimmer and offers different solutions for any
shape room allowing for specific air flow requirements. Also, the air intake can be set up on
either the bottom or rear of the unit, so there is more flexibility in installation.
