BTU, or Btu, stands for British Thermal Unit. It is the amount of energy required to cool or heat 1 pound of water by 1°F. Btu/h is the unit of power used in the HVAC industry. It is equivalent to approximately 0.29 watts.

COP stands for Coefficient of Performance. It is the ratio between the cooling or heating provided and the electrical energy consumed.

It is a measure of the amount of air per unit of time that passes through the device. It is measured either in CFM (cubic feet per minute) or m³/h (cubic metres per hour).

A measure of the amount of water per unit of time that the machine is capable of extracting from the ambient air. It is measured in L/h (litres per hour).

EER stands for Energy Efficiency Rating. It measures the ratio of output power to input power.

HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. It is the ratio between seasonal heating output and the electricity used.

HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. It is the ratio between seasonal heating output and the electricity used.

Refrigerant is the substance used to “transfer” heat outside (or inside) the room where the unit is located. We use R-410A refrigerant because it is environmentally friendly and allows for the design of smaller, more efficient systems compared with, for example, R-22 refrigerant.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is the ratio between the cooling output during the season and the electricity used.
