Hitachi Air Conditioning Units

Hitachi units basically come in three different designs being Hitachi S-Series Wall Mounted, Hitachi Summit and Hitachi Monoduct.

Three Designs Explored

1. Hitachi Monoduct - This is their newest type of unit. It is an in-the-ceiling style and it is ideal for commercial and residential use. The Hitachi Monoduct air conditioners are equipped with DC Inverter PAM control. This drives compressors and fans, allowing air intake to change between horizontal and vertical. They also remove accumulated condensation automatically with their built in drain pump. Hitachi wanted to make sure that you weren't wasting any energy with this feature so they installed electronic sensors that monitor the water level so the pump only runs when it is needed. The Monoduct range also has a 12-hour timer and a hard wired remote control.

2. Hitachi Summit - These cost-effective units are known for being some of the most energy efficient on the market. Hitachi Summit features an A/A energy rating and it is virtually silent with a 20 dB noise level. They are incredibly stylish, safe and allow you to program them for a full week at a time with their infra red remote control. These air conditioners are voted as providing better air quality than most other competitors. They are equipped with a carbon air purifying filter that is washable so trapped micro-dust, dander, odors and fine particles can be easily washed away. The filters can be washed up to 20 times however, you will have to buy a new one beyond this to ensure air quality in your home maintains the highest standards.

3. Hitachi S-Series Wall Mounted - These air conditioners are by far the most popular ones that Hitachi sells. They offer less expensive models as low as 1.8kW up to more powerful units at 4.2kW. One of the reasons that these air conditioners are so appreciated is because they generate mist that has been ionized from the air currently in the room which eliminates the need for a water supply. The S-Series evaporates odors and destroys bacteria but they are not self-cleaning so you will need to use one of the six available cleaning functions to keep the unit clean. These Hitachi air conditioning units are extremely quiet, energy efficient and available in an elegant metallic finish that you will need to wipe clean often to keep them from looking dirty.
