A major distribution of split systems purchased in apartments, houses and offices.
2. Let's talk about the price of the air conditioner. It is not always high cost - a sign of high quality. Seek the advice of experts, so as not to overpay only for the "name" of the manufacturer. Less well-known brand can in no way inferior to the more expensive popular counterpart.
3. Pay attention to the installation of the air conditioner: do not order the installation in questionable companies, because the air conditioner efficiency depends on the quality of assembly work during installation.
