Mitsubishi Electric
Mitsubishi Electric Starmex Inverter air-conditioning systems are extremely popular in Japan. They have the most energy-efficient systems and have been awarded 5 NEA ticks for all their multi-split aircon systems. This means that in the long-run, the energy efficiency will help save a ton on electricity bills especially if you are a heavy user of air-conditioning.
One of Mitsubishi Electric Starmex’s key features is its EasyClean system, which makes it simple for homeowners to wipe down any dust and clean the air-conditioner easily. With such easily accessible features for cleaning, it makes it convenient for maintenance which helps to ensure optimal operating efficiency. After all, if the aircon is dusty, it takes more energy for it to cool the room.
Another key feature that owners of Mitsubishi Electric Starmex really enjoy is the low noise level of its operating system. With a low noise level of 19dB (softer than the sounds of leaves rustling), families with children or light sleepers will enjoy a quiet night’s sleep with the comfort of cool air to maximize quality sleep time.
