How long is the lifespan of your air conditioners?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average lifespan of air conditioning units, with proper maintenance and use, is approximately 15–20 years.
At Toshiba, we have customers who own our air conditioners that are more than 25 years old.
Toshiba air conditioners are designed in such a way as to last as long as possible over time. This is also part of the sustainable development philosophy that defines us. That is why we continuously invest in creating technologies that increase their lifespan, such as the advanced self-cleaning system and MagicCoil®, the high anti-corrosion protection of the outdoor units, the protection of the electronic control board against high voltage up to 10,000V, and many more.
Is it true that the world’s first Inverter air conditioner was Toshiba?
It is true, and we are truly proud of it. In fact, our first Inverter air conditioner was created as early as 1981, at a time when energy saving was not yet a priority for many. For us, however, sustainable development has always been a core principle, as deeply rooted in all our activities as our DNA itself.
What is the Digital DC Twin Rotary Inverter compressor?
It is our latest technological achievement.
The Digital DC Twin Rotary Inverter compressor ensures more stable rotation speed and reduces any unwanted vibration. Its results are unique:
Increased efficiency. The compressor offers particularly high performance at low rotation speeds and during long periods of operation under stable conditions.
Energy savings. Thanks to the asymmetrical rotation of two cylinders, the compressor delivers significant energy savings along with very powerful and reliable operation.
High reliability and low noise level. Stable performance with minimal friction losses. The ideal solution for noise-sensitive applications. The noise of the outdoor unit during operation is almost imperceptible, while at the same time the compressor’s lifespan is doubled.
Do Toshiba air conditioners operate with R32?
From the 2019 production year onwards, all Toshiba wall-mounted air conditioning units operate with R32 refrigerant.
Models from previous years, which may still be available on the market today, operate with R410A.
Where are Toshiba air conditioning units designed?
Toshiba air conditioning products are designed at the Toshiba Group headquarters in Kawasaki-shi, Japan. They then proceed to the production stage, which takes place in various parts of the world where the Group maintains manufacturing facilities, such as Japan and Thailand.
In January 2020, the Group also announced the creation of a new production facility in Gniezno, Poland.
