Air Conditioners

Hadjikyriakos is one of Cyprus’s most trusted destinations for air conditioners, with branches across Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos, as well as a full range available online at hadjikyriakos.com.cy. The selection covers wall-mounted inverter models, split systems and portable units from brands including Nobu, LG, Toshiba and Inventor, with after-sales support on every purchase.

The most common types available are wall-mounted split air conditioners, which consist of an indoor and outdoor unit and portable air conditioners, which require no installation. Inverter models are the most widely recommended for residential and office use due to their energy efficiency.

An inverter air conditioner uses a variable-speed compressor that adjusts its output continuously based on the room’s temperature requirements. Unlike fixed-speed models that cycle on and off, inverter air conditioning maintains a stable temperature with far less energy consumption. This makes inverter air conditioners significantly more cost-effective over time, particularly in a climate like Cyprus where units run for extended periods.

Most modern split air conditioners function as heat pumps, meaning they can reverse the refrigerant cycle to extract heat from outdoor air and transfer it indoors. This heating mode is highly energy-efficient, typically producing three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. Wall-mounted inverter models with heat pump capability are well suited to Cyprus winters.

BTU capacity should be matched to room size. As a general guide, 9,000 BTU suits rooms up to approximately 20 square metres; 12,000 BTU covers up to 30 square metres; 18,000 BTU is appropriate for spaces up to 50 square metres; and 24,000 BTU handles larger rooms or open-plan areas. Room insulation, ceiling height and sun exposure also influence the required capacity.

EU energy ratings for air conditioners reflect the unit’s seasonal energy efficiency ratio for cooling and heating. A++ and A+++ rated models consume significantly less electricity than lower-rated units, reducing running costs over time. Given that air conditioning in Cyprus operates for many months each year, selecting a high energy efficiency class delivers meaningful long-term savings on electricity bills.

Installation cost depends on the size of the air conditioner. It varies from €100 to €150.

Smart air conditioning features to consider include Wi-Fi connectivity for smartphone control, scheduling functions, energy consumption monitoring, self-cleaning modes and compatibility with voice assistants such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
