The best air conditioners with heating down to -25°C

The 2024 debutant from the Neoclima brand is a split system that is ready for both extreme heat and severe frost. It is stated that it can work for cooling at outdoor temperatures up to +50 °C, and for heating - in cold weather down to -23 °C.

Neoclima Gulfstream NS-09EGSIw1eu/NU-09EGSIw1eu is equipped with a Toshiba inverter compressor. It allows you to count not only on more precise temperature control and increased energy efficiency, but also on high overall reliability of the air conditioner.

The model belongs to the “nines” (effective power is 9000 BTU) and is suitable for rooms up to 26 m². Thanks to the night mode, it can be very comfortable in terms of noise (up to 22 dB).

The ionization function can provide a fresh effect in the room. And to combat pollution and unpleasant odors in the air, a multi-level cleaning system is provided. It includes over 10 filters, including formaldehyde, carbon, catechin, plasma, coarse and fine filters, allergens, fungi and bacteria, as well as HEPA and a UV lamp.

The indoor unit is not made in the most common color - black, but is quite familiarly complemented by a hidden display. To interact with the air conditioner , the I Feel remote control is offered - with a built-in temperature sensor. Optionally, remote control is also supported (but the Wi-Fi module must be purchased separately). Other features include a timer, auto-restart, self-diagnosis and self-cleaning.

Neoclima Gulfstream NS-09EGSIw1eu/NU-09EGSIw1eu is an interesting split system with a wide range of operating temperatures and a very affordable price tag.

The Gree brand split system is the junior representative of the Amber line, which is designed for use in rooms up to 27 square meters. The model, like most modern analogues, runs on environmentally friendly R32 freon.

Gree Amber GWH09YD-S6DBA2A is equipped with an inverter compressor, which makes the device as quiet as possible (in night mode, the external unit “generates” up to 18 dB of noise) and economical. So, for example, in the summer it will consume about 550 W per hour of operation with a thermal power of 2.7 kW (EER coefficient 4.9, and energy efficiency A+++).

The air conditioner has all the typical operating modes, including dehumidification and ventilation. It can cool the air even in extreme heat outside - up to +54 °C. It is ready to work for heating in cold weather down to -30 °C, which covers the most unforeseen weather whims of the winter season with a margin.

To purify the air and combat dust, the Cold Plazma system is provided - a plasma electrostatic filter, which should also resist the appearance of pathogens in the room. The standby heating mode deserves special mention. It will allow you to maintain the room temperature at least +8 °C, preventing freezing and damage to equipment, communications, etc.

To control the split system, a remote control with a display is offered, which, among other things, allows you to easily set the timer and control air flows not only horizontally, but also vertically. Additional bonuses include auto-restart, readiness to start at low voltage (up to 198 V), self-diagnosis and cleaning options.

If you want an economical, quiet and weather-ready air conditioner, then Gree Amber GWH09YD-S6DBA2A is definitely worth a closer look.

One of the features of the mid-budget Midea air conditioner can be considered convenient control. So, the indoor unit has a hidden display, and also offers an I Feel (aka Follow Me) remote control. The latter is equipped with a temperature sensor and will focus on temperature values near the user when operating.

In addition, Midea Nordic MSAGN-09FN8-I/MSAGN-09FN8-O optionally allows you to connect a Wi-Fi module for remote control from a smartphone.

The split system is designed for use in rooms up to 26 m². Here it can provide coolness when it is really very hot outside (up to 50 °C). The model also supports heating operation, even when the thermometer drops to -28 °C. By the way, the model belongs to the X-Treme Nordic series, which means that when it’s cold, the heating of the compressor and the pan of the external unit is activated by default for trouble-free operation of the equipment.

Additional options include 2-level air filtration ( charcoal + fine filter), standby heating function, night mode (noise no more than moderate 24 dB), self-diagnosis and auto-restart.

The model runs on ozone-friendly refrigerant R32. And another advantage is the inverter compressor manufactured by Toshiba (GMCC). It makes it possible to regulate the power of the split system, ensures more accurate temperature maintenance and is characterized by high energy efficiency (class A+++ in cooling mode).

Midea Nordic MSAGN-09FN8-I/MSAGN-09FN8-O is a noteworthy air conditioner that can compete with products from trusted brands.

The split system of the Nordic line from Cooper&Hunter is positioned as a domestic heat pump. It belongs to the “nines” (recommended for rooms with an area of 26 m²) and is adapted for heating in temperatures down to -28 °C. The model can also cool the air in extreme heat outside the window (maximum 52 °C).

Cooper&Hunter Nordic Premium CH-S09FTXN-P was equipped with an inverter compressor from Japan - from Mitsubishi Electric, one of the world market leaders. Thanks to this unit, the device is reliable, economical (both for cooling and heating corresponds to class A+++) and can be very quiet(no more than 18 dB in night mode).

A plasma filter is responsible for cleaning the air (including getting rid of dust), which also allows you to use the ionization option. There is also standby heating, a timer, self-cleaning and “smart” fault diagnosis.

It is possible to direct air flows not only higher or lower: for example, from the remote control you can adjust the position of the blinds vertically, that is, to the left or to the right. In addition, the possibility of remote access via Wi-Fi (interaction with a mobile application) is implemented. And the main remote control belongs to the I Feel category: it has a temperature sensor to maintain an optimal microclimate near the user.

Cooper&Hunter Nordic Premium CH-S09FTXN-P is a balanced solution with high-quality components (primarily a Japanese compressor) and an abundance of functions.

A representative of the Deluxe Zubadan line from Mitsubishi Electric, this is an advanced class home split system. This status is confirmed, among other things, by the stylish, laconic design of the indoor unit with flexible adjustment of air flow (there is a drive for both horizontal and vertical blinds).

Another feature of the Mitsubishi Electric Deluxe MSZ-FT25VGK/MUZ-FT25VGHZ is a high-quality branded inverter compressor (Zubadan). Essentially, it turns the air conditioner into a heat pump, that is, it provides effective heating even in severe frosts down to -25 °C.

The split system is designed to operate in rooms of 25 m² and is notable for its low electricity consumption. Thus, the energy efficiency class for cooling is rated A+++, and for heating - A++, while the thermal power can reach 2500 W and 3200 W, respectively. In a special night mode, the model will not interfere with sleep, because the noise will not exceed 19 dB.

The air conditioner has a 4-level air purification system. An antibacterial filter should eliminate pathogenic organisms, and a carbon filter should eliminate unpleasant odors. In addition, there is a Plasma Quad system that can “nail” dust. And another element of fine cleaning is the HEPA filter.

You can set a comfortable temperature in the room, set a timer, perform self-diagnosis or use other functions both from the remote control (and this is an I Feel accessory - with a temperature sensor) and from a smartphone (there is a Wi-Fi module).

The downside of the model is its high price compared to its main competitors. But for the Japanese quality and good functionality of the Mitsubishi Electric Deluxe MSZ-FT25VGK/MUZ-FT25VGHZ, demanding users are definitely worth paying extra.
