Since 2002, this AC manufacturer is a relatively new player in the AC industry, however, you wouldn’t guess it by the quality of their units. Here at Air Conditioners Rated, we’re all big fans of NewAir’s work, often breaking new ground, and challenging the long-standing established norms enforced by several older manufacturers. NewAir and other relatively new HVAC related companies are breathing fresh air into the market through their innovative and refreshing ideas. Therefore, it seemed only right that we have our expert team of HVAC analysts compiles a comprehensive buyers guide over a moderate range of NewAir’s rapidly expanding catalog of quality units. Check out what NewAir has to offer by continuing reading our NewAir air conditioner review below.

NewAir Air Conditioner Review

Before we begin, to prevent confusion we would like to explain that while this is an air conditioner review list, two of the products on this list are what are known as “Swamp Coolers”. Basically another type of air conditioner, the swamp cooler will also introduce moisture into the air, making it suitable for very dry environments. Through the evaporation of water, a natural cooling effect is felt.

 

NewAir AC-12200E

Providing up to 12,000 BTUs of cooling power, the NewAir AC-12200E is capable of servicing areas of up to an estimated range of 425 square feet, making this unit perfectly suited for installation in medium-large living spaces. In addition to this appliance’s excellent cooling performance, the NewAir AC-12200E will also remove up to 4.86 pints of moisture from the air per hour, allowing it to double as an ultra-effective dehumidifier, with a maximum airflow of 220.7CFM.

 

Efficiency & Certifications

While we were unable to uncover the Energy Efficiency Ratio of the NewAir AC-12200E, we conducted some research into the efficiency of this unit and found that there were no reported cases of this unit causing a significant increase to energy bills, implying that this unit will operate quite efficiently.

While admittedly limited in its range of operational modes and functions, it’s clear that NewAir designed this product with user convenience in mind, with features such as the Auto Evaporative System saving the user from having to repeatedly empty the unit of moisture. That being said, it is recommended that you set up this unit’s drainage hose for continuous operation.

Further, with a maximum airflow of 259CFM, this unit will effectively remove up to 60 pints of moisture from the air each day.

While NewAir may be relatively new to the industry when compared to some of the other powerhouse brands, they surely aren’t interested in wasting time when it comes to climbing the manufacturer rankings.

 

NewAir AF-310

While this unit is not an air conditioner in the sense of the other units we have discussed so far in our NewAir Air Conditioner Review, the NewAir AF-310 swamp cooler is certainly one to consider if you struggle with dry, arid Summers. and want to introduce more moisture into your living space. With a maximum airflow of 312.37CFM, this unit will effectively cater to a living space of up to 100 square feet, ideally in environments with under 60% humidity.

As swamp coolers go, the NewAir AF-310 is certainly one of the most efficient. For those unfamiliar with this class of HVAC product, in simple terms, a swamp cooler will provide cooling to your home via the method of evaporating moisture into the air. This is most useful in dry, desert climates, where dry air can have several health-compromising consequences.
