The ductless air conditioner is an innovative solution to the issue of having to install large air ducts in a property, which can often be quite expensive, and complex. Instead, the ductless mini split consists of two components, an outdoor condenser unit, and an indoor air handler. However, as the name would suggest, these components are not connected by ducts, but rather by wires and refrigerant tubing. Today we’re going to be taking a look at one such system, the Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner. Providing a jaw-dropping amount of cooling power, alongside an admirable range of convenient features, this unit is certainly one to consider if you’ve got a large space in need of cooling.

Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner Review

The Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner is truly a force to be reckoned with. Boasting a formidable amount of cooling power, with an admirable amount of convenient features to make operation more user-friendly, this unit is definitely one to consider for a large space. That being said, efficiency does suffer slightly with this unit, however, this is the case with many units of this caliber, and so this unfortunate aspect of this system should not be treated as an issue unique to the Okyotech 36,000. Check out our full review below for a detailed account of all the pros and cons you need to be aware of before investing in this exceptional product.

Cooling Performance

With a formidable 36,000 BTUs of cooling power under the bonnet, the Okyotech 36,000 Air conditioner is capable of servicing an extensive 1,800 square feet of space. Additionally, this one unit is capable of providing heating, ventilation, and dehumidifying services, making it the ideal 4-in-1 product for a large space.

Efficiency / Certifications

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of an air conditioner is a reliable indicator of exactly how efficiently a unit can be expected to operate. Unfortunately, the Okyotech 36,000 Air conditioner falls slightly behind its competition in this regard, with a SEER rating of 14. This means that this AC system stands only slightly above the legal minimum efficiency requirements implemented by the United States government back in 2015. However, this should not be interpreted in an all-bad light, as this unit is still significantly more efficient than units introduced to the market as soon as ten years ago, so if you’re working with a dated unit, replacing it with the Okyotech 36,000 air conditioner is still a noticeable upgrade.

On certifications, this unit has been ETL certified, which essentially guarantees that this product meets North American product standards. As far as certifications go, the ETL certification is a prestigious accomplishment that should not be taken lightly.

Convenience

While it should be commonly understood that the performance and efficiency of a unit should be of paramount importance when considering an air conditioner, convenient features serve as the cherry on top, to make a unit that much sweeter. In the case of the Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner, the system comes with a full-function digital wireless remote control, allowing the user to operate their air conditioning system from anywhere in the room, a feature that is never more appreciated than when in the clammy depths of the sweltering summer months. In addition to this, Okyotech has made sure to include one of our favorite features in this air conditioning system; a sleep mode. What sleep mode essentially allows the unit to do is gradually raise temperatures throughout the night, whilst maintaining a comfortable environment. The result of this function is the consumption of less energy, thus saving you money on bills. As an added bonus of not running your air conditioner on full capacity through the night, with sleep mode, you needn’t worry about waking up to an over-cooled home. Finally, one of the most notable features included in this systems final design, is the 24-hour programmable timer. This essentially allows the user to input a timetable of operation into their air conditioning unit, which is exceptionally useful if you spend extended periods of time out of the home.

Design

When discussing the design of the Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner, you have to acknowledge the elephant in the room; the built-in ionizer. This piece of equipment has fallen under a lot of criticism in recent years, as earlier ionizers have been shown to leave traces of Ozone in the air, which have been known to cause respiratory conditions. However, later models of ionizers have been refined to the point where the health concerns voiced by some are usually invalid. Additionally, there are beneficial health-affecting aspects to installing a unit with an ionizer, the obvious one being its ability to remove airborne pollutants, cleaning the air and making it healthier to breathe in each day. Furthering this unit’s beneficial effects on the air is an anti-bacterial nano-meter silver filter, which takes this unit’s ability to remove airborne particulates that the extra mile. Finally, a 16 ft. The flared copper line set connects the two components of this system.

Before purchasing this system, do note that it is by no means light. Weighing in at 150lbs, it goes without saying that a professional contractor is required for the installation of this device. We strongly advise you to not attempt installing this system by yourself, as, while ductless split systems may be easier to install than their ducted counterparts, it is possible to botch the job, which will cost a hefty sum of money to remedy, and often forfeit your warranty coverage.

Help & Support

The warranty coverage plan of the Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner covers the compressor for a total of 5-years, and the unit itself for 3-years. This kind f warranty plan is slightly above the average that we would expect for a split system air conditioner. However, considering the impressive output of this particular system, we would have appreciated a larger warranty plan, however, we cannot fault Okyotech for matching an industry standard.

As far as customer support is concerned, Okyotech has a team of experienced customer service agents, ready and willing to help you through any issues you might encounter with this unit. These representatives are contactable via live chat, telephone, email, or through an online contact form located on the company’s official website. There are additionally numerous informative resources such as warranty documents and installation guides available on the Okyotech official website.

Verdict

To sum up our review of the Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner, this split system is definitely not messing around when it comes to pumping out sheer cooling power. It bears noting that this unit certainly carries our seal of approval, however, this only applies for its installation in a large living space. It is important that you select the right unit for you, and your unique living environment, and you would not be doing yourself any favors by purchasing a unit that is too powerful, as it will negatively affect the dehumidifying capabilities and the efficiency of your air conditioning system.

The Okyotech 36,000 Air Conditioner excels in almost every category our review team threw at it. With advanced technology integrated into this system’s final design and a wide range of convenient features, all combined with its substantial amount of cooling power, it truly is difficult to fault this product. However, as is, unfortunately, the case with many high-powered air conditioners on the market, by purchasing the Okyotech 36,000, you will be making a slight efficiency sacrifice.
