Blaupunkt air conditioners in the UK

UK: A new range of air-conditioners carrying the Blaupunkt brand is now available in the UK.

Spearheading the launch of the split and multi-split air conditioning and heat pump system is Lockerbie-based distributor UK Cellar Cooling.

The A++ rated Nitro Smart indoor high-wall unit is available in capacities of 2.5, 3.5 and 5kW. The range includes features you would expect in high specification units including fault detection and error display, auto defrost, timer and remote control. An optional wifi kit allowing control via a smart phone is also available.

The units employ Panasonic compressors and offer low noise levels of between 25 and 38dB(A).

The units are also offered at competitive prices. For instance, UK Cellar Cooling is offering the 3.5kW system at a fully installed price from just £1245+VAT.

UK Cellar Cooling is also offering Blaupunkt MultiBT multi-split outdoor units to supply up to five indoor units.
