Split Air Conditioner

Every room in your home is unique. Our range of room air conditioners will help you create comfortable spaces while improving indoor air quality.

Hitachi's 4-way Cassette Air Conditioner - Innovative Solution for Discrete and Precise Airflow

In 1983, Hitachi invented the 4-way cassette air conditioning unit, which is an innovative solution for clients who want a visually discrete AC system where a ceiling plenum is available.

For home users, Hitachi's 4-way cassettes are an excellent option for minimizing the visual impact of an AC unit without incurring the cost of installing ducted units. Today's models deliver precise airflow in all four directions and feature optional occupant sensing technology, which automatically saves energy if a room is empty.

ACs that can now clean itself

Over time dust and dirt can build up in your AC, reducing the amount of air that can flow through it and making it less powerful over time. With the Hitachi FrostWashTM self-cleaning technology, AC maintenance is made simple.

Hitachi FrostWashTM, available on many of our models, maintains your AC performance for years to come by freezing dust and dirt, melting it and washing it away. ACs with FrostWash are proven to be 3X better at maintaining air flow performance than those without this technology[5].

Advanced engineering in our range of single room ACs

Hitachi Heating and Cooling has a rich engineering history in the innovation of AC compressors, a critical component powering all ACs. Back in 1983, we were the world’s first AC manufacturer to use a brushless DC motor compressor.

Today, we continue to evolve the application of DC motor compressors, creating a complete DC power system which reduces unnecessary power waste, lowers operating vibration and therefore noise for users.
