Manufacturer Centek is a company that produces household appliances for the home. Despite the great competition in the market, developers confidently occupy leading positions. Budget pricing and excellent quality, which are combined in products, are attracting more and more customers. The company mainly focuses on cooperation with sellers in the regions. The segment of the company's products is diverse, from hair dryers to vacuum cleaners, but most of them are air conditioners and split systems. High build quality and interesting design make them recognizable on store windows, and the details of well-known brands give a guarantee for long-term operation.

Main product lines

Despite the fact that Centek is a young company in the Russian Federation, it immediately established itself as a reliable manufacturer. A variety of products and low price attract buyers. The company catalog contains both wall and floor-ceiling split systems. Also available are cassette-type split systems. All product lines differ from their analogues in low noise and low energy consumption.

Centek wall splits include Toshiba compressors. And floor-to-ceiling and cassette - Panasonic compressors.

To all split systems, manufacturers have created a single remote control, convenient to use. The only exception is the new product line, to which the company has released another, excellent in design, remote control. Due to its price and versatility, Centek split systems are popular. A well-known brand compressor makes them even more popular.

Until recently, there were three series of wall systems Centek CT-52XX, CT-58XX and CT-59XX, floor and ceiling CT-51XX and cassette systems CT-53XX. In 2017, the company released a new line of Centek CT-54XX wall-mounted climate technology and several new CT-59XX units. An updated series of Centek CT-53XX cassette systems was also released. Each model of a single series is designed for a different area. Therefore, they can be installed both in residential and industrial premises.

All air conditioners use environmentally friendly R410A refrigerant. Moreover, all devices differ from analogues of other manufacturers in their sizes. Thanks to their compact dimensions and attractive design, they look harmonious in any interior. A convenient LED display makes use easy and comfortable.

Wall mounted

There are several series of such split systems, namely: Centek CT-52XX, CT-58XX, CT-59XX and CT-54XX.

One of the main distinguishing features of all air conditioners is the presence of a compressor of the well-known Japanese brand Toshiba in them. All presented models are created by modern design, which distinguishes them from the products of competitors in the market. All series except CT-59XX are non-inverter.

Despite the high performance, all devices have a low noise level. This ensures comfortable use even during your vacation or work.

The CT-59XX innovations have an inverter in them, and also enrich the air with silver ions during operation. This kills bacteria in the air and controls their growth, which will protect you and your health. The next new series, CT-54XX, adds a comfortable sleep feature. With its help, the air conditioner itself will choose the most comfortable temperature, which will depend on the operating mode. Moreover, in models of this series automatic restart is provided.It will protect your device in case of a sudden power outage.

Floor and ceiling

The company has only one line of such systems - CT-51XX. Floor and ceiling split systems of this series have a standard set of modes for the manufacturer. The mode of ventilation, heating, cooling, night, automatic and self-diagnosis. There is also a dehumidification function. Designed models for an area of ​​100 to 180 square meters. The design of these splits is semi-industrial. Despite this, all devices work as quietly as possible and do not cause discomfort.

Unlike the wall, in the models of this type, a compressor of another well-known brand is integrated - SANYO. Thanks to this, the systems function without interruption even during power surges. Although there is no display in the devices of this line, a remote control is provided in the configuration. Therefore, no difficulties in use will arise.

Cassette

The design of such air conditioners is semi-industrial, which excludes the possibility of installing such devices in residential premises. These models are single phase. They also have a Toshiba and Panasonic brand compressor. Low energy consumption with high performance distinguishes splits of this series from a large number of analogues. They also have an automatic restart function in case of a power outage. The power saving mode will reduce costs by almost 50%.

Comparison of key features

Although the models of each series are similar in appearance, their specifications are slightly different. Models 5207 and 5209 have superior technology against ice formation in the system. Centek CT-5809, among its advantages, has a system for controlling the direction of air flow.

Most Centek models have identical dimensions. All three models in the table are single-phase and non-inverter. Also, these devices are equipped with a timer that allows you to turn the system on and off after a specified time. Each of the products is easy to turn on by pressing the corresponding button on the remote control.

Repairing a Centec air conditioner is inexpensive, so if you encounter problems, you should immediately contact a specialist. The cost of installing the system depends on the seller, but, as a rule, buyers also do not give a lot of money for it. To avoid additional costs, it is worth remembering the basic rule: during operation of the air conditioner, all windows in the room must be closed. This will eliminate the overheating of the air conditioner and extend its performance.
