Main series of air conditioners
Niagara Smart (or T-Series)
Air conditioners have 12 standard and 6 additional distinctive features. It works only in cooling mode, there is no room heating function. This model is the most affordable, suitable for rooms with high traffic or where it is difficult to ensure frequent filter changes.
The following models also have two additional options:
- Light wave - the technology for eliminating bacteria (99.43%) is achieved due to the operation of the light wave generator built into the evaporator. It destroys harmful microorganisms inside the evaporator, turning them into CO2 and H2O. The evaporator itself has a gold coating, which creates an additional barrier to the emergence of bacteria.
- Low external temperature - the outdoor unit can also cool at a low temperature outside the window.
Niagara Galaxy (G-series)
The use of heating is especially justified in the autumn or spring, when it is not possible to use central heating. Compared to using an oil cooler, the air conditioner turned on for heating will consume 2.5-3 times less electricity.

Niagara Lux (S-series)
Design of a stylish indoor unit was done by designers of French and American origin. The color scheme is represented by shades of champagne, burgundy, silver and white. Also, if necessary, additional filters for air purification can be built into the indoor unit of the model.
Niagara Excellent (M-series)
The top model was enjoyed by interior designers. Mirror black panel of the indoor unit will emphasize the excellent style of the owner and decorate any room. Excellent, unlike its counterparts, is equipped with additional “bonuses”: a smoke and gas contamination sensor.
Niagara Lux Inverter (D-series)
If energy saving is one of the key factors when choosing an air conditioner, you should take a closer look at models with an inverter in the Lux case. The lineup is represented by three capacities: 9, 12, 18 power units.
Distinctive features
- Improved heat transfer of copper tubes (corrugated). In these models, heat transfer is 30-35% higher compared to other splits.
- Ventilation with three ventilation speeds.
- Maintaining an optimal level of room humidity.
- The complex operation of various filters (dust, coal, plasma) cleans the air of smoke, pollen, unpleasant odors, and also neutralizes harmful chemical elements in the air.
