Air conditioners WindAir produces a part of the Korean company Hyundai, which is a separate division and is engaged in the design and manufacture of various climate systems. First of all, the development of the main parent company was aimed at automotive systems.
If the parent company produces a whole range of different climatic equipment, the activities of the subsidiary (windows) are aimed at the production of exclusively domestic air-conditioners.
Using the achievements of a powerful production and research complex of related companies, WindAir was able to introduce to the market equipment that is not inferior to analogues of other well-known brands. In fact, within the framework of a separate project of Windows Air, air conditioners were not developed, but the operating time adapted to the selected market niche.
Production facilities are located in South Korea. There are also research centers and development centers. Products are manufactured using our own technologies. Mostly using their own components. Some parts can be used by an external manufacturer. Usually these are fairly proven manufacturers. It is reported that some nodes are produced in Japanese factories. There is some doubt about this information, since most of the components for air conditioning systems are made by China. But even Chinese production is under tight control. You can be sure that the technique is of guaranteed quality. The quality does not depend on the lots of goods.
Air conditioning WindAir
The range of manufactured air conditioners is small. Since the main manufacturer - the parent company produces almost the entire line of climate technology. The division aims to produce only a certain type of product. The marketing components prevail in the company's activities - development and technology are provided by related companies. The subsidiary currently produces only a small series of WindAir split systems. The series is called Light. The series includes 3 models of air conditioning. The series has been put into production since 2011.
Distinctive features of a series:
- The usual start-stop compressor control circuit;
- Work in 4 standard modes: cooling, heating, ventilation, drainage;
- The area of the served premises is from 20 to 30 sq.m;
- It can be switched on both from the remote control and directly on the unit;
- Self-cleaning system;
- Self-diagnosis system;
- Filter system. Reusable filter, self-cleaning antibacterial filter. Air ionizer;
- Energy Class A.
Theoretically, you can still meet in the sale or operation of the previous series. Since 2007, two series of air conditioners have been produced: more powerful, positioned for use in small offices and a series for home use. Series of household air conditioners 2006. The company's products first appeared in Russia in 2001, but such old models can hardly be bought anywhere else.

Neither the division nor the parent company have specialized centers for the sale of climate and household equipment. Specialized service centers also do not exist, if a malfunction is found, you should contact the usual service for the repair of such equipment or at the place of purchase, subject to the warranty.
WindAir Remote Control and Air Conditioner Instructions
Included is an instruction manual. The manual describes the main features of working with equipment (for example, setting the mode and direction of blowing warm air, setting the operating modes from the remote control for the WindAir air conditioner, etc.). Recommendations are given on installing the air conditioner and initial commissioning.
A set of equipment consists of two units - external and internal. Installing an air conditioner is not recommended on your own. Especially the external unit. It is usually placed outside the building on an external wall. If the height of the building is large, it is best to involve firms that have licenses to carry out work at heights for installation. In addition, the very connection of the blocks with each other and the inclusion in the power supply network has its own characteristics.
The WindAir manual also contains instructions for the remote control. Since the equipment is adapted for the average price niche, navigation through the menu items does not cause any special difficulties. Their very limited number and all modes are intuitive.
Error codes for air conditioners WindAir
The error codes are standardized and match the error codes for Hyundai climate technology. The self-diagnosis system is quite simple. In case of detection of malfunctions, their encoding is displayed on the remote control screen and is duplicated on the indicator on the internal unit of the device.
If errors occur, it is recommended that you turn off the equipment and restart it. The best way would be to completely de-energize - turn off the circuit breaker in the power switch (usually air conditioners are connected to power via a separate group of automatic fuses). Wait a few minutes until the transients end and then turn on the system again. If, in this case, the malfunction continues to be displayed, it is recommended to consult a specialist.
The fact is that the technique is complex and various malfunctions are possible, because of which the control system can produce false errors. And independent troubleshooting can lead to a more serious breakdown and subsequent costly repair of equipment, or even the inappropriateness of its repair.
User reviews
Product reviews are not many. This is due to the fact that the equipment is not very well represented on the domestic market. Negative reviews are not found. Slow operation, good design, quality of materials and assembly as a whole for the presented price category are noted.
Some users note good cooling speed and ease of remote control.
At the same time, the equipment of this company is no different from similar equipment of comparable competitors - neither in terms of price, nor in terms of quality and other characteristics. Against the background of many similar products and taking into account minor deliveries, the equipment of this company is simply not very noticeable. You can meet him not so often.
