Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 213,000, brand new and sealed, paired with the matching outdoor unit AUW-36H4SD. This ceiling cassette split system carries a 36,000 BTU rating, roughly 10.5 kW or 3 tons of capacity, and runs as a heat pump for both cooling and heating. The Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA sits flush inside a suspended ceiling and pushes conditioned air out through four louvres at once. See it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where our team talks through room sizing before you commit.
Built for large open-plan workplaces, the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA suits boardrooms, banking halls, showrooms and lecture rooms of roughly 60 to 80 square metres. Floor-standing and wall-mounted units eat display space and block notice boards, while a cassette disappears overhead. Banking managers across Upper Hill and Westlands choose cassettes so customer queues and teller counters stay clear. Because the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA throws air in four directions, people at the far end of a boardroom table get airflow too, not only those nearest the unit. That solves a daily complaint for school administrators, church facility managers and showroom owners.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops quote a cassette price and leave you to find an installer, Mascom International arranges professional fitting and confirms the installation cost on WhatsApp before you pay anything. The Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA also sits beside eight other Hisense cassette and floor-standing models in our stock, so we can recommend a smaller or larger unit honestly when your room calls for it. Facility managers across Nairobi tell us the biggest win is reclaimed floor space. Order with pay-on-arrival delivery in all 47 counties, or walk in to see the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA in person.
Common Questions About the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA
Is the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA big enough for a 70 square metre boardroom or banking hall?
Yes, the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA is sized for open rooms of roughly 60 to 80 square metres, so a 70 square metre boardroom sits in the middle of its range. Rooms with west-facing glass, a full meeting of 30 people, or a projector and several screens running all day add heat load. In those cases, aim for the lower end of the range. Send us the room dimensions, window positions and typical headcount on WhatsApp, and Mascom International will confirm the fit before you order.
Does the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA heat as well as cool?
Yes, the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA is a heat pump model, so one remote switches it between cooling and heating modes. In Kenya that matters more than buyers expect. Nairobi, Limuru, Nyeri and Eldoret get cold June and July mornings, and staff in a large banking hall or lecture room feel it before the sun warms the building. Heating mode takes the chill off the first hours of the day, then you switch back to cooling for hot afternoons, with no separate heater to buy or store.
Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA cassette or the AUF-36HR4SCPA floor-standing unit, which should you choose?
Both carry 36,000 BTU of capacity, so choose by room layout, not by power. The AUF-36HR4SCPA floor-standing unit costs KSh 177,000 and needs no suspended ceiling, which suits a rented space you cannot alter. The Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA costs KSh 36,000 more, but it frees the floor and spreads air four ways from the centre of the room. For a showroom, banking hall or boardroom where every metre of floor and wall counts, the cassette earns that difference.
Can one Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA replace two smaller cassettes?
Usually yes, and it costs less. Two AUC-18HR4SAA1 cassettes at KSh 132,000 each total KSh 264,000 for the same 36,000 BTU, so one Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA saves you KSh 51,000. You also fit one outdoor unit instead of two, which means one wall bracket, one drain line and less external clutter. Two smaller units still make sense if the space divides into zones used at different times, such as a hall with a partitioned meeting room at one end.
What does installation of the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA involve, and is it included?
Installation is not included in the KSh 213,000 price, and this unit needs professional fitting. A technician cuts the ceiling opening, hangs the cassette from the slab, runs copper refrigerant pipes and a drain line, mounts the outdoor unit AUW-36H4SD and wires a dedicated power supply. Mascom International can arrange a qualified installer for you. The cost depends on pipe length, ceiling type and building access, so send photos of the site on WhatsApp and we confirm the installation quote before you commit.
How does the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA cope with KPLC power cuts and voltage swings?
Protect the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA with a dedicated circuit breaker and a good voltage protector, because surges after a blackout are the commonest cause of compressor damage in Kenyan buildings. When power returns, give the system a few minutes before switching it back on. If your premises run on a standby generator, ask your electrician to confirm the generator can carry a 36,000 BTU load alongside lights and computers. Mascom International can advise on matching protection when you collect or order the unit.
Who should buy the AUC-36HR4SKA, and who should skip it?
Buy the AUC-36HR4SKA if you manage a 60 to 80 square metre space with a suspended ceiling and want floors and walls kept clear. Skip it for rooms under about 40 square metres, where the AUC-24HR4SJA cassette at KSh 154,000 or the AUC-18HR4SAA1 at KSh 132,000 fits better and costs less. Skip it too if your ceiling cannot be opened, and take the AUF-36HR4SCPA floor-standing unit instead. Halls above 80 square metres are better served by the AUF-48HR4SMPA at 48,000 BTU.
Is the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA worth KSh 213,000 in Kenya?
For a large room with a suspended ceiling, yes. Across a 70 square metre boardroom, KSh 213,000 works out to about KSh 3,043 per square metre, or roughly KSh 5.92 per BTU of capacity. That beats buying two 18,000 BTU cassettes by KSh 51,000. Spread across the 12-month warranty year alone, the unit costs about KSh 584 a day. The real return is space: floor and wall area that a standing unit would occupy stays available for displays, seating or teller counters.
How does the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA handle dust and humidity in Mombasa or Industrial Area?
The Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA uses anti-dust, antibacterial filters that trap fine particles before air returns to the room, which helps in dusty sites along Mombasa Road and in Industrial Area. Those filters slide out from the ceiling panel for rinsing, and regular cleaning keeps airflow strong. In humid coastal towns such as Mombasa and Malindi, the unit pulls moisture out of the air as it cools, so rooms feel less sticky. Condensate drains away through the drain line fitted during installation.
Technical Specifications
Cooling and Heating Performance
- Rated capacity of 36,000 BTU, about 10.5 kW or 3 tons, sized for open rooms of 60 to 80 square metres.
- Heat pump operation provides both cooling and heating from one system, useful during cold Nairobi June and July mornings.
- Four-way air discharge spreads conditioned air across the whole room instead of blowing hard in one direction.
- Automatic louvre swing moves air up and down continuously, reducing cold spots near the unit and warm spots far away.
- Dehumidifying effect while cooling removes moisture from the air, so humid coastal rooms feel fresher and less sticky.
- One unit covers a space that would otherwise need two 18,000 BTU cassettes and two outdoor units.
Capacity Sizing and Running Cost
- At 70 square metres, the KSh 213,000 price equals about KSh 3,043 per square metre conditioned.
- Capacity cost works out near KSh 5.92 per BTU, lower than buying two smaller cassettes for one room.
- Replaces two AUC-18HR4SAA1 cassettes costing KSh 264,000 combined, saving about KSh 51,000 on hardware alone.
- One outdoor unit instead of two cuts installation labour, wall brackets, piping runs and future servicing visits.
- Setting the thermostat a degree or two higher in cooling mode reduces compressor running time and power bills.
- Clean filters keep airflow strong, so the system reaches set temperature faster and runs for shorter periods.
Indoor Cassette Unit
- Indoor model AUC-36HR4SKA mounts inside a suspended ceiling, leaving floor and wall space completely free for use.
- The square decorative panel is the only visible part, sitting flush with ceiling boards for a tidy finish.
- Centre-of-room placement lets air reach all four walls, suiting square boardrooms and wide banking halls.
- Hangs from the ceiling slab on threaded rods, so it never competes with furniture, shelving or display stands.
- Return air enters through the centre grille, passing through the filters before cooling or heating begins.
- Filter grille opens from below, so routine cleaning needs only a stepladder, not ceiling removal.
Outdoor Unit
- Outdoor model AUW-36H4SD houses the compressor and condenser, keeping the noisiest components outside the occupied room.
- Strong copper condenser transfers heat efficiently and holds up well to the daily heat of a rooftop or wall bracket.
- Mounts on a wall bracket, rooftop frame or ground plinth, chosen by your installer to suit building access.
- Needs open space around it for airflow, so avoid enclosed corridors or tight light wells that trap hot exhaust.
- A single outdoor unit serves the whole cassette, reducing visible clutter on the building exterior.
- Placing it in shade where possible reduces the heat it fights, which improves performance on hot afternoons.
Electrical and Refrigerant
- Connects to the indoor cassette through copper refrigerant pipes, sized and brazed on site by a qualified technician.
- Refrigerant comes pre-charged from the factory, and extended pipe runs may need a top-up during installation.
- Requires a dedicated circuit with its own breaker, since a 36,000 BTU system should never share a socket circuit.
- Your installer confirms whether the building supply suits the unit before wiring, avoiding costly rework later.
- A voltage protector between the supply and outdoor unit guards the compressor against surges after KPLC outages.
- Condensate drain line routes water away from the cassette, preventing drips onto ceilings, desks or stock.
Controls and Filtration
- Wireless remote control sets mode, temperature, fan speed and swing from anywhere in the room.
- Mode selection switches between cooling and heating in seconds, so one system handles both cold mornings and warm afternoons.
- Anti-dust filters capture fine particles, which matters in buildings near busy roads and construction sites.
- Antibacterial filter treatment limits microbial growth on the filter surface, supporting cleaner air in shared rooms.
- Washable filters cut running costs, since you rinse and refit them instead of buying replacements.
- Adjustable fan speed lets you run quietly during meetings and boost airflow when a full room heats up.
