Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 177,000, brand new and sealed, paired with the matching AUW-36HT4SD outdoor unit. This floor standing split system carries 36,000 BTU of capacity, roughly 10.5 kW or 3 tons, and runs as a heat pump. That means the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA cools on hot days and warms the room when the weather turns. One cabinet can replace two or three smaller wall units, so a single remote controls the whole room. Visit us at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for large rooms that fill up on a schedule, the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA suits churches, function and wedding halls, school dining halls and hotel conference rooms of about 60 to 80 square metres. Hospitality managers and facilities officers face two problems in the same building. June to August mornings in Nyeri, Eldoret and Limuru leave a hall cold for the 8:00 AM service or breakfast sitting. By 2:00 PM, a packed room of guests turns stuffy. One unit in heat mode at dawn and cool mode after lunch handles both without a second appliance.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell an air conditioner and leave the rest to you, Mascom International helps you size the room, plan the installation and choose between floor and ceiling formats. The Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA stands on the floor, so no false ceiling is needed and servicing happens at arm's height. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us that a single tall cabinet unit is easier to explain to a church committee or school board than ceiling work. Order the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery, or walk into our Kimathi Street store to discuss your hall.
Common Questions About the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA
Is the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA big enough for a church or function hall?
The Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA suits halls of roughly 60 to 80 square metres, such as a small church, a hotel conference room or a school dining hall. At 70 square metres that works out to about 514 BTU per square metre. Ceiling height, west-facing glass and crowd size all change the figure. A hall that seats 150 people on Sunday produces far more body heat than an empty room, so share your measurements on WhatsApp and Mascom International will confirm the fit.
Does the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA heat as well as cool?
Yes, the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA is a heat pump, so it warms a room as well as cooling it. The H in the model code marks this heating function. In heat mode the outdoor unit draws warmth from outside air and moves it indoors. That suits chilly Kenyan highland mornings between June and August, when early services, weddings and staff breakfasts start before the sun has warmed the building. Switch to cool mode once the afternoon heat builds, using the same remote.
Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA vs the AUC-36HR4SKA cassette, which should I buy?
The Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA costs KSh 177,000, which is KSh 36,000 less than the AUC-36HR4SKA cassette at KSh 213,000 for the same 36,000 BTU. The cassette hides in the ceiling and spreads air four ways, which suits a finished hotel ballroom. The floor standing unit needs no ceiling cut-out and services at floor level. Choose the floor unit for churches, halls with exposed roof trusses, or rented premises where ceiling work is not allowed. Mascom International stocks both models.
Can the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA be moved if our church or hall relocates?
Yes, the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA can be relocated, because the floor standing cabinet needs no ceiling cut-outs or wall brackets. A qualified technician pumps the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit, disconnects the copper pipes, and reconnects both units at the new site. Budget for fresh pipe insulation and possibly extra pipe length. Mascom International can link you with an installer for the move, so a congregation renting temporary premises keeps its investment when the lease ends.
How does the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA cope with KPLC power cuts and voltage dips?
The Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA should run on its own dedicated circuit with a voltage protector, which Mascom International recommends for every large air conditioner in Kenya. KPLC supply in many towns dips and surges, especially when a storm hits. A protector delays restart after power returns, shielding the compressor from a damaging surge. If your hall runs on a generator during services or receptions, tell our team its rating so we can check it supports the unit's starting load.
Does Mascom International install the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA?
The Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA needs professional installation, and Mascom International can arrange a qualified technician for you. Installation involves placing the indoor cabinet, mounting the AUW-36HT4SD outdoor unit, running copper piping and a drain line, then testing both modes. Cost depends on pipe length, wall type and access height, so it is quoted separately. Send photos and measurements of the room on WhatsApp to confirm the installation cost before you order.
Is the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA worth KSh 177,000 in Kenya?
For a large hall that needs both warming and cooling, the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA is good value at KSh 177,000 from Mascom International. Buying one heat pump avoids a separate set of fan heaters for cold months, along with their extra sockets and cables. Hisense also keeps a strong dealer and spare parts presence across Kenya. That matters for a church or school that wants the same unit working reliably for many years of weekly events.
How often does the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA need servicing?
Clean the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA filters every two to four weeks in a busy hall, and book a full technician service every three to six months. Halls near dusty stretches like Thika Road or murram parking lots clog filters faster. Because the cabinet stands on the floor, a caretaker can slide the filters out, rinse them and refit them without a ladder. Regular cleaning keeps airflow strong in both heating and cooling modes, protecting the compressor between services.
Who should buy the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA, and who should skip it?
Buy the Hisense AUF-36HR4SCPA if you run a 60 to 80 square metre hall that gets cold mornings and warm afternoons. Skip it for a room under 45 square metres, where the AUF-24TR4SJCPE floor unit at KSh 137,500 is a better match. If your hall exceeds 90 square metres or seats a dense crowd, the AUF-48HR4SMPA at KSh 230,000 adds 12,000 BTU, a third more capacity. Coastal sites that never get cold can choose a cooling-only model.
Technical Specifications
Cooling and Heating Performance
- Capacity of 36,000 BTU, about 10.5 kW or 3 tons, sized for halls of 60 to 80 square metres.
- Heat pump design runs both cooling and heating modes from one system, replacing separate fan heaters.
- Heating mode warms a cold hall before early services, breakfasts and morning meetings in highland towns.
- Cooling mode pulls heat and stuffiness out of a crowded room during afternoon receptions and lunches.
- Multi-directional airflow spreads conditioned air across wide rooms instead of chilling only the front rows.
- Automatic adjustment lets the unit change its output as the room fills or empties during long events.
Compressor and Running Costs
- Heat pump heating moves warmth from outside air, using far less electricity than bar heaters of similar output.
- Thermostat control stops the compressor once the hall reaches its set temperature, cutting power use between busy periods.
- One 36,000 BTU cabinet replaces two or three smaller wall units, reducing the number of compressors to service.
- Pre-cooling the hall an hour before guests arrive lets the unit settle before body heat builds up.
- Closing doors and curtains during functions keeps conditioned air inside and shortens the time the compressor runs.
- Switching off during long breaks between events saves power, since conditioning an empty hall wastes electricity.
Indoor Floor Standing Unit
- Indoor model AUF-36HR4SCPA is a tall floor cabinet, so no false ceiling or ceiling opening is required.
- Floor placement suits halls with exposed roof trusses, high pitched roofs or rented space where ceilings stay untouched.
- Filters, panels and fan sit at standing height, so cleaning needs no ladder or scaffolding.
- Anti-dust filter traps fine particles carried in from busy roads, protecting the coil and keeping airflow strong.
- Antibacterial filter treatment helps keep recirculated air cleaner in rooms where many people gather for hours.
- Quiet operation keeps fan noise from competing with a preacher, speaker or wedding MC.
Outdoor Unit
- Outdoor model AUW-36HT4SD is the matched condenser that pairs with the AUF-36HR4SCPA indoor cabinet.
- The outdoor unit houses the compressor, so most running noise stays outside the hall.
- In heat mode the outdoor unit reverses its cycle, drawing warmth from outside air and moving it indoors.
- Mounting on a firm base or wall bracket with clear airflow keeps both cooling and heating efficient.
- A shaded, well-ventilated position away from kitchen exhausts helps the condenser run cooler and last longer.
- Keeping the outdoor coil clear of leaves and dust after the long rains protects heating and cooling output.
Electrical and Refrigerant
- Uses R410A refrigerant, a common chlorine-free type that Kenyan technicians service and recharge routinely.
- Requires a dedicated circuit with its own breaker, never shared with kitchen equipment or sound systems.
- Mascom International recommends a voltage protector to guard the compressor against KPLC dips and surges.
- The supply requirement is checked during installation, so your building's wiring is confirmed before the unit is mounted.
- Generator users should share the generator rating so the starting load can be checked before events.
- Correct cable sizing from the distribution board prevents overheated wiring during long afternoon cooling sessions.
Controls and Features
- Remote control lets a caretaker switch modes and set temperature from across the hall.
- Mode selection moves between heating and cooling in seconds, matching cold mornings and warm afternoons.
- Temperature setting holds the room at your chosen level, so ushers and staff stop adjusting it all day.
- Fan speed control lets you raise airflow when the room is full and lower it for quieter meetings.
- Airflow direction control points air toward seating areas rather than straight at the front wall.
- One remote handles every setting, so a single trained caretaker can run the unit for each event.
