Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 is now in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 49,500 for a 12000 BTU wall-mounted split air conditioner with an inverter compressor, cooling and heating. Every unit reaches you brand new and sealed. The Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 runs on R410A refrigerant, carries 4-way swing louvres, and comes with a remote control and an LED display on the indoor unit. You can see it at our store in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Designed for households and businesses that need one machine for both seasons, the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 handles cold, damp July mornings in Nairobi as easily as a sweltering February afternoon. Home owners fitting master bedrooms, hospitality managers furnishing hotel rooms, and medical practitioners running consultation rooms share the same problem. A fan cannot warm a room, and a heater cannot cool one. This model solves both from a single wall unit. Its inverter compressor slows down instead of switching off once the room settles, so temperature swings stay small through the night.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops stock cooling-only splits at this size, Mascom International carries the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 for buyers who also want heat. It sits KSh 4,850 above the cooling-only AS-12CR4SVETG07ONE and KSh 4,350 above the 9000 BTU inverter model, making it the middle step in the Hisense range we hold. Customers across Nairobi tell us the heating function is what finally lets them retire the oil-filled radiator each winter. Walk in to compare it with its siblings, or message us on WhatsApp to arrange delivery. Our team will confirm stock, answer sizing questions, and dispatch the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 the same day within Nairobi and its environs.
Common Questions About the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00
Is the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 worth KSh 49,500 in Kenya?
Yes, the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 gives you cooling and heating from one wall unit for KSh 49,500 at Mascom International. A cooling-only 12000 BTU Hisense costs KSh 44,650, so heat and an inverter compressor add KSh 4,850. Spread over a single year, the full price works out to roughly KSh 136 a day. The heating side can replace a separate electric heater for the cold months. The inverter also avoids the harsh on-off cycling of older units, which matters in a room used all year.
Can the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 warm a room during Kenya's cold season?
Yes, the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 has a heating function, so it warms a room as well as cooling it. That matters in Nairobi, Limuru, Nyeri and Eldoret, where evenings between June and August turn cold and damp. Switch the remote to heat, set your target temperature, and the inverter compressor ramps up until the room reaches it. It then holds that level at reduced output instead of cycling hard. Close doors and curtains to help it, since heated air escapes quickly through gaps.
Should I choose the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 or the 9000 BTU AS-09UW4SGDTU01?
Choose the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 for larger rooms and the AS-09UW4SGDTU01 for compact ones. Both use inverter compressors, but the 12000 BTU unit moves about a third more heat per hour than the 9000 BTU model. That extra capacity suits a master bedroom, a lounge, or a consultation room with several people inside. The smaller unit costs KSh 45,150 at Mascom International, which is KSh 4,350 less. If your room is borderline, describe its size and sun exposure on WhatsApp and our team will recommend one.
How does the AS-12UW4SGETU00 compare with the cooling-only AS-12CR4SVETG07ONE?
The Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 adds heating and an inverter compressor, while the AS-12CR4SVETG07ONE only cools with a fixed-speed design. Both offer 12000 BTU of cooling. A fixed-speed compressor runs at full power, stops, then restarts, so room temperature rises and falls in noticeable waves. An inverter adjusts its speed continuously, keeping the temperature closer to your setting and usually drawing less power once the room settles. The cooling-only unit costs KSh 44,650, so the upgrade costs KSh 4,850.
What happens to the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 during a KPLC power cut?
The Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 has an auto restart function, so it returns to its previous settings once power comes back. You do not need to reach for the remote after every outage. Power interruptions and voltage dips can still stress any appliance, so many buyers fit a dedicated circuit and a surge protector during installation. Ask your installer to check your wiring and breaker rating before fitting. Mascom International can suggest suitable protection when you place your order.
Will the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 last near the coast in Mombasa or Diani?
The outdoor unit of the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 uses a copper condenser coil with an anti-corrosion coating, which helps it resist salty, humid coastal air. That protection matters in Mombasa, Kilifi, Malindi and Diani, where uncoated coils can corrode faster. Site the outdoor unit in shade where possible, keep it clear of plants and debris, and have the fins rinsed gently during servicing. Regular cleaning of the indoor filter also helps the system run efficiently in sticky weather, when it works hardest.
Who should buy the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00, and who should skip it?
Buy the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 if you need cooling and heating for a medium-sized room and want smooth inverter control. It suits upcountry homes with cold winters, hotel rooms, and consultation rooms used all year. Skip it if you only ever need cooling, because the AS-12CR4SVETG07ONE at KSh 44,650 does that for less. Renters who cannot mount an outdoor unit should look at the portable AP-12CR4RKVS00 at KSh 52,800. Large lounges and open-plan offices need the AS-18UW4SXATU08 at KSh 73,000.
How is the Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 installed and maintained?
The Hisense AS-12UW4SGETU00 needs professional installation, because a split system links an indoor and an outdoor unit with refrigerant piping and electrical wiring. A qualified technician mounts both units, connects and evacuates the lines, and tests the system before handover. Costs vary with pipe length and wall type, so agree the scope with your installer first. For routine care, slide out the washable high-density filter and rinse it every few weeks. The self-cleaning function helps reduce moisture inside the indoor unit between services.
Technical Specifications
Cooling and Heating Capacity
- Rated at 12000 BTU per hour, roughly 3.5 kW, sized for a medium bedroom, lounge or consultation room.
- Cooling mode pulls heat and moisture out of the room, easing sticky, airless days when ceiling fans stop helping.
- Heating mode reverses the refrigerant flow, warming the room on cold, damp nights without a separate electric heater.
- Turbo cooling pushes the compressor to higher output for a while, bringing a hot room down faster after you return.
- Sleep mode gradually adjusts the set temperature overnight, reducing over-cooling while you rest and keeping the unit calmer.
Inverter Compressor and Running Efficiency
- Inverter compressor varies its speed continuously instead of switching fully on and off like a fixed-speed unit.
- Smaller speed changes keep room temperature closer to your setting, with fewer hot-then-cold swings through the day.
- Running at reduced output once the room settles usually lowers power draw compared with constant stop-start cycling.
- Softer start-ups put less strain on household wiring than a fixed-speed compressor kicking in at full power.
- R410A refrigerant is a widely used, ozone-friendly gas that local air conditioning technicians are familiar with servicing.
Airflow and Air Distribution
- 4-way swing moves the louvres up, down, left and right, spreading conditioned air across the whole room.
- Multi-directional airflow avoids the cold patch directly under the unit that fixed louvres often create in narrow rooms.
- Wall-mounted indoor unit sits high on the wall, keeping floor space free for furniture, beds and foot traffic.
- Adjustable louvre position lets you direct air away from beds, desks or patient couches when a draught bothers someone.
- Split design keeps the compressor outdoors, so the noisiest component stays outside the room you are actually using.
Filtration and Routine Maintenance
- Washable high-density filter traps dust and lint, then rinses clean under a tap without buying replacement filters.
- Cleaner filters keep airflow strong and reduce the load on the compressor, helping the whole system run efficiently.
- Self-cleaning function dries the indoor coil after use, reducing damp build-up that often leads to musty smells.
- Filter rinsing needs no special tools, so you can handle routine care yourself between professional service visits.
- Dust-heavy neighbourhoods benefit most from frequent rinsing, since a clogged filter quietly cuts both cooling and heating output.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Copper condenser coil in the outdoor unit transfers heat efficiently, which supports steady output during the hottest weeks of the year.
- Anti-corrosion coating on the condenser helps resist salty, humid air and rain on exposed outdoor walls.
- Clean white finish on the indoor unit blends with most painted walls in homes, hotels and medical practices.
- Separate indoor and outdoor units allow installation on most masonry walls, provided the technician uses proper mounting hardware.
- Auto restart remembers your last settings, so the unit resumes normally after a power interruption without manual resetting.
Controls and Everyday Convenience
- Remote control handles mode, temperature and swing direction from anywhere in the room, including from bed.
- LED display panel on the indoor unit shows status clearly, so you can confirm settings at a glance.
- Cooling, heating, turbo and sleep functions all sit on one remote, with no wall switch or separate controller.
- Simple button layout suits older relatives and hotel guests who only want to raise or lower the temperature.
- Heating and cooling from one controller means a single appliance to learn, service and budget for each year.
