Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 230,000, a brand new and sealed 48,000 BTU floor standing split system paired with the AUW-48HT6SD outdoor unit. The Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA moves roughly 4 tons of heat, about 14 kW, which suits one open floor of 80 to 110 square metres. It runs on a three-phase supply, uses R410A refrigerant and pairs a fixed-speed compressor with a heating mode. Find it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where our team walks you through sizing before you commit.
Built for supermarket owners, hospitality managers, school bursars and logistics coordinators, the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA solves one stubborn problem: a big room that two wall splits never quite reach. Picture a banqueting hall in Nakuru packed for a wedding reception, a factory canteen in Industrial Area at lunch, or a dispatch bay with roller doors opening all afternoon. From one corner, the tall Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA cabinet throws its stream across the whole floor and keeps far tables comfortable. Large classrooms, church halls and event venues gain one controller, one service visit and one outdoor unit to secure instead of two.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that quote a big unit and walk away, Mascom International sizes the room with you first and tells you plainly when 36,000 BTU is enough. Facility managers across Nairobi tell us the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA ends the complaints about hot corners that used to follow every busy Saturday. Buying one 48,000 BTU unit instead of two 24,000 BTU floor standers from our range also saves KSh 45,000 on hardware. Visit Kimathi Street to see the cabinet, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA
Is the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA worth KSh 230,000 for a large venue in Kenya?
Yes, for one open space of 80 to 110 square metres, the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA at KSh 230,000 is the most economical route Mascom International offers. Two AUF-24TR4SJCPE floor standers would cost KSh 275,000 and need two outdoor units, two drain lines and two installation jobs. Spread across 110 square metres, the hardware works out near KSh 2,090 per square metre. You also service one machine instead of two, which halves routine cleaning visits.
Does the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA need three-phase power?
Yes, the AUW-48HT6SD outdoor unit that pairs with the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA is a three-phase machine built for a 380-415V, 50Hz supply. Most supermarkets, warehouses, schools and factories in Kenya already have a three-phase KPLC connection, but many homes and small shops do not. Ask your electrician to confirm the phases at your distribution board before ordering. If your premises run on single phase only, message Mascom International on WhatsApp first so we can suggest a better fit.
Is the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA an inverter, and does it heat as well?
The Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA is a fixed-speed, non-inverter heat pump, so it both cools and heats. Its compressor runs at full output until the room reaches your set temperature, then cycles off and back on. That suits halls and supermarkets that run long, steady hours with doors opening often. Heating mode earns its keep on cold July mornings in Nairobi, Nyeri and Limuru, when a banqueting hall or classroom feels chilly before people arrive.
How big a room can the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA handle?
The Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA suits an open space of roughly 80 to 110 square metres under a normal ceiling. Its 48,000 BTU output equals about 14 kW, or 4 tons of refrigeration. Aim for the upper figure only when the room has good insulation, few west-facing windows and moderate crowds. A packed reception, a bakery section with ovens or a metal-roofed warehouse adds heat fast, so plan for the lower end of that range.
Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA or the AUC-36HR4SKA cassette, which should I buy?
Choose the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA when you need the biggest output from one unit and have floor space in a corner. Pick the Hisense AUC-36HR4SKA cassette, at KSh 213,000, when you have a suspended ceiling and want nothing on the floor or walls. The cassette spreads its output from the middle of the ceiling but carries 12,000 BTU less capacity. For halls above about 80 square metres, the floor stander gives more headroom for KSh 17,000 extra.
How does the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA cope with power cuts and coastal humidity?
The Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA has an auto-restart feature, so after a KPLC outage it returns to its last mode and temperature without anyone touching the remote. That matters in a supermarket that opens at dawn before the manager arrives. The outdoor condenser carries a Gold-Fin anti-corrosive coating, which helps it resist the salty, humid conditions of Mombasa, Kilifi and Diani. Installers should still fit a voltage guard rated for three-phase loads.
Who should buy the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA, and who should skip it?
Buy the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA if you run one large open room: a supermarket floor, warehouse dispatch area, banqueting hall, factory canteen, lecture room or event venue. Skip it for a bedroom, a single office or a small shop, where it would switch on and off constantly and waste power. Smaller rooms suit the Hisense AUF-18CR4SCPA3 at KSh 121,000, while boardrooms and clinic waiting areas fit the AUF-24CR4SJCPA3 at KSh 137,500.
Is installation included with the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA?
Installation is not included in the KSh 230,000 price of the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA, and professional installation is required. A unit this size needs a qualified technician to run copper pipework, vacuum the lines, charge R410A correctly and wire the three-phase outdoor unit. Mascom International can arrange an installation team for you. Pipe length, wall type and electrical work change the cost, so send photos of your site and confirm the installation quote on WhatsApp.
What upkeep does the Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA need in a busy commercial space?
The Hisense AUF-48HR4SMPA needs its indoor filters cleaned regularly, and more often in dusty warehouses or canteens with cooking fumes. Book a full service with a coil wash and refrigerant pressure check at regular intervals. Because it is a single unit, one technician visit covers the whole room. Floor placement means no ladders or ceiling panels, so your own staff can handle filter cleaning between visits without closing the venue.
Technical Specifications
Capacity and Room Coverage
- Rated capacity of 48,000 BTU, roughly 14 kW, pulls heat out of crowded halls and busy shop floors.
- Equal to about 4 tons of refrigeration, matching two 24,000 BTU units from one single cabinet.
- Suited to open spaces of roughly 80 to 110 square metres, depending on insulation, crowds and sun.
- Heat pump design adds a heating mode for chilly mornings, so one unit serves the room all year.
- Auto-defrost clears ice from the outdoor coil during heating, keeping warm output steady without manual resets.
- Floor standing cabinet sends a long throw across the room, reaching tables and aisles far from the unit.
Compressor and Energy Efficiency
- Fixed-speed, non-inverter compressor runs at full power, then cycles off once the set temperature is reached.
- Full-output running pulls large rooms down quickly after doors open, useful for venues with constant foot traffic.
- Simpler non-inverter electronics are familiar to most Kenyan technicians, which keeps diagnosis and repairs straightforward.
- One 48,000 BTU unit means one compressor to service instead of two, cutting maintenance call-outs in half.
- Correct sizing avoids rapid on-off cycling, which wastes power and shortens compressor life in oversized installations.
Indoor Floor Standing Unit
- Indoor model AUF-48HR4SMPA measures about 580 mm wide, 1870 mm tall and 380 mm deep.
- Slim 380 mm depth lets the cabinet sit against a wall or pillar without blocking busy aisles.
- White semi-glossy finish blends with supermarket, banqueting and classroom interiors and wipes clean in seconds.
- No ceiling or wall mounting is needed, so buildings with high or exposed roofs can still be served.
- Quiet operation keeps speeches, lessons and announcements audible in halls, chapels and lecture rooms.
- Floor placement makes filter cleaning and inspection easy without ladders, scaffolding or removing ceiling boards.
Outdoor Condensing Unit
- Outdoor model AUW-48HT6SD houses the compressor and condenser, matched specifically to the AUF-48HR4SMPA indoor cabinet.
- Gold-Fin anti-corrosive condenser coating helps the coil resist salt and humidity along Kenya's coastal strip.
- IP24 resistance class protects against splashing water, so heavy rainy-season downpours do not threaten the electronics.
- Needs a solid wall bracket or ground plinth with clear space around it to release heat properly.
- Shade and distance from dust sources help the condenser reject heat efficiently on hot afternoons.
- A lockable cage is worth adding for ground-level installs at warehouses, markets and shopping centres.
Electrical Supply and Refrigerant
- Three-phase power supply at 380-415V, 50Hz, matching standard commercial KPLC connections across Kenya.
- Premises on single phase only cannot run this unit without first arranging a three-phase upgrade.
- A dedicated circuit breaker and isolator near the outdoor unit allow technicians to service it safely.
- A voltage guard rated for three-phase loads shields the compressor from surges when grid power returns.
- R410A refrigerant is ozone-friendly and widely stocked by Kenyan refrigeration technicians for top-ups and repairs.
- CFC-free design meets the environmental expectations of schools, NGOs and corporate buildings with green policies.
Controls and Features
- Easy remote control changes mode and temperature from across a large hall, with no walk to the cabinet.
- Cooling and heating modes switch from the same handset, handy for cold mornings and hot afternoons.
- Sleep mode eases the set point gradually through the night, suiting boarding school halls and hostel dormitories.
- Auto-restart returns the unit to its last settings after a power cut, without staff pressing any buttons.
- One controller for the whole room ends disputes between two smaller units fighting different temperature settings.
