Refrigerant details from the manufacturer — ask us if unsure.

The Costway 18000 BTU split air conditioner is built for large open-plan rooms, covering up to 116m² of cooling and heating from a single A++ inverter wall unit. With a strong SEER of 6.7 and SCOP of 5.3 — the highest in this range — it's the most efficient per BTU, and its 850m³/h airflow and 38.4L/day dehumidification handle big volumes of air with ease. Despite the extra capacity, the silence function still brings noise down to a bedroom-quiet 19dB. Cooling and heating are both rated at 18,000 BTU (5100W / 5200W), and the cooling power input is 1800W, so at full output you'd spend roughly 47p an hour at around 26p/kWh; the inverter trims this considerably once the room is settled. You get 7 modes (cool, heat, dry, fan, auto, sleep, ECO), 4D swing, 5 fan speeds, child lock, self-clean and auto defrost, with a 24-hour timer and 8m remote. It runs on R32 refrigerant. As with all split systems, UK F-Gas rules mean it must be installed and commissioned by a certified engineer — the indoor unit weighs 10kg and the outdoor condenser 22kg, so this is a professional fit, not a plug-in portable.

18000 BTU Mini Split Air Conditioner & Heater A++ Energy Efficient Inverter Split AC — FAQs

What room size does an 18000 BTU split air conditioner cover?

This unit is rated to cool and heat large open-plan spaces up to 116m². Its 850m³/h airflow and 38.4L/day dehumidification suit bigger volumes than the 9000 or 12000 BTU models.

Does it require an F-Gas certified installer?

Yes. As a split system with refrigerant pipework and an outdoor condenser, UK F-Gas regulations require professional installation and commissioning. It is not a DIY unit.

How much does the 18000 BTU split cost to run per hour?

Its cooling power input is 1800W, so at full output it costs roughly 47p an hour at around 26p/kWh. Its class-leading SEER of 6.7 means the inverter draws much less once the room is at temperature.

Is it still quiet for a bedroom despite the higher output?

Yes. The silence function brings the minimum noise level to 19dB, the same as the smaller models, and a sleep mode is included.

Can it heat as well as cool?

Yes. It's a reversible heat pump rated at 18,000 BTU heating with a SCOP of 5.3, using R32 refrigerant, for efficient year-round use.
