York Aircon is an American air conditioner company that continues to make a name for itself in Singapore for its solid lineup of quality aircon products.

In this York aircon review, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about the brand’s products, their pros and cons and the best-selling features you should know about before buying.

Pros and Cons

The Good

Good refrigeration

As America’s top-quality air conditioner, York aircon is always focused on applying the latest aircon technology to its products. The brand’s new generation compressor uses the R410A refrigerant gas, enabling the machine to cool faster and deeper.

On average, a line of York 9000BTU series will take about 12 minutes to cool a 10 m2 room, while the 9000BTU models of other brands usually take about 15 minutes to cool the whole room.

Not only that, the Turbo modes will help the room quickly reach the required temperature in just a few minutes. The brand’s Follow Me technology helps to detect the room's human position, thereby having the right wind direction to cool room occupants.

It can be said that in refrigeration technology, York air conditioning can challenge more popular brands such as Panasonic or Daikin.

Energy saving

Most new generation York aircon products are equipped with inverter technology and use the R410A refrigerant gas, which helps the machines save up to 50% of electricity than other cheap and conventional aircon products.

Automatically detects gas leaks

York aircon units can automatically check and detect gas leaks due to installation or during operation. The EC error code will be displayed on the indoor unit, and the unit will stop for you to check and correct the problem.

Warranty policy

York air conditioner products typically have a warranty period of 8 to 10 years.

‍

The Bad

Must be installed carefully

While York aircon is praised for its good refrigeration, the aircon units’ R410A gas still requires proper handling and care when doing the unit installation.

Repair parts are few and difficult to repair

Because the brand is a newcomer to Singapore and the products are all imported goods, it is quite difficult to find parts when failure occurs and parts need some replacing.
