Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about electriQ iQool12Plus 12000 BTU

  • Powerful cooling performance, capable of cooling rooms quickly
  • Effective heating functionality for year-round use
  • Energy-efficient inverter technology, saving 40%-60% on bills
  • Includes a 5m pipe kit, facilitating easier installation
  • Smart features and remote control allow for individual room climate control
  • Quiet operation compared to portable units

What we don't like about electriQ iQool12Plus 12000 BTU

  • Installation requires technical skills or professional help, despite being a 'self-install' unit
  • Heating capability can be slow in temperatures below -5°C
  • Takes a significant amount of time to adjust temperatures when ambient conditions are extreme (above 30°C)
  • Higher initial cost compared to portable air conditioning units

Verdict

The electriQ iQool 12000 BTU Smart A+++ Split Air Conditioner is a highly efficient wall-mounted system capable of cooling and heating rooms up to 30m² using an eco-friendly R32 refrigerant and a powerful GMCC Toshiba compressor with Super DC Inverter technology. This multi-functional 3-in-1 unit provides 3.8 kW of maximum cooling capacity, 3.8 kW of heating capacity, and a built-in dehumidifier that removes excess moisture, achieving an exceptional SEER rating of 8.5 (A+++) for cooling and a SCOP of 4.6 (A++) for heating. Key advantages include smart Wi-Fi scheduling and voice assistant control, an ultra-quiet sleep mode, an integrated UVC steriliser for germ elimination, a self-cleaning mode, and a pre-gassed 'I Feel' tracking remote, all supported by a standard 5m pre-flared copper pipe kit to simplify setup. However, notable drawbacks include a complex initial Wi-Fi configuration and the strict legal requirement for an F-Gas certified professional engineer to install or commission the system to validate its warranty.
