What BTU Kelon air conditioner do I need for my room?

Use 12000 BTU for rooms up to 20 square metres, 18000 BTU for rooms up to 35 square metres, 24000 BTU for open-plan areas up to 50 square metres, 30000 BTU for large offices and retail, and 36000 BTU for warehouses and high-heat commercial spaces. Room height and sun exposure also affect the correct size.

Does a Kelon air conditioner include a heating function?

Yes. All Kelon split air conditioners in the SP-Energy range include both cooling and heating modes in one unit. This means one installation provides summer cooling and winter warmth without a second system.

How does an inverter air conditioner save electricity compared to a standard model?

An inverter aircon adjusts its compressor speed to match the room temperature demand. A standard fixed-speed model runs at full power then switches off, which uses more electricity over time. The Kelon inverter range maintains temperature steadily while using less power once the room reaches the set temperature.

Can I run a Kelon air conditioner during loadshedding?

Yes, if you have a hybrid inverter and battery bank sized to handle the aircon startup surge and running load. A 12000 BTU unit typically draws 1000 to 1200 watts running. Send your inverter and battery specs to SP-Energy and we will confirm whether your system can support the Kelon model you need.

Where can I collect a Kelon air conditioner in South Africa?

SP-Energy holds Kelon stock at 7 warehouses nationwide. Collection is available in Vanderbijlpark and Cape Town among other locations. Customers across Gauteng, the Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal can also order online for delivery in 2-5 working days.

What is the difference between the Kelon range and the Deye solar air conditioner range?

Kelon air conditioners are grid-powered split inverter units that can also run from a hybrid inverter and battery. The Deye solar air conditioner range connects directly to solar panels via MC4 ports and runs on DC power during peak sun hours, which reduces daytime Eskom use without a battery on many setups.
