The AUX Halo Deluxe is an air conditioner whose manufacturer description begins with health rather than power. The line is meant to be exclusive, aimed at lovers of minimalism and designed for modern interiors. In the 3.6 kW version, nominal cooling output is 3.6 kW and heating 3.8 kW. Seasonal efficiency is SEER 6.12 (class A++) and SCOP 4.14 (class A+). These are not record values, but together with the filtration and the design they make a coherent proposition. For us this order of priorities is a useful hint: you pick this air conditioner when the air at home should be not just cool but clean.
The AUX-12HE/I indoor unit measures 788 × 292 × 200 mm, weighs 8.5 kg and runs at a sound level from 20 to 38 dB. The AUX-12HE/O outdoor unit is rated at 56 dB. The manufacturer gives an operating range from -10°C in cooling and from -20°C in heating, and the feature list names heating at -20°C. The refrigerant is R32 and the compressor is an inverter rotary type. The look completes the whole: a black body with a mirror panel clearly sets this model apart from typical white units on a wall.
Three things define the character of the model: a black casing with a mirror decorative panel and silver profiles, a set of filters, and a built-in Wi-Fi module with a weekly timer. We take care of choosing the place, the installation route and commissioning. We quote the installed price after a free assessment. Everything we write here comes from the manufacturer's data; where data is missing, for example the maximum installation length, we say so plainly.
Overview and positioning
According to AUX, Halo Deluxe is a line for lovers of luxury, in which minimalism is meant to be taken to perfection. In our catalogue the model appears in black, and the manufacturer describes the casing as slim and black, with a mirror decorative panel broken up by silver profiles. It is a unit for someone who wants the air conditioner to look like part of the interior while also taking care of air quality. For a Warsaw client this means a practical decision: if dust collects in the flat and there is a busy street outside, filtration will matter more to you than a tenth of a point of efficiency.
The manufacturer's description is heavily focused on filtration and hygiene: an ionizer, a PM2.5 filter, an antibacterial filter, a high-density filter and additional air filters. Only after that come the operating modes and controls. For this reason we consider the model a good choice for allergy sufferers and people who spend a lot of time at home, though we stress that no air conditioner replaces ventilation. The manufacturer's descriptions speak directly about the effect of clean air on well-being and concentration at work or study, but we do not assess such effects; we only quote the claims.
In terms of numbers this is a balanced proposition. A SEER of 6.12 is not a record, but the model has standard equipment: an economy mode, a 0.3W standby mode and an inverter rotary compressor. A conversation about running costs should therefore rest on this model's own parameters, not on general promises. On top of that comes built-in Wi-Fi, which is often an add-on you have to buy and here comes as standard.
Cooling and heating technology
At the heart is an inverter rotary compressor, which the manufacturer describes as a guarantee of efficient, trouble-free operation and lower running costs. Nominal cooling output is 3.6 kW and heating 3.8 kW. There are no minimum or maximum outputs in the data, so we do not state them. A SEER of 6.12 in cooling is class A++, and a SCOP of 4.14 in heating is class A+. We do not give a power modulation range here, because the source does not contain it and guessing makes no sense.
The outdoor temperature range is given only at the lower end: from -10°C in cooling and from -20°C in heating. There is no upper limit in the data, so we do not write about one. In its description the manufacturer calls the heating mode a year-round alternative to traditional heating systems thanks to the heat pump. For Warsaw we treat it as supplementary heating in the shoulder season and in moderate frost. In our experience an air conditioner of this output serves a medium-sized living room well, but we confirm the final selection at the site visit.
The refrigerant is R32. The manufacturer points to its low GWP of 675, its recyclability and 30% less refrigerant in the installation. Among technical features it also lists intelligent defrosting, an anti-corrosion outdoor unit casing and gold-coated exchanger fins. The manufacturer lists them as build features, not as cleaning functions. The anti-corrosion casing of the outdoor unit matters in city air, where the unit stands on a facade all year round.
Comfort and air quality
According to the manufacturer, the ionizer balances the level of positive and negative ions in the room, which is meant to prevent the growth of viruses, fungi and bacteria and to neutralize allergens and odours. The PM2.5 filter is meant to catch fine dust particles and remove 99.9% of those pollutants. Alongside them work an antibacterial filter with a coating that inhibits the growth of microorganisms and a higher-density filter that holds back dust. Besides these, the manufacturer mentions a mould protection function, which matters especially in humid rooms.
The feature list also includes UV sterilization, marked with an asterisk as depending on the version, a Cold Plasma ionizer, 57°C sterilization, a self-cleaning feature and mould protection. Because some of them depend on the version, we confirm the specific configuration before ordering instead of assuming that every option is in your unit. Features marked by the manufacturer as version-dependent are treated with caution and are never added to an offer without checking.
The indoor unit's sound level is from 20 to 38 dB and the outdoor unit's is 56 dB. The manufacturer describes a quiet mode in which the indoor unit runs with a reduced sound pressure level. Night mode raises the setpoint in cooling by 1°C per hour for the first two hours, then holds the temperature for the next 5 hours and switches the unit off. The I FEEL function adjusts the temperature to the conditions in the room. The dehumidifying mode automatically selects temperature and airflow to lower humidity, which according to the manufacturer prevents the growth of fungi, mould and bacteria.
Controls and Wi-Fi
This is one of the model's stronger points. According to the manufacturer, Halo Deluxe air conditioners have a Wi-Fi module built in as standard, with a weekly timer, so there is no need to buy extra controllers. Through the app you can control the unit from a smartphone, tablet or computer, from anywhere. For many people this is a convenient alternative to buying separate controllers, and the wireless remote stays close at hand. The manufacturer notes that the app lets you control the air conditioning around the clock, which in practice means you can change settings also at work or while travelling.
The app has, as the manufacturer puts it, a huge number of functions, including a time programmer. Besides Wi-Fi the list names a 24H timer, an LED display, a wireless controller, TURBO mode, automatic mode and automatic restart. Switching on remotely before you come home lets you start from a pleasant temperature, and the weekly schedule helps keep a steady rhythm of operation.
During commissioning we configure the controls and show how to connect the unit to the app. It helps if the home network has good coverage at the installation spot, which we check at the site visit. If the network in the flat is weak, we will say so before installation and suggest a solution. If a particular app function matters to you, ask us before ordering and we will check it in the documentation.
Design and build
We describe the look as the manufacturer does: a slim black casing with a mirror decorative panel, broken up by silver profiles. The slogan accompanying this line speaks of the quintessence of elegant style and perfection in every detail. We stick to the facts: a black body, a mirror panel, silver profiles. For most flats this is an aesthetic decision: the black body will be a clear accent, so it is worth considering whether it suits the wall. The manufacturer also says the line was created with modern interiors in mind, so it looks best on a smooth, calm wall without a lot of decoration beside it.
The indoor unit measures 788 × 292 × 200 mm and weighs 8.5 kg, so it is light and not very wide. The manufacturer also lists two-sided condensate drainage, which gives flexibility in routing the installation, and 4D airflow, in which the horizontal and vertical louvres move automatically in four directions.
The build also includes hydrophilic aluminium fan blades, gold-coated exchanger fins in both indoor and outdoor units, and an anti-corrosion outdoor unit casing. With a black body the tidiness of the pipework matters as well, so we run it straight and agree with the client how to hide it. We give all these build elements as the manufacturer states them. We do not describe any finishes that are absent from the source materials, and we treat the catalogue photo as an illustration consistent with the manufacturer's description.
Installation and service
Installation covers mounting the indoor and outdoor units and running up to a few metres of refrigerant, electrical and condensate lines. We make the wall penetration and route the installation neatly, evacuate the system and check it for leaks, charge it with refrigerant and start the unit. The maximum installation length is not in the data, so we set the scope at the free assessment. We add the position of the outdoor unit so that it is easy to reach for service. Before drilling, we mark the hole on the wall and check that it does not clash with services in the masonry.
After start-up we check the operating parameters and configure the controls, including the connection to the app. At the end we give an operating briefing and hand over the warranty documents. We also show how to remove and clean the filters, because with such an extensive filtration set regular care is especially important. We also show a recommended service rhythm, which depends on how intensively the unit is used and whether there are pets or smokers in the flat.
Possible surcharges, discussed before the work, are a longer route, drilling through concrete or reinforced concrete, chasing, a condensate pump and work from a lift platform. We quote the installed price after a free assessment. After the season we recommend a service visit, filter cleaning and a check of the condensate drain. We discuss all surcharges in advance so the client knows the full scope of work.
Who this model is for — summary
Choose the AUX Halo Deluxe 3.6 kW if you want a black air conditioner with a mirror panel and also care about air filtration: the ionizer, PM2.5 filter and antibacterial filter are the core of the offer. It suits a flat where someone has an allergy or works from home. It is for people who want a black body, filtration and Wi-Fi in one unit rather than record seasonal figures. It is a choice with an emphasis on looks and healthy air.
It will also appeal to someone who likes to control by app and set a weekly schedule, because the Wi-Fi module is built in as standard. If top seasonal efficiency matters most to you, we will compare this model with others, because a SEER of 6.12 is not a record. Note that we do not state minimum and maximum output or maximum installation length, because they are not in the data, so we discuss those matters at the assessment.
Book a free assessment: we will look at the wall, decide where the outdoor unit goes and quote the installed price. We will also say at once if another configuration would be better. That way you can be sure the decision rests on specifics, not on general assurances.
