The Vivax R PRO in its 3.5 kW version, coded ACP-12CH35AERI PRO R32, is an inverter wall-mounted air conditioner for a customer who wants a high energy class without reaching for top-shelf equipment. The manufacturer quotes a seasonal SEER of 8.5 and an A+++ class in cooling, plus a SCOP of 4.6 and an A++ class in heating. For a single bedroom, living room or a lounge open to a kitchen area, this size is usually enough, and the electricity bill stays predictable. At this size the unit also stays compact enough to fit above a sofa or a bed.
The most interesting feature of this model is its outdoor temperature range. Cooling works from -15 to 50 °C, and heating still operates at -25 °C. The outdoor unit has compressor and condenser heaters that limit ice build-up, so in winter the system runs more smoothly and the indoor unit is less likely to be left without warm air because of a frozen heat exchanger. For a flat in Warsaw where the air conditioner is meant to support the heating in spring and autumn, that is a real advantage.
The set is rounded off with things people look for when living with allergies or a small child: a bio filter, a super ioniser and self-cleaning of the indoor unit after it is switched off. Control from a phone requires buying a Wi-Fi module separately, so this is not the model for someone who wants an app straight out of the box with no extra cost. We quote the installed price after a free assessment, once we have seen the location and agreed the pipe route.
Overview and positioning
R PRO is the Vivax series meant to combine an accessible position in the range with parameters usually associated with more expensive units. The 3.5 kW variant has a nominal cooling output of 3.5 kW, which the inverter modulates between 1.4 and 4.0 kW. Heating is 3.8 kW nominal, from 1.1 to 4.1 kW. Such a spread means the compressor does not have to keep switching on and off; for most of the day it runs at low speed, matching the actual demand of the room. In daily use this means a steady temperature without sudden swings.
The set consists of an indoor unit coded ACP-12CH35AERI PRO R32 and an outdoor unit. The manufacturer's page does not give a separate designation for the outdoor unit, so before ordering we check that the set is complete and the codes match. The refrigerant is R32, which the manufacturer describes as more efficient and safer in use than older solutions.
Where does this model fit best? Where the customer wants an A+++ class and a wide operating range, but is not looking for a unit with elaborate automation or an app included in the set. It is a pragmatic choice for a flat or small house where the air conditioner will work for most of the year, not only during heatwaves. Anyone who likes simple remote-control operation and wants to avoid a surplus of features will find exactly what is needed here.
Cooling and heating technology
The heart of the unit is an inverter compressor, which the manufacturer describes as AI inverter technology. The system's task is to hold the required temperature without sharp jumps in output, which translates into quiet running and energy savings. The figures are solid for a 3.5 kW class: a SEER of 8.5 gives an A+++ class in cooling, and a SCOP of 4.6 gives an A++ class in heating. In practice this means low energy use in a typical season, although the exact result always depends on insulation and how the unit is used.
The AI ECO mode makes sure the unit does not run at full speed when less is enough to cool the room. According to Vivax this saves up to 30% compared with the standard ECO mode. We stress that this is a manufacturer's claim, and the real result depends on sun exposure, window tightness and household habits. It is worth keeping in mind when planning the season and deciding at which hours the unit should run.
In heating mode two numbers matter: the lowest outdoor operating temperature is -25 °C, and the upper limit is 24 °C. Thanks to the compressor and condenser heaters, the outdoor unit copes better with icing, which improves continuity of operation in frost. Heating output falls at very low temperatures, so we treat the air conditioner as a supplement to your heating, not the only source of warmth in the building. Cooling covers the range from -15 to 50 °C.
Comfort and air quality
Quiet operation is one of the main arguments for this model. The indoor unit's sound level ranges from 20 to 39 dB, and the outdoor unit is rated at 55 dB. The lowest level is useful at night: at 20 dB the unit is barely audible even in a small bedroom. At maximum fan speed the noise rises, so for sleeping we choose the night mode or a low speed and do not set the temperature too low. Remember that the outdoor unit is the louder part, so its position matters too.
Air cleanliness is handled by the bio filter and the super ioniser. The manufacturer states that they remove pollutants and allergens, which sensitive people will appreciate. We do not treat this as a replacement for an air purifier, but as an extra level of protection alongside regular filter cleaning. A practical tip: check the filters every few weeks during the season, because a clogged filter raises noise, reduces output and shortens the life of the unit.
The indoor unit cleans itself after operation: it dries the interior and removes leftover condensate at a temperature of 56 °C. This reduces the risk of moisture and the smell that sometimes appears at the start of the season. The “I feel” function uses a sensor that reads the temperature where you actually are and passes it to the air conditioner. As a result the unit regulates temperature and fan speed more precisely and saves energy at the same time.
Controls and Wi-Fi
The basic tool is the remote control. It lets you set the airflow direction horizontally and vertically, which helps distribute air around the room: cool towards the ceiling in summer, warmer towards the floor in winter. Combined with the “I feel” function, this gives comfortable control without getting up from the sofa and without constantly readjusting the settings. The handover after installation covers every button that is really useful.
Wi-Fi is not included in the set. The manufacturer offers it as a module to buy separately, and once it is purchased the air conditioner is controlled from the VIVAX Cool Net app. If you plan to control the unit from a phone, it is best to include the module at the quote stage. We can then prepare the connection when commissioning the unit, instead of coming back a few weeks later.
For clarity: without the module the air conditioner works fully and correctly with the remote. The app is a convenient extra, but not a condition for using any of the comfort or energy-saving functions described above. If switching on remotely before you come home is not important to you, you can skip the module and lower the cost of the whole set. The remote has clear markings, so any member of the household can learn it quickly.
Design and build
The indoor unit is white, with a simple and slim form that does not impose itself on the interior. Its dimensions are 813 mm wide, 201 mm deep and 289 mm high, and it weighs 8 kg. These are modest values for a wall-mounted air conditioner of this output, so the unit does not dominate the room and fits easily above a sofa, a bed or a desk. White blends easily with most walls, and the narrow casing gives an impression of lightness even when the unit is hung high.
The depth of 201 mm matters here: the shallower the casing, the less it protrudes from the wall, and in a typical Warsaw flat, where space is often limited, every centimetre counts. A weight of 8 kg does not require special reinforcement in a standard wall construction, although we always fix the bracket to suit the type of masonry involved in the installation.
The outdoor unit is equipped with compressor and condenser heaters, which help it deal with ice in heating mode. The R32 refrigerant is widely used in new household air conditioners. When laying the installation we take care to route the lines neatly, so that the outdoor part of the system does not spoil the facade or the balcony. If the flat has just been renovated, at the assessment we will point out the least invasive route so that plaster and tiles are not damaged.
Installation and service
The installation scope includes: mounting the indoor and outdoor units, up to a few metres of refrigerant, electrical and condensate routes, passing through the wall and neat routing of the installation. We then evacuate the system and check it for leaks, charge it with refrigerant and start the unit. Finally we check the operating parameters, configure the controls, walk you through operation and hand over the warranty documents. Our team carries out all of this in one visit, so the unit is usually ready to use the same day where site conditions allow.
The maximum installation length between the units is 25 m according to the manufacturer, so the model can be installed even when the outdoor unit has to sit further away. A longer route, drilling through concrete or reinforced concrete, chasing, a condensate pump or work from a lift platform may mean extra charges. We discuss them before work starts, and the scope is agreed at the free assessment, so nothing surprises you on installation day.
After installation the air conditioner needs regular care: cleaning the filters during the season and a periodic check of the installation. We recommend an inspection once a year, preferably before the cooling season, to check that the condensate drain is clear, the condition of the heat exchangers and the tightness of the system. If you notice a drop in performance, noise or a smell from the indoor unit, do not wait until the end of the season; a short service visit usually restores normal operation.
Who this model is for — summary
Choose the Vivax R PRO 3.5 kW if you care about a high energy class, quiet operation and the ability to heat even at -25 °C, while not needing control from a phone from the first day. It is a practical proposition for a bedroom, living room or studio where the unit is to work all year round and stay fairly unobtrusive. It also suits sleep: the low sound level on the quietest speed and the discreet white casing help rest.
We advise against it when the Wi-Fi app has to be in the set, because the module must be bought separately. We also advise against it if you expect humidification, ventilation with fresh air or other extensive functions; this model does what a wall-mounted air conditioner should do: it cools, heats and filters the air, and does it economically, without showy extras. If you are not sure that 3.5 kW is the right output for your room, we will say so honestly at the assessment, based on room volume, sun exposure and the number of people.
We quote the installed price after a free assessment. Write or call LeoKlima and we will agree the route length, the position of the outdoor unit and any extra charges before the work. The quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing, and it lets you compare this model with others in our catalogue.
