Which Toshiba Model Is Right for You?

Selecting the right model depends on your space, usage habits, and preferences. At ClimateWorks, we help guide you through that decision process with a full home assessment and system specification.

Key factors we consider:

  • Room size and layout
  • Heat load (windows, insulation, lighting)
  • Number of rooms to be cooled
  • Your preferences for noise levels, design, and control
  • Long-term usage expectations (e.g. heating in winter)

With Toshiba’s extensive range, we can match the right system to the right situation—whether you’re retrofitting or building from new.

Smart Controls for Easy Management

All Toshiba systems are compatible with Wi-Fi and smartphone control, offering homeowners more flexibility than ever.

Through the Toshiba Home AC Control app, you can:

  • Turn systems on or off remotely
  • Adjust temperature and fan settings
