Brand Spotlight: AUX Mini Splits Posted on July 10, 2026 At Total Home Supply, we believe in delivering only quality products from the world’s top brands. Today we’re adding a new brand to our portfolio of trusted manufacturers: Aux Air. Known globally for balancing affordability with solid performance, AUX mini splits recently landed in the US, providing homeowners and facility managers with a budget-friendly alternative while having the same features as more expensive brands. Learn all about AUX, its product lineup, and why you should consider the brand for your next mini split purchase. About AUX Despite being relatively unknown in the USA, AUX is actually an established name in the air conditioning industry. Founded in 1986, this multinational corporation has a diverse portfolio, including: Air conditioning systems Power equipment and smart energy Medical services And even real estate and finance In terms of AC products, the company entered the air conditioning industry in 1994. Since then, its HVAC products have been distributed in 170 countries and territories, making it one of the largest OEM and brand manufacturers. In fact, AUX has ranked among the top global air conditioner manufacturers by cumulative sales in recent years, competing directly with giants like Gree and Midea. If you’re wondering why you may not have heard of AUX, it’s because the brand only entered the US market in 2024. Despite being a new player in the American market, AUX is quickly making a name for its cost-effective AC products with features and performance that rival more expensive brands. Today, AUX operates: 40,000+ employees globally 15+ manufacturing bases worldwide 6–7 R&D centers spread across multiple countries What Sets AUX Mini Splits Apart 1. Incredible Value for Performance This is where AUX stands out the most. Compared to premium brands, AUX boasts: Lower prices Comparable baseline performance Competitive warranties Based on years of reviews from other countries, AUX mini splits are widely regarded as providing good quality at an affordable price, making them attractive for budget-conscious consumers, as well as facilities requiring large-scale purchases. For property managers and developers, this can significantly reduce capital expenditure across multi-unit projects. 2. Strong OEM Experience Compared to other budget brands, AUX is not merely a reseller of units made by other brands; it’s a full-scale manufacturer. The company produces its own systems and components, while supplying OEM units for other HVAC brands. This vertical integration is what enables AUX to offer lower prices thanks to economies of scale, while ensuring consistent quality and performance comparable to premium brands. Which brings us to its third advantage: 3. Premium Features Without Premium Pricing AUX mini splits incorporate many features typically found in higher-end systems. These include Inverter technology for improved energy efficiency Real-time sensors for adaptive comfort Smart features for wireless control and smart home integration Self-cleaning (iClean) systems for better air quality One good example is smart wireless control. While other brands typically offer this option only in higher-end models, even AUX’s entry-level units have built-in WiFi as standards. In fact, the company takes it one step further by providing an integrated voice control feature called Lisa. This means you can control the mini split by voice even without an app or remote. Lisa is also different from Amazon Alexa or Google Home, so it can be used even if you don’t have a smart home. Such features, commonly found in high-end units, make AUX highly competitive in terms of value and functionality. 4. Energy Efficiency AUX systems often carry EnergyStar certifications and respectable SEER ratings. While its maximum efficiency tiers are slightly lower and it has fewer ultra-high SEER models, the brand still offers solid energy efficient performance backed by EnergyStar and certified by third-party testing. 5. Simplified Installation & Serviceability One of AUX’s most unique selling points is installation efficiency. Units are designed for quick, simplified installs, with some models even being marketed as one-person installation systems. While not on the same level as MRCOOL’s DIY mini splits, these allow homeowners to to reduce labor and installation costs compared to other brands. Design-wise, AUX units are built with installers and contractors in mind, having conveniently accessible internal components and simplified PCBs for faster servicing and maintenance. This makes it an attractive option for facilities requiring large-scale installations and regular servicing. 6. Competitive Warranty Coverage As a certified manufacturer of its own AC systems, AUX stands behind its products by offering one of the best warranties in its class: 5-year standard parts warranty 7-year compressor warranty Up to 12 years extended coverage (with registration) This helps offset concerns typically associated with newer or less-established brands.
