The Flyer I picked up in Carrefour has a 17,400BTU split unit (at least I
t=
hink its that, since they're obviously not shown with BTU ratings so I've
t=
ried to deduce a conversion ratio), for 369EURO (at today's rates that's
ab=
out =A3246)

I have a flyer with about a dozen units on it, by manufacturers including:

Shunde
Panasonic
DeLonghi
Samsung
Saunier Duval
Ecologic Air

With the cheapest being a 9000BTU split unit for 179EURO (about =A3120)
Right up to a double unit (1 x 8600BTU and 1 x 11700BTU internal units)
for=
499 EURO (approx =A3332)

If anyone wants to confirm I've deduced the correct conversion ratio, all
t=
hese units are rated in "Frigorias", and I've estimated, - based
on being a=
ble to find one of the units in google that shows its rating in BTU's,
that=
1 "frigoria" =3D approximately 3.91 BTU's

Makes you sick, doesn't it....
