The details
Quick, powerful cooling and heating
Feel comfortable all year, whatever the weather throws at you. Digital inverter technology delivers rapid cooling in summer and dependable warmth in winter, keeping indoor temperatures just right - even in extreme conditions. Fast Cooling mode starts off at maximum fan speed, bringing the room to your preferred temperature in no time.
Smart energy use
A++ rated for energy efficiency, this model helps cut down electricity bills without compromising comfort. The digital inverter system keeps the room consistently cool or warm by reducing stop-start cycles - less fluctuation, more savings. It runs quietly and lasts longer thanks to a powerful magnet setup and built-in Muffler.
Better for your home, better for the planet
Using R32 refrigerant, this unit provides stronger cooling with less environmental impact. It’s more efficient than older refrigerants, meaning less energy is needed to keep your home cool.
Cleaner air, less hassle
The self-cleaning function keeps things hygienic by drying out the heat exchanger automatically. This helps prevent mould and bacteria from building up inside, so you’ll enjoy cleaner air and fewer maintenance worries.
Breathe easy
The HD Filter captures dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne nasties - ideal if you’ve got allergies or want cleaner indoor air. It’s washable too, so you can rinse and reuse it whenever needed.
Comfort through the night
Good Sleep mode adjusts the temperature as you rest, creating the right conditions for each stage of your sleep cycle. That means uninterrupted comfort and lower energy use through the night.
Even temperature, everywhere
With 2-Way Auto Swing, air flows evenly around the room. Whether it’s cool or warm, it’s spread quickly and efficiently—so no more hot or cold patches.
Quiet when you need it
Noise levels as low as 22 dBA make this unit ideal for bedrooms, studies, or anywhere you need peace and quiet. It won’t interrupt your sleep, work, or downtime.
Easy, efficient installation
Engineered for faster fitting, this air con reduces installation time and effort. It’s perfect when you're looking to install multiple units quickly.

Question from Chris: Asked on 29/06/2026 Does the indoor unit need to be on an external wall or can it be internal? Thanks
Hi, The indoor unit does not need to be mounted on an external wall. It can be installed on any suitable internal wall, provided the pipework, drainage and electrical connections can be routed through to the outdoor unit via an external wall.
Thank you.
Question from Francesco: Asked on 24/06/2026 Hi on What side the indoor unit pipes are ?
Hi, The indoor unit does not have a fixed pipe side. It is designed so the pipework can be routed from the left-hand side or right-hand side (as well as rear or underside), depending on installation requirements. The installer will choose the most suitable exit point on site.
Thank you.
Question from Man1234: Asked on 23/06/2026 Is it possible to run two indoor units from the one external unit?
Hi,the Samsung AR12ART is a standard single-split air conditioning system, so it can only run one indoor unit from its outdoor unit, and it cannot be expanded to support a second indoor unit unless it is paired with a specific multi-split outdoor unit designed for that purpose.Thanks!
Question from Melonie Bowman: Asked on 23/06/2026 Once correctly fitted by an engineer, is there maintenance on this ? If so what ?
Hi, Once installed, maintenance is minimal – just regular filter cleaning and occasional checks of the outdoor unit, with no complex servicing required by the homeowner.
Thank you.
Question from S.B.: Asked on 18/06/2026 Does the outdoor and indoor unit come pre-gassed?
Hi, The outdoor unit is pre-charged with refrigerant. The indoor unit and pipework are not charged and must be vacuumed and commissioned by an F-Gas certified installer, who will then release the factory charge into the system.
Thank you.
Question from Anton Subash: Asked on 12/06/2026 Mobile smart app available for this unit?
Hi Anton,Yes, the Samsung AR12ART air conditioner can be controlled using the SmartThings mobile app, but only if your specific unit has built-in Wi-Fi. If it does not have Wi-Fi, it can’t connect to the app directly and would only work with the standard remote unless you use a separate smart IR controller.Thanks!
