Ultra-Efficient Modern AC Units

The Windmill AC is Easy-to-Install, Efficient, Quiet, and Cool

— May 17, 2023 — Eco
Windmill, a popular air care brand, is set to launch the upgraded Windmill 3.0 with new color grills and enhanced features on May 16th. The new color grills, available in four customer-chosen colors, add an aesthetic touch and are compatible with existing 2.0 units.

One key technical upgrade is the WhisperTech feature, a new energy-efficient core that merges advanced inverter technology with an ultra-quiet fan. Starting at 42dB, the new unit is nine times quieter than traditional, non-inverter ACs of the same size. The WhisperTech feature is available in both the 8k ($449) and the new 10k ($549) models, which are designed to cool spaces up to 350 and 450 square feet, respectively.

The new version is 35% more energy efficient than competitors, featuring dual-air intake for better airflow and a quicker cooling process. Windmill's EcoRewards even offers incentives to customers for smart energy use. Furthermore, the unit maintains its easy, sweat-free installation process. Customers can install the unit themselves or book a premium installation via TaskRabbit directly on Windmill's website.
