AHIC Australia’s showcase at ARBS 2024 demonstrated the rich history and deep understanding of customer needs across the pioneering air conditioning technology of two legendary names in the market.
“At AHIC Australia we’re not just selling air conditioners; we’re delivering a legacy of comfort and innovation,” Indraneel (Neel) Mitra, AHIC national manager for sales & marketing, explained.
“With Toshiba’s cutting-edge inverter technology and Carrier’s historic invention of air conditioning, we offer unparalleled quality.”
The company’s dual-brand strategy provides a comprehensive range of products, catering to various market segments with Toshiba’s high-end Japanese technology and Carrier’s robust engineering. This strategic diversity allows AHIC to meet the unique needs of each customer.
“Our product lineup is designed to offer something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for top-tier Japanese innovation or dependable American quality, we have the perfect solution,” Mitra said.
AHIC’s commitment to their customers is further exemplified by their industry-leading seven-year warranty on both brands.
“We stand firmly behind the quality of our products. Our seven-year warranty is a promise of our confidence and a symbol of our commitment to our customers,” Mitra said.
One of the highlights at ARBS 2024 was the Haori, a designer high wall unit that captured the imagination of attendees.
The Haori’s customisable fabric colours and aesthetically pleasing design make it a standout option for home environments, where the consistency of the décor is increasingly important to homeowners.
Meanwhile, the company’s focus on sustainability and energy efficiency was evident in its promotion of the New South Wales and Victoria rebate schemes. These initiatives align with AHIC’s vision of promoting efficient and cost-effective heating and cooling solutions.
For example, AHIC’s unique 17-kilowatt ducted unit, eligible for high rebate value, was a topic of interest among attendees.
“With the government’s rebate schemes, we’re seeing a significant shift towards energy-efficient reverse cycle systems. AHIC is at the forefront of this transition, offering products that not only save energy but also provide financial benefits to our customers,” Sam Gabriel, Toshiba national manager of AHIC Australia, explained.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, AHIC has emerged stronger and more focused after the challenges of COVID.
“We’ve weathered the storm and are back with a bang. ARBS 2024 is our platform to reconnect with the industry and showcase our strengths,” Gabriel said.
With ARBS back in Sydney for the first time in several years, there has been intense interest in what companies like AHIC Australia have been up to.
Mitra said that across all three days the number of visitors to the booth – which placed the Haori units up front to demonstrate just how good they looked – was exceptional.
“The diverse range of inquiries we’ve received, from technical to business aspects, is a testament to the industry’s confidence in our offerings,” he said.
“We’re not just showcasing products; we’re building relationships and exploring new business opportunities.”
With two distinct but equally respected brands, AHIC is a company that truly covers all bases, and in an era where customisation, personalisation, aesthetics and quality are all important to consumers, this places it in a strong position.
