FAQ: Normande ND17

What room size is the Normande ND17 for?

⁦12,000 BTU⁩ suits a room of about ⁦12–16⁩ m² as a portable unit, with the same output in heating.

How much does the Normande ND17 cost in Israel?

We saw it for ₪1,590 (NIS) at Avi Super in November 2026. It doesn't need installation.

Does the ND17 have a Shabbat mode?

Yes. According to the store page, the model is suitable for use on Shabbat and holidays, certified by the Zomet Institute.

Does the ND17 work without a hose?

According to the spec sheet, ⁦1,345 W⁩ in cooling and ⁦1,060 W⁩ in heating, which is about ⁦1.3 kWh⁩ per hour at full cooling, with COP 2.6.
