This next-generation cooling solution, available in both Inverter and Non-Inverter configurations, is meticulously engineered for the unique environment of Malaysian homes. The Air Series Ab1 transcends basic cooling by integrating advanced features for cleaner air, enhanced comfort, and unprecedented user convenience, promising an uplifted living environment for families.

This range provides effortless comfort, smarter control at the consumer’s fingertips, and peace of mind throughout the ownership journey.
Pioneering Smart Service: The SmartCare QRâ„¢ Hub
Recognizing that convenience is paramount, particularly as families spend more time indoors, Philips introduces a groundbreaking feature: the all-in-one SmartCare QRâ„¢ Hub. This system establishes Philips as the first Air Conditioner brand in Malaysia to offer a fully integrated digital warranty and service experience. By simply scanning a unique QR code located on the indoor or outdoor unit, consumers instantly access an array of services:
- E-warranty registration
- Service and maintenance support requests
- Direct contact for warranty claims and customer support
- User Guide access for air conditioner error codes
This fast, intuitive, and hassle-free system moves far beyond traditional warranties, ensuring seamless, worry-free ownership. Furthermore, the Smart Service Reminder feature enhances maintenance convenience. After 1,000 hours of operation, the unit automatically alerts the user to clean the filter, which ensures peak performance and consistently clean airflow without requiring manual tracking.
Speed and Purity: Instant Comfort and Cleaner Air
The Air Series Ab1 is engineered for instant performance and enhanced air quality, addressing two core needs of the modern consumer.
With One-Touch Turbo Cooling, users can enjoy rapid comfort at the tap of a button. This function delivers powerful airflow instantly, allowing the unit to beat the heat in just 30 seconds. This rapid response ensures immediate relief and perfectly balanced indoor comfort for the family without delay.
The commitment to health is evident in the air purification capabilities. The air conditioner is equipped with a cutting-edge Multi-Functional Composite Filter. This filter establishes a powerful barrier against bacteria, actively suppressing their growth to deliver consistently cleaner, fresher air throughout the home. By capturing dust, particles, and impurities, it helps maintain a more hygienic indoor environment.
Optimized Operation and Technical Specifications
Beyond core features, the Philips Air Series Ab1 is packed with intelligent functions designed for optimized living. The Self Clean Technology automatically cleans the evaporator, preventing dust and buildup for consistently fresh and powerful airflow. The Sleep Mode ensures a perfect night’s rest by operating whisper-quietly and intelligently adjusting to both body and room temperature. Additionally, the Automatic Vertical Louver Swing, activated by the “Comfort Air” function, automatically sweeps airflow left and right, ensuring customized and balanced cooling reaches every corner of the room.
The Inverter models, which feature High-Efficiency Full DC Inverter technology, provide faster cooling, demonstrably higher efficiency, and lower energy consumption, with models achieving 4★ or 5★ Energy Ratings. For example, the 1.5 HP Inverter model (FAC12CB Ab1KBA2H) boasts a high CSPF of $5.23\text{ Btu/h/W}$ and a starting launch promo price of RM1,699 (Delivery Only).
The non-Inverter models, while still incorporating many of the core features like Self Clean and Turbo Cooling, offer a more cost-effective solution with a $3\star$ Energy Rating. The 1 HP Non-Inverter model (FAN09FB Ab1CBA2H) begins at a launch promo price of RM1,199 (Delivery Only). All units are backed by a 3-year General Warranty and a 10-year Compressor Warranty.
