Looking at the KYC-26C/B7-FC for your home?
This is the whole appliance. The opening it sits in decides most of what can be fitted.
What to pin down before you commit
- The opening dimensions, measured — not assumed from the old unit
- Whether the existing bracket and surround are being reused
- How the drainage is routed, and where the water goes
- Removal and disposal of the unit coming out
Figures are NEA energy-label records checked 17 Sept 2026, priced at the label's 27¢/kWh assumption. Your own bill depends on how you actually use it. Compare every registered model, or read more on Shinco systems. Common aircon problems have their own pages.
Shinco KYC-26C/B7-FC questions
Is the Shinco KYC-26C/B7-FC the right size for my room?
The NEA register lists it at 2.49 kW of cooling capacity. Match that against the room's size and heat load rather than assuming one capacity suits every room, and have the installer confirm it before the unit is chosen.
What does the 2-tick rating on the KYC-26C/B7-FC mean?
The NEA energy label rates it 2 of 5 green ticks. That sits in the lower part of the scale, so higher-rated units of the same size use less energy under the label test — check the same-size comparisons on this page.
What kind of aircon is the KYC-26C/B7-FC?
It is a casement unit, listed at 2.49 kW on the register, a single box mounted in a wall opening rather than a split pair. The opening dimensions and drainage route decide the installation.
Is the Shinco KYC-26C/B7-FC still on the NEA register?
Yes. Its registration runs to 25 August 2029, more than four months after the 17 September 2026 snapshot this page is built from.
How efficient is the KYC-26C/B7-FC at part load?
The register does not list a part-load COP for the Shinco KYC-26C/B7-FC, but it records a full-load COP of 3.85. That figure only describes efficiency when the unit runs at full output.
