How fast do I get a split AC quotation for the Bahamas?

Send the models or capacities you need, the quantity per model, the destination island and whether you want your own brand. We return an FOB or CIF quotation with technical specifications within 24 business hours. Samples are available before your first container.

What is the minimum order for the Bahamas?

The minimum order is 100 units per model. Several models and capacities can be combined in one 40'HQ container, which keeps a first Bahamas container flexible for hotels, apartments and commercial interiors at the same time.

Which ports receive split AC containers in the Bahamas?

Nassau (New Providence) and Freeport (Grand Bahama) carry the container trade; Family Island destinations such as Exuma, Abaco, Eleuthera, Bimini and Andros usually add an inter-island leg after the ocean crossing. Confirm routing, feedering schedules and local handling with a licensed freight forwarder, and ask a customs broker for a written estimate of duties, levies and processing fees — published figures are not a quotation.

Bahamas Market

Split Air Conditioner Supplier for the Bahamas

Q: What voltage do split air conditioners use in the Bahamas?

The Bahamas runs on 120V / 60Hz with type A and B sockets, the North American standard, so units must be ordered in that version — the compressor, electronic board and transformer follow the voltage you specify. For larger commercial equipment we also supply 240V split-phase or three-phase versions. Export platforms built for 50Hz only run roughly 20 percent faster on a 60Hz grid, so we quote models declared 50-60Hz.

Q: Are the units specified for hurricane season and salt air?

Specification lines matter more than the catalogue here: wind-rated mounting with galvanised or stainless brackets and fasteners, corrosion-resistant fin coating plus galvanised chassis and hardware for salt spray, and for grid restoration after a storm, low-inrush DC inverter starting, auto restart and surge protection. The WN-EL12K is declared at 198-242V / 50-60Hz, which keeps it running through the voltage dips that shut down a narrowly rated unit.

WNOTECH AIR is an exporter and OEM partner in China specializing in split air conditioners for the Bahamian market. The Bahamas runs on 120V / 60Hz with type A and B sockets, so we quote units in the North American electrical version — with 50-60Hz declared models, corrosion-resistant coils for salt air and a T3 option, plus OEM/ODM support for importers and distributors in Nassau, Freeport and the Family Islands.

Bahamas quotation in 24 hours

Send four details and we prepare the offer: the models or capacities you need (9K, 12K, 18K, 24K or 36K BTU), the quantity per model, the destination island and whether you want your own brand. You receive an FOB or CIF quotation with technical specifications, packaging and production lead time.

What voltage do air conditioners use in the Bahamas?

The Bahamas runs on 120V / 60Hz, the North American standard — not the 220-240V / 50Hz most export platforms are built for. The version has to be fixed at quotation, because compressor, electronic board and transformer follow the voltage you order. State the supply you will actually meet in the building: 120V single phase for small units, 240V split phase or three phase for larger commercial equipment. Frequency matters as much: a compressor declared for 50Hz only runs roughly 20 percent faster at 60Hz, so we quote models declared 50-60Hz. Nameplate, invoice and packing list must show the same voltage version and the same refrigerant.

Hurricane season and salt air: what to specify

Between June and November the question is not comfort but survival: an outdoor unit is a heavy box on a bracket, and it has to stay there. Resilience is a specification line, not an accessory.

• Mounting, not just installation — galvanised or stainless brackets with wind-rated fasteners; check the wall, not only the unit.
• Coastal coil protection — salt spray attacks aluminium and copper: specify corrosion-resistant fin coating, galvanised chassis and galvanised hardware. IP24 is a water and dust rating, not a corrosion treatment.
• Power after the storm — grid restoration can lag, so low-inrush DC inverter starting, auto restart and surge protection matter more here than in a mainland market, especially where the unit shares a generator.

Island group	Conditions	What to specify
New Providence (Nassau, Paradise Island)	Dense hotel and apartment demand, coastal salt	9K-24K inverter, corrosion coating, quiet indoor units for guest rooms
Grand Bahama (Freeport)	Container port and industrial park, coastal exposure	12K-36K, cassette and floor standing for commercial interiors
Family Islands (Exuma, Abaco, Eleuthera, Bimini, Andros)	Longer supply line, limited service reach	One repeatable platform, spares in the same shipment, easy filter access
Whole country, June to November	Hurricane season, outages, generator backup	Wind-rated mounting, surge protection, low-inrush inverter, auto restart

Cargo to Nassau, Freeport and the Family Islands

Nassau on New Providence and Freeport on Grand Bahama carry the container trade; Family Island destinations usually add an inter-island leg after the ocean crossing, so routing and feedering schedules are confirmed with a licensed freight forwarder before production is booked. Buy by the full container: a 40'HQ takes 292 sets of the 12K wall-mounted platform according to the WN-EL12K data sheet, so confirm the loading figure per model and packaging with our sales team — in an island market empty space is paid for twice. Invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin must show identical model codes, capacities and refrigerant, and duties, levies and processing fees should come from a customs broker as a written estimate.

What is the minimum order?

100 units per model, combinable in one 40'HQ container.

Yes — wind-rated mounting, corrosion-resistant coil protection, galvanised chassis and hardware, plus low-inrush inverter starting, auto restart and surge protection for post-storm grid conditions.

Which ports receive the containers?

Nassau and Freeport carry the container trade; Family Islands usually add an inter-island leg. Confirm routing and duties with a licensed forwarder and customs broker.
