Split Air Conditioner Supplier for Nigeria
WNOTECH AIR supplies split air conditioners to importers and distributors in Nigeria — 220V / 50Hz units built for tropical conditions, with anti-corrosion coil protection for Lagos and Port Harcourt coastal air, OEM/ODM private label for your own brand, and export documentation prepared for Nigerian customs. We ship from China to Apapa, Tin Can Island, Port Harcourt and Onne.
Why split AC for Nigeria needs its own specification
A unit that performs well in a European or Middle Eastern showroom does not automatically survive a Lagos installation. Three conditions decide the specification before price does:
- • Coastal corrosion. Lagos and Port Harcourt combine humidity above 85% with salt-laden air, which corrodes unprotected condenser coils and shortens unit life. Coastal orders need coated fins, a galvanised powder-coated casing and galvanised fasteners.
- • Inland heat and dust. Kano and the northern belt add dust and daytime peaks above 40C to the load, so filters must be easy to clean and the outdoor unit needs protection from dust ingress.
- • Grid stability. Voltage dips outside the main commercial districts stress the compressor and the control board. A wide-voltage platform (198-242V) with automatic restart after a power cut is the practical answer, and a voltage protector is cheaper than an electronic board.

Which models do Nigerian distributors order?
- • WN-EL12K Elegance Inverter — 12,000 BTU inverter, the volume SKU for Lagos apartments and offices
- • WN-AL09K Allure Fixed Speed — 9,000 BTU entry price point for price-sensitive retail
- • WN-PL18K Premium Inverter — 18,000 BTU for living rooms and small offices
- • WN-FG24K Forge Cassette — 24,000 BTU cassette for hotels, restaurants and shops
- • WN-FG36K Forge Floor — 36,000 BTU floor-ceiling for halls and reception areas
Keep one platform across the container: a single spare-parts set then covers every capacity, which is the practical way to hold after-sales cost down. Spare boards, capacitors, NTC sensors, fan motors and controllers ship with the order when listed on the packing list.
Ports, transit time and container load
Most containers enter through Apapa or Tin Can Island in Lagos; Port Harcourt and Onne serve the south-east. Sea transit from Chinese ports such as Xiamen, Fuzhou and Guangzhou runs approximately 35-45 days to Lagos.
For volume planning, a 40ft high-cube carries roughly 750 units of 12,000 BTU wall-mounted split — confirm the figure for your exact model and packing, because carton size changes the count. Mixed-model loading is standard practice for a first container: several capacities in one shipment lets a distributor test the market without committing a full container to a single SKU.
Documents Nigerian customs requires: Form M, PAAR and SON
Nigerian imports require the importer to open Form M with their bank before shipment, and the PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report) is issued on arrival. A product specification sheet feeds the SON documentation file. We issue the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin with identical model codes, capacities and refrigerant on every line, so your clearing agent is not reconciling three different descriptions at the port. If your agent needs a specific document format or an additional declaration, tell us at quotation stage — documents are prepared before the container leaves, not after it arrives.
OEM/ODM: your brand on the unit, the carton and the manual
Private label is the reason most Nigerian distributors come to a factory rather than a trading company. Panel colour, logo, rating label, carton artwork and the user manual can all carry your brand, and the manual can be supplied in English for the Nigerian market. Minimum order for a private-label run is 100 units per model. Send your artwork and the capacities you plan to list, and we confirm what is feasible at that volume before you commit.
FAQ: importing split air conditioners into Nigeria
How do I get a wholesale quotation for split air conditioners in Nigeria?
Send four details by WhatsApp or email: the models or capacities you need (9K, 12K, 18K or 24K BTU), the quantity per model, your destination city, and whether you want your own brand. You receive an FOB or CIF Lagos quotation with technical specifications within 24 working hours.
What voltage do split air conditioners use in Nigeria?
Nigeria runs on 220V / 50Hz. Every unit we supply for Nigeria is configured at the factory for that voltage, with a wide-voltage platform (198-242V) for areas where the grid fluctuates.
What is the minimum order quantity for split AC in Nigeria?
The minimum order is 100 units per model. Several models and capacities can be combined in one 40'HQ container, so a distributor can test multiple SKUs in a single shipment.
Which documents must be ready before a container ships to Lagos?
The importer opens Form M with their bank before shipment, the PAAR is issued on arrival, and the product specification sheet feeds the SON documentation file. We issue the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin with identical model codes, capacities and refrigerant so the clearing agent can match them line by line.
How long does sea freight from China to Lagos take?
Transit from Chinese ports such as Xiamen, Fuzhou and Guangzhou to Lagos runs approximately 35-45 days. Most containers enter through Apapa or Tin Can Island; Port Harcourt and Onne serve the south-east.
Which split air conditioner suits Lagos coastal humidity?
Specify a T3 tropical outdoor unit with anti-corrosion coated coils and a galvanised, powder-coated casing. Lagos and Port Harcourt combine very high humidity with salt-laden air, which shortens the life of unprotected condenser coils. Inland cities such as Kano add dust and daytime peaks above 40C, so easy-clean filters and a protected outdoor unit matter there.
