About AUX
AUX is a Chinese manufacturing giant that entered the US HVAC market in 2024. Founded in 1986 in Ningbo, China, AUX Group generates over $10 billion in annual revenue and ranks among the top three air conditioning manufacturers in China. The company operates 15 manufacturing bases worldwide - including facilities in Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, Poland, Germany, and Mexico - and sells in 150+ countries.
AUX's US product lineup focuses on mini-split systems, multi-zone inverter units, and ducted systems. The company positions itself on value - delivering features like inverter compressors, Wi-Fi connectivity, and SEER ratings above 20 at prices below established brands. AUX has specifically designed systems for single-person installation, targeting the US labor shortage in HVAC trades.
As a newer entrant to the American market, AUX lacks the dealer network and service infrastructure of established brands. For homeowners considering AUX equipment, the main tradeoff is lower upfront cost versus a thinner support ecosystem. Cold-climate performance data for US conditions is still limited compared to brands like Mitsubishi or Fujitsu that have operated here for decades.
UniColorado specializes in cold-climate heat pump installations across Denver and the Front Range, with expertise in systems proven for Colorado's altitude and extreme temperature swings.
