Window type aircon (inverter)

**essjei55** · May 21st, 2018 01:48 AM

I am planning to buy 1hp inverter aircon. Any suggestions anong brand maganda at sang store maganda bumili?

Basta subok na matibay, ayos lang kung medyo mahal.

so it would appear, that build quality may be the issue and not its inverter-ness.

Most complaints have to do with fried lizard.

perhaps the complainants that have nothing to do with fried lizards, are not boisterous enough?

A 0.5/0.6 HP aircon will have to be working 100% almost all the time to cool a room compared to a 1.0 HP aircon ... really depends on the room size ... too large an aircon might make it uncomfortable at night because too much power ...

A 1 HP aircon might be able to cool a 22 square meter room when it is still brand new and conditions are favorable ... but when it is older and the weather is extremely hot, it will not be running efficiently ... we replaced a 1 HP to a 1.5 HP and the electric consumption was almost same or lower ...

Air conditioner guidelines should be in cubic meters instead of square meters ...

if i have to choose, i prefer an over-powered aircon over an under-powered aircon.
i can lower its thermostat setting or turn it off.

Same here. This summer i noticed that the A/C compressor in our room with "sakto lang" A/Cs have not been disengaging. I'd rather get an inverter type then up it by 0.5hp.

We don't have actual data to confirm durability or non durability among the brands. Of course, the only ones complaining are those with problems. What percentage do they comprise of?

I've read a complaint stating that they would never buy this brand any more because of durability issues. Only to find out the real cause was the fried lizard. Their solution was to buy a different brand. LOL!

Also, customer negligence. During a brownout, did they pull the plug to protect from power surges? Have they grounded it properly? Did they check the voltage whether it's fluctuates from 220v to 190v? Did they follow periodic maintenance? Are they cleaning the filters regularly? Things like these can and will shorten the life of the product if not properly addressed.
