Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

[kkreuk18]

I noticed some technicians and salesmen are a bit OA in my opinion when it comes to HP needed. Before I bought our AC the salesman asked for our floor area. He then said I needed a 1.5HP (which is the one I had in mind of getting), but suggested a 2HP to be safe. I thought it was overkill (and overbudget too). He said technicians may refuse to install and may void the warranty if they deem the area too big. I said, "eh di antayin na lang natin kung ayaw, isoli ko for a refund". He also suggested I a 2HP but non-inverter type, mas mabilis daw lumamig para tipid, which I refused as I felt he was pushing old, inefficient and likely non-selling items.

When the technicians came they also began measuring the floor area, and also warned me that I was I at their boundary (only less than 2sqm from their max limit). But they installed anyway. In reality, the room is now quite cold even when the AC is set at 24C.

Kahit ako palaging mas malaki kinukuha ko sa required hp para hindi pwersado at mas matibay at tipid sa kuryente

Naku yan din ang sinabi sakin.. Ma-void daw ang warranty if mag-install ako ng lower HP sa recommended nila.. Not sure kung naloko na naman ako.. Hahahahahaha [emoji23] hirap talaga kapag walang alam.. 2.5HP tuloy nabili ko..
Napa-check ako photos.. 2 years na pala.. April 18, 2018 ko nabili.. from window-type nag-split-type inverter kami.. based sa electric bill namin, after 2 years balik puhunan na.. Pero di pa bawi.. From almost Php 10k na 12 hours lang ang gamit sa window type.. Php 2.5-4.5K na lang ang bill namin na 21 hours or minsan walang patayan tapos buong bahay na pwera kusina (buti na lang maliit din bahay namin [emoji28])..

Nilinisan ko lang muna mga filter pero medyo madumi na rin yung coils.

Re:
Inverter vs non inverter, too soon to tell if durability will be the same, but in theory the compressor and other mechanical parts should last longer. The Jap brands are good. Just stay away from Samsung.

Our floor standing 4hp Sharp AC conked out after around 9 years. Instead of having it repaired, since it was old we replaced it with a 3 hp Daikin inverter. We are saving around 2-3 thousand pesos on electricity with the same usage. Both ACs were the recommended size by the technicians.

Ni-vacuum ko mga coils ng mga A/C ewan ko kung nakatulong saka bumili ako sa True value nun foam spray sa coils pang linis daw.

For inverter, get the next higher available. The first 1-2 hours is not different from regular vs inverter aircon. Its on the 3rd hour you start getting the savings.

The faster the room cools, the faster you benefit from the inverter kasi maintenance of temperature na lang ang running cost nya which only uses about 30-40% electricity.

Hinde yan ang dahilan baka talaga meron na kalawang yun fins sa gilid-gilid tapos pag spray mo malakas talag cleaning agent kaya naalis yun kalawang.

Ang dapat linisin sa AC ay yung evaporator at condenser radiator, thru pressurised water pump.
