Official AC Thread for Buying Air Conditioners

[smaaz]

so in short spending double the money to get dc inverter ac is worth it ?

 

[Mian Sahab]

Was it 1.5 Tons Inverter AC?

We have 4 Orient Inverter AC's. Each AC is 1.5 tons. I had the current checked on every AC and it was around 4 A mostly. When you turn on the AC, it starts at 6 A and then starts dropping after a while to 4 A.

After much consideration got a Kenwood 1204s 12000btu

and by any chance if you have measured its comsumption?

Anyone else have experience with kenwood Inverters?

Stop buying inverters. Biggest consumer fraud !! Although my orient is working great but nothing has changed . my cousin has gree made for uae inverter nothing has changed with him either. No change in bills no energy save. Less cooling compared to conventional Ac. Despite what anyone here will say please take your analysis elsewhere. Get a normal Ac , lasts 10+ years with nominal repairs. Inverter will rape you in repairs and will never last long.

I have Haier inverter AC 1.5 ton, which they claim is full inverter AC, and my bill has literally been halved while having more usage. My previous LG AC (1 ton) was using 1.5 KW (checked using a watt meter). Haier is using 2 KW at start for around 20 minutes then slowly drops to about 400-600 watts when setpoint temperature is reached and sometimes to even 50 or so watts. I set my temparature to 26 C. I guess when outside and inside temps are same the AC completely shuts off the compressor resulting in 50 watts. Also, I used my previous AC for ~10-12 hours and I use this AC for ~16-18 hours.

Don't know why others are not getting the savings. Inverter ACs have to be continuously on for long for savings to kick in.

Inverter AC recommendation

I'm looking at two Inverter AC's, Mitsubishi 1.5 Ton (85k) and Panasonic 1.5 Ton (95k). Any ideas? There are no reviews but I'm really leaning towards an inverter AC this time around. It has to be a imported brand, none of the local ones.

 

[bravoguy]

Also check Hitachi series very good and performing.

Can any one please guide me about portable Air Conditioner. I have seen few japanese AC on olx. I am not sure which one to buy and about their quality.

I am looking for Indoor Air Conditioner.

no, will ask, i have a 14 by 12 room so one ton will be not enough ?

 

[paradigm]

ok... well i don't think so, one ton may be under powered for that room size, 1.5 is ideal, though I think 1.25 ton is also available in some models of gree.

I want to know if there is really some cost-saving in Inverter AC? Comparatively, if there is 1ton normal AC and a 1ton inverter AC, how much is the saving in terms of electricity bills.

Also, if someone has an idea about this, please share....

- how much it costs per hour to run a normal 1ton AC
- how much it costs per hour to run an inverter AC

 

[paradigm]

Though i don't have any personal experience with an inverter ac but from what i have heard from different ppl, it saves in terms of electricity bills only if used for longer hours.

Price for gree 1 ton is 49.5k and 1.5ton is 70k, one shop recommend me a pel ac with 10 year compressor warranty
it looks gree inverter is best but 1.5 ton is quite expensive, I m thinking of haier 1.5 for 56.5k. Also asked Mitsubishi but it's not available easily and 1.5t cost like 90k, I was also searching for Mitsubishi Mr slim, as I seen its quite efficient and cooling is amazing, my ant has a room like 16*13 and it cools it faster and bill is also low but now not available

70k for 1.5 ton is expensive! PEL is also a good & old brand! Yes Mitsubishi is the best and that's why its expensive and not easily available in the market. Check with Nizar Electronics, they have updated list available on their Facebook page for various ACs and among that list 1.5 ton Mr. Slim is listed for Rs.66,000. I've also heard that Gree Lomo series is quiet good, you might wanna check that out too!

so i researched more and found one shop who actually knows my uncle so he recommended me gree 1.5ton and in 2nd no he recommend gree lomo series which he says comes to 4 amps, than he said get pel 1.5ton with 10 year compresser warranty, its amps goes down to like 3amp and even more if we use it contineously. so i m thinking of going for pel, as he is a reliable guy and said if cooling performance are not good of pel he will replace it. he also placed kenwood and haier as a 5th and 6th option
