    What is a good brand for ceiling type aircon these days? Panasonic, Carrier, Koppel, Kolin? Need 5-6 tons 3-phase ceiling mounted aircon. We are going to replace Panasonic 15 year old 5 ton ceiling type aircons. Currently have 6 units, intend to replace 2-3 initially. Carrier is the more expensive one, Koppel seems to have quality issues a decade ago, how is it doing now? Panasonic is in between. No idea on Kolin quality or pricing. Please give suggestions. Thank you.

    I'd consider Panasonic and Carrier. Don't even think of LG (these are the old units we had a the office and they were really terrible.

    We started using Koppel now in the office but these are all less than a year old so i cannot comment yet on the longevity but my overall impression of Koppel is that they're okay.

    La pong idea sa commercial grade appliance, but we've been quite happy with Panasonic and Carrier.

    What i can say with confidence is, hindi maganda yung Idec na brand. i have this notion what when it comes to air conditioning, it's best to get the one that were built here, since kabisado ng manufacturer yung environment natin.

    Eto po ba yung square na nakaembed sa ceiling? Di po kaya mahirap iservice pag me sira?

    York.

    I replaced my window type AC's (3) sa bahay recently with split type York's (1 hp each). So far, so good, no quality issues

    Re: Price ... it should be cheaper than Carrier, but more expensive than the others.

    Re. York, I remember the store pushing this to me before. They were pointing out the A/C compressor and stuff was not China (?).

    That's the cassette type sir. My only concern with cassette type is that it easily gets clog and leak.

    inquire din nyo ang Hitachi. my supplier told me na assembled in subic parts from Japan and Taiwan. 1 year pa lang yung mga nabili ko na window type but so far no problem naman. They have higher cooling capacity than the rest na tiningan ko na air con.

    We use McQuay water cooled chillers. They are good machines. After sales service is not so good. Parts are expensive. Good thing had very little problems even after 15 years.

    I wont recommend McQuay 5tr. Had 3 units before, they all dead.

    Meron ibang mall na piston type compressor dx chillers pa rin ang ginagamit that are now converting to dunham bush ice thermal mas tipid kasi sa kuryente.

    Thank you guys. Will check out York and Trane. Pricing is:
    Koppel + 5T = Panasonic + 5T = Carrier

Suggest 5 ton ceiling aircon for commercial use?
