Ill ask the LG service how much these expensive boards are. Im kinda curious how expensive these are. I need a vacuum brush for my lg vac anyways.

5-8k for 30k 1HP unit seems fine
12k-18k is stupid. Means a new unit is called for.

Be aware that inverter a/c's uses a variable speed compressor, you should ask how much is it kung sakali.
Inverter technology vary the speed of motor as per needed, and during start up. Traditional aircon just start and stop its compressor motor as per dictate of thermostat, and during the start process motor create an inrush current making its rated full load ampere shoot up to 600% (ex. 10A x 6 = 60 ampere).
While, inverter technolgy lessen down the starting current from 250% ~ 450% (ex. 10 x 2.5 = 25A ampere) depends every brand. The lesser the current needed means, lower electrical bill.
Yun nga lang, you have to pay for the technology itself kaya mas mahal. You have to have a monthly PM's sa unit, electronic board itself should not be exposed to a higher ambient temperature continuously.

If you can maintain it without major problem encountered in 5 years, sulit na!

Ang inverter ay mahal pero matipid if gagamitin ng tama. Dapat sukat ang hp sa size ng room at maganda ang pagka sarado ng room para hindi lumabas ang lamig. Kung gagamitin mo ang inverter at non inverter sa isang malaking or open area masasabi ko na pareho lang sila ng kunsumo dahil mag sisimula lang ang tipid ng inverter pag lumamig ang room at papabagalin niya ang takbo ng compressor..
.
Kung patibayan ang usapan. Masasabi ko na mas matibay ang non inveter dahil wala siyang pcb board na senstive sa basa or init..

If you will use it continuously and it covers a larger room go for inverter type. But if it is to be use in a smaller room and seasonal or occasionally, go for the traditional one specially " windows type". This type of a/c is very reliable over split types, it can go 20 years with only cleaning maintainance. Not like split types, whereas most common problems is the rolling fans on the evaporator unit and pcb's. Pag ang bearing or sleeve housing nasira sa evaporator side madalas non repairable na, wala ka naman mabiling evaporator unit lang (indoor unit of split types).

What about window type inverter foe a small room?

Ito rin sana gusto ko kaso Hitachi lang yata meron, and uber expensive even compared to top of the line inverter split types.

Marami na ngayong inverter na window type. I saw a kolin, a panasonic and a new brand na hindi popular.

Got the new Carrier 1.5HP inverter earlier, but was able to have it install, sabi ng mag iinstall, i need to install a mini roof raw sa likod ng A/C ko, kasi naarawan, sabi ko twing hapon lang naman lumilipat yung sun light sa area kung san a/c is located, sabi niya pag wala raw bubong...madali masira dahil naarawan at open sa ulan...ang daming arte pala nitong inverter nato...

good thing maayos naman kausap nung shop...sabi ko, palitan ko nalang ng non inverter then bayad nalang ako ng 300 ulit for the delivery charge.

naka save pako ng 12000 pesos for switching back to non inverter A/C.

I think the Manufacturer of this technologies should make their units more resistant from sun and rain.

If it is window type, it is better.

Kung pang kwarto. Mahusay talaga pag inverter ang kinuha dahil tuloy tuloy ang lamig. Hindi tulad ng non inverter na patay sindi ang lamig pag na set na mababang temp.... ang maganda lang sa window type inverter pag nasira pwd mo dalhin na agad sa service center.. ang pangit lang talaga sa window type ay yung ingay niya at design sa bahay.
