Window type aircon (inverter)

[vinj]

Yes, at its current pricing, you are just paying forward your savings in electricity, much like the hybrid cars. Whereas before you benefit from the gas savings from hybrid cars after 5 years, it is much longer now because gas has come down from 50s to 40s. Just like electricity rates, so payback of inverter types take longer. Pano kung bumigay before the payback?

Previous bill ko non inverter aircon.. 1hp 8 hours per day on weekdays--- and 8hours per day din on weekdends-- umaabot ng 7-8.5kper month

With an inverter aircon 1.5hp min. 12hours on weekdays and almost 24hours on weekends meralco bill ko nasa 4.3.4.6k Lang per month...

Savings ko nasa 3.5k din per month...

In a year Lang bawi ko na... Pinag bile ko sa aircon...

Payback is quicker because the AC is used more often. You also have to consider the condition of the previous A/C. With our house before, i replaced an old .75hp window type (non inverter) with a new .75hp (non inverter) so these were both with the same spec but with the new one in use at night the electricity bill still went down considerably.

If usage is 20 hours a day, then payback is definitely shorter. But for a 1hp conventional AC at 8 hours daily, I don't get how the electric bill would go up to around 8k/month. I use two 0.75hp units 8 hours daily and my maximum bill was 4.5k last June * P11/kwh. My recent bill was 2.9k * P9/kwh. At P11/kwh it still would only amount to just 3.4k, at 40% savings that's just 1.3k/month for me. But then my bill includes ref and other appliances. I also cook using electricity. I'll wait for my units to conk out and hope that inverter units are the norm by that time.

True. In my old home, we run a couple of .75 hps (1 unit 5 days a week for approx 7-8 hours, another unit for 7 days a week for approx 7-8 hours as well) plus a huge old refrigerator and my bill is consistently at 3-4K monthly.

Matipid Sir Glenn. Halos 40%-50% ibinaba ng monthly electric bill ko compared to using a conventional window type AC. Php 27k bili ko

Yung recent visit ko sa Mega Mall, parang mas mura na ang window type inverter.

Kolin 1hp window type inverter ay Php25K na lang. Salpak na lang yan ang walang installation fee kung kakasya sa existing butas nyo. Mejo malaki kasi ang units na ito.

Thinking aloud here.

Ballpark cost of electricity per 1HP window-type aircon per month is P2,000

Cost of AC unit (inverter type)=P25,000; conventional type = P15,000

Delta = P10,000

If indeed 50% reduction in electric bill; then savings per month = P1,000

ROI = 10 months,- not bad.

So, I guess for inefficient old ACs,- 5 years and above, resulting to > P2,000 electric bill per month,- time to switch to the inverter-type AC.

kung night time lang ang gamit eh talagang mas mababa ang electric bill kasi 9:00 pm start ng off peak mas less charge per kilowatt.
