Window type aircon (inverter)

[maki mi]

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.

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.

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.
