    OT mga sirs, but the Condura 0.75hp non inverter window ac I just bought has difficulty cooling our 10.5sqm room within 2 hours at night with the thermostat set at 75%. I am comparing this to our Carrier 0.6hp non inverter window ac, which it replaced, which can cool our room within 2 hours at even 50% thermostat level.

    The thing is, the authorized tech said that the ac is cooling normally since it can achieve 18C in 15 minutes at full thermostat setting. What could be my problem?

    I just got an LG 1.5hp window inverter unit to replace a problematic 1hp Carrier non-inverter model.

    errr...what was the problem with the 1 hp non-inverter carrier, po?
    in my experience, these basic (?) units are easy to fix, kasi.

    In a span of 6 months, it had these issues:
    1: developed a freon leak, which required servicing (solder leak + replace freon)
    2: busted capacitor (according to aircon tech) which had to be replaced
    3: timer sporadically stops working

    I figured it's less hassle to just replace it, and at the same time save on my electric bill by getting an inverter unit.

    Edit: the Carrier unit is 4 years old na. I already had it fixed, and placed in storage just in case one of our other ACs get busted, para may pang-emergency replacement.

    Yes Doc, for the Condura, it says 12.0 EER with cooling cap of 7,000 kJ/hr and 585 watts power input. I probably already threw away the one for the Carrier.

    But I saw, one of my old Condura same model and it says 10.3 EER with cooling cap of 7,400 kJ/hr and 718 watts input.

    Are they bringing down the specs purposely or is it because of the change in refrigerant? I'm guessing, my old unit uses R22.

    i had an old kelvinator 0.75 hp. window-type, installed brand new, some years back.
    for some reason, it also just could not cool my 10 sqm room enough.
    fortunately, my office had an ancient 2 hp carrier, that they were condemning because the new units had arrived.

    "now, if i were not careful in making adjustments, i'd need a sweater..."

    Recently bought Panasonic 1hp Inverter Aircon CW-XS108VPH. Price was 27,900 in cash sa Welcome Home Appliances San Juan compare sa price ni SM na 31,499. Hopefully, di naman masyado masakit sa bulsa yung electric bill ko.

    galing ka sa anong size ng AC? and room size?
    in most cases kasi, mas OK i-oversize ang inverter AC
