Window type aircon (inverter)

**dishcom** · November 5th, 2015 01:32 AM

Ok ang split type kung bawal mag butas ng malaki sa wall or gusto mo midyo elegant ang room. Then tahimik na aircon. Japan ata ang hitachi..
.
Ito ang problem sa split type. Mas mahal ang cleaning, pag nasira e home service then posible hindi 1 shot ang gawaan. Hindi mo agad mapapalitan pag nag luluko na.. remember ang inverter midyo sirain than non inverter. Marami kasi siyang sensor at electronic control.
.
Sa opinion ko, window type inverter ang the best. DIY ang cleaning if matutunan mo, mas matibay kasi asa isang box lahat ng parts, pag nasira pwd mo tangalin at dalhin mismo sa service center.
.
Ok naman ang kolin sa tingin ko.. ang carrier parang hindi na daw maganda ngayon plus ang mahal maningil sa service at parts.

Just like electricity rates, so payback of inverter types take longer. Pano kung bumigay before the payback?

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.

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.

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

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.

window or split?
pasyalan mo na lang itong thread na ito... it will help you decide which one to get.

brands? kung ako papipiliin, carrier pa rin. subok na sa mga conventional types, malamang sa hindi,
maaasahan din ang mga inverter types. medyo pricey lang talaga (service and parts).
maganda ang reviews ng mga Panasonic, cheaper pa... kung sakali, ito ang susunod na bibilhin ko.

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.
