Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

[shadow]

Got inspired and hosed down the outdoor unit of our 9-month-old 2.5hp Panasonic. It was under cover inside the garage so I didn't expect it to be very dirty but no. May bits of Taal pang sumama. The water that drained out was black for a long time. Will just clean the indoor unit's filters for the meantime habang wala pa akong cleaning cover.

Now figuring out kung abot ang hose sa 2nd floor balcony for the 2hp Panasonic's outdoor unit.

Outdoor unit mabilis lang eh. Yuh indoor unit ang provblema.

Any thoughts on the Haier brand? Already got a Koppel, but my parents also wanted a unit but the store doesn't have any stock left, and offered this instead.

I just cleaned mine yesterday. Two units... LG 2.5HP and a Samsung 1.5HP inverter splits.

Equipment list: Pressure washer, an A/C cleaning cover, a water hose, a bucket and a 3-step A-ladder. I have my kids as helpers.

Saved at least 3k. Wala pang nabasag na clips or bent evaporator fins. Walang malasakit karamihan ng mga commercial cleaners.

thanks for sharing bro... did you disassembled the indoor unit? meron bang nabibili na AC cleaning cover?

Madami sa Lazada para diretso yun tubig sa bucket, pero mahirap pa rin dahil pressurre washer gagamitin. Kakatakot lalo na sa akin na kahoy and floor.

Hassle nga talaga sa cleaning. Buti naayos na nung huling nagservice sa kin un tulo, inayos un pagkaka anggulo ng drain. Complete pull down ng indoor unit ang pinagawa ko, 9yrs old na kasi un carrier. Ayun balik sa parang brand new naman un performance, 5k nga lang bayad.
Ok lang na ganun kasi un regular cleaning naman ako na ang gumagawa. Madami din pinakita sa kin na maling ginawa nung installer. Kaya tingin ko sulit naman un 5k

Hinde din. That's why you hire professionals to do the cleaning for you.

The pros did good. They removed the front face, air swing, drain runner, and blower. The fins were cleaned using detergent powder and rinsed using a pressure washer. Everything was reassembled well with no extra screws or broken clips. Now the whole living room area is cold again with the temp set at 26C.

Cleaning the unit in the bedroom will be more of a challenge because space is at a premium and the outdoor unit is more difficult to get to. A job for the pros then.

basta po inverter tingin ko ok naman lahat ng aircon ngayon..

Pansonic dito sa bahay kasi meron Panasonic sa Taytay Rizal. Tested ko na after sales customer service nila.. Mababait at maayos kausap.. Kahit minsan ang concern ko lang ay tanong lang about sa product..

We also want to get an inverter type as our next ac as we've heard nothing but positive things about it from consumers. However every technician (Carrier) we've had over to clean our non-inverter split types have advised us against it. Mas mahal daw irepair kung masira daw unlike the non-inverter split types. Kung di rin daw tama ang horsepower na mabili mo, di ka rin daw makakasave porket inverter (duh? Hehe). I don't know if they only said that kasi baka mabawasan sila ng work dahil di naman sirain ang inverter.[emoji2369]

I noticed some technicians and salesmen are a bit OA in my opinion when it comes to HP needed. Before I bought our AC the salesman asked for our floor area. He then said I needed a 1.5HP (which is the one I had in mind of getting), but suggested a 2HP to be safe. I thought it was overkill (and overbudget too). He said technicians may refuse to install and may void the warranty if they deem the area too big. I said, "eh di antayin na lang natin kung ayaw, isoli ko for a refund". He also suggested I a 2HP but non-inverter type, mas mabilis daw lumamig para tipid, which I refused as I felt he was pushing old, inefficient and likely non-selling items.

When the technicians came they also began measuring the floor area, and also warned me that I was I at their boundary (only less than 2sqm from their max limit). But they installed anyway. In reality, the room is now quite cold even when the AC is set at 24C.

You also have to consider the heat sources in the room that the AC will cool. Window facing west? Kitchen with stove and fridge? Hyperactive kids? They all add up. An inverter does not make sense if the compressor is always maxed out.
