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.
For inverter, get the next higher available. The first 1-2 hours is not different from regular vs inverter aircon. Its on the 3rd hour you start getting the savings.

The faster the room cools, the faster you benefit from the inverter kasi maintenance of temperature na lang ang running cost nya which only uses about 30-40% electricity.
