Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

[dr. d]

Naka rekta sa breaker ba indoor unit mo? Surprising na walang plug ang mga bagong Split type wire lang na pwede lagyan ng plug

"universal precaution" siguro.
hindi alam ni manufacturer kung anong klase plug ang prevailing model sa area ng costumer.

Up to 1.5Hp pwede na 15-20A aircon outlet, beyond that use separate breaker with gauge 12 wires. 5Tr 30Amps breaker and gauge 10

for some small window units it is ok. But im installing a window type. Magbubutas and all, id do the recommended installation.

Window or cabinet or cassette-type?

Most splits 1.5hp and below are corded, the outdoor unit is connected on the indoor unit' electric panel board. I guess since they are inverters, the sudden inrush current is prevented so they do not require heavy wires.

i'm a believer in "over-engineering", if i can help it.
it equates to less problems in the future.

The a/c kasi is for my kids online school room so the existing outlets will be used for their computers - 1 desk top, 3 laptops, 1 printer. Tapping the a/c into that line will surely create voltage fluctuations. Another is that the breaker that is connected to is only 15A. Also since the main breaker is just on the other side of the concrete wall it was just a simple matter of drilling a hole and adding a separate surface mounted breaker direct to the incoming Meralco lines. This also does not add to the load of the main breaker. DIY ko lang naman so no added labor cost to the installation.

The unit was not corded. They did provided 10 feetx2 of #14 wire for connecting to the acu.

Bakit mataas price ni relative? Sometimes my relatives take advantage of me. Uutang walang bayaran. Bebenta taga presyo. Sometimes i oblige when the need is legit. Now, i am also in need.

Dahil nag-start na ang online schooling ng 2 kids ko, our bedroom gets converted to both classroom and WFH office during the day.

Dati, we just use the AC when going to bed but now pag gising namin i-o-off muna ang AC for about an hour or 2 while we have breakfast downstairs then turn on ulit pag start na ng classes at work. Pag tapos na ang classes at around 5PM, we turn it off. We turn it on again pag bedtime na (around 8PM).

Mas makakatipid ba sa kuryente kung iwan na lang always on ang AC? May big impact ba sa longevity ng unit kung wala nang patayan?

AC is a 3-month old 1 HP Daikin inverter.
