Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

**yebo** · August 10th, 2020 10:40 PM

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.

Kapag regular aircon, yes tipid.

If using inverter, very minimal lang savings.

you can compare power meter readings. on days you swtich off vs days you run straight

switching it off for 1-2hrs won't reduce consumption that much. the heat generated will still be cooled by the AC after wards.

best thing to do is seal the doors and windows.

Better than the P41k i was quoted by a relative. Supportahan daw ang business ng kamaganak o kaibigan BUT NOT IF IT IS ON MY EXPENSE!

Bro, how's your samsung AC na bago?
Di naman maingay outdoor unit niya?

Observation ko lang medyo maingay yung outdoor unit ng new model na to compared sa mga lumang AC ko na Samsung din, which is from 8 years ago

BTT: tuwing kailan kayo nagppa general cleaning ng AC niyo?

Ok naman performance lalo na 14 square meters lang yung area mababa lang load kaya madali lang nya palamigin. Isa pa nilagyan ko ng insulation yung ceiling kaya minimized ang heat galing sa roof. Di naman maingay lalo na di continuous andar ng compressor.

Yung mga dating ac namin mga window type. May 2.5 hp, 2 hp saka 3/4 hp. Kami lang naglilinis once a year. Pero itong bago ipapalinis ko, mahirap maglinis ng split.

My friend who works in Samsung and has several Samsung aircons in their house that has failed on them. She doesn't recommend Samsung aircons even to us friends, kahit mura because of employee discount. Super sirain daw talaga Samsung aircons and there's a reason why they're cheap.

Pang TV and phone lang daw talaga ang Samsung and I tend to agree. Dami rin bad feedback about Samsung microwaves. Yung Samsung ref namin at home though ok naman. Almost 10 years na rin.

I have a Samsung window type aircon for 13 years, a Samsung split type aircon for the kids room for maybe 8 years. Well luckily both are still working fine naman.

It's good when it works, it's a pain when it doesn't. Samsung doesn't invest in strong aftersales for their appliances. Like motherboard lang daw (which is typically what breaks in Samsung aircons) kailangan pa orderin since they don't keep inventory here.

Kapag motherboard problem, be it AC, washmac, etc., who you gonna call? No not Samsung service center, call your friendly neighborhood tech. Chances are, it can be repaired at a minimal cost or if it needs replacement, there are plenty in the market and it's cheap. If you call Samsung, the replacement will cost you almost a new unit
