Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

[jaggerx3]

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.

Probably Samsung don't put much quality in their aircons sold outside Korea.
In our office we had a 10 year old Samsung floor standing aircon that my Korean boss imported directly from SK still works better than rhe Hitachi we have. And it's made in Korea not Thailand.

TCL is offering a good price for its split-type inverter aircons. We might just take the offer ‘coz we need 10 units.

bro, who does their after sales support? I'm eyeing one of their 1.5hp units but can't get info who does their after sales.

Gree on the other hand have uni-tech ph. supplier which mainly does AC's.

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

Nung tumawag ako ng tech para gawain un carrier xpower, ang sabi sa kin, naku sir 15k mboard pa lang. Bili na lang kayo ng bagong unit kesa pagawa.
Tumawag ako sa carrier, 9k kasama kabit. Tapos ang problem.
Un ang lamang ng carrier dito sa pinas, parts

There are techs on FB that can fix a board at a third the price of a new one.

Gree is a supplier ng parts talaga yata.

May Kolin at Carrier kami na window type. To my surprise Gree ang compressor

The discount offered is just too good to pass. It will just be for home use so I will not run it hard to the ground. Not to mention that we need at least 10 units. The price of the units is just part of it, we still have to consider the cost of installation.

May nagrerepair ng motherboard. The tech that installed the unit said to just give them a call. Even my relative who gave me a high price said all motherboards can be repaired.

Sirain ang samsung? My mom's old ref was a 18 cu. ft no frost samsung, bought in 2000, given away to my cousin in 2018 with nothing wrong with it, then my cousin sold it this year and it was still working as good as the day my mom bought it 20 years ago.

Just a thought - does having one appliance lasting many years make the brand "matibay" and conversely, having one appliance conk out prematurely make it not matibay?

It feels so anecdotal and there will always be bad eggs in any brand/model. Pag mataas failure rate as a percentage of a large sample size, yun lang yung talagang definitive na lemon talaga - like Ford's DCT. But even then, does not mean that all Fords are bad, because Mustangs are pretty well-built cars.

So typically I put more weight to people who deal with hundreds of appliances as opposed to paisa isa lang. Which is why I went for Daikin for my aircon - my contractor has installed countless Daikins for his clients with no issues so far. Si travs na contractor din, highly recommended. Then it's the second largest aircon manufacturer (next to Carrier, which has an advantage because they also sell a lot of window-types), so that counts for something too. And on the flipside naman, as mentioned previously, a friend who deals with appliances every day and even works for Samsung doesn't recommend it so I crossed it off my list even if it's relatively cheaper than Daikin or Panasonic. But even amomg these professionals who deal with lots of appliances may kanya kanya ding favorite - wala namang purely objective measure talaga of failure rates across models and brands across the world.

At the end of the day, to each his own of course - everyone has a different decision tree and criteria when buying appliances. [emoji846]

Im impressed your dmci unit has a provision for split type bro. I had to make butas sa wood cover ko kasi puro window type lang. Pangit tuloy tingnan so pinalagyan ko na lang ng panel. But still walang provision for the living room.

Pinagawa ko lang din bro. Living room aircon has pipes running through the wall tapos ginawan lang ng panel to cover.

Nice. I installed the split type for the main BR and window type for the 2nd BR. I'm thinking if DMCI will allow us to remove the metal bracket at the balcony. Muntik nang tumama ung ulo ko nyan.

No di sila papayag. Yung akin nandun pa rin yung bracket for the window type even if I'm not using it.

Luckily found an AC shop nearby that can also repair inverter boards. Tech is a certified ME who works for ARAMCO but got stuck here due to COVID.

Had my Panasonic 1hp window type non-inverter cleaned and it's a pain in the butt to disassemble. Taking out the fan cover requires moving some thin freon lines out of the way. Removing the control box requires pulling out the leads from the capacitor. Carriers are more cleaning-friendly.
