    Ayaw ko muna ng inverter. Ang brownout sa amin eh patay-sindi minsan. As in split second brownout. Kaya iwas muna sa electronics.

    Anyone has any feedback on the Samsung Triangle-shaped inverter split-A/C?

    On paper, it seems to offer stronger airflow and is more efficient all-around compared to the rectangular types.

    I need a 2.5HP unit.

    Choosing between these two models:

    AR24MVFSBWKNTC | AR24MVFSBWKNTC | Samsung PH

    AR24MVFHHWKNTC | AR24MVFHHWKNTC | Samsung PH

    Iwas sa samsung and idec brands since sirain talaga mga aircon nila. Pati kolin na non-inverter sirain but inverter units are ok.
    Panasonic lately has more lemon units acdg to a friend who had 2 lemons out of 3 pana units. Pinalitan nya ng LG and he's happy with LG

    Hmm... In light of that, I'll consider LG then. We already have an LG inverter ref that had been solid.

    I had to ask because I received a very good offer for a new Samsung kasi. Heavily discounted with part of the install services subsidized. But then again, they're probably doing that as a desperate move to regain market share. And truth be told, we currently have about 6 Samsung inverter A/Cs installed and four of them have had issues one way or another (ie. logic board replacement, compressor leak, and then some).

    from experience, split type harder more expensive to install and maintain, its selling point was its was more quiet, pero not anymore, new ones are quiet na din..the only advantages i see sa split type are...pwede mo iiwas yung motor sa direct sunlight at kung hindi pwede talaga yung window type kasi walang window...

    Pricing supports Daikin's claim to be no.1. Parang ginto na hehe. How about Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric?

    Still have some nagging concerns about durability bro. My uncle's Samsung inverter broke down already just after the warranty lapsed. Something to do with the electronic control. Subscribed to this thread. I will have to buy at least 2-3 units for the office I'm building.

    I bought 2 kolin inverter type - split and window. The window type broke a few months after the warranty expires. The split type is still going strong and on its 2nd year.

    Window...Pana or Hitachi.
    When Daikin re-entered PH w/ Alenaire(that partnership broke) & had to serve the window AC demand, only Panasonic passed their standards. Briefly, Window Daikins of that time were rebadged Panasonics.

    Our window type kolin inverter is still going strong.. running almost 24/7.. would only be shut down for a couple of hours when the bedroom is being cleaned or the unit's filter needs washing.

    They should've gotten better. Clients & friends who've tried em have been giving unencouraging reviews.[emoji17]....It's not an industry I'm in....serving a parallel 1 that keeps us informed of long-term feedback.

    Some OCD tips....
    -Always request for drainpipes larger than their "standard" 3/4". When drain & dirt mix, the jelly formed can easily clog the line.
    -Install your wall units on perimeter walls, if you can...where the tubes go straight out the structure. Keep future interior leak risks at the minimum.
    -Ceiling cassette units have drain pumps. When the pump goes....instant leak. Avoid these. The blown air hits the ceiling & leaves dirt you'll have to clean or paint over.
    -Never allow insulated tubes running thru ceilings bare. Do not believe when they say the lines are properly wrapped. When humid air hits a cold line, condensation is instant. They must be guttered.
    -Whenever possible, do not embed lines in concrete or dry walls. They are best hidden behind removable cladding or covers guised as vertical spouts. You'll be glad you did come repair or replacement time.
    Collateral damage on walls & ceilings from mere condensation will be unsightly & costly. In areas where you've electrical lines running, moisture contamination can be disastrous. Plus, repaired walls where old plaster meets new will never be as good as virgin 1s.
    -Find the shortest distance to the condensing unit. This will optimize cooling efficiency.
    -Tubes must have no joints except on the ends of indoor & outdoor units. This will lessen leak risk & make future troubleshooting a lot easier. Pressure test them prior to installation & activation of AC.

    And....if you have an issue w/ privacy & strangers coming into your rooms for the entire duration of AC cleaning or servicing; if you can sleep & live w/ AC noise; & if you are not conscious of looks....be practical....GO WINDOW. They're cheaper. Washes are done outside. Swaps are instant & DIYable.
    The experienced architects & engineers I know who design & build like the structures were their own..... share all the above.[emoji4]

    The slime that forms on the condensate catch or pan which eventually clogs the drain is caused by bacterial growth. In the US at least, you can buy a bottle of condensate treatment tablets. You put a tablet in the drain catch/pan and it will prevent or reduce gel formation.

    Now, does anyone know if this is available locally?

    My quick and dirty approach to temporarily clear up a clogged drain is to use a wet-dry vacuum cleaner and unclog it from the outside. The problem returns in a few weeks and it will not help if the gel formation is on the condensate pan itself.

    i agree.
    installing them, permanently hidden from view does make for good-lookin' house.
    but come repair time, it promises big headache and considerable expense.
    my colleague opted for good looks. now he is facing major work, to fix the leak.
