Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

DIY A/C cleaning is a good downtime chore.[emoji4]

Pag window-type mahirap buhatin lalo na at near ceiling ang position ng aircon.

It's a 2-person job. The trick is to wear a head pad of sorts to carry the unit out as the other person guides the way. A thick towel will do. Make sure to plug the drain hole during the tranfer.[emoji4]

my dad had the foresight. he had the aircons installed between the window and the floor.
we can pull it out and clean it ourselves, should we wish to.

near-ceiling aircons must be remote-controlled. otherwise, you will have to keep a ladder in the room.
also, pulling it out for whatever reason, is a big job.
but function-wise, it is a "better location" than near-ceiling.

The only reason I know why they put those air conditioning units near the ceiling is to maximize the cooling effect. Hot air has always the tendency to go up while cold air settles down.

But then again, some would say it is better to place it through the windows. Should you require to pull it out, it should be easy.

Damn, all of our 4 LG split type inverter units have a defective part. The latest one is my seldom used unit which turns off after 3 seconds and light blinks. Looks like a thermostat defect. Other defects were broken fan motor, broken swing motor, and an unrecalled part replaced under warranty.
Both our non-inverter Kolin units had their boards replaced at 5k each when they were only 2 years old!

Will be switching to Daikin or Hitachi in the future

For me, the most efficient place for an AC blower is the highest arms length level of the shortest user from the controls and air flow directed to the users' bed. This way, similar to car ACs, the users get direct cool air immediately, bringing down the body temp faster leaving the rest of the hotspots of the room to cool down on their own time.

Word on the street is, a lot of commercial bids calling out A/C suppliers have banned vendors carrying the Samsung brand from participating. By banned, they have actually specified in their bid docs that vendors offering Samsung will automatically be disqualified.

Take that with a grain of salt but I have personal 1st hand experience with Samsung inverter A/Cs.

They're crap.

In the beginning, we had 6 Samsung inverter splits. In 5 years time, 3 units would have required a system board replacement and a 4th one became a total write-off (compressor leak due to rust). Out of the original 6, only 5 remains. And out of the 6, only 2 didn't need major repairs.

In place of the fallen Samsung, we've installed an LG 2.5HP inverter. I hope this fares better than the unit it replaced.

We have two Panasonic inverter splits. No issues whatsoever.

Though, the upfront cost is the issue. ;)

per size ba yang 20ft? if yes your installation cost is cheap. kasama rin ba sa installation cost yung mga electrical accessories (i.e isolation switch, wires, etc)?

Thanks!
