[travajante]

Yan din gamit ko bro para 10 sq mtr room. Mas matipid pa sa 1hp inverter AC fujidenzo (kolin oem).

Replaced our 12 yr old 1hp kolin window type aircon, no issues with it... with a Kolin 1.5hp Window type inverter..so far its ok, i hope it wont have any issues.

I see bro. Now, di ko tinanggal yung rubber to drip. So im using and testing the No Drip function para nkababad yung cooling coils and condenser. Pero at some point, drain ko din manually, may mga insects kasing nag swi swimming na namatay.

May window type inverter na rin pala ang Panasonic. Kaso 1.5hp lang ang biggest.

Panasonic is trusty...served as Daikin's OEM when the latter had window ACs briefly. Hitachi has good inverter windows, too.

IIrc, Hitachi was the first to have windows inverter aircons. But they cost 50 to 60k each.

Haven't checked current pricing. Hope they're way lower now.

Curious, too. I'll ask for updates.[emoji4]

Anyone here who can recommend a "multi split type system"

I basically need 3 indoor units... 2x3/4hp and 1x1hp (or 1.5hp)

Naglakad lakad ako sa SM/Trinoma last weekend...

Kaya lang 1hp smallest indoor unit nila (Mitsubishi and Kolin)...

Napag iisip na ako to just get a unit in SG kaya lang walang warranty and hahanap pa ako ng installer dyan

I'd rather look for a nearby service center than SM or any other appliance center, and have them install it.

This is much cheaper and maintenance​ should be fairly easy as you can call them anytime.

The nearest service center around our place is Samsung. I'm a bit worried after reading some problems encountered with this brand. It's only a year old.

Am beginning to rethink the HVAC system I have to install. Might just go with window inverters instead of split types. Just 3 things bothering me about window inverters.

1. They don't look as good as split types
2. The vents are vertical and small. Airflow swath would probably be limited.
3. Up to 1.5Hp only. I would need to install more units vs split types.

If only they were a bit cheaper pa hehe.

I saw those inverter Hitachis before. Felt like they priced them out of the market just because they were the only window inverters.

Panasonic inverters are listed at only 31,xxx for 1Hp and 34,xxx for 1.5Hp at Anson's. I'm sure they're cheaper for COD.

True, not as pretty, but they're excusable. Vents & cooling are fine if the size matches the room.
We always advocate Function & Low/Easy Upkeep in the structures we design & do. Window wherever we can over Split. Maintenance & swap downtime are DIYable easily.....We also don't embedded tubes & drains in concrete. Tube insulation can deteriorate & cause all sortsa trouble. With condensation & leaks, damage on finishes, precious wood floors & trims can be irreversible. Don't worry about form, exposed pipes & tubes can be made to look bearable...here's a sample of window & split applications we usually do....No drips, no mess.

Sorry bro pero hindi bagay dun sa house yung window type lalo na yung frame support na ginamit medyo awkward. Easy to maintain mga window type pero nakakasira lang ng facade design mo. Wala naman problema sa mga split type baka hindi lang maayos kabit ng installer mo baka tinipid ka sa materials.[emoji1]

I don't disagree....that's why the window is on the rear of that house.
Once trauma of AC troubles hit, one can appreciate these preventive measures more. Many who are technIcal & OC, esp those who've seen leaks as ACs age, often opt for the practical. Oh, the frame support came with the Hitachi unit, sir....I don't like it either, but better safe than sorry.[emoji4]

Well sir proper installation lang talaga. We had deal with bpi contractor they even wrap their drain pipe with insulation foam.

Insulation is pretty much standard procedure, sir. I've been dealing only with the best & most experienced AC providers & installers....& even they'd push for exterior routing of insulated tubes. None thru ceilings nor embedded in walls, if possible. ACs will need periodic servicing, lines can go, refrigerant can leak, insulation will deteriorate over time. Units die & when swap time for splits come, they'll likely need new lines. Going the extra mile can help keep the structures looking new longer, prevent headaches for owners.[emoji4] Just sharing.

Our house contractor placed embedded AC tubings inside the walls and drain into the regular pvc downpipes. They used cpvc or pex yata which they say is much stronger and minimizes leaks compared to regular pvc pipes. Sorry dont know the exact material they used but usually for high pressure water daw. It’s been 3 years and hopefully they never leak.

AFAIR, may 2HP window inverters na from what I saw online.
