Split vs Window type Air Conditioner

[kimbon]

Planning to replace our jurasic window type A/C. A split type a/c will cost more in the initial purchase than window type. However the cost of running the split type will actually be more energy efficient than window type based on the same cooling capacity? Is this true?

Get inverter ac

[jyg1995]

Yes sir,mahal bilin Pero mura operating cost.

Window type is more energy efficient and easier to maintain. Window type has 1 motor cooling the condenser and blowing the evap. Split has 2 separate motors, long plumbing, cleaning is a pig.

^ Korekek! :thumbup:

i'll take the INVERTER types.
window type: if the other side of the wall is "open" and still within the property line. very easy to install.
clean and maintain.

split type: ONLY if it's a "closed" room. if there's no way to create an opening or the unit will go outside
the property line (ie. rooms between rooms / firewalls).

SPLIT TYPE INVERTER AIRCONDITIONERS:
PROS: really very energy efficent, silent, and very good looking. malinis talagang tingnan lalo na kung
ang makikita mo lang sa wall eh 'yung "blower" lang (not sure what they call it, but i think that's
the Fan Coil Unit (FCU)). kung maayos talaga ang pagkakagawa, very too much like like talaga the looks :slurp: .

CONS: expensive, the unit and installation labors and materials. and if you really want a very good looking,
clean looking installation... p00tr*#$%^&* talaga!!!
wall chipping, concreting, piping (drain line), conduiting (electricals), carpentry (walls / ceiling),
repainting / finishing. ang daming kalat! grabeee!!! now that's what you call a "dirty job" .
pero kung under construction pa 'yung bahay, pwede nang isabay sa rough- in works.
belive me, mabu- buwisit ka lang araw- araw kapag nakikita mo 'yung mga conduiting / piping.
mabuti nang gastusan mo na ang pagpapa- gawa. :cool:

Is inverter air con better than normal air con?
In theory, the inverter air con is more efficient in energy saving and temperature control. It's compressor motor is driven by direct current ( thereby a current inverter is installed in this air con) and its speed is variable. The compressor regulates the temperature by speeding up or slowing down the rpm of the compressor, just like a car engine in the highway. When the desired room temperature is reached, the compressor motor will run at a constant medium speed, just like a car on cruise control.

The normal air con regulates temperature by turning the compressor on and off. This start up process consumes 3times more electricity and the room temperature will also go warm to cool by about + or - 4 degrees during these process.

[tahxcool]

Kung balak mo mag aircon ng nga 5 hours or more a day mas matipid yung inverter types kasi di sya patay sindi maintain lang yung motor nya pag nakuha na yung target temperature..pero kung mga 4 hours a day ka lang better get window type na hindi inverter kasi matagal mo mababawi yung price difference nila..

Hitachi advertises a window type inverter a/c. Anyone knows the price & who sells it?

the one reason i'd use a split type, is because i have no window.
hassle ang split type maintenance and cleaning..
our office has both.. the window type gets visited less often by the repairmen.

perhaps the reason window types appear to break down more often, might be because more hands get to manipulate them more often..

Sorry to nitpick...

Technically, you don't need a window to use a window-type A/C.

It's called "window-type" because of the way it punches a hole through your wall... like a window... to the outside.

The only time a window-type A/C can't be used is if none of the walls of the room is a perimeter wall. (ie. A room within a room that has none of the walls exposed to the outside).

thanks guys to all your inputs. okies will consider split type inverter but what brand would you recommend? a/c usage is 5 to 7hrs a day 24/7.

tested ko na ang panasonic window type not only sa durability of the compressor but also higher EER compared to competitors. panasonic din nga ang TV & ref na binili ko pero bihira ata akong makakita ng panasonic split type instead mitsubishi, hitachi, LG etc... any reasons? is panasonic slip type a/c too expensive & below EER rating?

Thanks for the info. It's more expensive than the split inverter pala. I will check how it compares with the inverter with regards to installation & such. Is Hitachi any good? Sa split inv. kasi, the best according to sales people is Carrier which specializes in A/C, but more expensive.

Split type is nice when new, when it starts leaking then you'll wish you got a window type. Cleaning is also more expensive and a major hassle. The advantage of being silent is appreciated only if you live in an area far from noise or your house is built with sound proof walls and windows.

Window type is cheaper, easier to clean and easier to replace. When the time comes, it will only take less than a day to replace it. Another advantage of split type is if you have several units in your house, you can swap them. Useful when the main unit breaks down.

you can't go wrong with Hitachi bro. Yung last batch ng Sanyo maganda din mas mabilis magpalamig kesa sa Hitachi ng utol ko pero ngayon recommended ng aircon tech ko Electrolux

I checked out Hitachi 1hp. 39k for a 1hp unit. Kinda sick... I am opting more for the Conception Ind. brands like Carrier, Condura or Midea since they are the cooling experts. Have to factor in the installation fee also.

Once you go split, you'll never go window again.

Best feature: silence

[SiRbossR]

Depends on where you're going to use it. Kung sa sala, edi Split type. Kung maliit na kwarto, window.

[jasonub]

Panasonic ang sa amin. Satisfied ako sa performance. 2010 pa. Its that or daiken for me. Both are expensive

[Newcomer123]

I got the IDEC inverter type for 21k only. 1 year na, sulit talaga. 24deg palagi for 8 hrs, 1700 lang bill ko, sama lahat, tv ref fan at ilang small appl pa
