Window type vs split type AC: ano mas matipid sa kuryente?

[ghosthunter]

my brother mentioned he bought an inverter type A/C. His electric bill went down.

I've read somewhere that inverter type A/C is not as cold as an ordinary one....

maybe not cold enough to preserve fresh food items in the room but cold enough to be comfy even on the warmer days.

Pero, mas mahal ito sa ngayon....

Yup, inverter-type AC's have been in the market for over 2 years, and are more efficient in terms of energy consumption (daw).

I was in the market before, kaya lang problema kasi ang installation sa kuwarto ko. That time, Panasonic's 1.5 HP inverter AC's were selling for 35k (compared to 21k for window-type AC's with the same HP rating). Tapos may cost pa kada foot of copper tubing installed.

Nag inquire ako ng prices, Panasonic inverters are almost 10K more expensive than non-inverter aircons.

Here are the prices:
Panasonic inverter: P35,200.00
Panasonic non-inverter: P26,600.00
Panasonic window-type: P18,600.00
Samsung split type: P25,650.00
Samsung window type: P16,600.00

The aircon will only be used around 2hrs/day, 5 days a week. Pwede na kaya window type nalang? Yung savings for the 2hrs use per day na makukuha ko sa inverter type hindi naman na siguro mararamdaman.

Mas mura sa kuryenete ang window type kase isa lang ang motor nya that delivers the cold air to the room and discharging the heat from the condenser. Unlike the split type may sariling motor for the ACCU (AIr cooled Condensing Unit) and a separate motor for the indoor blower (Evaporator).

i think mas matipid sa kuryente ang window type kesa split type. yung split type kasi, 2 ang pinapaandar ng kuryente dahil hiwalay ang condenser niya. pero sa cooling efficiency, i think mas cooler ang split type and tahimik pa. di ka na rin kelangan magbutas sa wall ng malaki. yung daanan para sa tubings lang ang bubutasan.

inverter is cost effective but expensive initial investment. best choice, if you have the money
