Hi all,
I bought this as this April as the heat is continuously increasing and bad.
After researching online about the tonnage and room sizing, I fixed on a 1.5ton for myself.
I was keen to buy a 5star or an inverter to save on power bills. Actually (to be honest) I expect little or no changes in power bill (As a fan runs continuously and an AC does'nt on "eco" settings).
The installation was smooth, I discussed unit positions, and the guys were patient enough to take some and suggest some, then on agreeing the guys drilled a hole through the wall to get the pipes to the outdoor unit and installed.
In my case the outdoor unit needed no frame for holding, we had a cement ledge over the balcony window, on which it was placed (I dont know why they did not bolt the thing to the ledge, might be forgot..? or it truly is not necessary..?).
The indoor unit position was a bit compromised as the unit had to be in a slope to push the drain water outwards. This made the placement of the unit a bit higher than I expected.
The installation of the AC costed nothing (as in free). Only materials were needed which I bought and gave them as necessary.
for installation, they needed
birla white cement (to plug the holes in the walls), a 3m drain pipe.
They did not do the electricals, I had to call a seperate electrical guy to do the wiring work (we did not have a high amp socket).
So, I am only giving a rating for the product, which is good,
the cooling is sufficient, (~(19L x 9B * 9H) 1500 cu ft) room.
It takes 30min to notice the cooling in the room overall and an hour to reach 25C.
(I am not sure if the gas is low, will later claim a service ticket to be sure).
Power draw was around 1.4kW (have to check the savings in the long run).
I tried "Around U" feature at 26C for a period of time and the cutoffs made me uneasy as temps rose to 28 till it switches on and it reaches 24. There is a temp variance in operation, that causes a chill or sultry feeling. I guess the inverter models offer a better solution to avoid this. Might be it is cause if the "Around U" feature, and disabling it might be better.
Overall for the price i bought, I am satisfied and recommend this product.
