2.5mm is standard for medium load use like 2000-3000watts

Add bigger fuse from 16 to 25 in red color should be able to work out heavy load

Guys need some advice between inverter and non invernter..Wats the difference between this two in this situation as both are 1.5hp

A. Both set at 24
B. Both set at 18
C. Both set at Auto

Which one will be more saving? 4-5hrs use..2 person..but we do have visitors up to 5 person some time...

Using in a closed door room or open area? To reach 18c, it take long time, and is impossible if its at open area live living room.

Apartment living room all door closed including kitchen...so that's my question how does the inverter works opposite of non inverter in my situation

Living room? I'll prefer 2HP Panasonic basic type, full blast set at 25 for 1 hour and people complaint too cold.
For the sake of comparison, our mod already table out the actual savings, just check out the replies here.

Inverter works out.
Can be runs as quicky to reaching your deg. set point and then reduce to part load and maintenance the energy like very minimum power only.

Less said here.
Non-inverter 2hp used input watt = 1.8kw - 2.2kw from when start to boot up at 2.2kw and half and hour to be reduce to 1.8kw normal BTU from 18000 to keep cooling down all the place, once the set point is reached then will be listen outdoor & indoor fan cut off and totally power switch off for keep and wait the temperature dropping 2 more degree and start against to quicky booting up once is hit and stop again.

Inverter works can said is from your start power and one of bro said the outdoor unit hear like JET sound.
Due to really impressive to be full load in max runs to cut short time for cooling down within 20mins of whole place.
Once is hit and reduce to part load = very mini needs like 0.5kw as 2hp inverter to maintenance the same cooling, unless you open door or window or visitor and inverter PCB may tell outdoor unit to increase few more BTU to target as same set points, then when you stay at outdoor can feel the compressor works as veriable speed all the times long.

No matter how from inverter you do not know so much, after pay money then enjoy to comfort air with energy saving is the main point.

(In before my wife at kitchen window all time is open one and use exhaust fan to blow out cooking oil smoke, she never close the kitchen door also, regarding my living hall aircond still switch on and also does not effect like used more energy than non inverter 2hp.. From my bill now to be compare only, inb4 used 2hp and paid for 2x 1hp bill. After instead to 2.5hp inverter = pay at lower energy than 1hp non inverter bill)

Thanks for replies...I now roughly know what to get...

Today just visit to aircond shop on the ME actual outlook would be this and change to Mr. Slim already.



Regarding mine an installed 3 yrs back for this model : StarMex

Hi would like to have some opinion on the proposed layout of the aircon

Initially I've had plans to install cassette ceiling air con but due to the limited height space, i had to forego the plan and instead install 2 wall mounted aircons

I was wondering if the below is sufficient for coverage?

its 24 ft wide and 70 ft long, but the net length is probably 50 or so as I have separated the dry and wet kitchen (previously the yard) with glass partition

1.5hp instead to 1hp.
The rest follow your location

The option is remain your idea, then can choose1.5hp or 2hp to switch on diff. Place

Looking for
2hp and 1hp aircon
Non inverter
What brand should I go?

York Cooling King for 18000 btu at 1630w input watt is consider quite lower already.

How much is your budget? For quiet operation and lower noise generation, Panasonic will be good.

Just 1 2HP for dining and living together, move the 2HP at your photo a bit more center.
Have the blower unit blow towards you are not a good idea.
Last time I also like this, but it is very cold.

Hi Kim sim
Appreciate if u could recommend the aircon hp for my room?

My room size is 19 ft (w) x 16ft (l) x 11ft (h). I'm planning to use me inverter aircon

thanks, 1.5hp seems big for an area that small. good idea


im not sure if 2 is sufficient to cover the area, but will check with the aircon technician, certainly save costs on purchasing another unit

thanks for the input

Put 1.5hp inverter should be good than enough, if you decide over 2hp is really oversize.

Too cold = not really is the good idea for your healthy and sleeping as confort.

For living and dining, you no need to be cold, just for cooling.
Your "24ft" is not really 24ft as some of the space are eaten by the stair. And you don't really have 50ft long also, most is about 40-45ft.
Partition your wet kitchen to dining/living(for feng shui and less headache on cleaning air cond)
After minus out everything, I guess you will only have 21*25. So, it should be enough. Also, having meal is not that good to have full blast of air cond, not that good also.

No budget. As long is cool and don't give much problem
Cause now got so many brand in the market
