Turn down the temp?

I do noticed that sometimes at 26C, I can smell something but disappear when I lowered it down to 25C.

Just lower the fan speed.

Blower and cooling coil get clogged over time which slowed the speed of air travelling through the coil. Therefore it cools down much more and result in cooler air. Even if you get a new a/c, it felt the same way. It cold faster but not that cool.

He probably has a wifi 20A switch connected to his ac.

LG ac with wifi has live power draw ontop of monitoring. Samsung app only can monitor without live power draw.

LoL... you teasing me? This LG is only rated 4 stars despite being a premium ac.

Look at the live power draw, 0.77kwh... which means it's just being turned on not too long ago. The initial 2 hours power draw is a bit higher than my son's room Samsung Windfree which is rated 5 stars.

Do you still think very good power consumption?

Deleted due to double post... I'm not even sure how this gets double posted after 2 minutes. My apologies...

It doesn't make your aircond feels colder. It just divert the cold wind from blowing directly at you.

Why non inverter though? Inverter is proven to save electricity cost when used as designed. Unless you like to set 20c for a really cold temperature, then the inverter wouldn't make any difference.

You don't need long hours to make a difference. Depending on your set temperature, it could be a huge difference.

You can have a look at my LG premium inverter 1hp power usage




I had my temp set to 26c. The first 2 hours is the most taxing. After that, inverter kicked in and using almost the same energy for 6hours vs 2hours.

But if you buy a non inverter, it will continuously draw say 0.6kw/hr with some cut off in between then compressor restart again at 0.6kw/h.

Of course that depends a lot on your set temp. If you're going for 22c or lower, inverter probably not going to save you much.

Did you read what is i auto x?

It's basically temporary fast cooling. Besides from what I read, once it reaches certain temp (most probably set by manufacturer), it will auto direct the air flow upwards to prevent human over cooling. Why don't you use normal cooling mode if it annoys you so much?

I'm guessing since you're saying it stop cooling at 26c.

From what I read from Panasonic site, it said iautox will maximize cooling to lower temperature faster. Then added that once it reach set temp, it will divert the airflow up away from human. The graph and remote on the page was set at 25C.

However, you set yours at 16c as you explained earlier. Hence I guess maybe the algorithm for iautox probably was hard coded to a higher level to avoid over cooling human. This also why I said try to use normal cooling and see if it will maximize the cooling.

As with most ac, even when you turn power mode on, it will only run for a certain period of time before turning itself off. Since you had the temp set at 16c, the power mode would have turn itself off even if it havent reach set temp.

R32 vs R410a

Personally I feel R32 cools faster but R410a feels more colder at the same set temp. However R410a does consume more electricity than R32.

1-3 dont save much really. Better open 5-6 hours because the energy savings mostly comes after 3 hours.

Time to use the hidden power of your right hand

Why are you installing them inside? Didnt you received velcro tape to secure the filter on the casing of the ac?

Noisy? I dont hear any sound after placing it on the case and I dont see any reason why it would create sound.

Some 1.5hp BTU is not much different from 1.0hp BTU.

Daikin so louya one ah?

Honestly I never had any problem with my ac. Samsung inverter used for 6 years, hitachi non inverter used for 10 years. The only reason I changed them is because power consumption.

Old hitachi? R410A?

I also had one non inverter hitachi 1HP which I later moved from my bedroom to living room (now replaced with LG). Cant really compare those day AC to the newer R32 ac. Im shocked to find out my 1hp hitachi outdoor unit is way bigger than my 1.5hp LG premium inverter. Imagine the surface area advantage it had compared to newer ac.

I do find that the newer R32 ac cool faster but feel less cold compared to the old R410A ac. After changing my ac to save power consumption, I find myself needing just a tiny blanket to feel comfortable at 26C whereas I needed something thicker with the old R410A ac at the same setting.

Not bad the price. I think LG is nice because you can manually turn on the inverter to save power. However this manual inverter mode is only available on the remote. It also log usage by hours which is nicer than Samsung.

On the other hand, I believed LG inverter is rated at 4 stars instead of 5. Power consumption is slightly higher than Samsung which is rated at 5 stars for their premium range. I just double check and it seems like your model is rated 5 stars instead of the JA2PA which I had.

A lot of people are questioning why I didnt choose Japanese brands but honestly my experience with Samsung triangle inverter is pretty good, hence I stay with Samsung and buying another LG to try since I bought them cheap. I even installed a 1.5HP in my living room due to this manual inverter whereby I can lower the power consumption since I will be using them with ceiling fan. Where did you bought them since the price is kinda cheap? I kinda regret didnt bought more to stock because I got my 1.5HP (older model) from Onking warehouse sale which dump them for 1.25k and even with additional 2 years warranty, it still cost less than RM1.5k.
