I recently have added another new air conditioner unit to my kitchen area just a few weeks before the lockdown.
Its a 2.5 LG Dual inverter Thin Q to replace the 1.5 HP Living room Panasonic that wasn't enough to cover the other corner of the kitchen area and hallway



Happy with the performance. when I really need instant cooling, I would just click on the jet function at 16 Degree and it'll deliver, 5 mins after I feel the cooled air and I can work in the kitchen nicely. Now that I cook more and stay at home more due to COVID Lockdown.

My test in March - On the air conditioner with jet mode immediately at startup, turn it off/down when the room feels cold
My test in April - Scheduled Start at 10 am and turn off at 3 am and in the energy-saving mode (40% energy control and fan - 1)



Running this air-cond in energy-saving mode (40% energy control mode) on longer hours, I'm able to get 17 days of usage at 329 KWh energy in April, comparing to the previous month in March where I run much less but mostly in Jet mode setting every time at startup.

Summary

The Inverter function can save as much as 50 % of energy when used correctly, in my test I have found that it is much better to turn the air cond for longer hours to see the energy saved. You can double your runtime, instead of turning it full blast then turning it off again after usage.

I'm happy with the product

my house got one 1hp ....

save a lot evergy, full night (everyday) and full day (weekend) switch on only around RM20~35 additional charge..

but i think, the cool is slow, and some time only little cool...
compared to daikin non inverter 1hp.

I see, the 1 HP is for your room right and also a Daikin brand ?

I can only compare with my york 1.0 HP non-inverter in my room, on 16-degree turbo when I want immediate cooling, and I usually get it after 10 minutes, then i turned it back up to 22 and fan speed 1. its ample for my 2nd bedroom size. I couldn't measure the energy usage because i don't usually use it every day.

The other one I had was also a york 1.0 HP non-inverter but for the master bedroom. Master bedroom with a corner glass window facing northeast. Its hot in the afternoon. The york aircon at full blast 16-degree turbo could not cool the room at all, same at night time Technician have checked that there's nothing wrong with the aircon (3rd party air cond technician). I will soon check with york in house technician if my aircon is indeed a problem.

so at the end of the day is getting the right aircon that can satisfy your cooling I'll see if I ever get a Daikin aircon for my next house to have a fair comparison.

Thanks for the review, am thinking to get LG 1.0/1.5hp with ThinQ function but a bit back off due to some people comment about LG AC issues (few years ago though), hopefully their new models have been improved and less issues.

wondering TS using what app for tracking?
must be pair with smart breaker?
