even 10 sen also saving.Inverter one has at least 10 years warranty. Non-inverter usually much shorter as far as I can remember
Is it worth buying fridge inverter vs non-inverter

QUOTE(scorgio @ Mar 3 2022, 03:16 PM) Servicing the same. The reason for different copper size has nothing to do with inverter/non-inverter. The difference in size are due to:Inverter models the copper pipe spec different, so usually installation cost slightly higher. Next, the key is the Inverter PCB, which is at the outdoor unit. This part warranty only 1 year. If unlucky got fried, then to replace is RM3-500 (last I heard). 1) Different refrigerant use. 2) Different power. You can see the after 1.5hp, the pipe gets bigger if not mistaken. dest9116 liked this post

QUOTE(Lembu Goreng @ Mar 3 2022, 03:18 PM) Inverter part the difference is only the control board. The rest is the same. Well. In my experience using air-cond, never had any faulty board. The main problem is after years it's getting noisier because the rubber insulator deteriorate. The replacement rubber (usually 3 pieces) on my 1hp air-cond I bought only around RM8 and I replaced them less than an hour. Now it sounds like new again.I think when I replace my old non-inverter one with new one, my electricity reduction is about RM25~30 perhaps. Probably part of it due to more efficient compressor? I don't know. I used air-cond only during sleeping hour |

QUOTE(desmond2020 @ Mar 3 2022, 03:24 PM) If you really wanna harmess the benefit of inverter, you should size you inverter one step higher HP, for example if normal use 1 HP, inverter one should buy 1.5 HP No reason for that except you probably spend same amount like non-inverter one but get faster cooling |

QUOTE(Lembu Goreng @ Mar 3 2022, 03:29 PM) Same concept because the inverter part is about how the compressor in controlled. Both fridge and air-cond same cooling method.For fridge, if your fridge is not open/close too frequent i.e. less loss of coldness, you probably don't much difference in power usage. That I can say for sure. If many people use fridge like many children in house |

QUOTE(Lembu Goreng @ Mar 3 2022, 03:44 PM) It is the same actually. The air-cond is chilling room by removing heat to outside of the room. In fridge case, the inner side of the fridge is the room and the heat is removed to the outside of the fridge cabin which is into your house unfortunately. If you asked me if it is worth it an extra 1k, I'd say it is not worth due to additional cost for inverter board compare to regular board probably just RM100~200. The compressor still the same compressor but the longer warranty is due to there is no in-rush current to compressor during operation thus it is very unlikely to get the coil burnt. The 1k extra is very much due to inverter is current hype. As I mentioned before, it depends on how much coldness loss inside your fridge. The more frequent the fridge door is open/close in a day, the more time the compressor works. How much electricity saving related to this factor. If less open/close the fridge door then the difference is saving probably negligible. |
