if u are replacing 1.5hp aircon in open living room like mine, dont need to get inverter type because open living room the air con wont stop blow also.

if non inverter aircon, china brand can get below 1k, japan brand in 1.5k or so.

i am using haier, gooding and at less than 1k price.

temperature reached then it will reduce compressor load.

non inverter type u either have the compressor on or off, no inbetween.

invertor aircon only useful if you let it run for long period

How long is long period? Even for 1-2 hours, non-I causes temperature fluctuations as the compressor cuts in and out. Inv airconds will slow down the compressor speed so the temperature is better regulated.

It uses sensor to control the operation. Normal AC operate in an on-off interval.

Basically if you tend to use AC for a long period of time ---- like 4-5 hours minimum, go inverter.
If not, normal is better and cheaper for you.

Hi am looking to purchase a 1.5HP air con to replace my old one ( about 10 years old). Air con repairman said no point in repairing any longer, not efficient.
It has been repaired several times over the past 3 years.

Any recommendations on brands or must have features other than an inverter?
Been out of this for so long and really have no idea what are the good and reliable brands out there now, or what is commonly accepted as must have features. 

Budget 2K ( incl installation ) - is that possible?

Thanks

Fixed speed bicycle vs a bike with a nice gearbox.

Faster cooling upon fresh start.
Power saving when already achieved target temp.

I using Daikin all the way

But wanna try Panasonic.

Bought 1 Inverter Pana unit during Lazada Birthday sale.
Very gooding price

But after fix brady alloying high pitch sound for the outdoor compressor. Seriously can't live with it. Lucky it's for my kids room and the compressor is high up.

Regret getting the Panasonic, will stick to Daikin even thou the smallish compressor the fans spin quite loud. Better than high pitch noise from the Panasonic.

In my case, yes you can go wrong with the Panasonic.

want cheap can consider Haier, Midea, GREE, Hisense, Hitachi.


Whether rosak or not really depend luck, and installer expertise.

Was in your same situation and replaced old bedroom unit with the Panasonic XPU 1.0HP three months ago from megacool via online platform. More often than not, use it throughout the night. Was pleasantly surprised to find recent electricity bill has gone down slightly. Besides that, less noisy compared to old unit. In hindsight, probably should have changed earlier.

long enough for the aircon to reach the set temperature

some ppl turn aircon on, when cool enough, they turn it off, they use human sensor instead of the aircon sensor.
