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.

bcuz the topic is 1.5hp not 2.0 2.5hp?

also first floor and second floor linked. for what reason you wanna cold down the whole house with a living room air con? when you switch to bedroom just turn on bedroom aircon lo

maybe my first floor is not direct facing evening sun. now my living room thermostat showing 26.3C while i tune my air con to 27C. i can live with that temperature.

the sofa i am sitting is directly facing my air con. as long as the air con blowing towards me when i am watching the tv it is enough for me.

like i say dont need to cold down the whole area and my downstair living room is not expose to evening sun to begin with.

house front and back facing north and south. although corner lot but west sun shine on my second floor only.

if your house is facing west and sun directly shine on your house of course you need more hp.
