Sure r inverter can run at 20%? I thought only 0, 50 n 100%.

Some have variable speed. But not sure which model and brand. I read it in their marketing material.

My Master bedroom is using Panasonic inverter 1.5HP. Not noisy at all, even compressor are silent.

Earlier had a problem with gas leak this are due to installation issue, and taken down the compressor and blower few time to check. It does make noise after that, but is due to re-installation issue and rectified later.

Most of the time when users complain noisy is because the installation was not done properly.

No worries. The hot air wont goes down, bcause hot air will stay afloat and cool air will be at d bottom. D best if u can relocate d air grill so that d grill will be at the top of d a/c.

The worst will be the turbine sucking the cold air out. But this is very unlikely to happen since u have another air grill in another room. The air in ac room is much cooler than others, making it heavier n difficult to suck in. So what will hapen is, d turbine will tends to suck air from other room which is hotter.

Not a good idea to make the grill on top of the a/c, blower suck air in from front and top, if it place too close it may suck the roof air, and your room will take longer time to cool. Just like in car, you switch from recycle air to outside air, your car will not feel that cold because is taking external air.

This is based on theory or experience? It will work. Ur a.c wont have that strong suction power, not like vaccum. It dont have d strength to suck air from such a small hole n ur a.c distance from d ceiling (1 ft) making it almost impossible to happen.
*
Based on experience, and advice from installer. I used to have a 8" vent fan beside the a/c. Later relocate to another direction and the room cooling are much faster. 1ft is not far, air movement still happen.

As i thought. Ur case r diffent, d opening is too big n ur setup is active ventilation. It has greater risk of hot air back flow into d room, especially if ur roof vent cannot catter the incoming air, making the attic space positive in pressure

Anyway my sugestion was based on my own experience n its works. icon_rolleyes.gif

8" is not very big, with the fan blade taking some of the space at most the max opening area are 1/2 of it. The Vent Fan only switch on if a/c switch off, Active is only when I switch if on.

I have no issue with Panasonic so far. Been using Panasonic for so long never fail me.

Sometime is the installer issue, not the product issue.

A lot of my contractor recommend me to use Daikin or York due to quality, maintenance n spare part availability. Im looking for non invertor type 1.0hp to 2.0hp as i rarely use air cond.

Any advise?

Acson is also from York.

My house was single storey from living hall to kitchen all the way is open and sometime the rear kitchen window they open with exhaust fan also.

For my inverter 2.5hp starmex or mr slim, I need to set on 27degree all the way. Never feel that running non stop or increase double up power consumption than non inverter.

For my bill was reduce 70% of panasonic non inverter 2.0hp smile.gif
Non inverter will running non stop, until raining time and on & off only, also set for 23 degree to be force that non on & off to be stop compressor running and reduce that non comfort air.

Is different comparison, you reduce to 70% when both temperature are set different. For a apple to apple comparison all the temperature need to set equal.

If I have a old car always having overload and new car is only one passenger, and i say the fuel saving on the new car is 70% is unfair comparison.

Is not what I want, is a different comparison. 70% different if temperate between the Panasonic and Mitsubishi is nil will be fair comparison. I know there are saving between non inverter and inverter.

Is depend what you want.. Stay to old house and enjoy with old tech. Nothing to improve over an latest technology.

Since inverter so great we died died must install inverter unit, unless you're the salesman still can't accepted the real life..

Why I would saying like that.. Cause I paid for money and installed a non inverter to be made my night can't sleep as well.. Something used a brick and smatch on leg..

My experience for Panasonic non inverter unit only.

1st have to set 20 degree and 2nd fan speed to be cooling the room temp down.

2nd non as cooling faster.

3rd keep noisy when on and off.

4th. The outdoor condenser really smaller size like mini aircond size.

5th what for still using a non inverter.

Inverter you really can't accept to set on 23 degree for normal bedroom.
For me is can't sleep as well these too cold already.
For best temp setting on 25 and above these is really power saving.

Non inverter you can't set in 25 degree cause not enought cooling within half and hour time from starting running time.

The best setting and avoid for faster reach and remain on without on and off should be set in 22-23 degree all the time., but once reach to 4am outside temp area drop you may feel these is keep on & off for made you to wake up as too warm and too cold already.

I also using inverter in my room, 24c is my minimal set before I feel stuffy. Usually I put 23c. My pattern have not change since I move from non inverter to inverter.
