many years back, i was using daikin inverter 1.5hp with R22 gas in my master room (15ft x 15ft). during the months with hot weather, it took quite some time (~1gr) to cool down the room as part of a side of a wall is facing afternoon sun.
now, i'm thinking of fixing mitsubishi elec starmex 1.5hp which uses the new gas. will it perform similarly as daikin inverter, ie not cooling enough? or is it starmex has higher cooling capacity/btu due to newer gas? or i need a starmex 2hp?
PS: cant really find the btu for starmex 1.5hp in the web site to compare against daikin inverter 1.5hp.
I guess u go for 1.8hp for starmex now, due to cutting cost for fancoil become a smaller size as 1.0hp now.
Cooling wise may take longer a bit to compare as 1.8hp.
For 15ft x 15ft = 4.5x4.5m x 3.2m high is very common area, for what I can suggest, go for Starmex inverters to be save time and quick cooling for set at 25 degree only.
Fan speed at low already good than enough.
Cause for my living hall + dinner area is open until kitchen area.
For my Starmex 2.5hp inverter only set at 25-26 in low fan at afternoon sun.
