DC Inverter Aircon Thread (Aircon roundup and FAQ on page 1)

  • My TCL an Gree OEM units are all slide out chassis types. Yung older LA150WC yung hindi slide out. The LA150EC and EL are both slide out types.

    Oh, got it. Thanks for the information! Will do further research on this. Planning to get one before the week ends.
  • Experience ko sa lahat ng WT, parang si TCL ang pinakamatipid. Single fan motor siya pero DC fan kasi.
  • Kaya lang mukang no longer available in the market. Yung LG LA150EL mukang mahirap din hanapin puro EC model ata ngayon. Sadness. :(
  • Nakakatawang isipin na mas mataas pa ang average hourly consumption ko ng rig ko compared kay TCL na nagpapalamig sa room at 25 degrees setting. Paano pa kaya na mag uupgrade na naman ako ng 200W TDP na ampere card.

    Unlike nung unang panahon, baligtad.
  • Updates/ learnings on my search for WT inverter (someone might be in the same boat as me, for additional info lang din)

    Koppel KV09WR-ARF31 1hp pala ito, 22in x 15in sya so same size ng mga compact na 1.5hp. around 26-27k pesos

    Koppel KV12WR-ARF31 1.5hp. Surprisingly same size lang sila ng 1hp model at 22in x 15in around 30k pesos

    TCL 12CWI mahirap sobra mag hanap, wala na stock most major appliance stores

    LG LA150EL I cannot find this model. Puro LA150EC lang meron. LA150EC is around 30k pesos 23x15inches

    Kolin KAG145 compact model din. 22x15in around 25k pesos

    Ending is hindi ko padin sure kung ano bibilhin haha.

    Sharing info lang in case meron din naghahanap or baka meron kayo additional advice :)
  • Unlike nung unang panahon, baligtad.

    Refrigeration and Air Condition technology sure has made some great strides over the decades.. While humanity's hunger for more and more processing power has resulted in the creation of more and more power hungry computer hardware.. If anything, it has become lots cheaper to keep our computer hardware cool unlike before when the thought of having to buy an air conditioner just to keep our Gen 1 Athlon's from melting their motherboard plastics sent shivers down our spines.. Gotta love technology..

    Avoid compact units. They're just not as efficient as their full-sized siblings.

    na-curious tuloy ako.
    monitored my 3700X + 5700 combo, it pulls 290W max @ full load(gaming). samantalang 120W+ lang yung maintaining @ 25°C ng AC ko last night with periodical compressor shut-offs pa. palibhasa napakababa ng outside ambient temp natin ngayon. happy camper hehe

    @crispycrab

    where are you from ba? tried calling abenson sta. lucia east(cainta) grandmall? may nakita ako display si TCL dun, baka sakali meron pa.
  • Just a noob question, para sa mga split-type aircon, ano consideration kung indoor or outdoor breaker gamitin?
  • It depends if your unit came with a plug & power cord (indoor setup) or required a separate power supply wire.

    Thank you will keep this in mind. Though worst case scenario since compact units ang mostly available na 1.5hp sa mainstream appliance stores, are you able to suggest a specific model? Feeling ko kasi tutulo na again soon yung ST namin sa bedroom, if that happens ayaw ko na gastusan sa cleaning palit na derecho.

    @statix
    From san juan city po ako. Good call on abenson sta lucia. Thanks! Hindi din pala enough yung mag check ka sa main hotline kailangan per branch. Meron lang daw dun sa isang branch ng abenson sa sta lucia east (may 2 branches pala ng abenson dito) is yung demo/display unit. I asked sa viber nila kung how much hindi naman ako nireplyan, will try again tomorrow. Sana maganda discount since display unit sya. Hindi naman ata gamit yung mga aircon display sa mall.

    Yung TCL ko last night measured it from 12mn-7am believe it or not, hourly average niya 96w lang! 26 setting kasi nakakaantok na if below. Mine's a 5600x + 3060ti, a 32" 1080p @144hz and a 38w 5.1 AV receiver. On full load using FS2020, lumalampas ako ng 350w hu hu hu!

    how old is your AC na paps? clogged drain lang yan, sayang naman kung i dispose mo na agad.

    yes, 2 branches ang abenson sa sta. lucia mall. i saw it dun sa new building branch nila.
    around 30 minutes drive lang naman from san juan to sta. lucia, sadyain mo na kung confirmed na meron pa. display units ng ACs are there out of the box for display only, hindi naman nila pinaaandar yun so ok lang.
  • @statix

    Yup, kulitin ko ulit tomorrow. Pwede na yun pero mas masaya kung may discount pa hehe. Matagal na mga 10 yrs or more na siguro hitachi ST na .75hp. Quota na sya hehe. kulang nadin sa amin kawawa yung baby ko pinapawisan pag madaling araw e. L shaped kasi yung room since gentle breeze lang ang hangin nya hindi nya nababato yung cold air sa other side ng "L" kahit may fan pa mabilis uminit pag pinatay mo yung fan. Malakas din sa electricity hehe pag napasarap tulog tatayo ka pa para patayin sa umaga kasi tataas electric bill lol

    To give you an idea, just checked sonoff now nasa 598.06w sya pag runnig ang compressor. It consumed 74.97kwh since Jan 1. Usually 8:30-9pm until 8am kami naka aircon.

  • Yung pinakahuling nabilhan ko, sa Western Appliances nila nakuha. Kahit sa SM home appliances or Anson wala na ring display.
  • @kompressor
    Yesss napaka hirap mag hanap talaga kaya chambahan nalang kung makuha ko yung display unit swerte pero if not might need to settle for something else.

    .75hp na tapos L-shaped room pa? ano floor area? hirap nga yan.
    better to ditch that darn thing na nga hehe

    panalo talaga si TiCoL mo ano? hehe
  • Around 14sqm ata ito. Bihira kasi gamitin itong room dati kaya yan lang kinabit na aircon way back hehe. Kaya excited talaga ako mag upsize and inverter :D
  • ^nakow! kapos na kapos nga yan paps, you need a 1.5hp the least para dyan and that would be night and day both in cooling and consumption once naka inverter ka na.
    kung pwede lang, kindly post a sketch ng room with indication kung saan mo plano ilagay yun AC?
  • @statix

    Sure give me some time will work on it drawing ko muna hehe

    @godai @kompressor @statix
    TCL TAC 12CWI/W at 25,997 cash price display unit may dent daw :( though requesting pa ako for addl discount. Worth it naman no? Kasi yung compact na 1.5hp is around the same price range nadin e
  • Medyo mahal pa unless they offer it at 0% interest. Yung mga agent from Ansons dati can sell those at 22k.
  • Now if you're willing to shell out that kind of amount, you'd be far better off with a 1.5hp TCL KEI series split type for 24k which includes installation na (worth 6.5k installation labor and materials). That's the offer I got from Emilio Lim Appliances.
  • I concur with kompressor-sensei. Medyo mahal yan sa 26k. Nasa 23.5k nga lang ang regular cash price nyan sa ibang stores. Tapos yan eh dented unit pa. Kulitin mo para ibaba pa ng mga 24k man lang. Tapos ikaw pa ang mag-pickup di ba?!
  • I'm thinking the same thing. Browsing on fb may mga 21k pa sa cash and carry ansons kaso wala na sila stock now.

    I would prefer to stick to WT this time around for easier and more economical maintenance.
  • @godai

    Yes ako pa mag pickup :( mejo hassle pa kasi ang tagal nila mag reply kailangan pa follow up. Kaso hirap na tlga makakita ng stocks e. Sana lang maganda discount ibigay.
  • hi

    what's the best split type inverter to get.? with the good after sales and spare parts easily accessible.

    my requirement is 1.5hp. im inclined to buy from carrier.

    any thoughts

    thanks
  • grabe talaga ang naging demand ng TCL lately. samantalang dating hindi masyado pinapansin yan sa mga appliance stores.

  • @beagle_biggs: if budget is not an issue, go for daikin sir. kakapainstall ko pa lang din ng queen series nila

    mind to share your thoughts why? we have much better(cost wise) options out there.
    you may read page 01 if you haven't yet.
  • @statix
    Same sa fb and carousell maka kita ka ng ganyan price but if you check usually out of stock na eh.
