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

  • @statix

    Pag 2pm nasa 350-800watts ang reading niya pag 34+ At 41 deg heat index sa labas. Yung 1200watts nangyari ng 12 noon, bigla nalang bumilis kahit stable ang lamig sa loob. Kahapon stable siya never nag ramp up yung compressor whole day.

    Malalaman mo naman pag may problema yung ac pag weird na yung takbo niya. Weird din yung pag ramp up ng compressor sa gabi kahit na achieve na yung desired temp

    One time gabi kami umuwi so gabi na din binuksan, ambient temp ko is 29deg, set ko sa 26deg auto fan, after 1 1/2hr yung takbo ng compressor consistent nasa 1800 watts kahit 23 deg na yung reading sa thermo. Usually 24.5 deg dapat mabagal na yung compressor nun around 300watts nalang dapat. Ginawa ko binaba ko sa 29 deg para mamatay yung outdoor unit at sinet ko sa 27 deg nalang. Kaya dyan ko nalaman may problema yung ac.

    Great detective work! Let's hope na magawa din agad so that others here will be aware of it.

    err,,houston,,, we have a problem,,, nga yan ;)
    that's the benefit for having a watt meter + room thermometer. hindi tayo aware or manghuhula na lang kung wala nyan.
  • Duda ko nagluluko na yung temp sensor sa condenser radiator kaya ganyan.. But malalaman lang once ma-check na talaga.

  • Kaya pag nililinis, always clean both the ambient temp sensor (mounted before the fan and condenser), the cooling coil temp sensor (mounted sa gilid ng evaporator) and the intake thermistor (mounted infront of the evaporator).
  • ^Actually 2 major causes of electronic parts damage for inverter AC are power surges and nababasa ng tubig yan pcb during cleaning. So before you have your unit repaired or replaced, better figure out if its just your LG unit ang may problem to spare you from the headache of repetitive issues kahit pa getting a new unit w extended warranty eh abala din yan pa serbisan.

    Kadalasan months lang ang warranty ng replacement parts so malamang out of warranty na yan piyesa ng LG mo kung May pa pala last yr napalitan. Naka ROI ka na naman nyan with 5 to 6 yrs of use in terms of electricity savings ng inverter AC vs a conventional aircon kaya hindi na din masama't pwede na palitan ng new AC.

    Finally yesterday napacheck na sa technician and fortunately hard reset lang yung ginawa sa outdoor unit, nireplug lang lahat ng wires sa PCB and gumana na siya ulit. Ang findings is pwede daw nung nag trip yung breaker tapos mahina pasok nung unang daloy ng kuryente sa AC. pwede pala siya makaaffect sa AC kahit na hindi siya nakaplug nung nag trip breaker.

    If it happens again, try turning off the breaker na lang muna to force a reset. Turn the breaker back on after a good long while to clear out yung memory. If it doesn't work, then saka ka na lang tumawag ulit ng technician.
  • Slightly lower Meralco bill this cutoff.

    466kWh P5,250.

    Same usage pa din for 24hrs, salitan lang daytime and nighttime ang split 1.5HP and 1HP window kapag tulugan na.
  • good to go na si misis to change our aging condura for our room. i'm split between WT or ST arrrghhh! since di nagkakalayo ang price pag may sale hehehe
    like this one tcl TCL TAC12CSAKEI
    <click here for link>
    TCL or Gree would be on my list pero mukhang mahirap maghanap sa pampanga ah, any reliable dealer po sa province namin.
  • since di nagkakalayo ang price pag may sale hehehe


    also consider installation costs po
  • oonga po, nung nakita ko yung price ng installation, putik! isang conventional aircon na ito ah hehehe
    yung installation fee nung sa Abinsun same din poba kung kukuha lang ng mga installer sa mga shop tapos bili nalang ng copper tubing sa labas?
  • I suggest as much as possible just opt for a window type. The ST installation cost's just the tip of the iceberg for the compounding expense of maintaining an ST. Yung cleaning na lang is at least twice as much ST vs WT. Aside from more frequent ang cleaning requirement ng ST. Cons lang ng WT is it's not as quiet as an ST and you'll need a bigger provision to install. Other than that, WT gets my vote by a landslide.

  • thanks for that informative suggestion MG
    YES, i will opt for WT for the inconvenience & convenience mentioned above.
    I myself have cleaned our WT at least 6 times in it's lifetime BUT would be almost impossible for me to do if it where a ST.

    Now the hunt continues for a 1.5HP around Pampanga
    thanks to this thread & TS, many of us here made a sound & good decision when selecting the optimum AC for the comfort of our household!
  • @tindaloparts

    planning on buying a new split type aircon. ano yung recommended brand mga boss? 2hp na inverter :)


    If budget is not an issue, go for Panasonic, Daikin, or Mitsubishi.


    @Godai_Yusaku [TS]
    salamat boss. just installed 2 days ago Daikin Queen na 2HP. laki difference sa WT na luma ko haha. ambilis magpalamig.
    got it for 46500 pesos. :)

    hopefully maglast tulad nung Toshiba ko na WT. mahigit 10 years LOL

  • Hi mga Master! Plano kong bumili bukas ng wt aircon at ang natitipuhan ko ay ang Kolin Quad series 1hp Inverter. Approx 9sqm yung room ko right now. Ang prob ko lang is yung placement ng unit is around 3 to 4ft above floor level. Oks lang ba yun? Di ba malaki ang epekto sa circulation ng lamig? Salamat sa tutugon mga master!

    Standard naman ata yang 3-4 ft sa amin ganyan din, ok naman 1.5 HP nga lang pero old inverter model ng Kolin, 2016 namin binili.

    Yung R32 refrigerant in 5 years mag e-evaporate na yan, sa amin nagpakarga kami ulit nitong March (after 6 years), eto super lamig na ulit.

    Hi mga Master!


    Hindi ako master, gusto ko sana maging chess grandmaster mahilig ako sa chess kaso walang hilig chess sa akin^^.

  • Hello Guys, ask ko lang mga expert at mga kabisado karamihan sa mga split type AC. ask ko lang sana yung mga user dyan ng PANASONIC PREMIUM SPLIT TYPE, yung app ba nila nakikita din yung consumption watts like LG ThinQ? thanks
  • Sobrang init ngayon.. tapos biglang hindi na umandar ung 1.5hp window type hitachi full dc inverter. Even ilagay sa powerful hindi pa din umaandar ang compressor nito. Then pag nilagay din sa low fan, walang lumalabas din na hangin. Pag high fan meron pero hindi na lumalamig dahil hindi umaandar ang compressor.

    Compressor ba ito or inverter board na? I'll let you know pag nakatawag kami sa service center. Makikitulog na muna sa ibang kwarto.

    Ilang years na ito? Baka may leak lang yan ng refrigerant; ganyan din sa amin pag nilagay sa cool parang naka fan lang sya. Yung sa amin pala may leak (mali pala ako hindi kusa nag evaporate yung refrigerant), pinakargahan namin ng refrigerant saka inayos din yung leak.
  • @musicgeek

    Salamat po, kaso as per checking wala po silang 2.5 HP and medyo mababa po EER. Aside po kay Daikin/Aux, may iba pa pong may 3-year pcb warranty?
  • may iba pa pong may 3-year pcb warranty?

    None that I know of. Another option is to find another brand that has affordable aftersales / parts. Para kapag nasira beyond the usual 1 yr warranty nde masyado mabigat sa bulsa. I think LG offers reasonably priced parts. Either that or tiyagain mo na lang Daikin . Tantiya ko 2023 to 24 pa maglalabas ng new models yan based sa unit na nabili ko (2015 series) nun April 2019 after a few months lumabas yan current models nila.
  • Anung gamit nyong thermostat hygrometer aside dun sa nasa page 1? Salamat.
  • Mga sirs, kabibili lang namin ng WT Inverter Aircon last week, currently pinuplug lang namin sya sa solo outlet dedicated for aircon and unplug kapag hindi ginagamit. Pa-advise lang sana kung kelangan ba mag pa install pa ko ng separate breaker para sa line nya?

    Depends kung saan connected yung line ng aircon socket mo? Is it a dedicated line that goes to the main panel board kung saan may dedicated breaker for that aircon? If may dedicated siya, then no hindi na. If hindi siya dedicated line and tipong naka-connect lang din sa breaker that serves yung mga convenience outlets ng bahay, then yes need mo pagawan ng sariling line and breaker that goes to the main panel board.

    Okay, pagawan ko na lang sya nga sariling line at breaker since naka connect yung outlet ng aircon sa breaker sa buong outlets ng bahay namin, salamat boss.
  • bigla nag E0 ung TCl kei. 2 months pa lang ginagamit. bakit kaya nagkaganito
  • Error Codes Problem
    E0 Indoor/outdoor communication fault

    call mo na yung technician 2months pa lang naman yan
  • E0 Indoor/outdoor communication fault

    Start muna with a hard reset by turning off the breaker for a while then andar mo ulit after maybe 30 mins then see if ganun pa rin. If that didn't solve it, tawagan mo na yung installer or TCL service at (02) 8771-6888.
  • nakapagpaschedule na ako ng support bukas. buti malapit lang pala ung installer.
    salamat po
  • Daikin, LG, Panasonic pa din ba usually recommended inverter AC? Need ko ng multi-split (2-3 indoor units) AC for condo. Not sure kasi kung kakasya sa balcony ang 2 condenser kung normal split type. Kung kasya man, baka wala na din space matira. Hehe
