    1.5hp split type sa neighbor ko naman na 20sqm.. "Malamig daw" baka dahil bnew pa


    posible. magkakaalaman yan on the peak of summer heat na, tapos wala pa insulation kung direct hit yun roof ng room nila.

    Can't wait to see their electric bill! Ü

    @snow

    Ubra naman yung 1.5hp sa 20m² though kakapusin ng headroom sa peak ng summer lalo if maraming tao. They can cheat by improving air circulation with an electric fan in the peak of summer.

    Hello! Ex-Daikin user here. Bought TCL KEI na 1.5hp for 15sqm na shaded room. Bukas installation. Talaga bang matibay tong TCL? Sana hindi ako magsisi in the end tulad ng sa Daikin. Sa Daikin ko, almost 2 pull down cleaning, at every 3 months cleaning and yet madalas magleak. Then ayun na nga cost us 9k to replace PCB ng Daikin. Parang presyo ndn ng isang unit unting tumbling nlng.

    Anyone na nagkaissues na kay TCL? Taga Tarlac pala ako, sa Murakeni ako bumili. Sana lang okay ung after-sales sa area ko.

    And okay ba na direct na itatap ung wiring? May abang na kasi for AC na wiring tapos may exclusive sya na switch sa main breaker. Hindi na need ng sub-breaker pag ganon no? Designed kasi ung bahay na kada abang for AC may sariling switch sa main breaker. Salamat.

    @pinoytravelhacker
    Care to share specific model of your Daikin unit?
    Also, on how it was installed, gaano kalayo from indoor unit to outdoor unit.
    Just wondering why madalag mag leak sayo and why frequent yung cleaning.
    Baka it's the way how the unit was installed.

    I am on a 1.5hp split Daikin Queen in a 16sqm room.
    Interested to know magkano bill nya.
    Eversince I installed Daikin(1.5HP) and Panasonic (1HP still underpowered), my bill went from 6-7k to 4k.
    Right now, we are trying to check if we can still lower this.
    We have 1 Ref Inverter, 2 LED TVs, 1 FAWM Inverter din kasi.

    Previous bill of 7k was with Hitach (0.75) inverter, GE 0.75HP non-inverter, LG FAWM non-inverter. Eto yung mga underpowered unit installed on a same space area so talagang malakas sa kuryente.

    Uhm, the brand isn't really famous for making some very durable aircon units. The KEI series in particular is powerful and cheap yes, but durable is not really listed in their track record.
    Sa Daikin ko, almost 2 pull down cleaning, at every 3 months cleaning and yet madalas magleak.

    When you say leak, do you refer to water dripping from the indoor unit or loss of cooling due to the refrigerant leaking out? I tend to think in the same line kay xyberblue na baka pangit lang yung installation nung Daikin mo which resulted in its premature demise..
    And okay ba na direct na itatap ung wiring? May abang na kasi for AC na wiring tapos may exclusive sya na switch sa main breaker.

    Just to give you an idea of my house's setup:
    I have 3 rooms. All three rooms have a dedicated aircon breaker. The breaker has been properly sized (15A) for a 1hp inverter WT. I would have preferred a 10A but opted to use a 15A na lang since nabili ko na. If the breaker sa wall Main Panel Board mo ay 30A tapos 1.5hp lang yung inverter aircon na ikakabit, you will need to replace the circuit breaker to a lower capacity (15A) to prevent instances wherein sunog na yung aircon eh hindi pa nag-trip yung breaker.
    Hindi na need ng sub-breaker pag ganon no? Designed kasi ung bahay na kada abang for AC may sariling switch sa main breaker. Salamat.

    For most ST units, having a sub-breaker outside is ideal since it allows the technician to service the unit without having to go inside your house to turn the breaker off. It also allows you to have an additional layer of security from which you can 1. set up an escalation of breakers (10A outside >>> 15A panel board) and 2. install a smart power monitoring solution (e.g. Sonoff POW Elite) that allows you to track consumption remotely.

    Kaya nga talagang pinag-iisipan yung setup bago pa bumili para maiwasan yung chopsuey na installation later on. Pulido na agad ika nga.

    i second that. with ST ACs be it a top tier or the least makes/models, there's no such thing as the best/toughest AC out there. "anything" could be screwed easy by a simple, unsuspected faulty installation. poor drain system to name a few.
    installation ang crucial talaga with STs.

    Sa mga nagtatanong paano ikabit yung blue filter ni Daikin eto lang sya. Yun kasing stock nya lumalambot at numinipis pagtagal kaya di na effective.


  • bisdakol on 24 Mar 23 @ 09:36 AM #

    any feedback naman sa TCL 09CS/kei will be appreciated. Salamat!

  • rhaegar21 on 24 Mar 23 @ 02:28 PM #

    Guys any feedback sa mga seller sa fb that claims they're from Abenson's warehouse or something? Medyo malaki din kasi difference sa store SRP vs. sa offer nilang price.

  • musicgeek on 24 Mar 23 @ 04:17 PM #

    ^Haven't heard of it. Best way to find out is get the name and contact info of the "reseller" then inquire directly with Abenson head office. Assuming the units are legit, need to verify if warranty will be honored / authorized talaga sila by Abenson and the manufacturer itself to sell those units.

  • statix on 24 Mar 23 @ 09:51 PM #

    ^typical spiels yan kesyo "warehouse blah-blah..."
    just be cautious.

    trader po yata tawag sa kanila. meron din yan sa ansons. direct to warehouse daw. same warranty rin naman mismo sa store. me discount ng konti since corpo purchase daw. di ko alam kung yan talaga ang term. legit naman kasi me serial at sticker din mismo ng ansons. cguro patong nila mga 1k. me delivery option sila, COD pa. pwede mo rin ipahanap sa ibang branch kung wala yung gusto mo at i deliver rin sayo. less hassle na kesa kaw pupunta sa ibang branch.

    They clearly don't want to sell it as a "Carrier" product.. Hehehe..

  • frequenzy on 27 Mar 23 @ 03:03 PM #

    @rhaergar21
    lahat ng major appliances namin galing from 3rd party sellers ng fb/carousell. karaniwan from anson’s cash carry daw galing. their price is definitely lower. i tried inquiring directly sa store and hindi nila kaya imatch yung price. warranty is the same. the only downside is cash lang pwede.

  • rakistang_jeff on 27 Mar 23 @ 03:24 PM #

    Question lang, safe ba bumili sa nakikita ko sa FB Marketplace na mga 'condo pull-outs" na inverter aircons?

    Kung ok lang ano mga dapat icheck? Thanks.
