I am looking to buy 1.5T capacity Air Conditioner for my room which is 12*14. Pls suggest the best AC to choose.
Brands I am considering are Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic. I left out General as I heard so many complaints about its after sales service and recent units quality. My usage will be 6 to 8 hours a day for 7 to 8 months (IChennai). Budget is 40K but ready to spend extra bucks if it is really worthy.
Best quote I got for Daikin 1.5 Ton:
3* 31500 (excluding installation, stabilizer and copper pipe)
5* 39000 (excluding installation, stabilizer and copper pipe)
R410 Inverter-48,500 (excluding installation, stabilizer and copper pipe)
R-32 Inverter 44,900 (except copper pipe)
First one, is it worth investing the above mentioned prices on the units or u feel prices are on the high side?
I have contacted many dealers in Chennai some are saying 3* will enough for my usage but few suggesting 5* or R410 Inverter as both the units are completely imported from Thailand and quality wise very superior to the 3* one. Some dealers even said that the made in India units are giving some problems.
So I am totally confused can anyone please suggest me the best one which suits for me. IS it worth spending extra 8K on 5* compared to 3*
Is inverter machine really saves 30 percent energy compared to 5* unit?
Dealers are claiming that R-410 Inverter (cooling only) machines will save more than 30 percent compared to 5* units even if the usage is for 3 hours. Is it true?
Coming to the other two brands (Panasonic and Mitsubishi) I havent researched a lot as many of my friends suggested Daikin. Price wise Panasonic is low and that one comes with copper pipe. Mitsubishi MSH18VA (4*) comes without copper pipe for 38,500. But I found very few dealers so there will be a chance of service problems if my dealer closes his shop.
is it recommended to wait till January for a price drop (new BEE rating) or this is the best time to purchase.
Would appreciate if you guys can suggest the right ac for me with price.
Thanks & Regards
