Or PMT? Confused now
The PET models I am getting for 36000 & 46000 with installation, stabilizer, wall bracket etc.
Room size is
1) 120 sft, all boxed in, no direct sun. 3rd floor of 4 floor apartments building in Jaipur.
2) 155 sft, east wall with about 18-20 sft window, otherwise all boxed in. Same flat as above.
Have ducted air cooler in all rooms. Will probably go with a 1.1 tonner in both rooms.
Later another 1.1 tonner for a 140 sft room and 1.5 tonner or 1.75 tonner for a 250 sft room. Both totally boxed in, 0 exposure to direct sun.
The flat probably is not used even 30 days total in a year. Except continuous usage till 11th May this year by my wife and daughter.
Is this plan OK?

A comparison of 2 Ton Inverter models:
Make - Model - Price(Rs K)- EER(W/W)-Amps- dB -Airflow (CMH)
Sharp -XP24MV - 63.8 - 3.32 - 8.9 - 45 - 936
LG -Q246C8R3 -76K - 3.52 - 9.1 - 30 - 1081
Panasonic-CS-S24PKYP -73K - 3.3 -8.2 -45/36/33 -1088
1.5 Tonne model:
Whirlpool -Fantasy (1.5T) -58.8K - 3.45 -6.7 - 37.6 - 906
Prices taken from the Internet/MRP - so actual will be slightly off.
I am not giving any weightage to other features which I feel are more to do with marketing talk rather then actual performance. To me the most important criteria will be EER and Noise (dB). I am discounting LGs claims as 30 dB seems to be too low and unattainable for domestic A/Cs. Given the above first preference is Sharp. Panasonic looks good except for the price. ( The dB is given for different settings)
Whirlpool does not have a 2.0 Tonne Inverter model.
Can you all give your preference,experience with any of the A/Cs?
PS: Apologies for the bad formatting. I am unable to copy paste in a tabular form.

By the way, Sharp inverter models come with 3m copper pipe by default. Anyways, the Chennai price is (including premier 4KVA stabilizer & installation)
1.1 T 13PET: 39 k
1.1 T 13PHT: 42 k
1.25 T 15RET: 46 k (white) & 47 k (Siliver)
1.5 T 18PET: 49.5 k
1.5 T 18PHT: 54.5 k
I'm not able to source 1.5T PHT sub 50 k.
Please check if Daikin comes with R410 gas. (If R32 is used, it's inflammable & banned in US & Europe)

2T is a whole another ballgame. These are commercial grade or near commercial grade. I think this is where brands like Daikin and Hitachi do well in India.
Up to 1.5T, I would go with Sharp PET/PHT. If you look at their brochure, Sharp specs seems to taper off at 1.5T with EER of 4.18.
Whirlpool is ranked even lower than Samsung and LG in India for consumer electronics.

Ultimately it's your call. I gave you a hint a few posts ago
If you do follow my suggestion, just make sure it is from this year's stock as the pricing looks unusual.
Daikin has some 20 models like FTKE, FTXG, etc., each with 5 or more capacities, and the models range from pedestrian to hi-tech. The FTKE unfortunately sits right at the bottom among all their inverter splits. It runs on something even older than R-32 gas. R-22 gas, which has been phased out of the US since 2004.
PS: The second dealer's price is similar to what I got from the biggest Sharp distributor in Bangalore. Sharp will do installation themselves for Rs. 1,200 to 1,500. 4m (~13 feet) piping/wiring is included in Sharp Installation Kit, so it is free. This kit is supposed to be among the best in India. My gut feel tells me the first dealer is not reliable. I couldn't get PMT in Bangalore, perhaps he is selling old stock?

ok.
You are right, the first dealer has some bad reputation of selling unpack/little damage/demo pieces & so friends are telling me to avoid him.
Most probably i am going for pet model.

Which one?
1.1 ton
LV or PET or PHT?
And 1.5 ton
PET or MV?
And what best expected price?
Or PMT? Confused now
The PET models I am getting for 36000 1 ton, & 46000 2 ton, with installation, stabilizer, wall bracket etc.
Room size is
1) 120 sft, all boxed in, no direct sun. 3rd floor of 4 floor apartments building in Jaipur.
2) 155 sft, east wall with about 18-20 sft window, otherwise all boxed in. Same flat as above.
Have ducted air cooler in all rooms. Will probably go with a 1.1 tonner in both rooms.
Later another 1.1 tonner for a 140 sft room and 1.5 tonner or 1.75 tonner for a 250 sft room. Both totally boxed in, 0 exposure to direct sun.
The flat probably is not used even 30 days total in a year. Except continuous usage till 11th May this year by my wife and daughter.

Why? Both PET and PHT are identical except for color (usually silver as black costs Rs. 500 more), plasmacluster ion, horizontal swing and self-cleaning. These 4 features are not must-haves any way.
If someone wants to save Rs. 3,500, I think it should be fine.

LV? In 1.1T And MV? In 1.5 T

Don't you think 4 ACs for a flat you are using for less than 30 days a year is extreme?
Usually in vacation or seasonal homes, one room with AC is enough to provide relief and get by.
For my sister i am suggesting her following model for her 90 square feet bedroom-
Sharp 0.8 Ton Inverter AH XP10LV (i guess should be under 30k)
It has all the features of 1 ton PMT/PHT model except Micro-computer control (i think not required as it is already lowest 0.8ton), led digital display, 4way auto air swing.
Am i right or am i right ?

That is why I said later. If we probably start using it longer, then we will install more. Also there are certain other personal reasons.

But do please tell me
1.1 PET or LV
I am finalizing 2 PCs. 1.1 LV. Same price as PET.

Honestly, I haven't looked into the LV as its EER for 1.1T was lower than PET/PHT. I was hoping that someone else would reply to your post.
If you are getting both, perhaps you can educate us?
nowwhat?
Member
Looking at only the specs for 1.1T, I would go with PET because of higher EER (4.01 vs. 3.63), microcomputer control & LED display. I think PET has 60% ECO mode because theironhorse mentioned he uses it.
