Hi guys!
Want to buy a new AC.
Have around 325-350 sq feet room. it gets direct sunlight and has a veranda where the external unit will be. Currently I have a 2 ton window installed but it doesnt cool a lot and also sometimes trip (the compressor trips due to the heat in Veranda, so we installed an exhaust fan right adjacent to it and then it's fine but not great)
So, the AC runs around 7-8 hrs a day during summers and around 8 months a year. this is the maximum time and average is a bit below this.
What AC should I go for?
Daikin
Hitachi
O General
Panasonic?
Also, Inverter or 5 star or even below? Money is not an issue.
Lastly, does the inverter do the same cooling as a 3 star or 5 star?
Some price quotes I got for daikin:
1.5 ton: 2 Ton:
2* 29250 37000
3* 31500 40000
5* 39000 47250
Inverter 42000 47750
one weird thing i noticed, theres absolutely no difference between daikin 5 star and inverter.
Also, that 2 ton is actually a 1.8 ton AC 22000 something BTU. daikin guy said thats what all companys call 2 ton these days only og is full 24000 btu.
Is a 2 ton needed for my room? i guess so.
Please suggest the best.
p.s.: the ac want is not urgent, i can buy it after a few months also. So is it recommended to wait till winters for a price drop?
