Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Model numbers are mentioned in one of my posts of this week. Prices you can obtain from your local dealer. Daikin should be purchased from their authorized dealers only. You can find your area's authorized dealer's contact details from Daikin Air Conditioners - Imported Air Conditioners, Home Air Conditioners, Air Conditioning Manufacturers / Companies in India. Panasonic is good too and you may look at it. |

I agree with you, But then what I do is instead of keeping a temperature at 18 c I keep it as 22 c, as 22 would be a little close to outside night temp in india there will not be many compressor cuts and restarts. | |

| ![]() I want to buy a Window AC in one of my room but I am confused on many aspects. The room size is around 140-150 sq ft. Wanted to check with gurus on below points. 1. Should I go for 1 ton or 1.5 Ton AC? 2. Which brand will be preferred. I have not decided my budget at present. 20-25k is comfortable zone. Max- 30k. 3. What are the installation costs for window AC? 4. Any recommended dealers in Hyderabad? I stay around Panjjagutta/SriNagarColony area. Should I buy the AC from multi brand stores like Bajaj electronics, EZone or dedicated dealers? Last edited by ottocycle : 24th February 2012 at 18:33. |

Bajaj electronics rates are very competitive as compared to market. My friend wanted to buy a 1.5 ton ac and we picked it up from there. Brand Hitachi. Very nice AC and will serve nicely. Diakin is an excellent AC but is a little expensive. Not sure about the rates. Get the final rates and will try too get you some discount from him. But will not be more than 5 to 10% depending on brand. Sorry Just wanted to add, Diakin has split units and they are better than the best and if its window ac then checkout Hitachi, OGeneral.

| ![]() The final rate quoted after bargaining for Daikin Inverter FTKD60VFM was Rs.50,200. Anyone, is the rate okay? But stocks will arrive only in the first week of March. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() This is an inverter technology model. Being an energy efficient product by design, the models in this range do not fall under the purview of the star rating system as yet. You can always compare Panasonic or any other brand with Daikin or the other way round. Both are great brands and make good products. One has to look at subjective choices such as looks, perceived image and a few objectives such as costs involved and service availability to help decide as to which one to buy. At the end of the day both are just heat transfer devices but while one gets the job done with breath to spare the other(s) get their eventually. Quote:

This is a 1.75 ton, inverter with R22 gas. Per my information the price should be in the mid 40Ks Quote:

I am explaining inverters again only because my nephew loves MATER. Inverter is a technology that controls the way an airconditioner operates irrespective of the fact whether it is equipped with a reciprocating, rotary, swing or scroll compressors all of which are hermetically sealed. Inverter aircons are capable of running the compressors at full speed to reach the desired temperatures and then slowing them down to a lower speed once the set temperature is achieved. Subsequently the speed is varied with the increase and decrease in demand untill the air con is switched off. This takes away the ON OFF ON OFF cycle of the compressor which is the highest energy guzzling operation in the running of the aircon, thereby reducing power consumption and lowering the impact on the compressor and associated components. It is better to buy two airconditioners of the same rating rather than an imbalanced combination. Both Scroll and the Swing type are robust designs. If the price difference is not much I would go with Daikin as I think their IDUs look better. On the other hand the Hitachi scroll model is slightly better rated so more bang for the buck. At the moment I would not consider a Panasonic for duty ratings higher than 1.5 tons, simply because I have not seen any of their installations beyond the usual 1.5 tons. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() If you had run through the posts pertaining to even the last season you would not be surprised at this brand being recommended but then someone having gone through the thread would not think of getting an LG / Carrier either. For a budget of 20-25 Whirlpool it is, of course you can spend some more and get the General. Last edited by khoj : 26th February 2012 at 00:31. |

| ![]() Summer QC : Hitachi Home & Life Solutions (India) Ltd. Quadricool TM : Hitachi Home & Life Solutions (India) Ltd. Hitachi 1.1 Ton 5 Star window AC has been priced at 26.5k. Would 1.1 Ton be sufficient for 150sqft room? Any comparison between o-general and hitachi over A.S.S and product quality? |
