re: The home / office air-conditioner thread While the extra 10k will get you a much better machine in the form of Panasonic, you can look at Whirlpool machines for the ground floor. Far better than lloyds and with a well established service network they offer the best techno commercial solution at the moment. Quote:

- How is Lloyd's?
- Or should i look at any other company rather than Lloyd?

A 1.8 ton machine may not be enough for the area being discussed, unless summers are mild in Calcutta. Even then the next model i.e. the 2.2 ton unit will be required. Further since your usage is not much, why do you not look at the non inverter models with higher COP. I would have recommended the FTG series except for the fact that it is restricted to the FT60GV1G6, which again is a 1.8 ton model.
Panasonic is not bad at all. In fact some of the better machines available today come from Panasonic. Quote:

Are the Panasonic inverter models significantly worse than Daikin's? Panasonic price is about 5-10% lower. Our dealer mostly deals with Daikin, but does also OGeneral, Panasonic and Whirlpool, and they say that they do not know much about the Panasonic inverter models, because almost everybody who buy inverter models from them get Daikin. |
@manim, the ODU is simply placed on the anti vibration pads. It does not look bolted down through the provided feet. If this is indeed the case please have foundation / Anchor bolts installed. Quote:

Back to the water issue, In case the water is flowing back in to the room from the indoor unit it could simply be due to the broken lock which may have changed the slope of the indoor unit. The other reason could be that the mouth of the drain pipe is choked, the drain pipe itself is choked or the exit point of the drain pipe at the other end is choked. Clean it ASAP, you may want to blow from the exit end of the pipe and that will clean out the pipe. One Cation though when you do this a whole lot of dirty water and muck will flow in to the room so ne prepared for that. Blow till all of the muck is out.
Another thing, why is your blower getting choked with dirt? What about the filters in the indoor unit? These are mounted for the primary reason of saving the blowers from getting dirty. Are these not being cleaned on a regular basis? If not then please do so immediately and follow up on a weekly basis. Quote:

One more thing I've noticed that one of the hanging locks is broken and there's a gap between the unit and the wall. I've already called for a technician but he's too busy with some installations says that there's nothing to worry as water leaks are common in this  What do you think? Is it ok to run the unit till the technician turns up? I've kept a thick cloth carpet to take care of the water issue  | |
