ASG24A 25300Btu this is a 2.0 ton rated hi wall unit. In the web site this is depicted as ASG18A which is incorrect.
I got the wattage from Hitachi HLI website. How did you get those differenct numbers? http://www.hitachi-hli.com/pdfs/Hitachi-PDF/Star.pdf |
I got it from the same source and confirmed with the service centres, the difference is on account of the fact that the higher capacity given by you is for the 2.2 ton unit and I have given the capacity for the 2.0 ton unit. Similarly the other figures in your case are for the new 1.8 ton unit whereas I am reporting the figures from the old 1.7 ton unit.
The upgrade seems to be pretty recent as I updated my information around the 3rd week of March and at that time their channel partners had no inkling of the up grades. This is also confirmed by the fact that HLI has only reprinted the 2nd page of their brochure, the first page is carried from the flyer that was being circulated in March(see attached). Quote:

I was particulary liking the hitachi 1.2 ton 5 star for its price and reviews. Will that be sufficient for my big room, and a 0.8ton for the small room. Or should I look at 1.5 ton and 1 ton?
Any suggestions on the make and model for me. |
Hi laluks,
Assuming that the roofs of the two rooms are not exposed to sunlight the ideal fitment would be 1.8 ton for the larger room and a 1.0 ton for the smaller room. This is after I have incorporated Bangalore's lower ambient temperature into the calculations. In case there is no construction above then the sizes would be 2.0 and 1.2 ton for the larger and smaller rooms respectively. In either of the above cases, I would recommend that you look no further than either the General or Daikin. Larger room
Daikin 1.7 ton unit, I do not have the model designation but I will provide a link to their dealers in your city.
In case you decide to go with a 1.5 then pick OGeneral's ASG18A which is a normal split or the AWG18A which is a Wall Ceiling split and both have identical compressors rated at 19380Btu which is much higher than any other 1.5 ton unit on the market. The wall ceiling model features a DC fan motor and its indoor units drain pan can be taken out and cleaned. Please be sure to check this feature with the dealer as the wall ceiling units are just beginning to come in to vogue. The Daikin has 1.5 ton units too which are better to look at and more silent in running but the compressors are rated lower than the General for the 1.5 ton range.
If you wish to go green then do look at the inverter models available from both General and Daikin but only in the 1.5 ton range and the compressors in this case would have similar ratings, I do not have any detailed information on the inverter models at this time.
On the flip side if you decide to go with a 2.0 ton unit then its a choice between the General ASG24A and the AWG24A units. In case Daikin has come out with a 2.0 ton unit that would be worth a look too. Smaller room
I would suggest the OGeneral ASG12A unit as it has a compressor rated at 11800 Btu OR a Daikin 1 ton unit which I believe has a compressor rated at 12000BTU.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
