Sharing my experience with window type inverter. Bought a kolin 1.5hp window inverter, arrived on 6/17 then i got around to install it nung 6/19. It replaced a 13yr old conventional, .75hp i think.

Below is my post in another forum.

Update lang:
New meralco bill
Bill Period: June 19, 2015 to July 18, 2015
Amount: P 5,497.25

From 10.3k the previous month. Very similar usage except for some nights na ok naman panahon, but daytime usage remained the same.

I was expecting mga 8k - similar to our trend from last year for the same month, pero to my surprise it turned out to be even better.

Take it with a grain of salt please, may iba pang factors yan panigurado kasi hindi naman sabay yung pag sukat.

SIr L1quid, how about yung noise, maingay din ba compared sa conventional window type?

Mas tahimik sya kesa dun sa pinagpalitan nya, could be because its new. Right now mas maingay pa electric fan ko kesa sa kanya. Wala ako measuring device ha, tantyahan lang.

nope. they have 5 years warranty on the compressor only. 1 year for the rest.

before you can even claim compressor warranty, you have to shell out about 3k for hit and miss diagnosis c/o their direct technicians.

assuming you claim compressor warranty, they will supply the compressor free of charge but will charge you for everything to install the new compressor (labor, oil, welding, freon, etc). this will cost you 7k.

i claimed compressor warranty in May and shelled out 10k just to get their useless 5 year warranty.

not to mention ang gulo kausap ng call center nila. puro alibi. wala daw part pero kung magalit ka na biglan magkakaroon.

if you call service, darating ang technician after 3 days tapos pag dating, sasabihin na late na kaya bukas na lang. tapos papapirmahin ka ng note na dumating sila. kinabukasan, hindi darating.

Hitachi was 35T for 1HP model when asked a month or two ago at Robinsons.

Considering this Hitachi inverter model for our condo unit as well. Cost almost the same as an split type inverter, it's just much easier to maintain a window type in this case.
