@opethian yes nice technology but good only on continuous use or on solar panel

Check Pel Desire series A.Cs 1ton consume only 4.6amp max, 1.5 ton only 6.6 amp max. Price is also fine 35000 and 50000 respectively
but they are short in market, I went to buy but couldnt find
PEL Desire? hmmm yar r they inverter based? and i saw there r two versions of their ACs one is PEL Desire more CGP and others are PEL Desire more AGP. Whats AGP n CGP?
why ACSON n GREE inverter based ACs r so high priced?

Cooling bhi karte hain ya sirf naam k hain? My two rooms are 12'x12'x12' and a single 1.5 ton Panasonic chills em both within 10 or so minutes. But it takes a buttload of power (like 10.5 Amps) Aisi performance hogi un ki bhi?

I dont think so, they have not mentioned inverter so does shop, anyways inverter based not gonna cost so low
I have no idea about cgp and agp, detail available on pel site is next to none

inverter base cost more because its only a year old tech. i dont think so inverter price gonna get down. they will increase year by year.

aggar instant cooling chahiye to general ya panasonic laga lo is room main bhi
My pel 1.5ton chill room (17x14) within 20 minutes. peak amp 9.5amp. normal 8-8.5 . reaches 10-11 when compressor has direct sunlight

So i am going to be purchasing a new air conditioner in the next couple of days and i was googling around and many websites and forums have suggested the Mitsubishi Mr. Slim
, so i was wondering if i should be getting this air conditioner which i am getting for around 40k-45k or is their an equivalent and possibly cheaper A.C available
BTW My budget is around 40k , others have suggested getting gree, kenwood, haier or dawlance.

Just got HAIER @ 38K 2 weeks ago and its chilling , doing better than Gree !!!

ACs compressor vary as per manufacturer specifications. I have Galanz 1.5 ton in my office never heard its name before o joined this office n it cools brilliantly yesterday I had some mechanic installing new acs so I asked him to check amps n average was 8.3amps average in 1 hr. [MENTION=53064]alibaba47[/MENTION] yar I think for small rooms with uninterrupted electricity 1Ton is more than enough! Temp has to be comfortable with affordable bills but over here unless an ac don't freeze us and heater don't burn us we say "yar maza nahe aya" :)
And then people cry "yar bijli Ka bill tou daikho" we don't have any energy conservation sense! In some organizations/industries users are given extra perks on energy conservation like if they use less than their authorized free units or their bills reduce from precious month in summers they get some perks or something else is given free to them. Only this way I think we can educate people to save electricity and reduce power outages!
In america every year max wattage bulbs authorization for domestic users is reducing. They r encouraging people to shift to energy savers and led bulbs. On shops higher wattage bulbs r not sold to domestic user but over here story is different. There is simply no check and on top of that no new production. Govt itself is creating energy shortage and power outages and hence giving boom to businesses like generator importers, solar panel retailers and so called energy efficient electronics manufacturers. It makes me smile When I see tags and bumper stickers "designed especially for Pakistani market".

2 questions:

1. If the voltage is low, does it impact the inverter based AC's consumption?
2. someone told me that they are running their 1.5 ton AC on single phase for around 10-12 hours per day and their bill comes to around 4-5k per month, is it possible? because as far as I know AC can only run on 3 phase meter.
1) If voltage is low Regular and Inverter based AC wont work properly unless u use a Stabilizer or they are specifically designed run on a wide voltage range
2) Single Phase AC will work on a Single Phase meter. Majority of the ACs upto 2 Tons are Single Phase

Damn these prices of ACs o_O
We bought 2x 1Ton SG ACs back in 2005 for 15k per Piece and have been working fine to this day (Had to refill gas once or twice)

Congrat. But this isnt inverter one right. As looking at amp it looks the same as regular ac. did u asked how it will do the saving as it current running amps is 7 amp n starting is 13amp

Thanks.

No its not the inverter one inverter Ac's cost around 70k and more this cost me 41k i formally asked the shop keeper about the energy saveing feautre and he said it will save some energy etc but i think its a marketing gimmick but overall the AC performs very good cooling is way better then my Mitsubishi Heavy Duty AC.

U should if u can check the current while its operational some ac mechanic might help u do that!
7amps is really awesome for a 1.5ton ac! Isn't it?
i don't have a clamp on amp meter otherwise i would have checked it myself its easy.

how many amps other 1.5ton ac's use ?

yeah it had a sticker on it that said that it will save 4000rs worth of electricity per year but i don't think its true looks like marketing gimmick to me :p

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
