Buying AC need help ASAP

Hi guys
Just renovated my room and now I am in the need of buying a new one ASAP. My room is 20*10 and i am looking for a 1.5ton split ac. I am looking for a brand which could serve for at least 4 to 5 years.
Here is my list of AC's brand I shortlisted
1. Trane India
2. Hitachi
3. Mitsubishi
4. Carrier
Please guys start giving your valuable suggestion as early as possible.

And what about its service quality and real time home performance mate

Whats your budget?

Whats your budget?

Anything around 35 to 48k

Get a Sharp 1.5 Ton Inverter AC. Im using one and trust me great cooling and surprisingly low electricity bill,50% less than conventional ones. Mitsubishi Heavy service is a suspect and Electric though not great is slightly better. Trane has yet to do good in North India service wise.But good very ACs never the less. Just forget Carrier.

I was about to say this to him

or he may consider Daikin inverter AC's. Service is great too

Daikin is good too,but the 3.66EER of Sharp is unmatched.

^ whats the daikin EER couldn't find in their site

Daikin (FTKS50): EER 3.23

Well actually sharp is not available in my town so getting service can be a pain actually I am a little bit inclined towards Daikin can you throw some light on the inverter technology used in now a days ac and along that is it a good buy if I consider to buy Daikin over the others I listed @ Incinerator

Daikin is a very good buy.

An Inverter air conditioner delivers cool air by varying the frequency of the compressor, and thus regulates the refrigerant to satisfy room cooling requirements and achieve the desired temperature with minimal fluctuations. It eliminates waste with precise control. In this way, it is more energy efficient.

i hhad tried out samsung to lg and carrier..and now i hav shifted to bluestar acs...i was surprised by their build quality and man in 10 min it cooled my 250sq ft room...i installed a 1.5tn instead od 2.0tn...i am really satisfied by my decision..!!

plz note carefully...guys never purchase any ac or fridge with aluminum condensers....i had to change my samsung 2.0tn ac within 2 yrs of purcahse..always choose copper condensers in any brands....

Aluminum condensers are not bad at all. In fact its very very good. But if you dont know the process of connecting aluminum with copper thats where the problem starts.And if you havnt vacuumed your your tubing its bound to leak due to corrosion!

What went wrong with the Samsung?

i hav a 2 ton samsung 3 star spilt ac...had purchased 18 mnths ago..!!! suddenly i noticed tht water was pouring frm the indoor unit after 2 hours of running it..ice was forming in the indoor unit and it was melting...!!then i called the mechanic and he told me tht the condencer pipe has leakage and it cannot b repaired as it not copper and cannot b weild..!!!

now i was in my worst nightmare...he suggest tht to fill the gas and run this in summers...after tht in winters he will b replacing the aluminum condenser with the copper one which will cost me 12k..!!!

i had sought every information regarding this and every one frm showrooms to Internet said tht stay away frm aluminum condensers as they were facing lots of complian abt it..!!

Its good ,no doubt ,but not the very best at the price. The EER is 3.4,Power Consumption 1570 watts ,which is higher than than the bests in the market,17700 BTU falls short too of the very best in that price which offers 18000 and has R32 .....but if service by Daikin is good in your area you can buy it,otherwise the Sharp at lower price still beats it hands down in everything.

Well hard luck of mine since sharp is not available in my city.

Get the Daikin.

Placed the order for O'general 5 star 1.5 ton ac. Will be getting it tomorrow for 45k.

well any idea forthis one...@ the incinerator

Generals cooling is unmatched,no doubt,but Im not game for 5 star acs,If I was OP I would have spent a bit more and got the Inverter. @OP a fabulous buy,nevertheless.

Well actually I was in the market for inverter but when I asked the service team they told me that there is still a lot of problem in inverter ac. And also there is lack of tech staff who has knowledge of working on inverter ac. As I do not want to risk my 65k buy on risk just because of these trainees. Will be running it for atleast 48hrs to check out its working uptill now it is cooling awsum. And yes now it been about 2 hrs running and it has started freezing like Antarctica hahaha.

Congratulations!
