Get a non inverter if the temps are over 46C. For Rs 38 to 42 K you can get Daikin or Hitachi 5 stars. If you have the budget of Rs 52K you can buy the Hitachi Inverter AC which works at 52C.

How much is that extreme temp? Which Inverter AC are you using and where are you located?

Its a lot efficient..Compared to my older 2 tonne LG split unit, the inverter saves about 40% on the bill

I live right under the terrace and as a result the temp goes to 44-45C in my room. The inverter cools it a lot better than my earlier one.

Im not talking about your room, if your citys temperature goes beyond 46C you should stay away from Inverter acs. Apart from Hitachi every manufacturer mentions this in their website or advertisement.

Kolkata is perfectly fine for Inverter ACs.

Wait kolkata is nowhere near 46C... I was in kolkata for 2 weeks..It was around 40C max..just couple of degrees more than Bombay..I dont see why inverters would be an issue then.. Mumbai temp in my area was consistently at 38-39C for a period of 2-3 weeks. Faced no problems whatsoever..I thought it was a doing a better job than my split for once...

Hmm i see..Does it lead to cooling issues or something..not really aware about this circular..Does it lead to some mechanical problem or something? Strange because cities like Dubai have many inverters around..Was just wondering why..

May be the ones sold here dint have that compressor or may be the Inverter Controller Mainboard located in ODU cant cope beyond 46C. Just my guess.

For Hitachi 52C performance check their website or the ads on youtube or TV.

Is it True Inverter AC doesnt perform good at 45 to 50 degree temperature?

I am planning to purchase a Split Inverter AC bt i certainly read in review inverter ac does work good at higher temperature, as I reside in Gujarat where the temperature in worst of summer goes to even 45 to 48 degree...

Plz respond to the thread.

If the temps where you live regularly crosses 45C its better to get the Hitachi Inverter AC which operates till 52C. All general daikins and sharps are good till 46C as per their specs in their respective websites.
