If you compare you will know that some has plasma filter while the other has coanda etc etc. Now why they call it pmt pet pht is an internal matter of Sharp which we will never know. Will you ever know why they call a swift Ldi Vdi Zdi and why not Sdx Vdx Zdx? Its their way of separating. What you oughtta know is what you want and why. Whether you want Coanda or Plasma Filter or Laundry Feature and choose accordingly.

check this out bro
LDI VDI ZDI are the trim levels of car in Maruti lineup. L,V, Z indicate the trim level, like stereo, fog lights, body colored mirrors, power windows, remote/keyless locking alloy rims, interior fabrics . Di stands for Diesel engine and in all the versions LDI, VDI, and ZDI the engine is identical in this case the multijet engine.
Similarly LXI, VXI and ZXI stands for petrol engined car, L being the least equipped with no power windows stereo etc V being the mid of the range and Z topping the range everything gotta meaning

Exactly the Compressor and the Inverter main boards (Engine of the AC) are the same across the line, its only the features like Coanda,Ion Plasma Filter or Laundry Feature (The Trim Levels) that vary in PMT PET and PHT. Now you have got it right!

PHT & PMT seems to be similar except probably colour combination of indoor unit. However can anybody tell whether 1.1 ton is equally good as 1.5 ton for Sharp Inverter AC. 1.1 ton is still copper. I think aluminium starts from 1.5 ton

All are Aluminum 1.5 & 2 Ton.

As per sharp 1.1 ton PMT,PHT is copper and it is upto 1.25 ton,beyond that it is aluminium

As long as performance is concerned they are excellent and that .1 ton over normal tonners will definitely have an edge. The EER is 4.02 in the new Sharp models which is astounding!!! It will return very very less electricity bills.

Then I presume from all the feedback that cooling will be equally good, and can go ahead and buy 1.1 ton PHT or PMT. My room is 12x12 and there is floor above , no direct sun from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm and the AC will work for 6 hrs a day for 8 to 9 months.

Hi

I am also looking to buy Sharp inverter model AH-X13PET OR AH-XP13PMT. Did you finalized your model? What price did you get it from market? How is the performance of A/C?
I have a 120 sq ft room middle floor and I am confused between 1.1/ 1.25 Ton. Please share your experience.

Thanks,
Amit

Did someone bought Sharp inverter model AH-X13PET OR AH-XP13PMT ? I am looking to buy one, does it cools the room effectively? Feedback is appreciated.

Room size: 10X13 sq ft.

Hi Incinerator,
I am looking to buy Sharp inverter model AH-X13PET OR AH-XP13PMT
Room size: 10X13 sq ft.
Middle floor

Please advise if it will be enough for my room size? Also advise which model should I go for PET or PMT. PMT does have 2-3 extra features like self cleaning, Plasma ION, super jet etc.
The Incinerator
Apr 9, 2014 at 12:38 PM
All are good,if you need the features like plasma ion or self clean then its good to go with PMT.Plasma ions kill germs and self cleaning kill molds inside the ac but do not think they will clean your filters! As far as cooling is concerned they are all equally good and same. The jet flow helps in chilling the room fast,really fast.I have explained the features and now you are the best person to judge.

Yes a 1.1Ton Sharp Inverter is more than enough for your requirements.

[MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION] Thanks buddy :)

One more thing does the length of copper tubing affects the cooling time for an split AC? Since I would like to place the outer unit on the roof as there is one more floor above my floor. The expected length of copper tubing will stretch to 6 meters.
The Incinerator

6 mts is no problem at all. Just remember to use insulating tape over the foam of the copper tubes.

Going on reviews of Sharp AC on mouthshut.com, lot of people have complaint about the cooling inefficiency of Sharp 1.1 T inverter models and their poor after sales service.

What do you suggest [MENTION=146621]The Incinerator[/MENTION] ? Please advise.
The Incinerator
Apr 10, 2014 at 12:22 AM
Mouthshut should shut down. Seriously. The morons are buying 1.1 Ton ac thinking it will cool what a 1.5 ton will cool like. What can I say!!! 1.1 ton will only disburse 13000 BTU and not 18000 that a 1.5 ton will.So if somebody thinks like the mouthshut guy that he will be a smartass using 1.1 ton inverter to cool an area that a 1.5 ton will he will definitely be in a soup,and thats exactly what happened to him. In inverter its very important to fit the right ac in the right place.

You will get 3 mts of .8mm copper pipe,water hose and electric wire. Per meter depends . The best ones are from Shyam Industries and .8mm will cost quite a lot. Dont go for lowewr than .8mm coz R410 gas has pressure which lesser copper pipes wont be able to withstand.

This is the price for AC only.. Standard installation charges, stand charges and extra cooper tubing charges will be extra. And not to forget u also have to buy a 4KVA stabilizer :)

Hi

I am also planning to buy one of those models. I am from Pune. My room is about 14*12*9 with 1 NE facing window.
Room on 5th floor with one more floor above. Direct sunlight is not available for long. Max 4 persons would be there.
Will 1.1T invertor be good for me ? I do not want to shoot my budget unnecessarily but I do not want to be another mouthshut guy.
A dealer is offering 36K on PET model and extending warranty from 1 to 4 years. Is it worth ? I see Amit got same model in 32K.

Amit,
Hows the performance. Please provide your feedback.

Get AH-X15RET , that's best for and won't overshoot your budget. You can get that model within Rs 36.5K or lower. Its a 1.25 Ton model

I finally got an offer for Sharp AH-XP13PHT 1.1T model for 36.5K (excluding installation).
Is it a good deal. Is the AC a good selection. It does have a good list of features.

Ezone is offering 39K lowest for XP15-RET 1.25T model. They said some models get free installation but didn't confirmed if this qualifies for free installation. Anyway free installation means 1K less max. I also heard that Sharp 1.25 models do not have good EERs.

I was suggested 1.1T models by some expert on another website. Do you think 1.1T is not enough for my requirement and could prove to be a bad choice in future.

Feature wise AH-XP13PHT model sounds better deal though.

Apr 21, 2015 at 5:44 PM
A 1.25 Ton Sharp would have been better for you since your room is 168sqft/ 1.1 Ton works best for rooms within 150sqft. Anyways since you have bought the 1.1 Ton dont stress it too much. Inverter AC s power savings main mantra lies in the room area to tonnage ratio.

Secondly the Sharp AHXP15-RET EER is a phenomenal 3.92!!!

Apr 22, 2015 at 9:58 PM
Thanks. 1 bad news is that installation cost told to me is around 7k. Too high for my expectation and budget.
It includes core cutting, extra wire, grill cutting and angle.

Another thing I noticed that manufacturing date is 08/2014. Is it too old and the gas would have degraded?
I didn't notice till today and now its too late.

Also AH-XP13PHT model has more phenomenal EER 4.02!! :)
