Wanted to buy Sharp inverter model AH-X13PET OR AH-XP13PMT Please HELP!!!

J

I am located in Aligarh,UP(Pincode :-202001) and after reading the posts from the forum members i am too much convinced to buy Sharp inverter model AH-X13PET OR AH-XP13PMT.

But the problem with my location is that,any dealer of sharp is not available,I contacted on their Tollfree number but from here on the problem become worst.The sharp caller representative were not able to give the details of the nearest dealer but surprisingly they told me that The Sharp will provide services.

But now i am totally confused whether to buy Sharp ac or to go with some other brands inverter AC like dakin or Ogeneral or any other

So guys Please help me in taking the decision or suggest some equivalent powerfull ac as sharp.

Get hold of a dealer in Ghaziabad and ask if Sharp provides service in Aligarh.

could you please tell whether it is safe to purchase the pet model from snapdeal or not as the snapdeal has assured me that it will be their responsibility to provide the services.

Ask them if the Sharp has manufacturer warranty?

Damaged my 38k+1200(installation) it will be done tomorrow

could anyone tell me what all are the tests the installer should perform while installation and precautions for me if any

Vacuuming is a must. Insulation Tape is a must. A good ODU stand like one from Godrej is a must.

38K for only AC ???

I am confused now as to which one to buy

I am waiting for Inciterator to reply.

However if voltage fluctuations are frequent and voltage goes low in summers always look for copper stabilizer with max voltage range.

I stay in delhi where voltage fluctuations is not much, so confused between vGurad and Bluebird brands.

In my location Voltage fluctuations is a major problem so i am in a mood of buying one in the range of 150-290 could anyone here point out the price diffrence between the voltage stablizer in the range of 170-220+ and 150-220+

VGuard vnd400 - My friend bought it from snapdeal Rs 2200/ approx. Range 150- 285 V

Check out locally at what price it is available locally... then you can bargain...If fluctuations are more then go for copper one.

I called up Sharp toll free number for installation. Below are the charges given by them:
Installation: 1500
Stand: 750
Copper piping: 650 per meter

Charging too much

Can I get it installed from somewhere else? How much does a stand cost from open market?

Any response appreciated.

Those are standard rates as far as installation and piping goes.
For stand you can also purchase it from the local market, may be a bit cheaper

So all ODU stands are of same size?? Will fit all ODU even my Sharp one?

We dont use stabilizers in Kolkata ,neither would you need one in Delhi,use a Northwest Trip Meter/Circuit Breaker and starter motor,thats all.

A good Godrej ODU stand will cost no less than Rs 850. A Godrej ODU stand offers the maximum distance between the ODU unit and the installation wall.The distance is ver important for an Inverter AC to cool and save electricity optimally. Dont cheap out on copper tubing. R410 the gas inside most modern Inverter acs work under very high pressure ,a minimum .80mm gauge is mandatory other wise the pipe will leak sooner or later.The best Copper Tube for AC of .80mm/1mm is made by Shyam. Last but not the least use a good quality foam and insulation tape for excellent cooling.

My dealer is telling me that i will get one free odu stand from sharp itself and regarding copper piping do sharp also provide .8mm copper piping with the ac or the thickness is diffrent

- - - Updated - - -

And regarding my ac installation It will take around 10-15 days as both the PMT and PHT model have been stock out from the indian market as told by my dealer

To confirm the words of my dealer i called Mr J.Kumar (A Sharp Marketing personnel ) to confirm that and he too told me that due to some big corporate order Many of the models of sharp have been stock out however in 7-8 days the problem will be short out

I did not get any ODU stand in the AC i recd... It is possible that your dealer is providing it to you. You paid 36K for the model so it is included in the price....nothing is free my friend

Sharp provides .80 mm.

The AC is finally installed now... Looks great, cooling is good and is damm silent... :lol:

. Takes some time in cooling the room than normal split AC, but i guess that it because the compressor takes less W during startup and then increases speed gradually...

The AC has 2 eco modes 800W & 600W. Now can someone tell me shall I use these modes or let AC adjust itself to the room temperature? Is it possible that compressor will take more load if I run the AC at 26C with 600W selected ??

One more thing the installation guy just purged the air out of the copper wiring by opening the nuts from the OU and said vaccum pump is not required. Is this fine or shall I ask him to vaccum again ?

Please advise.

You should have vacuumed. 600W or L1 will take longer to reach 26 watts,just run it in Auto for the first hour and then select it to Cool mode in 26C. The more the fan speed more the wattage consumption in Inverters.

He just opened the gas valves when I was not around, he said he had purged it and vaccum through machine is not necessary. Shall I ask him to vaccum now? Will there be any problems refrigant loss problems since AC is operational now?

You will have to pay for the R410a refrigerant now.

I am buying the 1.1 X13PET. Is it absolutely required to do Vaccum and nitrogen purging? The dealer is asking for 700/- extra to do this in Noida.

No need to do a nitrogen purging but make sure about vacuuming and vacuuming dosn't cost any extra as it is mandatory for R410a based Inverter ac which the Sharp is and its included with standard installation pan India.

Thanks, I wish the dealers stop misguiding buyers. Also, no manufacturer is mentioning the Vacuum thing which they should ideally.
