Things to consider before you buy split AC


Hello Everyone,

Hyderabad weather was the biggest motivation for me to go for one more split AC, unlike last time, this time I wanted to put some emphasis on technical specifications and reviews posted for all the brands, rather than just going by the dealer’s reviews. Here is how I decided to go for “Hitachi” out of all the brands available in the market.

Split air conditioners have the evaporator inside and the rest of the machinery outside. They are best suited for the place where aesthetics are the prime concern or there is no exposed wall. Splits are a bit expensive, but they tend to save a lot in the long run. They don’t produce noise (though its brand dependent) . In splits inverter models are good which save 40%of power by decreasing the rate of compression of gas, and hence requiring less power than to switch the compressor on and off, as in conventional splits. 

 
Points to consider before buying splits- 

LENGTH OF CONNECTING PIPE- this should support up to 25mts.


SIZE OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT-though u may not find outdoor units on display anywhere in the market, it’s the main factor to consider. The lager the unit, the bigger the condenser coil, the better the cooling. 

CFM (AIRFLOW) - VERY IMPORTANT INCASE OF SPLITS, BECAUSE AS SUCH SPLITS HAVE LESS AIRFLOW.cfm more than 450 is desirable. 

POWER INPUT- ranges between as low as 1600 to 1900 watts. If more than this, look out for the other model. 

BTU (COOLING)

FOR 1.5 TR anything between 18000-20400 is good.20400 is for Hitachi. 

ANTI CORROSION TREATEMENT ON THE OUTDORR UNIT-should be preferable, as the life of the ac is dependent on the outdoor unit. 

NOISE LEVEL-since it’s a split, it should be taken into consideration.22db -39 db is good. 

This is what I finalized:-
