Why those temperatures without including the standard room temperature of 20°C? If people aren't trying to save money by setting above 20°C, room temperature is what a room should be set to.
@@GrantMcWilliams I can understand that, and the human body can be accustomed to certain temperatures. However, there comes a point where your home reaches a temperature that causes the body to sweat when doing simple activities like vacuuming (or just lying down) and no one should ever have to be sweating in their own home. If my house were over 72F (or 22.3C), I'd be sweating with simple activities, personally. Are you saying that with a 26c indoor temp, that doesn't occur with you? I'd be dying. Outdoors, 26c wouldn't be too bad, assuming there's a light breeze.
Perfect timing i bought an inverter ac for the first time with your previous video i understood how to use a inverter ac and i am being worried about the consumption of my ac now you did this video which helps me a lot. And by the way you're explaining things clearly so keep on doing videos like this.
Thank youu! I wanted to make a video like this last year itself, but since peak summers were over, I thought I'd wait for next year when the temperatures hit 44 degrees. So glad you found the video to be useful. 😊
Congratullations on your english, man! It's the first time EVER I could watch a video from India and actually understand every single sillable. Not a matter of pronunciation but speed. You talk at a normal speed and that's something I've never seen before. Kudos! Great video BTW! I wish you compared the other AC against this one! I'm not sure what TON stands for in India but surely it's not the unit of weight :-P I couldn't find an acronym.
Very nicely narrated. Nice modulation. Nicer content. Nicest presentation. Well done. Incidentally my 1.5 ton AC in my Chennai home is a non inverter AC and it consumes around 14 units during its night running of around 11 hours... Except for my own cleaning of the outdoor unit with water jet and cleaning of the dust filters in the indoor unit I've not so far encountered any problems... Day time running is very very rare... Night time running from mid March to mid July... Five months and for those months I get a bill of around 4,000 bimonthly... after seeing your clip I've decided to go in for an inverter AC as soon as my AC conks out! Maybe another couple of years .. but like you said waiting might produce more efficient inverter ACs! God bless you
I've watched about 30 videos about airconditioner and literally no one mentions what the outdoor temparature. They literally have no idea that outdoor temparature is one of the main factor that effect power consumption of AC. Very detailed explanation overall. I think instead of buying the meco power consumption meter you can use smart plug like Wipro which costs only 700 rupees.
Thanks man, and outside temperature is literally the most important thing, even more so when it comes to Inverter ACs because these units take into account the outside temp and decide at how much power the compressor runs at. 😊
its nice to see someone checking it with a real power meter instead on making calculation on paper. I know ACs are closed loop systems and therefore complicated to calculate power for but this gives a ballpark figure to people who don't know anything about it.
Yup! Its more or less a ballpark figure, the power consumption varies depending on outside temperature, size of the room and also on how well the AC is being maintained.
This is a great content. Whenever I ask the air conditioner stores, usually they would tell me that if you are using the air conditioner for more than 4-5 hours (some even say 7-8 hours) continously, then you should only consider inverter otherwise it is not worth the money. From your video, it takes less than an hour for the room temp to reach the set temp before the compressor starts to slow down. This is obviously affected by different factors but i am coming from Malaysia where the average outside temperature is about 32-34C so I can imagine it is faster to reach the set temperature. Inverter is definitely the future. Not only because of the electricity savings but it also helps to reduce the carbon footprint.
When the outside temperature is about 32-34 then it takes less than 10 minutes to cool the room down to 24, after that the AC will run at low power to just maintain the room temperature, totally worth getting an inverter unit. Same story here, the shop keepers always push for non-inverter units mainly due to their higher profit margins, however due to stricter energy saving norms, non-inverter ACs have almost completely disappeared from our market. Inverter units are definitely superior, not only when it comes to energy savings, but also they make less noise and provide consistent cooling, since the compressor keeps running continuously at lower power levels.
I've a query! When the compressor speed is at its slowest (after reaching the desired temperature), the outdoor unit makes a faint high pitched continuous beep sound. Is it the case with inverter compressors? Please verify if this is normal? As soon as the compressor gains a little bit of speed, it goes away. Overall the AC works absolutely fine.
Just above 8 units in 24 hours is amazing! But I would like to know what the non inverter model would have consumed in same duration under same conditions.
Actually mujhe new ac purchase krna h 1 ton me but i m totally confused konsa lu so guidance k liye net through pta lga rahi hu konsa ac good one hoga kuch samjh nhi aaraha konsa lu jo gd ho sath me low electricity consumption kre..

@@dotsndetails9116 chill bro.. Don't take pressure in this. Just buy carrier or lg 1 ton inverter ac from local dealer once the lockdown breaks. You will not be disappointed. If you are asking for more advice, i suggest you to go with carrier brand.
Excellent 👌👍👌👌👌. ..never seen a video like this in particular.. I doubt how much power is actually consumed, apart from what they say about inverter a.c's ...now you made it clear for me. I searched a lot in the internet regarding the accurate measurements but I can't find any...now I got myself clear by seeing your video. super... Thumbs up .
Thank you so much! 😊 I've also made another video like this where I measured power consumption for a complete month, you also might want to check that out.
If the direct sun affects the ceiling/sunny wall that much, an interesting experiment would be to apply some additional external shade/blinds over them. The consumption data of the AC units observed over a longer period of time could prove if it made a significant difference or not.
It will make a significant difference, I got the ceiling treated with reflective paint, already noticed a 3-4 degree C difference in temperature and the AC also takes less time to cool and runs at lower power. I haven't calculated exactly how much difference it makes but, it does.
My dude. This video is soooi helpful. And I loved the fact that how you made this video on a par with professional guide . And how the hell are you living in 34c room jeeez even in summer my room only reach about 31,32 Good thing u have a A/C
Thank you so much!! Glad the video was helpful! And, It gets really hot here! The outside temperature goes well above 45c during summers, so not uncommon for the room to be at 34c 😁
Thank you, Gustav, I've also done a more in-depth video where I show 1-month energy consumption of an Inverter AC, do check that out. ua-cam.com/video/DYX52f5YhTY/v-deo.html
Good presentation. Just wish you compared it with a non inverter AC. So that, if the difference is not much. I can choose to go for non inverter and put it on 26 instead of 16.
I don't understand one thing How does inverter uses less power I think they both spend same amount of power The inverter just slowes down and I think it doesn't let the room change the temp at all and that maybe is the key cause what happen with regular ac is they also stop the compressor completely and then take time to heat or cool the compressor
I wish you have made the same test with the other non inverter A/C you will be surprised that the total average wattage wont differ as much the 1.5kw non inverted AC you should consume a max of 1.1kw and it does not operate all the time, it is on/off about the same time (50% of the time) in that case its average will be exactly the same as the inverter between 0.5 and 0.6kw
I'd actually love to, but Its impossible to compare the both, as they are installed in different rooms with varying heat load and sun facing walls, there is also a significant difference in the size of the room. So, unless both of them are installed in the same room its not a good idea to compare the usage. Anyway, you aren't wrong about the usage, both will end up using roughly the same amount of power, what inverter AC gives you is comfort, as there isn't any temperature or humidity variation.
@@TechGuyCharlie unfortunately it looks like only us in the world agree on that, companies claim upto 60% of power saving, that is a huge huge lie! for gods sake the inrush current that lasts for a split of a sec only 3 times per hour cant create any difference at all !!!
@@GraphicManInnovations of course anyone that shelled out big $$$ for their inverter AC is going to want to justify that decision to themselves haha
Question, how often does the non inverter AC turn off, then turn on. Within a certain time period, example 3 or 6 hours? Should test its total use as well like how you tested the inverter AC
Hi bro, great video, can you compare the power consumption taken on the meter and the power consumption taken on the thinq app, so everyone would know how reliable is the energy monitoring of the app
I am really interested to see [indoor unit] coil temperature comparison. Mine is an old AC (non inverter) and the coil cools down to 4, 5 Celsius. Getting the slightest breeze of that cold air in the middle of the night is not pleasant to say the least. I was thinking why not cooling the coils down to 15 and not more at nights. Maybe inverters are not just more economical, maybe they are more comfortable to be around too :/
Newer LG ACs actually report the indoor coil temperature on smartphones through a feature called smart diagnosis and it varies from 2*C to 19*C depending on how fast the compressor is running, you can see it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/wrVDF7XebIk/v-deo.html
During start up of an inverter and non-inverter ac, I was told that max wattage will be multiplied to 3. I have a 1.5 HP inverter AC and Im looking for a correct size generator. It seems 3000 watts is enough.. Thanks for the video
Thank you and I would say it depends on a lot of factors, the one in this video is a 2hp unit and the max it consumes is 2500watts, and that is on an extremely hot day, 45*C but if the temperature is below 35 the max power consumption never goes above 2000watts, that too only for a few minutes, but you should be good with a 3000watt generator. By the way, some Inverter ACs have a 'Generator' function that limits the max power. On LG you can use energy control to do the same thing.
Whatever you save on the electricity, will probably be spent on repairing the indoor and outdoor unit pcb's. 1. they are very sensitive to power fluctuations and 2. The outdoor pcb is not sealed from the outdoor elements like weather and moisture, these issues are across all manufacturers. Non inverter acs did not have outdoor pcbs nor did they have power supplies on any of the pcbs as they were not dc current based.
I disagree with you! I've got 4 Inverter AC's out of which the oldest one is 7 years old, and runs every day for over 12 hours, on average in high ambient temperatures, and havent had ANY PCB issues, the only time I'd imagine they will have issues is when these AC's are installed near the ocean where the salty moist air eats away the PCB, but then normal ACs don't last very long either in that situation either. But its up to you to go for a normal AC or an Inverter AC.
@@TechGuyCharlie @Tech Guy Charlie your the lucky one. And yes the pcb exposed to outside humidity, is a recipe for disaster. Unless you live somewhere not humid, still the monsoon moisture will affect the pcb. Running the ac for longer durations is good for its life, rather than not using it much. Among the people working on the ACs it's an open secret that the modern acs suffer from pcb plague. Copper pipes or its joints take longer to corrode compared to the tracks on the pcb, with current flowing through it doesn't take much to create short, especially when the outdoor pcbs are not even sealed. Anecdotal evidence is always at odds with probabilistic evidence.
Can you do a test showing how loud your outdoor unit is on the inverter unit when it is ramped up and when it is ticking away? As you can see from my picture I have an lg system as well. I also bought the LGMV wifi module which shows you operating data on your phone or tablet.
I live in a very hot, tropical country. If my dual-inverter aircon barely reaches my target temperature (Ex: Indoor temp is 29-27 degrees C vs. my target of 25-26 degrees C), does it mean that it won't stop and therefore consumes the same amount of electricity as a non-inverter aircon?
I've a query! I have the same AC 1.5, 5 stars LG Dual Inverter split. When the compressor speed is at its slowest (after reaching the desired temperature), the outdoor unit makes a faint high pitched continuous beep sound. Is it the case with inverter compressors? Please verify if this is normal? As soon as the compressor gains a little bit of speed, it goes away. Overall the AC works absolutely fine.
8:03 I just got 1.0hp Daikin Queen series, it runs for 20hrs along with other appliances - gaming PC, non-inverter ref 24/7, lights, tv and all of it consumes 8kwh in 1 24 hour span
mine using mitsubishi inverter 1hp age about 9 years old, runs 12 hours at night and set temperature 27 degree with starting room temperature is 31 degree, power consumption for 12 hours is about 4kW and my room is 1800 sqf.
the invertee technology is very powerful concept can be used in weather, electrity, sound etc.. all it main purpuse is either shift the wave to find 180 shift of critical frquency to neutralized and in electritcity because everything is ground and so if you groubd correctly all you need is the inbound signal not the current and shift it then use it and reflect back neutral and so the metter see no current and your system had same ground and shifted signal so it literrally using electeiciry without the power drain
Did you compare the inverter to non inverter per hour cost to run ? The inverter slows down ,but the non inverter shuts off inverter runs at 600 plus watts constant . Non inverter at 1100 ,but off /on . How long is it off not using power etc .?
I found tests that compared inverter to non inverter . And they claimed the inverter used 40 % less if I remember right. But people have had problems with the circuit boards on inverters . One with geko lizards shorting them out . So putting a bug screen seems like a way to solve that . But also some have reported the units wearing out prematurely here in the philippines , it's suspected the fluctuating power supply is hard on them . Maybe a power surge protector would help that .
As there are WiFi Smart ACs now available in the market, people will probably leave them on standby for most of the time, Can you please measure the standby current ( when the unit is turned off by remote only )? I want to see how much power this AC is consuming when it's on standby and connected to WiFi.
Nice informative video. Is the model PG09 20A suitable for continuous use? (I am guessing that if you are testing the ac unit for one month, then you are putting the meter to continuous use). I am having a LG 2.0 T dual inverter ac. Thanks ..

If we choose to manually change the tonnage to either 80% 60% or 40₹% will the compressor run at that particular speed or will the inverter function slow it even more ?
Thank you and no, they don't have the inrush current surge on startup like non-inverters have, the compressor ramps up slowly, takes about 5 minutes to go to full power.

Do you recommend a 1.5 ton 3 star Inverter AC or 5 star inverter AC for a room in home ? Ideal duration of usage would be 5 hrs on an average with 2 hours of continuous run.
Always go with 5 Star models when it comes to 1.5 Tons because 3 Star units have smaller indoor units, thus smaller evaporator coils which makes then in-efficient.

Hi! I really appreciate you making this video as I was really looking for something like this to update myself on the consumption these inverter Ac’s do. Even I have ordered this Meco powerguard PG09 model but I received 1A model , So I just wanted to confirm what model are you using in this video is it 1A or 20A? I would be thankful if you can share a link for the same. Thanks
Hey! I am glad the video was helpful, and the meter I am using is the 20amp version, I always include my amazon affiliate purchase links in the description, it should direct you to the 20amp version of this meter.
Dude, I wanr to know if some how I manage to give 2KW to the AC By using Invertor and batteries, will this work? I got 1.5 Ton (3 star Power rating of 1740W)
First of all, you explained it really well, appreciate it. The thing I want to ask is that I heard for the first hour you should set the temperature at 16 to 18°c and then in 1 hour you can shift to 26 to 28°c and it will consume very less units. is that right ? You showed that when the inverter was running at 27°c once the temperature was achieved, it consumed really less ampaires. But what if you run the inverter continously at 18 or 20°c, will it consume less ampaire then also?? Thanks, I will be waitin for your reply patiently.
No, it works much harder to maintain much lower temperature then what's outside. To save power set it to lowest difference between outside and inside Temperature.
Hi, I have quick question regarding your PC. I saw on video that you are having 650w SMPS on your system. And also you are using APC ups, can you please share details of the ups and arrangements that you have made also how long does it gives a backup. That would help me alot. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Many thanks 😊
I have a doubt. When I switch in my ac as soon as my stablizer turns green the ac unit first run on fan for 10minutes and then start cooling it. But if i switch on my ac after 30minutes when stabilizer turns green then the ac unit starts cooling the room on the go. My doubt is why does this happens? Is it good or not? Is it energy efficient method?
Yup, 27-28 degrees gives you the best power savings, but at 28 it feels a little warm, especially at night. During day time when its 40+ degrees then 27-28 is perfect.
Wondering how much power AC consumes at 22 vs 24 vs 26*C? check this video out: ua-cam.com/video/3rvjdzKCLRY/v-deo.html

How long did it take to reach desired temp and your compressor turned off?

How does inverter uses less power I think they both spend same amount of power
The inverter just slowes down and I think it doesn't let the room change the temp at all and that maybe is the key cause what happen with regular ac is they also stop the compressor completely and then take time to heat or cool the compressor
It is smarter than normal ac. the difference is not that big anyway.
Can we use this everytime or throughout with Ac instaed of meter.
I wish you have made the same test with the other non inverter A/C
you will be surprised that the total average wattage wont differ as much
the 1.5kw non inverted AC you should consume a max of 1.1kw and it does not operate all the time, it is on/off about the same time (50% of the time) in that case its average will be exactly the same as the inverter between 0.5 and 0.6kw

So, unless both of them are installed in the same room its not a good idea to compare the usage.
Anyway, you aren't wrong about the usage, both will end up using roughly the same amount of power, what inverter AC gives you is comfort, as there isn't any temperature or humidity variation.
@@TechGuyCharlie unfortunately it looks like only us in the world agree on that, companies claim upto 60% of power saving, that is a huge huge lie! for gods sake the inrush current that lasts for a split of a sec only 3 times per hour cant create any difference at all !!!
@@GraphicManInnovations of course anyone that shelled out big $$$ for their inverter AC is going to want to justify that decision to themselves haha
Great job
I was really worried to know the current consumption. Now i am happy
Really good video man
but i reccomend you to selecto your fan on auto. On this way the a/c is going to cool down the room more efficiently
this is awesome ive been looking for a video like this for a long time..
Glad I could help
@@TechGuyCharlie hope u could make a video soon comparing it to non-inverter ac as well thank u
I hope you can answer is dual inverter affected by oversizing issues? Like smaller rooms with high ton of ac?
Question, how often does the non inverter AC turn off, then turn on. Within a certain time period, example 3 or 6 hours?
Should test its total use as well like how you tested the inverter AC
About 70-80% of the time.
Hi bro, great video, can you compare the power consumption taken on the meter and the power consumption taken on the thinq app, so everyone would know how reliable is the energy monitoring of the app
Thanks a lot man, but i came here expecting the comparison ordinary vs inverter
Man thank you so much for the video was really helpful and where did you but that meter and what do you call it
Thank you, Frank, I bought the meter on Amazon, its just a 20amp energy meter.
Hi , is 1.5 ton equivalent to 18 000 btu? what is written on the label of your ac ?
Quality content
Thank bro! 😊
I am really interested to see [indoor unit] coil temperature comparison. Mine is an old AC (non inverter) and the coil cools down to 4, 5 Celsius. Getting the slightest breeze of that cold air in the middle of the night is not pleasant to say the least. I was thinking why not cooling the coils down to 15 and not more at nights. Maybe inverters are not just more economical, maybe they are more comfortable to be around too :/
Newer LG ACs actually report the indoor coil temperature on smartphones through a feature called smart diagnosis and it varies from 2*C to 19*C depending on how fast the compressor is running, you can see it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/wrVDF7XebIk/v-deo.html
During start up of an inverter and non-inverter ac, I was told that max wattage will be multiplied to 3.
I have a 1.5 HP inverter AC and Im looking for a correct size generator. It seems 3000 watts is enough.. Thanks for the video
Thank you and I would say it depends on a lot of factors, the one in this video is a 2hp unit and the max it consumes is 2500watts, and that is on an extremely hot day, 45*C but if the temperature is below 35 the max power consumption never goes above 2000watts, that too only for a few minutes, but you should be good with a 3000watt generator.
By the way, some Inverter ACs have a 'Generator' function that limits the max power. On LG you can use energy control to do the same thing.
look up the model number's datasheet/user manual / ask the manufacturer
Thx man you explain it all, just i wish if you did compare between normal and inverter ac consumption in 6 hours. Good job bro
Whatever you save on the electricity, will probably be spent on repairing the indoor and outdoor unit pcb's. 1. they are very sensitive to power fluctuations and 2. The outdoor pcb is not sealed from the outdoor elements like weather and moisture, these issues are across all manufacturers. Non inverter acs did not have outdoor pcbs nor did they have power supplies on any of the pcbs as they were not dc current based.
I disagree with you! I've got 4 Inverter AC's out of which the oldest one is 7 years old, and runs every day for over 12 hours, on average in high ambient temperatures, and havent had ANY PCB issues, the only time I'd imagine they will have issues is when these AC's are installed near the ocean where the salty moist air eats away the PCB, but then normal ACs don't last very long either in that situation either.
But its up to you to go for a normal AC or an Inverter AC.
@@TechGuyCharlie @Tech Guy Charlie your the lucky one. And yes the pcb exposed to outside humidity, is a recipe for disaster. Unless you live somewhere not humid, still the monsoon moisture will affect the pcb. Running the ac for longer durations is good for its life, rather than not using it much. Among the people working on the ACs it's an open secret that the modern acs suffer from pcb plague. Copper pipes or its joints take longer to corrode compared to the tracks on the pcb, with current flowing through it doesn't take much to create short, especially when the outdoor pcbs are not even sealed. Anecdotal evidence is always at odds with probabilistic evidence.
Thanks man. Exactly what I was looking for. Just as I thought of some detail that I am wondering about, you explaimed it.
Glad I could help! 😊
Can you do a test showing how loud your outdoor unit is on the inverter unit when it is ramped up and when it is ticking away? As you can see from my picture I have an lg system as well. I also bought the LGMV wifi module which shows you operating data on your phone or tablet.
I live in a very hot, tropical country. If my dual-inverter aircon barely reaches my target temperature (Ex: Indoor temp is 29-27 degrees C vs. my target of 25-26 degrees C), does it mean that it won't stop and therefore consumes the same amount of electricity as a non-inverter aircon?
Very nice review and explanation, easy to understand. Can the kwatt result apply to 1hp inverter unit with 4 stars too?
I've a query! I have the same AC 1.5, 5 stars LG Dual Inverter split. When the compressor speed is at its slowest (after reaching the desired temperature), the outdoor unit makes a faint high pitched continuous beep sound. Is it the case with inverter compressors? Please verify if this is normal? As soon as the compressor gains a little bit of speed, it goes away. Overall the AC works absolutely fine.
Pls do an energy consumption test running the AC in dry mode .. i heard it consumes even lesser power
do you compare the watt usage between inverter and non inverter? can you share the result?
8:03 I just got 1.0hp Daikin Queen series, it runs for 20hrs along with other appliances - gaming PC, non-inverter ref 24/7, lights, tv and all of it consumes 8kwh in 1 24 hour span
mine using mitsubishi inverter 1hp age about 9 years old, runs 12 hours at night and set temperature 27 degree with starting room temperature is 31 degree, power consumption for 12 hours is about 4kW and my room is 1800 sqf.
It will be more helpful if you added the same process with non Inverter AC. Nice video.
how many minutes does the compressor slows down when it reaches the set temp and reduce wattage ?
the invertee technology is very powerful concept can be used in weather, electrity, sound etc.. all it main purpuse is either shift the wave to find 180 shift of critical frquency to neutralized and in electritcity because everything is ground and so if you groubd correctly all you need is the inbound signal not the current and shift it then use it and reflect back neutral and so the metter see no current and your system had same ground and shifted signal so it literrally using electeiciry without the power drain
Did you compare the inverter to non inverter per hour cost to run ?
The inverter slows down ,but the non inverter shuts off inverter runs at 600 plus watts constant . Non inverter at 1100 ,but off /on .
How long is it off not using power etc .?
Yes i can
I found tests that compared inverter to non inverter . And they claimed the inverter used 40 % less if I remember right.
But people have had problems with the circuit boards on inverters . One with geko lizards shorting them out . So putting a bug screen seems like a way to solve that . But also some have reported the units wearing out prematurely here in the philippines , it's suspected the fluctuating power supply is hard on them . Maybe a power surge protector would help that .
As there are WiFi Smart ACs now available in the market, people will probably leave them on standby for most of the time, Can you please measure the standby current ( when the unit is turned off by remote only )? I want to see how much power this AC is consuming when it's on standby and connected to WiFi.
4:37 bro did u just say outside temp is 34 degree Celsius at 2 AM ?? Midights are almost cool right??
Nice informative video. Is the model PG09 20A suitable for continuous use? (I am guessing that if you are testing the ac unit for one month, then you are putting the meter to continuous use). I am having a LG 2.0 T dual inverter ac. Thanks ..
UNE QUESTION? EST IL POSSIBLE DE HACKER SA CONSOMMATION ELECTRICITÉ AVEC UN INVERTER MONTE SUR UN CIRCUIT D'ALIMENTATION SECTEUR DOMESTIQUE POUR UN APPAREIL SPÉCIFIQUEMENT?
Commendable job man. Can you plz do this on some other products also it will be so helpful
what is the name of this device? 8:02 thank you
If we choose to manually change the tonnage to either 80% 60% or 40₹% will the compressor run at that particular speed or will the inverter function slow it even more ?
Is it dual inverter ac? Which year model?
A Microwave runs about 1100 kwh. How much will a 3.5 ton trane be running?
Great job Charlie, can you please let me know if inverter ACs have surge watts at the startup
Thank you and no, they don't have the inrush current surge on startup like non-inverters have, the compressor ramps up slowly, takes about 5 minutes to go to full power.
@@TechGuyCharlie thank you much appreciated 😊
Hi, can increasing the temperature setting compensate for running my inverter split 2.5hp aircon longer eg from 8-10hrs at 25degC to 12-15hrs at 27degC?
Mere lg dual inverter ac ka compressor fan band ho jata hai... Jab temperature attain ho jata hai tab... Fir firse start ho jata hai jab temp badh jata hai tab... Ye sabhi dual inverter ac me hota hai kya???
Which is better Samsung 8pole inverter AC vs LG dual inverter?
Merry Christmas dude 😃😃😃
That's impressive. Thanks for the explanation.
Do you recommend a 1.5 ton 3 star Inverter AC or 5 star inverter AC for a room in home ? Ideal duration of usage would be 5 hrs on an average with 2 hours of continuous run.
Always go with 5 Star models when it comes to 1.5 Tons because 3 Star units have smaller indoor units, thus smaller evaporator coils which makes then in-efficient.
What if you start from 18 degrees? What’s the full power until it gets to 18 and the power consumption afterwards compared to 26?
bhaiya mera godrej ka 1.5 ton ac ka inverter ac agar 26 meh set karke meh rakhu aur temp 26 ho jai room ka toh compressor directly band ho jata ha but indoor unit ka fan on rehta ha fir jab room temp 27 hota toh compressor full load meh chalne lagta ha mujhe lag raha ha ki mera ac non inverter ac ki tarah ho gaya ha aur bill bhi jada aa raha ha bhaiya isme kis cheez ki dikat ho sakti ha plz batana reply dena plz

I have lg dual inverter 1.5 3 star 3.68 ser AC..i normally run at 26-28 for 8 hour but as the temperature is going up MY AC consumption UNit is also going up and also my Outdoor unit is at a place where already 3 more AC are there below it. And even keeping at 23-28 its consuming like 1 -1.5 unit / hour. Can you please help
Hi! I really appreciate you making this video as I was really looking for something like this to update myself on the consumption these inverter Ac’s do. Even I have ordered this Meco powerguard PG09 model but I received 1A model , So I just wanted to confirm what model are you using in this video is it 1A or 20A? I would be thankful if you can share a link for the same.
Thanks
Hey! I am glad the video was helpful, and the meter I am using is the 20amp version, I always include my amazon affiliate purchase links in the description, it should direct you to the 20amp version of this meter.
3.56kwh running for 6hour 11minute with temperature 26c. Am i correct?
Great Job. Detailed and well explained.
Thank you! 😊
Dude, I wanr to know if some how I manage to give 2KW to the AC By using Invertor and batteries, will this work? I got 1.5 Ton (3 star Power rating of 1740W)
need to buy that temperature meter for measuring outside temperature, price?
Thanks for the video... Very precise and lucid.
I am thinking of getting one for myself.
would be great if there's a non-inverter AC version of this!
Why every power consumed video done on lg ac? Why?
Do ur own video then. Tq
@@MAWANMUHAMMADAMMAR i have hitachi 1.5 ton 5300fx
@@ashishpal8362 how much you getting current bill for month using ac
First of all, you explained it really well, appreciate it.
The thing I want to ask is that I heard for the first hour you should set the temperature at 16 to 18°c and then in 1 hour you can shift to 26 to 28°c and it will consume very less units. is that right ?
You showed that when the inverter was running at 27°c once the temperature was achieved, it consumed really less ampaires. But what if you run the inverter continously at 18 or 20°c, will it consume less ampaire then also??
Thanks, I will be waitin for your reply patiently.
No, it works much harder to maintain much lower temperature then what's outside. To save power set it to lowest difference between outside and inside Temperature.
Nice and easy 👌 demo
Easy to understand 👍
Good Job 👍
Thank you so much 😊😊
How is the cooling at 500 watts? And also see units at 30 degree only
Hi, I have quick question regarding your PC. I saw on video that you are having 650w SMPS on your system. And also you are using APC ups, can you please share details of the ups and arrangements that you have made also how long does it gives a backup. That would help me alot.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Many thanks 😊
Hey please answer, it will help me alot. Thanks 😊
I have a doubt.
When I switch in my ac as soon as my stablizer turns green the ac unit first run on fan for 10minutes and then start cooling it. But if i switch on my ac after 30minutes when stabilizer turns green then the ac unit starts cooling the room on the go.
My doubt is why does this happens? Is it good or not? Is it energy efficient method?
27-28°C is enough for power saving in inverter AC.
Yup, 27-28 degrees gives you the best power savings, but at 28 it feels a little warm, especially at night. During day time when its 40+ degrees then 27-28 is perfect.
Please let us know consumption with non inverter ac
My room size is 10X12. What should I purchase 1 ton or 1.5 Dual inverter ac?
