Hello,

Firstly, thanks for checking. I would like to get ideas from you guys.

I am planning to move in a new apartment and want to get a split Airconditioner. Knowing the matter of prepaid meter and power hugging appliances like A/C. After reading so much about the LG GenCOOL Dual Inverter Split unit and also watched so many practical reviews, i have decided not to get anything else.

HELP 1
This morning, i called a friend who is an A/C engineer to inform him of my plan and he said he wont advise me to. I was surprised and asked why?

He claimed tho the LG GenCOOL looks good with its features but that there is a "Panel" which makes the AC pull 110V instead of 220V and that if the panel happens to be faulty, its difficult to fix or likely not-fixable which they would have to convert the AC direct to 220 which "in his own words" doesnt sound reasonable.

HELP 2
I then told him the reason why i wanted the GenCOOL, which he knows its because of the Prepaid meter billing system. So i asked him if using the normal (Non-GenCOOL) AC wont amount to financial suicide. He then asked why would i want to put AC on Prepaid Meter and said i should just tell my electrician to connect it directly to the feeder pole, i laughed and asked how then would i be charged for that usage and i cant afford the defaulting fee? He said its not illegal and its what they do very well, he even said i can ask a "NEPA" official to connect it for me.

So, my AC / NEPA ogas, help me oooo. How do i do?

Thank you.

Make sure u keep 53k aside for penalty after doing that illegal connection.
