You won't find brand new Daikin product in Nigeria except Tokunbo and they are of high standard (copper condenser)

I don't know if any of the brand you listed has a range of low voltage series

Thank you chief


I once saw Daikin at Panaserv though

I don't know if they're original Daikin or another country of origin.

Thank you but the information came in late. I had suspended the purchase

I am about going again today

Please I don't want an inverter unit coz of bad reviews about panel issues and poor cooling capacity.

I want a low energy starter and low energy running unit that is durable and efficient.

I've done researches and I'm confused.

Panasonic, Gree and Daikin are too power hungry and expensive from my research.

I've been looking at TCL and Scanfrost, but I must say I'm confused.

Guys please help me make a choice

1hp or 1.5hp with low energy consumption, but non inverter

mangolpupa:


LG dual cool inverter. Much quiet operation and cools. Secondly if buying from authorised dealer you get product warranty. Should it go bad, parts and knowledge to correct it will be easier cause its an established brand in Nigeria.

Please assist with the above biko

sacramento1212:


I prefer the Kenstar.

But the 2KVA generator will be stressed in powering the 1hp Unit.

icold:
Any reviews of SCANFROST acs?

I'd also be interested in this review

only inverter AC can give you low energy consumption o. About the inverter panel, na lie. I used hisense inverterAC and they are very rugged, I later sold it to get LG dual inverter, person wey I sell am to dey enjoy am. I think they have really improved on inverter panels.

Any non inverter is power hungry. You can get low voltage starters from non inverters too. but then, If I were to go for non inverter I would buy thermocool tundra or hisense.

But you'll see some non inverter ACs having lower energy input rating than some branded inverter ACs.

For instance there's a TCL non inverter AC (1hp) that has 850w rating whereas there are inverter ACs with 900w or more. And the TCL is cheap at about 165k although with just one year warranty.

I understand where AnnieTiz is concerned. I am equally concerned too. Something is not clear

I hope you've gotten a unit. Please tell us which u went for and possible experiences with it.

I'm equally in an almost same shoe with you

Meanwhile

Who knows much about TCL and Scanfrost units?

I have been tempted by a TCL 1hp non Inverter with energy rating of 850w. Although I'm not convinced by their one year warranty. It's a cheap unit tho at 165k

Thank you for reaching out

Panasonic and Daikin inverters were too expensive for me.

The vendor was trying to convince me on four products namely: Hisense, Skyrun, Scanfrost, TCL.

I was tilting towards Scanfrost but I had to hold on for professional advise.

The AC technician I know was just concerned about me getting any unit, not minding my satisfaction for money spent in this harsh economy.

I went back home o. I'm sorry but I'm a very frugal person with money coz it's not easy getting it.

I can't afford weekly repairs and I can't afford high cost of Panasonic either

Which city are u in?

Are you sure we're not talking about same vendor?

Hello Guys, for a standard living room space Say 30 square meters, I'm stuck between buying 1.5hp or 2hp Inverter AC, thinking about buying LG btw.

The cost for the 2hp is sooo much compared to 1.5hp, My question is, will 1.5hp serve a standard living room , or do I need to break the bank by all means for a 2hp?

I will not buy hisense or scanfrost. I don't know much about skyrun or TCL. We have so much of the new names on Air-conditioner brands, even though they will work but I'm majorly after reliability and long term durability.

If you cannot afford those reliable Brands, then go for LG.

Why don't you like Scanfrost?

Please educate me more

They don't have a name when it comes to air-conditioning. There are brands that once you mention, you know what to expect from them. It's just like saying buying Hisense TV as against Samsung or Sony or even LG. Hisense doesn't measure up in this case in the aspect of quality.

Okay chief

I thought you've had or you know someone who's had terrible experiences with the brand's AC units

I've only used Scanfrost on a deep freezer but not air-conditioner. My experience with the brand wasn't good anyway. But one thing you should know is that every Brand new AC no matter the brand will work but long term durability or reliability will differ according to the Brand and that's what matters.

I've a National window AC that is still working factory compressor, nothing worked on since it was bought since 2006 till date. Some Brands would have packed up and that's the long term durability i talk about.

You are right


That's why the Panasonics and Daikins are expensive.

You do recommend LG, but I think I see a lot of LG units pack up.

I don't know if Kenstar units can stand the time test since it's from same Panasonic family

Well, i recommend LG because they are relatively reliable when compared to the new names. Again, buying an LG unit from their authorized distributor which is Fouani will give you up to a year warranty.

All the LG units I've purchased have all performed without any issue. I also heard Kenstar is good but one reason that makes people go for all those unpopular brands is majorly as a result of their budget.

Sacramento1212 and other AC guru. I intend mounting my new inverter AC tomorrow. Someone said I should make sure they VACUM the AC because of air. So the performance will be good.

The problem is this is the first time I'm hearing about vacumming AC during installation and some of the technician here are saying they do not know what that is.

My friend said I should look for a professional to do it. He said it makes it cool well.

My question is, must the AC be VACUMMEd? I'm asking incase I do not get professionals to do the vacumming during installation.

Abi make I just go ahead mount am without doin the vacum thing

He's right but where will you get an installer that will do that for you? Many of them don't have the tools/equipment for that type of Job. But if you see anyone that has it, then go for it but if not, go ahead and install the unit.

Even a car AC system, after you replace either compressor, condenser or evaporator and you need to add freon, then vacuuming will make the job perfect and chill better. But like i said, what we lack here is technicians with equipments for such. So don't bother yourself, go ahead and install.

Lol.
I called like 4 AC installers wey I know, all of them no even know wetin be the vacum .

I even contacted fouani and they gave me an installer number, he say e never hear vacuming AC before
. Our Naija technicians need better upgrade. Most of them just love and prefer old school.

I can't come and kee myself, na to just call one of them make them mount am like that.. No added stress

That person is right. Infact the recommended steps are to check the pressure on the lines and then vaccum the line.

However upon researching, some ac don't need to be vacuumed apparently due to their design.

There are lots of services which our technicians deliver to us which are subpar. It doesn't necessarily mean things won't work but it means at best, they won't work as well as designed or at worst, the will not reach the design product life.

Is it possible to ask your friend that made that suggestion to recommend an installer for you. He must have made that valuable suggestion from experience.

If you don't mind, what is the ac product or model

I appreciate.

I will ask him to recommend. But then, the challenge is he doesn't even stay within my location. E go dey stressful to transport his installer to my location.

My Ac is LG dual inverter. I pray LG designed their AC to be installed without vacumming. All the installers my location na better old schls

Wahala Wahala Wahala... when fouani recommended "professional" installers never hear about vacumming ac before gas installation.

My 2 pennies advise, tarry a little and get it right, first time. You ac is new, it's a lot of money. The installation cost is a fraction of the item bought. If you can wait, spend small time and get ac installer that understands what needs to be done.

Ok thanks. this is my alt account. I couldn't get any good installer who has the vacumming machine within the area. The locals ones around here complained the machine is expensive to acquire. I took the risk and mounted the AC like that.

Make I review the AC

No wahala. I'm confident your AC will work just fine. Truth is many AC installed don't follow best practices like vacuuming etc. Which were put in place for reason.

My brother just enjoy your AC jare.

As a side note, technical knowledge and application in the country is abysmal. And if you're someone that likes to know what is going on with your job. You will be shocked.

Back in the day, it should be technicians educating "you" on solutions and procedures. Today, it's customers suggesting solutions and procedures.

Ah, no new Daikin in Nigerian bawo! Daikin has authorized Dealers in Nigeria. Their adverts have been all over for months now.
I just bought 3Units of their 2HP Inverter. It's an incredible product, even better than Panasonic I believe.
