I just rented a 210 SqFt office space. After been through many Air Conditioning related post I finally made my mind for 2 ton Split AC from Bluestar or Voltas.

Market price of 2T Bluestar is around 33K and for Voltas is 31K.

I Know O’General is the best deal but it’s way too expensive so i decided to go for mid range and finally end up with above two brands. Nothing finalize yet.

Just want to have honest opinion from you guys. Which one should i go for? Or suggest any alternative for Delhi atmospheric conditions. Can anyone tell me which is the best deal out there specifically for split AC?

Any Help Appreciated!!

Thanks.

why dont u take one of those ACs which have a single compressor but 2 bodies. So if u need just one to be on u can switch off one. Save energy. Plus have the air being blowed from 2 diff sections.

I am looking to buy 1.5 ton split A/C for my Home Theatre. The blower needs to be as silent as possible. Which one do you suggest? Budget is 30k (a/c, installation & stabiliser included).

How are the casette a/c's that fit on the ceiling? I saw a LG 2ftx2ft model at a showroom yesterday. How much space does it need above the false ceiling? Also, how much do these costs, what brands are good and where to buy in Bangalore?

Thanks dantool.

Was enquiring on phone and and reading online. It seems Hitachi 1.2 is enough for my room size i.e, 15ft X 12ft and 8ft height. Also, the fact that the room is well insulated(for sound-proofing) should make it easier for cooling.

I have just got a quote for Hitachi 1.2 Ton ACE-cutout model. Price offered is Rs.29,400 for the Unit, Rs.1300 for stabiliser(will not buy from this chap, buy v-guard) and Rs.1000 for installation.

Well I dont know whats the trend now. But last year I got three Splits all of them Assembled with Hitachi's 1.5T compressor and Azure's body. I must say the three at my home and office perform exceptionally well.. Each costed me around 23K with stablizer.

And trust me I have a 20X15 sized room and i keep ac's temprature at 27-28 and it cools like crazy..

Sorry for not updating back on this thread. I ended up paying 33k including installation and a stand for the outdoor unit. I had to pay almost 1k extra for the installation as my installation turned out to be lot more complex than we had originally imagined. Took about 8 hours to install as we were faced with issues while drilling the hole through the wall for the pipes to pass to the outdoor unit:(.

But the Hitachi does chill very well even when I set it at 27 degrees:hap2:.
