Hello,

I need to buy new AC for 190 sqft room top floor (sun directly hits the roof). So I know I need at least 2 Ton, but confusion is many people says that few brands 1.5 Ton AC's cooling is equivalent to 2 Ton in the other. So which brand I need and what tonnage?

A bit history on why I want new AC.
My first AC was 1.5 ton Voltas non inverter, It ran good the first year but cooling reduced from next year.
Many technicians have visited only to tell me that my AC is running perfectly. God knows what happened. But it won't chill the room as it used to do before and the compressor continues to run and room temp goes down but very slow. After so many diagnostics I came to a conclusion that because the unit was not vacuumed at install time, it's cooling efficiency was reduced but all technicians deny this fact. But I don't want to waste anymore time and money on this, I would rather buy new. My current AC already 5 years old now but this problem started happening since 2020, I bought it in 2019. In a nutshell I want to avoid this voltas brand all together.


Back to where we were, this post is about which brand's AC is must buy and what tonnage do I need 1.5 or 2 and it's cooling capacity, I want non inverter only.


Regards!
 
I honestly find it surprising when you say Daikin ODU is noisy. I mean, their sound dampening jackets in 2024 models are more than 2x thick than what Panasonic or LG offers. And it seems like good quality. Now despite this if the machine makes noise, I am certain someone is getting paid to sit inside Daikin ODU and make noise.

Jokes apart, take a look for yourself what Daikin does to ensure sound is reduced to minimum.

Yes, LG as of now has the most serviceable network. But then, quality of service is more important than quantity. With margins shrinking, don't expect good after sales support.

Feku newzzz. My 1.5 year old Daikin is quite quiet both indoor and outdoor. And cooling is excellent too. I especially like the power chill mode which runs for 20 minutes at full fan and compressor levels.

@vishalrao was getting the Daikin one serviced today and came to know that the clip for the cover is broken [ was broken in last servicing I assume ] this is also adding to the noise.
