    LG split ac Cooling problem help

    Installation looks to be fine. Clogged IDU filter or clogged fins in ODU may be an issue. You can inspect and clean them accordingly. However, since it is under warranty, you can call the service center people. Regarding gas leak, is the AC discharging cool air? Check it in the night time. If...

    I think you should get the inverter inspected. The fan is supposed to run to cool the transformers only when it is active during charging/ discharging

    Need help with Power Problem

    During power cuts, the APC inverter should serve you fine. I suggest you go for Exide Invatubular battery for getting good backup during long power cuts. For the LCD Tv, you can get a voltage stabilizer (from a reputed brand like VGuard). I feel it would be better than the UPS for power...

    Need help with Power Problem

    It seems the supply voltage range in your house is outside the "tolerable" limits for most appliances. While the inverter would serve you during power cuts, I recommend you get a mainline stabilizer for your entire house. Depending on your usage and appliances, you can choose the rating. VGuard...

    Extreme low voltage. Best Air con stabilizer

    On the contrary, I would say that a lower rating might damage the compressor due to frequent cut offs whenever it is not able to support the load. I think you should go for the VEW500 if the price difference is not too high.

    Induction stove with a 850va inverter

    It is better that the induction stove is not connected to an inverter, especially if it has a very low capacity of 850VA. The starting current required by the stove is not known. I can quote an example from my experience- my 875VA microtek UPS was not able to support my 260ltr refrigerator...

    Suggestion needed for new top loading automatic washing machine

    After a lot of study, went ahead and bought the Whirlpool Bloomwash 360 washing machine (top load) around 3 weeks back. The wash quality has been very satisfying and the inbuilt heater is a very good option, especially for washing white or soiled clothes. The brands and models which were under...

    Need some gyan on 'actual' EER ratings and also suggestions for an AC :)

    Well, if budget is not a constraint, I would suggest Hitachi. But do check out the service response in your area before buying Hitachi, or for that matter, any brand. Panasonic Cube is built on the split model and is also a good A/C, but a bit noisy. I do not have any first hand experience with...

    Need some gyan on 'actual' EER ratings and also suggestions for an AC :)

    1 Ton A/C would be sufficient. Considering the fact that you'll be moving within an year, window A/C is advisable over split. The problem with split A/C is that the bends in cooper connecting pipes may get hardened over the period of an year and hence when you re-locate, you may be advised to...

    High Output Voltage in Microtek Home UPS

    I have a digital volt meter, which measures the voltage being fed to the circuit on a real-time basis. Additionally, I have verified it with a digital multi-meter and both the meters gave the same reading.

    High Output Voltage in Microtek Home UPS

    Dear Members, I have a Microtek Sinewave home UPS (SWE2-875) coupled with a Exide 150Ah Invatubular Battery for the past 1.5 years. While the performance so far has been satisfactory, one issue is bothering me. The UPS is giving output at 245-250 V at no load, which is shooting upto 260V on...

    AC for a 120Sqft bedroom in Mumbai

    Congratulations on your purchase. Good to note that a 0.75 tonne A/C is effective in a 120 sq.ft room. Can we have a few pics of the installation (both indoor & outdoor units) if you don't mind? Also, how much did it cost you, inclusive of installation?

    With the summer heat increasing, I can still feel no appreciable drop in cooling capacity/ efficiency due to the exposed copper pipes of my Samsung 1.5T split A/C. The exposed portion is roughly 2.5 mtrs in length. Request members to comment on whether leaving the copper pipes uninsulated and...

    Inverter Ups help!

    I have been using Microtek SWE2 875 without any trouble for the past 1 1/2 years, alongwith Exide Invatubular battery. For 2 hours backup on the given load, a 875-900 VA inverter would suffice. However, for 5 hours backup on the full given load, a 1400VA double battery inverter may be required...

    1 Ton split ac which can work in 150 w

    Hi Sam, You may enquire about Samsung AC's with in-built stabilizer, which claim to work at as low as 135V. However, since 150V is the maximum that you get, I suggest you take a separate stabilizer as well alongwith the AC. That way, you'll have more flexibility as far as the choice of AC...
