I'll draw your attention to another factor. If your ambient humidity is more then do not get a higher than needed capacity ac.Like for example croma is listing BTU.
DAIKIN Standard Plus 1 Ton 3 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper Condenser, Air Purification Filter, ATKL35UV) https://www.croma.com/daikin-standa...M3lLDueO9jyBHm4RwRPHioiXZRrEeVFxoCzvUQAvD_BwE
Can you explain the BTU for this model?View attachment 45002
I didnt knew that about Mitsubishi.Whichever company you go with, make sure they have their own company-operated service network(and it is present in your location). The best brand as per my experience is Mitsubishi, but they offer only third-party after-sales support. The guy who came to fix my AC unit ended u ripping it apart due to inexperience and I ended up scrapping it. That's why I only stick to LG and Samsung now.
I use LG both in my residence and my office. I have not had any issues related to service from LG. Very quick turnaround time and reasonable pricing. Fortunately, I have had them over only once for some part replacement and it was done in 2 days. I have 4 & 5 star rated units and the energy consumption is very nominal. Cooling takes a bit of time, but it is very energy-efficient. Mitsubishi and Daikin have the best performance(in terms of cooling) and are very energy efficient as well. I have 2 Mitsubishi ACs still running for the last 8 years without a problem. The third one went kaput due to voltage fluctuations and I had to dump it for the reasons mentioned earlier. So you can take the call accordingly now.I didnt knew that about Mitsubishi.
I heard LG service is particularly bad. Hows your experience?
What was the cost like to replace pcb each time?We have Hitachi 1.5 ton AC in our house since 5 years. Cooling is exceptional, but don't know if my unit's faulty or what, it underwent 2 PCB changes. I would suggest General or Mitsubishi, but keep in mind about the after sales service of both. I think LG is the best in after sales services.
Replacing PCB twice in 5 years is too much. Either power supply is extremely erratic - even beyond the control of stabilizers - or - the installed capacity is insufficient for your type of usage. 26degreesC is ideal. If the unit is running always around 19-20degreesC, then such things happen. Have a relook at it.We have Hitachi 1.5 ton AC in our house since 5 years.

Luckily, it has 5 years PCB warranty, so only labour charges of 600 rs. Also, 5 years PCB warranty is a must when buying an inverter AC.What was the cost like to replace pcb each time?
It's a 12x12 room and installed both AC box and stabilizer as well. It always runs at 27 degrees.Replacing PCB twice in 5 years is too much.

Buy 2 1.5 T from IFB, their max goes up to 1.7 if reqd.. and gd serviceHi looking to purchase both a 1.5 ton & 1 ton AC for rooms.
Previous samsung split bought in 2011 1.5 ton performed well
My room size I measured is actually 291.675 sq ft & is on 1st floor with roof on top exposed to direct sun from 1 side
On Hitachi website it says it needs 291.675 * 120 = 35001 BTU cooling capacity
35001/12000 btu 2.91675 tr which means I need 2.91 ton AC
Another website says 291.75 needs to be multiplied by 25 to get BTU
Also there are so many features to choose from.
If you've used the ACs & actually found them to be useful instead if gimmicks please comment

Please share the AC models you would sugfest
Interesting point, @plastikman.I'll draw your attention to another factor. If your ambient humidity is more then do not get a higher than needed capacity ac.
If the AC undersized, the compressor will run continuously and reduce humidity to undesirable low levels.
If your AC capacity is oversized then it'll run the compressor for short duration and keep blower on continuously which will increase humidity.
Try to keep humidity between 40% to 60% in room for best comfort.
1 ton would be fine.Interesting point, @plastikman.
My room's dimensions are 366 (W) x 316 cm (L) x 315 (H) cm. It's in the ground floor (With two floors above), and Sunlight falls directly in my room most of the day. There's a pond behind my house, and since I'm in Kolkata, there's usually too much humidity (More than 50-70%) most of the year.
So, what tonnage AC should I go for? Most sites suggested 1 ton, but they didn't consider the humidity factor.

Since, it is impossible to know the actual heat load in your room, and also the fact that ACs are available as either 1.0 ton or 1.5 ton; only empirical thumb rules have to be relied upon.Interesting point, @plastikman.

I already have an LG 1 Ton 4 Star AC, which I purchased in Oct '23. Although the built quality is nice, but its vertical swing sucks. Doesn't go down to the desired level. And the fan speed is very-very low too even in highest speed.Try this ac https://amzn.to/4asOTYo
Rated cooling capacity of 3195w suits your room size.
Set it to 40% once the room cool down to set temperature.
40% mode take care of humidity with very low power bill.
LG service is very prompt in most of metros.
