Updated by ckb Added :Now I have checked up my electricity bills and found out that this unit
alone consuming about Rs8000/- per month for a temperature setting 29-32
degrees centigrade of indoor unit X 7 to 8 hours per day ( I don't
expect a funny reply from DAIKIN that this AC is not made for 29-32
degrees Centigrade). The inverter model which is suppose to save 40-60%
electricity but in this particular case the unit is cooling the
atmosphere, dumping the cooling into environment and thus eaten up a
huge consumption. During hot days chilling of condenser coils of OD unit
could not be noticed but in present time of high humidity and low
outside temperature which is 25-27, the same has immediately found. Now
the question is that how much power had already been wasted during peak
summer when outside temperature was 38-40 degrees during night time
could be easily assessed by any technical person. As a user I don't have
any precise equipment to provide you exact values but I kept a close
watch the performance functioning of said faulty DAIKIN inverter AC 1.5
Ton (FTKP16PRV50 1.5 ton split) . As for as company is concerned they
have not supplied any information to the customer that this machine is
chilling the atmosphere and costing you more on electricity bill,
secondly it gives you odour in dry weather. The issue of bad odour came
to surface within seven day of installation, the could not be rectified
till date. It is also seen that the visiting customer care technicians
doesn't have any solution other than washing the unit and cleaning of
filters. The fine values and preset adjustment's are set by the software
cum engineers TEAM who have developed this technology BUT they are
never interacted with customer and/or bothered to visit site as and when
such problems being reported by users. In our country it is true that
always all multinational companies -> everything has been shifted
and nicely dumped on customer head (This may be taken on record).
Further I found that DAIKIN had never responded in writing, therefore
once again I insist for a written reply from the R & D team and
not from the customer care- I repeat it(not by customer
care technicians team)(4th Aug 2015)
