less energy is wasted in the copper coils of motor due to resistance heating as its half the amount of current passing in the motor windings

so for the same kilowatts consumed more goes towards cooling than being wasted as heat in the motor windings

because they pull less current.
the 36k inverter i bought and buying another are 19 seer which is apparently very high rating.

Dave wrote:Would the seer be the same with the same btu but different voltage?
Kilowatt is kilowatt.
Higher voltage use less current.
Lower voltage uses more current.
Your bill is based on watts, not amps / current.
Efficiency wise yes, but in trinidad supply and demand laws don't apply. They will bring the less efficient 220V unit because it selling and more efficient 110V unit cuz it don't sell.

Iirc BMW and Benz ac parts half the price of tiida ac parts. Frontier and B14 evaporatot is the same but have different price. Nissan almera and Subaru wrx air filter is the same, I always ask for almera air filter. Was looking at prices some time back and remembered trinidad is not a real place.

Bear in mind, I am not advocating the purchase of a 110V unit over a 220V. If I had my way everything home was 440V 3 phase.
Single phase 110/220V is bleah

Did you pay for the warranty on the previously purchased unit? If yes which coverage did you opt for?

Them courts TCL inverter units good?
Saw a couple reviews here that fairly positive, they have sale and they have the super warranty as an option which means I can get a 4+ years of full replacement warranty on an inverter system for the price of a start/stop unit

Saw the TCL 36000btu also and its at a very Good price and was thinking of buying one also to replace a Comfee one I have for more than 15yrs.

Pugboy, what is the noise level like and how is the cooling capacity on the 2 you bought?

Have a 10-year-old Peake 36000 BTU unit that still running well but needs to be replaced soon.

them tcl real quiet and cooling real good
very little vibration
if i put my hand on the wall bracket the compressor mounted on, you barely feel any vibration
the 36k is 19seer
if you stand 4-5ft away from the compressor fan you can feel the heat it throwing off
which means it cooling

If you want the warranty it’s a good idea. And they have loooong warranty options available

Have a issue with a Pioneer 12k unit, outside wasn't cutting of when turned off, change the circuit board relay it cutting of NOW.
Now the compressor not cycling on and off with the temp drop what could cause this?
