So my Hitachi 1.2 ton is giving me lots of trouble. It has been roughly 11 years, gas leaks out within a month thanks to heavy corrosion. I live in a area closer to the coast so corrosion is a big issue. This time i am focusing on ac which has anti-corrosive properties and I have short-listed LG for the simple reason that they have Ocean black coating(OBC) to protect from corrosion and their service post purchase. I need some feedback from fellow members especially if they live in corrosive environment and general review about LG ac's here.
1. I have shortlisted 4 models, all 1 ton. (i)MS-Q12SWZD, (ii)MS-Q12UVZA, (iii)MS-Q12ANZA, (iv)MS-Q12YNZA. I am more inclined towards model (i) and (ii) as they have good air filtration. Do ac filters really work in killing germs and preventing allergy?
2. Model (ii) claims to have UV-filtration to kills bacteria and germs. Is it just a gimmick or are they really effective? I have Sinusitis and dust can create problems for me, hence my inclination towards air purification.
3. There are so many models from LG enough to confuse anyone. The only difference I found is availability of wifi and filters. For me, wifi is a not a must but only model (i) gives HD filter and anti-allergy.
4. My ac repair engineer, refrigerator repair guy told me to go for Fixed motor rather than inverter ones as they have tendency to fail and cost a bomb to replace PCB. Now LG gives 5 year PCB warranty. So should I go with inverter or stick to old school. My usage is not that great, except in summers it might run twice a day for April, May. I fear that corrosion may damage it, especially after 5 years.
5. Are there any other brands which have good service in Mumbai as well as give corrosion protection like blue/gold fins for IDU,ODU.
6. Does LG give OBC protection for both IDU/ODU? I was looking for models and some did not mention it in product page but mentioned it in the specs page. Got me confused.
I am less inclined towards Japanese brands this time owing to Hitachi experience. My budget is restricted this time so don't want to spend in excess of 40k.
I was thinking of getting this Action Clear Rust Proof to paint my pcb to protect from corrosion. Has anyone tried it? Would it be safe to do so?
