LOL. Bought another 2 12k Midea at ACDirect earlier today as well. I use PayJustNow and pay over 3 months. Bought my previous 2 18k btu ones that way as well.
 
Loving this thread. Midea's and Samsungs all the way.

I went to check and came to realize that the one holiday home has 2 x 30k BTU units to cover the main living area. My father still installed them a couple of years ago. Both are non-inverter units. :eek::eek:. When you start them up the whole town's lights next door dim.

Will look at selling them off for forkoll and replacing them with inverter units. I was there the other day, it was 40 degrees outside. I have never in my life downed a beer that fast.
 
The summer sun can happen now all 4 batteries charged by 12 at the moment so we ready to roll

@Snyper564, I'm not sure if it was you mentioned he bought some nice and quiet ceiling fans. Can you share the link?
 
After all the rain finally had the chance to give the new office AC a spin. Man this thing is sweet 21deg on 3% speed is just perfect :)
 
The energy efficiency is mind bogling this is the AC chugging along with the rest of the house the base load less than 800w :)

just thought I would share this - was looking through the aircon guide and saw a "gear" function allowing upto 50% electricity savings.

This is 2X9000 BTUs running along with house base load

anyway has anyone actually did their own aircon filter cleaning/replacement?

I held off on this until i saw how easy it is. Just open it up and take the filters out. Wash and dry then reinsert them

It did look pretty easy as set out in the book - why pay R1k per AC to do that - at what point do you actually replace them then? Easy to get replacements?

Should never need to replace them, since they are not paper based, at least mine aren't.. replace them if they ever break..

ah that makes sense our extractor hood in the kitchen is similar just clean and rinse filters and pop back will just follow the suggested approach in the manual

Can you explain more about this "gear" function ? Linky to manual ? Sounds interesting.

I have a brewing chamber that needs some regular cooling.

BTW, OT: Can you elaborate on your microbrewing ?

Haha dont know what to add on the micro brewing side :) Have an electronic system similar to grainfather can brew anything, won a few comps etc

I havent noticed any noticeable difference with gear on but the power is noticeable less,

Also on the brewing side again buy an old bosch single door fridge and add an STC 100 for fermentation and use it for cold crashing etc. R1.5k on FB market place. Have 4 and they work like a dream also super efficient.

Cool. I used the Sonoff Temp/Humidity probe and Home Asssitant for activating an electric blanket in winter brews, but am considering now just getting one of these midea's and temp control the entire brew chamber. Will obviously then have to do a bulk brew of all the same, but that's fine.
 
@Snyper564 sorry i did not read the whole thread, but just installed 3x12kBTU and want to add to a 5kW inverter. Am leaving only the geyser and stove off. They installed 3x25A breakers being one for each, but as you know thats not any indication of load. They are digital inverter windfree samsungs

Am going to check with a clamp meter when I install the inverter, but my guess is this is no problem. Its student digs so only real draw will be when they run a kettle or airfryer. I could exclude one of the three but feel that will not be necessary
