Which is the Best & Quietest

[Inquisitorial]

Hi

We need to replace an air conditioner in our bedroom in our condo in Bangkok. I have read many posts on TV some dating back many years on this topic.

The Air Con that we currently have makes terrible noise sound like someone snoring very off-putting and just gushes air no low fan speed and we keep needing to get it re-gassed (thinking this is installation problem) I am sure the developers just installed a job lot of cheap superseded air conditioners. Time to get a new one even though this one is less than 5 years old.

We are looking for good quality Air con with inverter (read this as a must on TV) that is super quiet.

Reading the past TV posts it looks like the most popular and best air con's to get are:

No 1…Diakin

No 2…Mitsubisih

No 3… Carrier.

We were going to purchase from HomePro but I have also read on TV that they should be avoided due to them not having reliable installers? Is this still the case?

I am keen to hear your experiences/recommendations and if you agree that Daikin is still no 1.

Also saw mention that Dragon Air Conditioning were very good who supply and install, when I checked they are only in Chiang Mai based.

I am looking for reliable supplier in Bangkok – any suggestions.

Thanks

There is no reason that HomePro installers would be any worse or better than the norm - believe they are contracted; as are most.

I currently have Mitsubishi inverter and several Panasonic normal small units and all are quiet. Be aware quiet can be too quiet at times - I have to make sure air cleaner is running in bedroom to mask normal breathing/roll over sounds - a little white noise in good for sleep..

Just be aware that there are two Mitsubishi brands in Thailand, Mitsubishi electric and Mitsubishi heavy industries.

Mitsubishi electric makes really good air conditioners and I like they layout and functions of the remote control.

Hello OP,

You may want to read the "I want That One" thread regarding future phasing out/or not of refill gas. Just a thought though I did not read all the external tech specs posted.

Regards.

Best and Quietest = Daikin Urusara7.

It's also the most expensive
