Brought a LG Window AC( TWO STAR RATED), good product, 1.5 tones of cooling, good enough to cool a room of approx 250 sq ft. Brought it just before the current year's torturous summer started.so the cooling of this AC was like heaven! So much that my family ended up using this AC for hours on end! At the end of the second month, with nearly 8-10 hours of usage daily.we got a HUGE bill of Rs.7500!( without AC our bill used to be around Rs.2000 per month!)
Now we are careful not to use this AC unless really required, to use it between 23-25 degrees setting, and above all to use the "ENERGY SAVER" mode!
@ the Energy Saver mode, My AC behaves funny, it gives sufficient cooling, then the compressor stops, only to restart after a few minutes, and at times it starts barely for 10-15 seconds before going in energy saver mode again! Don't know whether this is normal operation.
BTW.beware of products you buy from Vijay Sales, they gave me an AC which conked off within 15 days. When the LG engineer inspected it, he said entire coil is rusty, and leakage of gas took place. Even he was surprised how Vijay Sales could sell such a product, as per him the AC was of an old stock and shouldnt have been sold to the customer.
After a few follow up LG replaced my AC with a new one.
