When to buy an air conditioner – cooling machine
According to annual statistics, the quantity of air conditioners consumed in the first 6 months is often 6-7 times higher than the last 6 months. Therefore, customers should buy air conditioners at the end of the year to avoid the risk of them running out of stock.
However, the downside of buying air conditioners at the end of the year is that the brands have not introduced new air conditioner models to the market, mainly featuring models from the previous year.
When not to buy an air conditioner – cooling machine
Avoid purchasing an air conditioner during peak heatwaves. At this time, every household rushes to install air conditioners to combat the scorching heat of summer, leading to a shortage of supply. The installation process is delayed and lacks the usual meticulousness.
In particular, buying an air conditioner during peak heatwaves means customers have to endure higher prices than usual. Statistics show that air conditioner prices during peak times can increase by several hundred or even a few million compared to the regular retail price.
Things to consider when buying an air conditioner – AC unit
When purchasing an air conditioner, in addition to considering the timing, thoroughly research the information about the intended AC unit to ensure you buy a reliable and suitable machine:
+ Choose reputable brands: Prioritize buying air conditioners from reputable brands such as Panasonic, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Casper, Gree, Funiki, Nagakawa, etc. Purchasing from these brands ensures not only product quality but also the best warranty policies.
+ Select the appropriate operating capacity for the room size: Choose an AC unit with a power capacity suitable for the room size to ensure optimal cooling/heating efficiency. You can calculate the appropriate capacity using the formula: suitable capacity = Room area x 600 BTU. For example, a 1 HP air conditioner (~ 9000 BTU) is suitable for rooms under 15 m2; a 1.5 HP AC (~ 12,000 BTU) is suitable for rooms from 15 – 20 m2; a 2 HP AC (~ 18,000 BTU) for rooms from 20 – 30 m2; a 2.5 HP AC (~ 24,000 BTU) for rooms from 30 – 40 m2.
+ Opt for an air conditioner equipped with advanced technologies and features. If your budget allows, consider purchasing an air conditioner with modern features such as inverter technology, night mode, remote control via smartphone, super quiet cooling, air purification, bacteria elimination, odor removal, temperature scheduling, and comfortable breeze delivery.
+ Choose a price point that suits your budget. Air conditioner prices vary across different segments (low, medium, and high), so determine your spending limit to select a product with a suitable price tag. Reference prices for current air conditioner brands are approximately as follows: Panasonic ranges from 7 to 38 million; Daikin ranges from 7 to 20 million; Toshiba ranges from 10 to 19 million; LG ranges from 10 to 21 million; Sharp ranges from 9 to 16 million; Samsung starts from around 9 to 17 million Vietnamese dong.
