    Damro sucks. They over estimate the BTU capacity saying it required as they give 10year warranty. They quoted me for 12000BTU, But I got a 10000BTU inverter from Softlogic. Using for 1.5 years. No issues. Using 28 at night 26 at noon. Using every day 12hrs+ Bill increased by 2000

    What's the brand? inverter and how much it did cost you? I don't think Damro has 10000BTU.

    Go for 12,000 non inverter (since you are not using frequently)
    Panasonic or Gree

    Gree Aircon giving 3 years warrenty for the equipment and 5 year for the compressor.

    you can purchase 12,000 btu non inverter Gree for 55,000 at wow with credit card promo

    9000 BTU is more than enough. Inverter model ekak ganin. awwa wadiya watenna nathi pattakata outdooor unit eke thiyapan puluwan nam.. room eke seal wena taramata current bill eke adui

    Go for invertor type as it saves energy. Now the price difference is less. Make sure that you have installed a SPD protecting all your electronic equipment at home.

    Daro gives the best after sales service. Its true that their panasonic inverter AC are produced in India and not suitabe for coasal areas. Go for innovex or Damro brands which are cheaper than Panasonic.

    I have the same sized room, cooled by a 12,000 BTU Panasonic Inverter (Ideally a 8k btu one would've been enough but they didn't have that size with inverter). Looked at Damro but later found out that the Panasonic A/Cs they sell were made in india so better be careful and ask for the country or origin.

    Machan man hithanne 9000BTU athi, inverter type ekak ganin.
    LG and panasonic hodai, habai tikak expensive.

    Mannam kiyanne Hisense eka ganin Damro or singhagiri

    Or

    Gree ekath hodai ABANS,

    If needed I can get a special discount for gree PM me.

    Thanks hamotama. loku help ekak.

    First i am not working for Damro or anyone. Why i went Damro from Abans is due to poor service and their story of no spare parts and need to replace.

    Any reputed one will do a heat load calculation based on the volume of the given area, cladding types and no of occupants. Damro has a good calculator on that aspect.

    I do not have any experience of AC with Softlogic.

    even 9000BTU one will give you 28c cooling if you are satisfied but as someone said climbing Kadugannawa ina threewheeler like.

    :lol:

    9000BTU is enough. Go for a non - inverter.

    The usage is too low to get an advantage from an inverter.

    Don't use portable AC for this. You are using for a fixed operation.

    Keep the temp around 27 - 28C. Additional amount for the bill will be around Rs.2000.

    You MUST seal every bit of the room perfectly.

    what can be used to seal the room?

    Well, It depends. When i account all heat load and occupants, it came to 8000BTU. Hence i argued for 10000BTU one. But they insist i put 12000 one purely based on 10 year warranty scheme.( that i must put their recommended one to get warranty )
    12k BTU one consumes about 15-30% of more energy over a 10k BTU. It just doesn't make any sense for over estimation purely on warranty's sake.
    Its like getting a 1000BHP supercar just to climb the kadugannawa. It may does the job quicker, but wont be economical.

    My advice : Do your own research, decide what you want. Compare brand, wattage, co-efficient(EER) and price. Just don't fall into marketing crap.
