Top 10 Best Split-type Air Conditioners in the Philippines 2020 (Daikin, LG, Panasonic and More)

With over 90 years of history and experience, Daikin made its entry into the Philippine market in 2009. It engaged in sales and distribution of air conditioning units and spare parts, servicing, and providing related warranty services. 

Claiming to be the world's leader in air conditioning production, their 1HP non-inverter split-type unit has a five-year warranty on compressor and one year on parts. The unit uses R410A refrigerant which requires larger tubes, it doesn't affect the performance. It has a Turbo Mode where rapid cooling at the highest fan speed is activated for immediate room temperature change. 

Control the fan speed and other modes like through the wireless remote controller. Installation should be done by authorized Daikin personnel to ensure that everything is in order and the warranty not voided.

Enjoy the benefits of LG's Dual Inverter air conditioner for a longer period of time because of their 10-year warranty on their compressors. Its inverter technology solves ineffective use of energy, thus making the unit cost-effective, cools faster, and runs quieter than conventional models. 

The compressor constantly adjusts to maintain the desired temperature and uses less energy to achieve a faster cooling time. The high-speed range expels cooled air farther to effectively cool any room. LG's unique skew fan layout eliminates unnecessary noise so it can go as low as 21dB noise level so you are assured of a quieter and comfortable sleep. 

It features an automatically adjusting function such as indirect airflow, 7-hr off time set, soft wind, and sleep time with a touch of a button. The slim and compact design makes installation a breeze where fewer people are needed to complete the process.

Panasonic's 1HP inverter-type air conditioner has a unique airflow design that mimics a shower where the air is controlled by two flaps that function separately. It also has a self-diagnostic feature and odor-removal function to improve the quality of air inside the room.

Since it has inverter technology, it can reduce power consumption by varying the speed of the compressor and minimizing temperature fluctuations for consistent cooling pleasure. Its Pulse Amplitude Modulation and P-Tech allows a rapid increase in voltage to set temperature faster during startup. 

The outside compressor has copper material tubes which underwent a long-term durability test and a waterproof test under the Philippines' harshest weather conditions. The external unit is equipped with a water-resistant PCB and is enclosed by a corrosion-resistant coating.

Founded in 1991 in Zhuhai, GREE has started introducing its air conditioning system and home appliances into the Philippine market in 2011. Their split-type air conditioner uses inverter technology that boasts a Php4.80 per hour consumption only based on minimum wattage at a 25-degree thermostat setting. 

Its advantageous inverter control adjusts the accelerator and creates a constant comfortable temperature all the time.The intelligent defrosting capability feature activates when necessary and has a self-diagnosis to detect malfunction or issues where it shows on the display panel. It provides easier maintenance and component replacement when needed. 

The unit can operate in a wider voltage range to accommodate variable voltage fluctuation. Equipped with a thicker inner groove copper tube, so the heating exchange performance is optimized.

Hitachi's version of a split-type air conditioner has an innovative air filtering system that is suitable for people with respiratory ailments. Its remarkable Anti-Allergy Filter prevents the distribution of household airborne allergens such as dust, pollen, and pet dander, those small flecks of skin shed by common house pets such as dogs, cats, rodents, or birds. 

The Nano Silver and Photocatalyst Filter efficiently blocks dangerous germs and bacteria, lessening the risk of scattering deadly airborne diseases. Equipped with a Dehumidification device, the unit removes excess moisture in the air by switching alternately between cooling and fan modes without decreasing room temperature. 

It has a Sleep Mode - Eco Scan feature to keep ideal room temperature by automatically gauging the ambient room condition. It also has the standard characteristics present on other models such as Quiet mode, Auto Restart Function, Auto Protection Mode, and LCD.

Haier Group's acquisition of Sanyo in 2012 signaled the beginning of its entry into the Philippine market. They have since started supplying refrigerators and air conditioners for residential and commercial use. 

Their split-type inverter AC has Hyper PCB, which regulates the consistency and power to cope with voltage fluctuations that may lead to malfunction. The Turbo mode feature can reach the desired temperature setting faster even in the warm Philippine climate.Its evaporator and condenser have blue fins that are coated with special anti-corrosion paint to improve durability. 

To increase heat exchange efficiency, the inside surface of the tube is grooved to increase contact points between the refrigerant and the copper pipe. The unit uses a 3M filter to eliminate the particulate matters with 2.5 micrometers and below to keep the breathing air inside the room cleaner.

Carrier XPower Gold 2 inverter aircon is a premium split-type air conditioner that consumes lesser electricity because of its high EER rating and condensed pipe design. It is fully loaded with tons of features like auto-restart mode, auto swing mode, louver control, pre-set mode, and temporary operation, in case the remote controller gets misplaced.

It uses a unique magic coil that prevents oil or dirt from sticking on its surface and uses condensed water to rinse it away. This self-maintenance promotes efficiency and lesser maintenance cost required. It also offers a broader air distribution and faster cooling because of its larger capacity fan. 

The Nano Photo Copper Zinc filter, together with Nano-Silver technology, inside the unit, has a powerful deodorizing property that deactivates bacteria, fungi, and molds which also sterilizes the air that you breathe. 

Koppel, Inc. is the second-largest air conditioner company in the Philippines, serving the growing market demands with reliable high-quality air conditioning system products for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. 

Their foray into the use of inverter technology allowed them to come up with a split-type air conditioner that is packed with great features. One of their outstanding innovation is the addition of a high-density filter that cleans dust efficiently than other filters. Plus, it releases Vitamin C into the air which is good for the skin, as claimed by Koppel.

It uses R410A as an eco-friendly refrigerant and is equipped with hydrophilic aluminum fins that prevent water droplets from forming thereby making heat transfer more effective. The refrigerant leakage detection feature is very useful for maintenance and troubleshooting. 

Save money on Samsung's highly energy-efficient split-type AC with Digital Inverter Boost technology that reduces energy consumption by up to 73%. Its outdoor unit has neodymium magnets and a Twin Tube muffler, so it works efficiently, quietly, and endures much longer. 

The wider inlet absorbs more air and its larger fan with wider blades can cool rooms quickly than other indoor units. Once the AC is turned off, the fan automatically runs and does a cleaning function to remove dust and moisture from the heat exchanger which stops the growth of bacteria and mildew. Its dense mesh protects you against dangerous airborne contaminants.

The Easy Filter Plus is located on the outside top part, so it is accessible and ready to be cleaned at any time. The stable and durable outdoor unit has DuraFin which is made of much denser and thicker material which is coated to improve its corrosion resistance. The best offer of this product is its 10-year warranty on the compressor.

The TOSOT brand was first introduced in 2003 and distributed globally in more than a dozen countries by GREE of Zhuhai. Their split-type air conditioner uses R410A refrigerant to ensure zero-ozone depletion on all of their air conditioning products. Its powerful cooling and precise temperature control feature save energy, while the intelligent automatic restart gives full control which enables cost savings for up to 50%. 

The efficient four-way airflow system covers a wider area in a short span of time for even cooling distribution.The aircon is equipped with a self-diagnostic and auto cleaning features that reduce maintenance costs that accumulate savings in the long run. You don't have to worry about water droplets brought about by the condensation. This unit has a dual side water outlet to allow water to be flushed outside the room.
