Here’s the Only Aircon Buyer’s Guide You’ll Ever Need (Especially If You Don’t Want to Regret Your Purchase Later)
Whether you’re cooling your home, your office, or your retail space, choosing the right air conditioner isn’t just about comfort—it’s about smart investment.
At Emcor, we don’t just sell air conditioners—we help Filipinos and Filipino businesses make the right cooling decisions. If you’re planning to buy a new aircon soon, this guide will help you get it right the first time.
Step 1: Know What You’re REALLY Cooling
Before diving into brands or features, ask yourself:
- Is this for a bedroom, a small store, or a conference room?
- How many people typically use this space?
- Is it exposed to direct sunlight?
This isn’t just about space size—it’s about usage and heat exposure. That’s why we personally guide every customer at Emcor through this initial step before recommending any specific unit.
“A customer once bought a 1.0HP unit for a sun-facing glass office. It kept running but never cooled. We replaced it with a 1.5HP inverter model, and the energy bill actually went down while performance skyrocketed.”
Step 2: Window Type vs. Split Type vs. Portable: Which Is Best?
Here’s the real talk most guides skip:
| Aircon Type | Best For | Why |
| Window Type | Bedrooms, small rooms | Affordable, easy to install |
| Split Type | Living rooms, offices, long-term use | Quieter, more efficient, sleeker |
| Portable | Renters, small apartments | No drilling, plug-and-play |
If you’re a homeowner planning to stay long-term, go for a split type. If you’re on a tight budget or in a condo, window or portable may suit you better.

Step 3: Inverter vs. Non-Inverter: The Energy Dilemma
Inverter aircon = smarter energy use.
Yes, the upfront cost is higher. But here’s the game changer: Inverter technology adjusts power use based on actual cooling demand—so you’re not overpaying for power you don’t need.
Let’s say you’re running an aircon 8 hours a day (typical in the Philippines). That extra ₱6,000 upfront for an inverter could save you ₱12,000–₱20,000 within two years. 🤯
Step 4: Budget Wisely—But Don’t Cut the Wrong Corners
We know price matters. But here’s the question we ask every Emcor customer:
“If your aircon breaks down in 6 months or doubles your Meralco bill, would the cheaper price still be worth it?”
Instead of just filtering by lowest price, we help you filter by:
- Total cost of ownership
- Warranty support
- Energy efficiency
- Real-life reviews
💡 Tip: Emcor offers flexible payment terms, so you don’t have to settle for less.
Step 5: Professional Installation = Maximum Performance
Improper installation is one of the biggest causes of underperforming air conditioners.
When you buy from Emcor, we don’t just hand you a box—we:
- Deliver
- Install (nationwide service!)
- Ensure the unit is set up for optimal airflow, insulation, and efficiency
Plus, you get post-installation support. No random installers. No guesswork.
