Your experience of Invertor AC

A bit different topic,

I am in process of replacing AC in My home in Pakistan to invertor AC there are many in Market ranging from 58 to 70 , I have read in detail and know how they work I would like to get the experience of forum members based on the brand they used. especially who also have electronics Knowledge Few Questions are...

What is meant by This Ac is not full invertor and use AC as as starter?? Can this AC take start easily on 180 to 190 Volts what I Understand starter only Kick for 0.5 Second should not be an imapct on bill.

If some one have checked Amperes of AC How much these fall when desired cooling is achieved, I am interested in Knowing the experience based on the brand you have installed.
My Electrician is recommending Kenwood 60K it is cheaper too but I think its presence is less for after sale repair etc as Compared to Haier which is 70K.

Kureshi® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 06:00 PM PST 

Jameel Sb,only go for Panasonic , Ascon and Gree in order of priority. I am using Gree and Panasonic for past 2 years when no body appreciated Inverter technology.

These seem expensive (78 to 100K) but worth the price.

User_9325® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 06:49 PM PST 

my parents are using gree for one year. dont know the technical details but they are satisfied

Faiz® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 06:54 PM PST 

Dear
As already Jamil Sab put a unrelated question so i will take advantage of this,
Actually I am constructing new house and some companies advice to install proper ducting and water evaporator system mostly from china and (breezair) from Austerlia. They put one unit at roof and cool the air like traditional air cooler and deliver to rooms by regular duct.It is recommended becz it is energy efficient and cool your whole house including kitchen and lounge but it will not work in monsoon weather..
thanks
If anybody have experience please comment

Jameel Bhai, Assalim-o-Alikum,
i have bought Orient invertor AC two year before,a horrible experience,stop working after two months,
contact orient service, they said there are three kits inside unit, one of them stop working and warranty did not cover that. first they asked they will try to repair it then eventually suggest to replace it. paid 24 thousands no warranty was given again of these parts, after couple of weeks again stop working, please avoid orients investor if possible.

RavianGik® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 08:28 PM PST 

I am an Air Conditioning Engineer. I have done comparisons of reputed three brands in terms of initial cost - life cycle cost

The best turned out to be Daikin Brand {Its Japanese Technology assembled in Malaysia}. Gree and Panasonic using all Chinese parts but Daikin still use thai or Malaysian parts.

We have Daikin ac in offices and working since 1987 and giving ultimate performance.

Please whenever you go ask for Daikin Malaysian models FT or FN series and inverter type . Initial cost high but their distributor very good in Pakistan MIA group who also market ACSON brand.

Daikin also economical as parts failure rate is negligible.

thank you

Basharat replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 08:55 PM PST 

We recently installed Gree 1600 BTU and Samsung 1800 BTU, DC inverter ACs at home. Samsung till now look better than Gree. Gree cost us Rs 63000 and Samsung Rs 89000/- Samsung is made in Thiland.

DHA Prism Investment

I want to buy DHA Prism one Kanal in the budget of at max 10M. The purpose is investment only.

Which blocks of the Prism should be preferred in the current scenario? Prism side near Ring Road GHF or the ACDP
I need the expert opinion that is this the right time to invest in the current market situation as the property in Prism is having a higher end prices. Prices in Prism top location are even in comparison to DHA-8 S block, if you add the development charges.

Investment Advice Needed

Is it a good investment decision to:

Sell 2 Prism 5m plots + add money and buy 3 Phase 9-Ext 5m files?

Both plots are located in R block.

Butt replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 12:36 AM PST 

Thank you everyone for your input.

@Ali: please give some reasons to your opinion. They will be appreciated.

@User_12596: too far isn't an issue. I already mentioned that holding period is no problem for me. This way I can expand investment from 2 to 3 plots.

@Ali: Sir, either I will pay dev. charges on both the prism plots or sale all of them and use the money for the dev. charges in addition to get 3 plots.

Will be grateful to all brothers for further help.

Ekrar® replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 06:45 AM PST 

butt sb,with due respect....it is the timing that matters a lot in entry/exit of a project....9-ext
prices have reached their peak compared to prism file(only difference of 5 lac in 5 marla)....9 ext is bound to fall down in next year, whereas prism prices will increase....so just think after 1.5 years....prism 5m at 45 whereas 9 -ext 5 m at 20...at that time u may think of switching to 9 ext n get its 5 files from ur present 2 plots!till then just wait n keep on paying dc

PROPERTY EVALUATION

Once again we are back to square one regarding property valuation by a private firm for NON-FILERS.

I was reading comments from overseas regarding being non-filers thus have to pay 0.6% WHT on bank transaction and extra CVT STAMP DUTY for non-filers and overseas will stop sending remittances, it will be very negative for property etc etc.

It looked from the comments as if property is going to be doomed if it is implemented.

Well i have NEWS for you!

KUCH BHI NAHI HONA

Property will be same as it was before. In a long RUN property have always given profits or it is considered safe specially in PAKISTAN.

Secondly, government wants everyone to be FILER even if they are not generating income. Government wants to know what exactly you are doing and how you are making money and purchasing properties, cars, travelling for vacations etc etc.

This system was implemented in TURKEY ( differentiation between filer and non filer ) and our government is following their policy. Which is not a bad one. We should be able to justify our income and expenditure.

All of us lash out at the government about taking loans and not doing enough to get more people into TAX BASE. On the other hand we blast the government if they try to bring more and more people into tax net. This is what i call double standards. We don't want to do our part but we want everyone else to be HAJI NAMAZI.

How is it possible if i have properties worth billions of RS and i am unable to tell the government how i got the money. All the government wants us to justify the purchases. It could be inheritance, remittance, income by business or could be anything. It is self declaration, whatever you tell the government , they will believe you. And randomly they can select your name in the audit list. Once the audit opens you have to provide documents about your declaration. ( If you show only remittances as your source of income , it is AUDIT FREE , means you will not be selected for the audit, but they can ask you for PRC as proof of remittances )

For overseas Pakistanis i explained in details about the procedure of remitting money into Pakistan and getting PRC or encashment certificate which could be used in your yearly income tax returns. Please look into POST # 83010 and i have answered questions in POST # 83048

Overseas Pakistanis should file their yearly returns to get maximum benefit out of their investments. And Please be very clear about one thing, the income you generate outside Pakistan is not taxable but income which you generate within Pakistan is subject to TAX. Overseas buy property in Pakistan as it is very very lucrative opportunity for them to make money. In PAST 15 years money spend on property have given returns of 2000% and some even more if you are smart and aggressive investor ( And listen to CMY for his recommendation :) Overseas don't buy property in Pakistan to HELP Pakistan, they do it for themselves. No one would invest in Pakistan property if it doesn't give good capital gains. This applies to me as well.

When we earn 100% on property in capital gains we should not be cowards by not paying our taxes.

Instead of complaining, you should be getting information about TAX returns, Hire a good consultant who will file the return on your behalf and will handle everything from tax notices to timely filing of your returns. Once you File your returns your name will automatically be updated in FBR Active Tax Payer List (ATL) which in turn will automatically be updated in all of your bank accounts and your online data in Pakistan.

Once in ATL list, you will not have to pay 0.6% WHT, your stamp duty will be half of what you pay now and property will be evaluated on DC rates which in turn will make for less payment of taxes. And any WHT on your property transaction is fully adjustable in your yearly tax returns.

Every where in the world you have to pay taxes and there are huge TAXES in US, UK, AUSTRALIA, or any where in the world, except GULF countries.

Pakistan is our HOME country and we all need to contribute. If you think NS government is corrupt please vote against him and vote for the one you think is better for Pakistan.

I hope i have made my POINT clear.

A very good and informative post. However there is trust deficit between awam and hukmaran. Because our prime minister has not been able to justify his income resources. Our finance minister has billions invested in Dubai. Our tax policy makers (Saif brothers) have tens of offshore companies to avoid tax. Maryam Nawaz fools system by declaring herself dependant of Nawaz. Nawaz fools by declaring himself living in mother house. If they want public to pay taxes they should set the examples and then ask others. Sirf kamzor pa hi zor chlta h FBR aur NAB ka.

Please do not take this as some political POST. It is pro pakistani POST and not a political one. I know what NS is doing and i know what i am doing as well. HUKMARAAN perfect nahi hain but we have to admit that we are not perfect either.

Arif sb. we also have all the options available to us to open off shore companies, buy properties in Dubai , no one will stop you in Pakistan.

All i want to say is just like we pay our taxes in other parts of the world we should pay it in Pakistan as well. And we should use all legal means to save our taxes.

But i request people not to take it as a political post.

User_11041® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 02:22 PM PST 

Apparently bad HUKMURAAN or such excuses are lame excuses...indeed lack of moral courage and fear to share wealth is the only reason to evade taxes and finding escape routes. such practices are not justifiable at all in interest of Pakistan...at least think of Pakistan defense which need tax money apart from government corrupt practices.
Thanks Allah..atleast no one argue paying 2.5% Zakat..and IMHO government taxation is equally necessary for State.

SIM replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 02:23 PM PST 

Salman sahib, I don,t think overseas Pakistanis are unwilling to pay taxes. But they should not be automatically grouped together with Tax Chors. It is the Government that has exempted Non resident Pakistanis from filing tax returns. I think they should make a separate category for Overseas Pakistanis for all transactions and definitely we should prove our source and trail of money. And then whatever tax they want to impose on us, we are ready.

Salman.A® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 02:52 PM PST 

Please note that he is not the only lawyer. There are hundreds out there. Do your research talk to different consultants and if you feel comfortable with him, go ahead and hire him.

Do not point fingers at me if anything or something goes wrong.

I have given my honest opinion. Rest is up to you to find what works best for you.

User_20873® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 03:30 PM PST 

To pay tax is not issue, when we see the use of tax by our politicians, it pains and hurts too much.

Further for expats, there are special incentives in India on saving schemes. Here in middle east interest rate is very less. First thing that Indians do is that they take loan and sent to India. They deposit in the bank on special schemes designed for Indian expats and not only save the money but their interest on loan is also generated form the saving amount.

For expats there should be separate system which should be conducive to send more foreign exchange.

Arif M® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 03:51 PM PST 

These might sound like lame excuses to some but definitely majority of people have these concerns and counter arguments. It is not necessary that I am an expat because I might be raising voice on these issues. Similarly it is not necessary that I don't pay taxes currently. In fact it could be other way around.

Actually it hurts more when you earn less but still pay more taxes than all these rulers who earn lot more and pay tax in pennies. And salman sb with due respect it is not possible for every common person to open offshore companies in panama/vorgin islands. In most of cases this privalige is available to our rulers and tax policy makers who loot billions from here and can afford to hire tax evading consultants in panama etc. A common professor, engineer, small business person or a salaried person living on monthly salaries can't afford these. What he can afford is paying taxes in this country.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 05:37 PM PST 

I agree with Salman, to increase the Tax net is Good idea but Our officials are too Corrupt, people are afraid of declaring net worth of assets as privacy will be affected, Till Govt Controls Law and Order situation terrorism and curb corruption Direct taxation is better.
People are even afraid of transferring money back from gulf to Pakistani Banks as information may not leak to criminals.

A person giving or tax is being deducted at source mean from his salary ,he is working in private organization and about Rs 60000 is being deducted from his salary per month and he knows after retirement there is no pension scheme like Govt. servant .So pleas just give solution what the govt should do for him after his retirement ,he has been giving sizable amount in the form of tax per month.
