Suggestions under 30K for Basement Office 1.5 Ton Split AC
Setting up a basement office and looking to get a 1.5 ton split AC installed, budget capped at ₹30K. A few specifics that might matter:
It’s a basement, so no direct sun load, but ventilation is limited and it tends to feel humid.

Outdoor unit will need a slightly longer pipe run since there’s no direct external wall nearby.

Mostly used during work hours (8-10 hrs/day), so decent energy efficiency matters more than peak cooling power.

Has anyone here installed a split AC in a similar basement setup? Curious about:
Which brands/models have held up well for you under ₹30K

Whether a 3-star convertible unit is enough vs pushing for 5-star

Any installation gotchas specific to basements (drainage, pipe runs, moisture)

Majorly finding LG and Hisense. LG has 5 year comprehensive warranty too.

Would appreciate any real experience over spec-sheet comparisons. Thanks!
