Bought LG 1 Ton 4 Star AC AS-Q13JNYE
Recently purchased LG 1 Ton 4 Star Inverter AC, Model No. AS-Q13JNYE (White) from Amazon India for Rs. 31,581. (Card discount included).
This model was actually a 5 star model in 2025 and re-rated in 2026 to 4 star by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
I was specifically looking for an AC from a brand that I already trusted, hence decided to go with LG again. My main requirements were:
- 4 Way Swing
- Backlit Remote
- Good After Sales Service
- Decent Display on the Indoor Unit with On/Off Option (My old Hitachi AC did not have a proper display option)
- Power Saving Features
- Very Accurate Tonnage (3500Watts = 0.995208 Tonnage) 1Ton of Refrigeration (TR) approx 3,516.85 Watts.
Since the Outdoor Unit and Indoor Unit distance was within 3 meters, I did not require any extra copper pipe installation.
Initially, I was slightly worried about vibration from the Outdoor Unit because it is installed just outside the same wall. However, the LG service technician suggested adding extra Rubber Bush for vibration isolation. This actually worked very well and vibration became negligible. And honestly both ODU and IDU are super silent.
Amazon delivered the AC within 2 days. The installation engineer called on the same day. I clearly informed them beforehand to bring a vacuum pump for proper installation. They said it was not available that day, so installation was scheduled for the next day.
As discussed, the installation team arrived the next day with the vacuum machine. Installation was done very neatly and professionally. They vacuumed the unit properly for around 30 to 35 minutes.
Installation charges were:
- Installation Charges: Rs. 1415 (Rs. 1199 + GST)
- Labour Charges for fixing stand: Rs. 200
- 4 Rubber Bushes: Rs. 200
The service team was sent by LG but managed through a third-party service partner. Overall, I am very satisfied with their work quality and behaviour.
I had already purchased the following items separately from Amazon before installation:
- Outdoor Unit Stand
- 2 X 3-Pin Plug Tops (Stabilizer and AC)
- V-Guard Stabilizer
- 3 Meter Drain Pipe
- Adhesive Taping Rolls (2 Nos.)
- Birla White Cement
Adding to all of these, I purchased a Tapo P110 Smart Plug to monitor initial power consumption in kWh. I am not sure how perfectly accurate the readings are, but it gives a decent ballpark figure regarding electricity usage. I have seen the numbers going upto 1200 watts during Viraat mode and down by 190 watts during DC (Diet Mode), the LG's power saving mode.
Some features that I liked in this LG AC:
- Newly redesigned remote with backlit buttons
- Room temperature checking option in remote
- 6-in-1 Convertible Mode
- Viraat Mode (Other AC has different names such as Turbo etc.)
- Diet Mode
- Indoor Unit display can be turned On or Off
- Unit can be powered ON from AC IDU (Hidden inside the Flap).
The room temperature check feature is quite useful because the AC can display the current room temperature using the sensor connected to the Indoor Unit. This helps compare actual room temperature with the AC set temperature.
Wrapping thing up, I am happy with the purchase experience till now.
Now I need to look for AMC options after the standard warranty period. If anyone has suggestions or advice regarding AMC plans for LG ACs, please let me know.
Thanks!!
