Hi guys,

I am planning to buy a AC..I had many brands in mind like Carrier , Voltas , Bluestar and Daikin..But i finally decided to go with Daikin..as i heard many positive reviews about that company...So i finnaly decided to go with Daikin...But the confusion now is whether to buy the Gas R22 or R410A ??

I have researched in the internet and also asked some guys , they told me about the + and - of both , but i would like to get a reply from this forum and then decide...

R22 -

Advantages :-
1) If the gas gets leaked , then it can be easily refilled , just the amount of gas that has been leaked , but this cannot be done in R410A...
2) Refilling costs just between Rs 300- Rs 500

Disadvantages :-
1) Has Ozone depleting substances and therefore in the longrun it would damage the Environment

R410A :-

Advantages :-
1) Ozone and Environment friendly..
2) Cools quickly

Disadvantages :-

1) Costly compared with the R22 gas...
2) If gas gets leaked the whole gas has to be refilled which will cause Rs 3000- Rs 4000 , one guy said...

Dunno what to decide...If you guys have experience in using the AC with R22 and R410A models , please let me know your experience...and advises what to buy..

Thanks
