We have 2 LG split systems which are fantastic. In the bedrooms we have Sharp, and also fantastic. The house is about 14 years old, we've been here for 4 years and have never had a problem with any of them.
My parents built their house 18 months ago and they have LG throughout their house and Samsung in their bedroom. The LG a/c are fine, but they have had problem after problem with the Samsung. The motor in it burnt out twice within the first 6 months. They only got that one as Harvey Norman stuffed up their order and accidentially ordered that one.
The a/c specialist who fixed the Samsung one for them recommended Mitsubishi air cons, apparently they're really good.
The most recommended down here is Daikin. We are hoping to get ours soon.
Our main aim is to use it for heating though (split system). And because we get cold winters, the Daikins are meant to be the best for low temperatures. I think they are also the most expensive, but they are the ones everybody goes for here.
We have a Daikin split system in our home.
Not sure how long it has been here for though... it stopped working the other day and is in line to be fixed (waiting on the air con guys)
Up until it stopped working it was fantastic! Heats really well and cools down brilliantly.
Thanks for that girls. We have air con installers doing it for us and they have given us those options I am steering more towards a fujitsu. I am just sick of humidity up here!
Get an inverter, they use less energy. Also google energy star rating and get the most efficient one you can afford - saves you money in the long run. I have a panasonic inverter - they are the only ones who work in the cold down here, but you don't have to worry about the a/c working in cold (minus degrees), just keeping up with the heat! You might also want to consider some other energy efficiency options for your climate - heavy drapes can help keep the heat out, and improve the efficiency of the a/c..
My husband and I have just bought a Mitsubishi air conditioner for the new house we are building. We were talking to a lady at the good guys who told us that they are the top brand on the air conditioning market at the moment and a few other people have said the same thing since we bought it.
We picked up the largest Mitsubushi air con you can buy, which will heat and cool our whole house (reverse cycle) for $1300 on special from $2200
