TCL 18SVN-AI-41 SaveIN AI 1.5 Ton Heat and Cool DC Inverter Split AC

The TCL 18SVN-AI-41 is a 1.5 ton DC inverter split air conditioner. An inverter compressor varies its speed instead of switching fully on and off, which holds the room steadier and draws noticeably less electricity than a conventional unit.

As a general guide to sizing rather than a claim about this unit, a 1.5 ton unit is usually specified for around 180–220 sq ft, which is a large bedroom or a small lounge.

Key features

• Heat and cool: TCL quote heating down to -20°C outdoor, so this is a winter unit as well as a summer one
• TCL's SaveIN AI series with a T3 climate-type DC inverter compressor
• A T3 compressor is built to the tropical climate-zone 3 rating, which is the specification that matters in Multan: T1 units are rated for milder summers and lose output as the outdoor temperature climbs
• Cooling quoted by TCL to 62°C outdoor
• R32 refrigerant, which TCL publish for the whole SaveIN AI range
• T-AI energy-saving chipset, which trims compressor speed without being asked
• Coanda airflow, which spreads air along the ceiling rather than blowing it at you
• Graphene coating on the outdoor coil, TCL's corrosion measure for the condenser
• 3 Level Gen Mode, so the unit will run from a generator, solar or UPS supply
• Indoor self-clean cycle, plus a filter-cleaning reminder and refrigerant leakage detection
• Wi-Fi and app control, with over-the-air firmware updates

Warranty

TCL Pakistan publish 10 years on the compressor, 4 years on the PCB and 1 year on parts for the SaveIN AI series, on their own product page. That is the manufacturer's term; ask the shop to confirm how it is registered and who performs the service before you order.

What to confirm before you order

• Details we could not verify for this model: dimensions. We would rather tell you we do not have them than print a number we cannot stand behind.
• TCL Pakistan publish this model as the SaveIN-AI-41 on their own site, which is where the refrigerant, the warranty and the heating figure on this page come from. Two things are still worth asking us before you order: TCL do not publish a Btu table or the cabinet dimensions for the range, so those figures here are taken from retailer specification sheets and are labelled that way; and the colour differs by variant, with TCL showing the -41 in black and the -11 in white. The shop lists a “-T3” and a “-41” at this tonnage, Rs. 148,000 and Rs. 158,000, Rs. 10,000 apart. This is the dearer of the two, and it is the one TCL publish as heat and cool.
