Typically, a 1.5 Ton Split Air Conditioner uses a maximum of 10A or 2200 Watts, and gradually drops to around 3.5 amperes once the desired room temperature is reached. However, in extremely hot weather, ACs don’t drop their consumption much. Inverter ACs maintain the ampere to reach the desired temperature, leading to higher electricity usage.
Living in Bil Bil, Pakistan, it’s essential to switch to a smarter lifestyle to avoid high electricity bills. Although the Haier UPS device has been on the market for two to three years, I recently discovered it on Daraz and decided to give it a try. Initially skeptical, I installed it myself since the installation was straightforward.
How to Install Haier UPS Device
- Take out the Inverter Card which is on the right side of the unit
- Be kind and be patient
- Now look for CN4 or CN25 port socket
- Connect the UPS device connector to it
- Place the Inverter card back to its original position
- Let the UPS device Hang so you can switch it ON and OFF anytime easily.
- Now turn on your AC normally and turn on UPS Device.
The device connects to the inverter card inside the indoor unit, specifically to the UPS socket (CN4 or CN25), depending on the Haier AC model. It works with both 1 Ton and 1.5 Ton units.
While some users report a consumption of 4.3 amperes, my 1.5 Ton Haier Air Conditioner showed a maximum usage of only 550 to 600 Watts.
Note: This device is compatible only with Haier, Candy Series, Changhong Ruba, and possibly Enviro Split Air Conditioners, as they are all manufactured by Haier.
Haier AC Performance with the UPS Device
With the UPS device, the blower runs at full speed, and the air throw remains the same. The only difference is that the compressor runs in UPS mode, which takes longer to cool the room. However, after about an hour, the room temperature stabilizes at a comfortable 26°C.
The installation does not require extra wiring or cause any damage to the Air Conditioner. I highly recommend this device for those with Haier DC Inverter Air Conditioners or Candy Series units to significantly reduce electricity costs.
Once you switch ON this device, U1 will appear instead of tempreture assigned to achieve. This U1 means now your AC is working on a UPS Mode.
Some experts claim the device is empty inside and merely switches the UPS mode on and off. Even so, spending 1500 rupees on a switch that can save future electricity bills is worthwhile to me.
Yes, this device works perfectly. I highly recommend it, especially for those planning to buy 1 Ton Split Air Conditioners. Instead of opting for more expensive AC with additional ampere lock features, get a Haier AC or Candy Series and connect this UPS device to save on electricity bills.
This article is based on my personal experience and is not sponsored. For those interested, search for “Haier UPS device for AC” on Daraz for various options.
Here’s some market research on The Best 1 Ton Full DC Inverter ACs in Pakistan this year so far, although companies claim that they are selling Full DC Inverter with T3 Compressor but after some research only two companies qualified ‘Kenwood and Haier’ rest other all are selling T1 Compressor with a tag of T3 Tropical Climate or T3 Climate which is absolutely nonsense.
