Three weeks back we bought Kelvinator 1.5 ton 2 star A/c. It came with "who-knows-the-brand" stabilizer. When they installed, the stabilizer didn't work, so they brought the another one next day and installed (I asked for a branded one, but they brought that unknown local brand and installed when I was not home). AC ran for about half an hour, then stopped. We never know when AC will turn on or turn off. We made a complaint the very same day but they never care to do the service.
Roughly, AC runs an hour or so daily. AC automatically turns on/off. Voltage is in the range of ~180-240 and stabilizer never cut off. But still AC turns off automatically, i.e. totally OFF. No display, no control or anything. As per the specification of the stabilizer, it should run if the voltage between 185-250, but most of the times AC is not running, even when voltage is in range of 220-240. I am keep on guessing, what would be the issue. Whether the AC unit is fault or stabilizer is a faulty unit or both of them are faulty units. I don't know.
After two weeks booked a complaint, and service people without even inspecting/investigating the machine they straight asking us to buy a double/triple booster stabilizer. It's irritating when they are giving a sales pitch when responding for a service call.
Finally, they came with a double booster with a bill of it (quoted higher than the street price). I asked them to check the AC for any repair before giving a sale pitch on double booster. To my fate, there was no power when they came, so they can't check the AC. They waited for more than an hour and left, asking me call them when power comes. When I called, they said its raining that they will come later.
They haven't come yet, it's been three weeks since we bought.
Now, what could be the problem. I guess, only service engineers can say it after inspecting the unit. But I don't buy it that the voltage in our area is too low for the stabilizer that too without even checking it. We have a digital meter, so I checked many a times and I feel its good enough for the stabilizer.
I think normal stabilizer would be good enough, correct me if I am wrong.
I have quotation for two models if the normal is not enough

Guys, now what should I do? If I am gonna buy a new stabilizer which one I should buy? You can suggest one between the above two or any other good ones.
