Actually, i believe that it depends on your usage and on the dust volume as well.

As you know Malaysia is very dusty, regardless. Like my bro's apartment, even close all the doors and windows 24hrs, today you sweep and mop nicely. Next day, the dust appears. So sometimes it's not the fault of the air-conditioner but the fault of our environment also.

Maybe you should wash the indoor unit filter (the one that can be taken out when opening the front cover) every week.

As I know Daikin is the most famous brand in Singapore. But their price is higher than other brand. My house is now using Daikin and Mitsubitshi. Both is good.

Carrier and Trane are more on commercial project.

thats why end users hardly find these brands from the aircond shop.

Here is my output :
----------------------

I bought 4 new Airconds,

2 x Panansonic Ionizer for living room area

2 x Daikin Inverter R22 for rooms

-----------------------------

I realised Daikins are really silent compared to my Panasonic and surprisingly the Daikins are really cold too...I normally switch it to 24 C and that's enuff..

so far soo good..even the compressors, my Panasonic and Daikins are side by side...Panasonic compressors are a little noise (not extreme) but Daikins are really silent..

Just my 2 cents

yes, Daikin is a solid built quality aircond.

surprisingly, Panasonic aircond is one of the lightest set among the aircond brands. (material quality down)

I have 5 x 1hp Daikin inverter aircon at home, 2 for living room and 3 for each bedroom, bought it 3 years ago. Our usage is 1 x 1hp 24 hours a day, rarely swtich on more than one aircon unless there's guest.

Me and my wife work from home, always a single aircon running 24/7. My monthly electricity bill is averagely RM230.00.

ok i'll check it out . if use regular power point location, I'll be very interested.

Sorry can elaborate pls on using "regular point location"?

Reason I ask is my new home does not have a lot of power points (thats how it was built) and Im trying not to add in these power points as it requires hacking etc.

Now im installing 2x1.5hp's & 3x1hp all planning to pull cables from the existing points.

Any advise if this will be an issue?

thanks

This is what I understand.
Air-cond has 2 parts,
Outside Compressor and inside the air-cond unit.
Power point usually near the inside unit for most air cond.
For Daikin, The "official/recommended" power point is to be near the outside compressor unit.
A workaround can be done by the installer but then it will not be the "official/recommended" configuration.

You need to identify if the point are loop put direct. If you use a looping point and share 2 our more units of AC, you looking for trouble. Also if you have instant water heater never share the same point.

Carrier customer service sucks.
About 2 years ago, the sensor on one of my indoor units was not functioning and it took them nearly a month to come and replace despite many calls.
I swore I will never ever buy carrier again.
I recently installed 5 units Daikin. Quite happy with them so far.

Drainage pipe didn't install properly? If the ac didn't have any water build up then i suppose there is less chance for mould to build up. Anyhow sharp is good for their plasma cluster tech thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
