they are mould. they bloom.
my allergic nose doesnt lie.
daikin servicemen will tell you it is dust.

once they make the fan fins their home, they will never go away.
they comes back a few days even after chemical cleaning.

daikin has an "anti-mold" button
it has the fan working for an hour after it is shut off to dry the fins.
even that doesnt help.
I call it the "waste of electricity" button.

not to say it defeats the whole purpose of saving electricity with inverter type compressor.

never daikin again.

Many say daikin good, my neighbor use all daikin, she change it during reno early last year. Since last week the one unit compressor making noise. I know it because the compressor is about 15' away from my master bedroom, so noisy till we can't sleep with windows open "during rainy days" got to turn on Ac. Hope she get it fix soon.

I guess is all about luck, my Panasonic is still running good.

Sometime compressor noisy might due to installation problem. As is always recommend to get a professional installed. When air cond piping doesnt not installed properly such as wrong copper size, copper pipe not purge or vaccumm properly this will all lead to decrease the compressor life span.

But of coz cant deny sometime depend on luck.

I can hear its very likely due to fan.

Really a? The air cond contractor recommend me Daikin as he said the compressor noise is the lowest among Panasonic, York, Daikin and Sharp.

Now have to think twice. Anyone can share?

All I can say is depends on your luck whether a good installation and a good machine or the other way around...but overall daikin is good enough...panasonic decreased in quality material...york noisy due to high fan speed...sharp good for plasmacluster tech...

My aircond installer recommend me Daikin inverter 2hp for my living hall. Fr what I gather here, no need to use inverter type for large hall area. Reason being that since compressor will not be start-stopping, so inverter tech will not be fully utilize for cost savings. Is this true?

Btw, anyone here knows the price for inverter and non-inverter type? Tq.

Nonstop compressor means it is undercapacity. It will hurt ur electricity bill n ur compresor will worn out very fast.

Who said inverter compressor ware non stop?
This is called variable fan & compressor speed.
Once is getting cold will be reduce the speed.
Even outdoor stop, but internal still feels air flaw and won't become too warm.

Mine inverter will stop for while in setting higher temperature.

I'm quoted Daikin 2.5hp @rm2550, inverter type rm3160, by my aircond installer, incl of installation. Is this reasonable? I'm just thinking of going for the non inverter type as I don't normally turn it on. Like my current house, I hv a 2.5hp Panasonic for 10yrs di and still good, coz I hardly use it .

If u r not a heavy user and ur bajet is limited, better buy non inverter. It will take a very long time for u to breakeven d additional cost of buying an inverter a.c.

Daikin compressor very quiet, have been using 5 units for 4 years.

Living room can use non inverter if you don't switch it on frequent and not planing to run for long hours.

Yeah. Same view here.

mind to share the contact? or quote me the price? im looking for 1 HP air cond unit for my bedroom

Confirm the rate without installation process, as they are not famous for their services. Just buy an ac from there, if they are providing it in an affordable rate. Hire some other firm for ac installation palm beach gardens and maintenance process who are famous for their customer satisfaction.

any comment for Gree air corn?

My parents has been using it (1HP) for half a year till now, so far so good. Hope it can last for another few more years. Cheers.

I have been using a Daikin 1.5HP Inverter (FTKD-35GVM) for about 7 months now. So far so good.

Cleaned the two filters quite regularly but still the fan rotor is always the dirtiest part of any aircon. Getting the tech to come clean it can cost quite a bit so been able to clean it yourself is a big plus. Taking out the fan rotor is a daunting task for me and so I took the easy way out by just vacuuming the fan blades. Usually these are block by those vertical and horizontal airflow blades but I found they can be remove quite easily. Happy to say I was able to remove 80% of the grime stuck to the fan blades with not much trouble. I know some brands allows easy access and some brands, you cant really do much. Thank goodness, this Daikin model allows that even though its not suppose to be an end user job

I will post a series of diagrams for you to follow below. Just be careful not to probe too hard with your vacuum crevice tool, you dont want to break any of the fins from the fan rotor. My vacuum brush tool was too big to enter the space. A brush would really help.

1. First remove the Horizontal Blades. The little shafts can drop out so take care or you will lose them. When installing it back, make sure the right side goes in first as it is keyed.


2. There are 5 clips holding down the Vertical blades. 3 at the back and 2 in the front. The 3 plastic hook at the back needs some prying using a flat blade screwdriver.


3. The front 2 catch can be easily unhook by bending the soft plastic blades.



Once you get these out, you can easily access the fan rotor with your vacuum cleaner. Make sure not to probe too hard as you might break a fin blade.

Btw I set my temp around 26C at night from 8:30pm to 6:30am (about 10 hours), with some TV viewing, a PC or two running. Usage is 4-5kHW per night I am getting. When I first started using this aircon, I had to set around 25C to 26C but lately I found it too cold at 25C and I can go up to 26C-27C.

Hi,

Roughly how much your monthly electricity bill?
