Err.. Whats the different between R410a and R32?

Newer gas loh.. They claim it more energy efficient for R32 also faster cooling speed

Ok Thanks bro for your info.. But does Malaysian market has R32? What brand? Daikin?

Another promotion by daikin

Yeap,i got d free gift also,bought my unit last friday & install on saturday...

You're deep-pocketed.. That's R32 unit.. Expensive man!!

Mine not r32,is r410a...
Same free give also...
Most of d electrical nv mention bout dis,i gues they will jz take themself...

myfav is R22 bro. still can be used till 2030. Given that time our aircon already 15 yrs old. just trade in when buy new in 2030 la
now R22 still the cheapest in addition to clearance

as bro kimsim said , only selfish ppl will opt for R22 aircon... non-environment friendly and noisier ...trade in 15yrs old aircon ? nah , worthless at all

if your aircond is not meant to work with R410a gas, so you have to change the aircond in the future if you want to fill the new gas. Just that you can maintain the piping.
My advice would be to just continue using the R22 aircond if it is not giving you problems. If your piping and aircond are properly installed there should be very little chance of leakage so you don't need to refill the gas often anyway. If you find that you need to top up the gas regularly then you need to find the source of the leak then only worry about the choice of gas.

nope. now ozone layer thicker bro. noisier? my 20 yrs old toshiba even very quiet bro.

nope. now ozone layer thicker bro. noisier? my 20 yrs old toshiba even very quiet bro. as long as it is still legal. aim to be rich also selfish too. all human beings are selfish. so what?

When do u plan to have one R32 model?

R410a vs r22 gas now jz diffferent rm50,and installation fees different about rm30...
But i duno y the installation fees different rm30 since d pipe for d 1st 10 feet is free...
Maybe more job nid to be done?

r410 higher pressure so need thicker pipe. thus the higher price.

if you understand the issue then you know that is not completely true.
R-410a is only *slightly* more environment friendly than R22.

R22 = contributes to ozone depletion and is a green house gas (i.e. traps heat)
R410a = doesn't contribute to ozone depletion, but is equally bad (if not worse) as a green house gas.

so, if I'm shopping for a brand new air con and starting from scratch, best case is to get all new. i.e. R410a air cond + R410a piping for future proofing
but if I'm considering retrofitting an installation, assuming old piping but in good condition and installation is done professionally, R22 is still a viable alternative if cash flow / cost is a factor.

The last time I was shopping for air conds (a couple of years ago) I ended up with Daikin's R22 inverters as a reasonable compromise between savings and environmental friendliness..

I mean d piping is included when u buy d air-cond?
Or included in d sub-con installing package?
If it is in d subcon package,den it explain everything...

no piping included in the package from manufacturer, only drain pipe is inside the AC unit

ic...
ok,thx...
now i understand...

Hi, I'm currently renovating my house. I am thinking to ask the contractor to install R410a pipe for all my aircond areas.

Just to clarify:

1. Can I still use a R22 aircond on a R410a pipe?

2. I understand now some non-inverter models are using R410a gas. What is the average price difference of non-inverter R22 model versus non-inverter R410a model?

Thanks!
