i wanted to buy daikin with inverter as well but might reconsider it now. Thanks for the info.

That is flawed logic. It's like saying LV handbags should be sold at Pasar Malam to be good brand and not when it is sold at specialty shops.

My house has been using daikin(3 unit 1hp, 1 unit 1.5hp) for alsmot 1 year plus. it is an inverter unit. so far, everything is ok, trouble free and the 1hp's performance is excellent. as for the 1.5hp, we did service it after 6 month of usage as it suddenly not as cool as before. FYI, the 1.5hp unit from master bedroom can actually cool down family hall and up to living room downstairs if i leave the door open.

Reliability of the A/c only come when it use after 2 or 3 years. This is the time quality tell the difference.

What Air cond are you using??
looking for alternative to Daikin now.

4x sharp 1hp (3 plasma, 1 normal)
1 x yoke 2hp
1 x panasonic 1.5hp inverter.

All just installed today.

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

All brand new? If yes, why so Rojah with different brand?

Just installed York M Series. Not sure whether it's a new model or not. York website was designed by a Form 1 student I think.

One thing about daikin is that it seems to have an issue with the water condensation... very easily will start to have water coming out from the blower if the piping is not installed properly... also it takes abit more time to cool down... make sure the fins for the blower unit and compressor is cleaned regularly... this is what i experienced about diakin for a few years.... other than that.... no major issues like pcb failures etc... and still very quiet....
i also have national and panasonic models which are also a few years old.... the blower is now very noisy, the louver broke or something.... the plastic dont seem to be having a very good quality

U don't know what have U bought?

If the piping is not installed properly, does condensation happen only to Daikin air conditioner? May I know which specific model of Daikin Ur using?

is there any specific restriction on whether the outdoor unit (compressor) should to be installed not higher or lower than the indoor (blower) unit ? too high or too low will this lead to condensation problem or is it purely piping issue ?

No such restriction for compressor. The condensation water piping is separate from the refrigerant piping to the compressor. Most important thing about water piping is that it must be, obviously, lower than the indoor unit, and have a steep enough angle so that water flows fast and does not pool. Try to avoid too many sharp bends too. Dusts easily accumulates at bends, causing clogging in the future.

alternatively get a water pump

Water pump is not a good idea for a room. I wouldn't want to be woken up by the pump running in the middle of the night.

anyone know where can i look for Daikin air condition or their branch around setapak ?

So if buying York, is J series the better ones? Looking for the 2HP or 2.5HP model.

i have been using daikin for about 5 years, my rented house is also using daikin, all together i own 10 units (or more) daikin. got no problem at all

daikin is good

I just bought the Daikin Inverter R22 2.0Hp recently.

After installation, the indoor unit produced some vibration noise once the air cond is set to powerful mode or when set to swing. I call the shop and they will in turn complain to Daikin of this problem. I'm still waiting for Daikin's technician to contact me to arrange for home visit.

I wonder is it me being unlucky or is this a common problem?
