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

thought i read somewhere in this thread that says york and daikin are same company but still manufactured differently... so go for york?

Manufacture by same company, may not share same design like difference blower.

Action and York are nearly identical in some model.

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

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.

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.

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.

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