Anyone one know how much is the charges for con-seal piping "copper and drain pipe?

I am looking for 1hp, 1.5hp, and 2hp piping.

Good question, I m asking the same as well.
Got quoted by one aircon guy.
Rm120 for chemical wash. I move 2 aircon
1hp cost me 1k -both about 30 ft.. Damn expensive.
Going for another quote.

standard pricing as below, price base on 10feet length.

1hp: RM180~220
1.5hp: RM200~240
2hp: RM230~270

advise to find those contractor who having shop and not those driving around with small lorry. Pay little bit more one shot only but wil get better quality and service. Try TJ Glomac Mr Jye 016 213 3767 he is very professional

For conseal normally is charge by per feet. need to know for 1HP, 1.5HP, and 2HP. Both Inverter and Non-inverter.

Mine one is non inverter type. Old aircon
Left by previous owner. Need to move the
location, say 15 ft each. Reasonably it should
cost me rm300 each, all in right?
Will try tj coz my hse in Puchong

Normally the contractor will visit the site first before they give an more accurate quote. Else, there could be arguments later.
I have been quoted RM 300 for conceal air con piping up to 1.5HP for length of 20'. This involves a lot of hacking work. This is for non inverter.

For inverter will be much higher because of the min thickness of the copper piping and additional control wire.

Those prices above are just for hacking & installing the conceal piping.

Doesn't include plastering & repainting.

nope

don't think you will accept the plastering quality from the air con workers

quoted RM15 per feet..

inverter and non-inverter piping is different?

Yes, is thicker.

My friend told me to diy, need to find where to buy the a/c piping just lay the cable + piping (input and output)+ the black polymer cover for both the pipe. Is cheaper, but need time.

Still waiting for quote.

Depend on the brand and the gas they use. It is not about the inverter.

If that brand use normal gas r22 but inverter, the piping is normal only. While if that brand use r410 gas but inverter, than the pipe is bigger.

I was being charge RM450 for 1.5, for just about 10~15 feet (really conceal), after that, it is reading balcony and the pipe has to show uo...i think.. this is expensive...

If it is for inverter, then should reasonable. There are additional control wire from the compressor to the blower unit for inverter A/C

My living aircond to balcony compressor may need around 20 feet too.
For 1.5HP non inverter, they charge 400 for conceal copper pipe(8 feet conceal only), the balance copper pipe is not conceal to balcony.
I din buy aircond yet means no free 10 feet copper pipe, so they will charge me total 20 feet copper pipe.
400 consider reasonable?

It is not inverter...

Very close to my price...

Sometimes, the charges may be a bit different depending on the site condition. Landed property or condo?
In the balcony, can use the PVC trunking. This copper piping can be hidden inside the trunking.
The trunking painted the same colour as the wall. Looks nice...

Have you tried asking your aircon supplier to quote you for the piping? At least you have a comparison.

Kelvyn, I think ur quote is quite cheap.
Crap, the fellow charge me 1k for moving 2 aircon.
Must get another quote...
Another headache is termite treatment..aiks

1k to relocate 2 aircon is damn expensive. Have you tried asking
those electrical shops that are sell aircon to quote you?
Maybe it include cleaning and pumping in gas for the aircon as well?

Anyway, for easy of mind, better to get another 1 or 2 quotes.
