Just installed my airconds today. Unfortunately, didn't think about concealing the condensation pipe, so it's just running down the side of the wall now. Ah well.

It's for aesthetic purpose only. Not sure whether the trunking of Ur air conditioner can be wrapped in PCV and painted in the same colour as the wall, if it's possible, then at least it would look nicer.

Any conceal piping is charge by lump sum or per foot run. It won't deduct from standard installation.

I was thinking of getting a contractor to hack the wall prior to the installation of the air conditioner by another air conditioner contractor since the 1st contractor might not a expertise of air conditioner and the concealing works of the air conditioner contractor might not be good.

The workmanship is fine, noticed all the pipe was directed to the gutter. No complaints on the plastering job as well.

My contractor proposed a lump sum inclusive the air-cond installation. I did 7 rooms, and the cost is RM2.1++K, and then installed 4 a/c ( 1 unit of 2HP Non-Inverter, 1 unit of 1.5HP Inverter and 2 units of 1HP Inverter), he lumped it at RM2.5K for everything.

Any diffrence between the price for concealed piping and non concealed piping??

Lots of difference.

Just imaging your see a Big Black cable and a PVC piple on your wall if only option is throguh the wall (back is not open area).
Than you will do it


Nope. You should ask the aircon folk to hack and do all the aircon piping work, which they are the expert of it. Once they do all the piping, they will do simple cement work. You than ask can ask you main con to do proper cement and plaster work (pay extra).
Just take note and plan if you have plaster ceiling included what the gap from ceiling and plaster (5 - 9 inch).

That work out to be around RM 500 for a 1hp with 15 feet distance.

means the quote is reasonable?

Maybe ask few more and compare. I got 2 quote for comparison, and price are very close.

Maybe also ask IF the install of new aircon how much will it be ...., than may get cheaper too
WIN-WIN

Ok guys, here is my final story regarding this matter:-
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...340&p=46476561&

tumpang topic a bit.

i plan to install full height built-in wardrobe but the air con piping in on the same wall. can i install the air con on the built in wardrobe?

This was the quote i got from my air-cond guy.

1. Living Room area - Type: 2hp / Standard : RM1,150.00
2. Dining Hall area - Type: 1.5hp / Standard : RM800.00
3. Kitchen area - Type: 1.0hp / Standard : RM550.00
4. Ground Floor guest room - Type: 1.0hp / Standard : RM450.00
5. Master Bedroom - Type: 1.5hp / Inverter : RM750
6. First Floor guest rooms - Type 1.0hp / Inverter : RM450 x 2 rooms = RM900.00


All the work is for concealed water and copper pipes with installation placement of the compressors at the rear rooftop of the house. I don't have the exact length but i know its very far especially from living room to back of the house.


For supply and installation of air-cond units, the price is as follows.

Panasonic 1.0hp / Standard : RM980.00
Panasonic 1.5hp / Standard : RM1,300.00
Panasonic 2.0hp / Standard : RM2,000.00

Panasonic 1.5hp / Inverter : RM1,650.00
Panasonic 1.0hp / Inverter : RM1,350.00

Most of my friends have used this guys to install their air-cond units over the years and he's been quite reliable. Not too sure how the quality of his plastering work is as no one has used him to plaster their walls completely before. He mentioned that the price for the supply and installation of the air-cond units changes depending on the current price he orders the units at that point in time.

Hope that helps.
