Yes.

You need to know what A/C are you using, Non-Inverter? Inverter? And the brand of inverter because some inverter use thicker copper than other, some use 4 wires, some use 5 wires.

Bro, wat mean by the 4 wires & 5 wires. Different AC use different?
May I know wat different between the 4 & 5 wires?

You no need to know this, unless you want to DIY.
Even if you want to DIY, you need to have the manual in place.
the number 4 or 5 is more on the controller wire.

Know the brand you want and ask how many wires required. Some need 2 some need 1 for signal.

Because all my air con is going conseal....and the conseal is done.
For the air con i use three different brand, i already let my main con the model and brand.
But the contractor no ask me which model/brand for which room de....so i worry the contractor set up wrong.
How to see which air con use 4 or 5 wired?

Why need to go full conceal? You are looking for trouble later on, especially when you want to change brand.
Conceal a PVC pipe for wiring and air cond copper pipe are the best way, so you no need to worry.
If your renovation works not done, suggest to spend some extra money to redo this.
Basic type air cond only 3 wires, inverter are 4 or 5 wires. And air cond installation should be done by air con man, not your contractor do everything first.

For the wires, can I put all 5 wires ready in case future need?

For the conceal part.....my house got a lot beam so need to turn here turn there, even hide inside PVP also hard to remove without hack.

If this is the case, you shall not conceal and reroute the air cond pipes.
It may not look good in some sense, but when problem comes, you will know the pain of hacking, it will be very messy.
*
Bro mean dont conceal? just put casing cover up.....?
I also worry for future gas leaking, but for now i do my best like use inverter pipe(more thick) and I ask the contractor test the pipe before plaster back. Test with putting gas inside and set a gas meter at the pipe. Test around 1 week+.

Nope, you need to install such that both the units are as near as possible. With this way you can hack the wall with a hole, put PVC pipe, conceal back that PVC pipe.
Then the pipe and wiring will be covered by both of the units.
Later I show you my house's photo on both of the installation method.

I not living in landed house like bro cry.gif
So the air con compressor cannot simple set one.....got special place to put de.
For some room and living is quite far...... rclxub.gif

Bro, wanna ask the NON inverter air con only use 3 wired only?
And the inverter air con use 4-5 wired?
Thanks

On my first photo, that's my master bed room setup, you will see the white hose part, that's the water outlet while the black part is the connection point to the outdoor unit. Those are the parts which will be removed for servicing.
So you need to make sure this part can easily being access.
My PVC hole won't be covered by anything.
*
The wall is face outside, right?
If the hole no cover up raining water will no go inside?
Bird/insert will not go inside? Even the air con block the hole but still got small gap there

Outside, inside also the same.
Insect unlikely to enter since we already blocked it with paper.
As for rain water also unlikely since it is covered by roof, chances of getting rain water are quite low.

Simple and flexible rclxms.gif
Maybe future got change get landed house can do this way

Nothing to do with landed or not landed, you just need to plan properly.

Condo management not allow simple hack and air con compressor got special place to put de.
So cannot just put next wall with indoor air con.

You can use plaster ceiling sides to cover the piping.
Looks like normal non inverter hmm.gif
*
Cover with plaster ceiling still need to hack the wall for go back down side because a lot of beam....cannot just straight go thought beam.
Not good for gas pipe to go up and down too much so i just do hack conseal in wall.


Just see the pic can know the pipe is inverter or not...... rclxub.gif
