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?

Mine is condo.
The RM400 is quote by ID company(i believe they sub to aircond guy), this is included conceal <10 feet for internal wall, and external wall <20 feet with PVC WHITE trunking(this is condo management required all exposed cable and pipe). This ID company have done many renovation at my condo, so the rm400 is final amount without any hidden cost. But i din give them any renovation job, so i did not ask them to do copper pipe.

Then the rm400 is included cover and touch up the hacking part, maybe they give free touch up if we give them the renovation project.
Means if i find outside aircond guy, the price should be within this amt, cant too far rite?

So now i have ask 1 aircond guy come to my places, they also cant give me actual cost as well. His just ask me to trust him, he say he will quote me the actual copper pipe length. but i did tell him whether can done within 400, he say impossible ..bla bla...he use the good copper pipe la, pvc trunking expensive la... good material la....

I will visit the jintex tis week, the price for 1.5HP panasonic econavi around rm1400 and add up 150 for installation included the 10 feet copper pipe.
In this case i think rm400 should able to cover the hacking, extra 20 feet copper pipe and pvc trucking cost?
