Hi all,

i need some help here. I just installed an aircon for my room, and i saw that the outdoor compressor unit have no screw to hold the compressor. Is this normal?

The compressor is kinda light and i can simply lift it with 1 hand. What i worry about its because i stay at 7th floor, the wind sometime get stronger, so there is a potential the wind will cause movement to the unit. Another thing is that after a long term of usage, the compressor may start to get vibrate and moving thus cause movement to the unit too. At the end, the outdoor unit may suicide itself from 7th floor. Does my worry sound extra or i should take precaution on it??  icon_question.gif

For safety reason the compressor should be secured. No question on that.
However, since this is located at high levels, fastening the base of the compressor is also going to pose a high risk.
How is the worker going to reach the base of the compressor?
Later on, when there is a need to service the compressor, how is the worker going to reach the base of the compressor to unfasten the holding down bolts?

A good installer would have install a MS bracket that is attached to the wall. Since the fastening bolts are higher up, they can be access easily from the opened window. The base of the MS brakcet will prevent any slippage and movement of the compressor.

Generally, the installation workmanship is really bad sad.gif

tell the air con seller about this DAMN installer, so that others won't be another victim......

TS, i experienced with slow/ bad after sales service from Mitsubishi, their technician came to check & confirmed compressor faulty only, not repair on the spot. then waited for another 3 weeks and follow up with numberless of call only they came to repair/ change the compressor sad.gif

Some seller have their own in-house installers while some contract out the installation to outsiders. Not sure if talking to the seller would help if the installation is done by others. Anyway, no harm trying.

TS should talk to the seller to get them to rectify the problems created by the installers.

If house owners do not insist on having the MS bracket to support the compressor, some installer will avoid using that as it cost them RM20-30 each. These people will try to cut cost...
