he is referring to Daikin FTKD25DVM / RKD25DVM - HP:1


Its INverter but using non-inverter piping and R22 gas...the only Inverter aircond that is using R22 and Non Inverter piping

This is just my personal experience and opinion..

I m going to install concealed NORMAL Piping for my renovation. This has been decided after I have asked a few questions to myself and also consulted some friends in the AC industry.

1) Are you installing Inverter ACs? Do you need Inverters?

2) Budget - Inverter piping is more expensive by about RM4-5 /
ft....might end up RM1-2k more ure paying depending on units and distance of piping

3) Inverter ACs maintenance - R410 is more expensive. Cleaning and chemical washing..we're looking at RM200-RM300 or more for 1HP AC

4) WHen is R22 phasing out...my friend told me approx. 10 years ..assuming he is correct...i think 10 yrs...is more than enuff

5) Inverter will only reduce power usage if it's continuously on for maybe about 8 hours or more

-------------------------------------

My Conclusion:

1) Inverter only suitable for my rooms cos I will on more than 8 hours...so for my rooms I m going to use Daikin Inverter that runs on R22 and normal piping

2) The rest are all using normal AC



Hope that helps
