Pana made in japan?

I'm not expecting DIY, hence probably may not consider ME. ME to me not very popular in aircond (probably I'm wrong).

My electrical said between Panasonic and Daikin, Daikin give better service and part replacement. In term of outlook
design, Panasonic look modern outlook but Daikin looks plastic.

Thanks for your sharing.

Regarding why Daikin or York with more service center compared to ME, this probably come from few factors such
as Daikin/York has more customers. Eg. the population ratio maybe 9:1 ?

hahay. where does come like that? more service centre does not mean not durable. it means more people use daikin/york than mitsu bro. as people say ' if you ever try daikin, you will never look other brands' hahay

Panasonic just released non-inverter that use R410a gas...

This is good reason to adopt Pana non inverter which can support  future R410a. Any idea Daikin with non inverter able to use R410a?

Guys need your feeback.

2 bedrooms: one occupied, one guest room (seldom use)

the room occupied: panasonic/ME (inverter + ioniser?)
the guest room: any non-inverter to suggest that is less than rm1k?

living room: seldom use air cond also (any non-inverter to suggest?)

currently i'm surveying lazada as my market price, not sure i can get cheaper elsewhere...

Sorry, a bit confuse. Malaysia current gas using R22 and in future will replace with r32 or r410a ?

actually i realise panasonic inverter is quite popular, almost the 8 out of 10 houses near mine use panasonic brand.

i think both pan and ME inverter are about the same price right?

any recommendation for non-inverter?

I done some research online,its say required just 20BTUs/sf  ? mean if my space have 195sf 1HP will do the job ? but how bout ceiling height? is the sf already include the ceiling height ? my ceiling is 10ft standard as many house. Need advice thx.

From HVAC Engineer perspective , u sir hit the point accurately  . 
inverter function is suitable in single person office applications . Ppl enter and leaves the room ... causing fluctuations of the load to vary by a lot . Ur saving takes place when the inverter start running at part load .

In normal house , chances are ur living room indoor capacity is is lower than ur room capacity . Ur unit regardless using inverter or non inverter will behave the same way .

So no point using inverter for living room applications .

Panasonic, non-inverter, 1hp. Same situation. Only use in bedroom during 8hours of sleep.  Bedroom size is roughly ~100 sqf, cant remember (standard pkns low-cost apartment in shah alam).

For the past 2 years, elec bill average ~RM80.

Then, moved to a new condo last week, first service done prior to reinstall. Damn cold now, feels like new aircond installed hehe.. Anyway, now bedroom size is 3.3m x 3.85m = 12.705 m² @ 136.76 sqf. Waiting for the new elec bill.

that why need advice ? normally how we calculate the space x sf ? as now i need to buy 7 aircond for my house...

When I bought my Daikins they were made in Thailand, so they don't have York (i.e. OYL) DNA. Daikin owns OYL which makes York under license in Malaysia, but the York brand itself is owned by Johnson Controls.
A bit confusing ^^'

Yeah I know Daikin bought the OYL factory that makes York in Malaysia, so effectively it would make sense if local Daikins came from the local factory, but I'm still pretty sure that Daikin doesn't own the York brand.

theoretically, yes

i stayed in 5x4m room , 1hp ... with fan... 23c..on for 2hours and i off it... too cold for me ..

why do u need 1.5hp then ? LOL
