thanks alot!very informative!

any one know how much is the cost for single compressor for multi unit indoor 1.5HP + 1.5HP or 2HP.

My non inverter Panasonic already used for 8 years and never give any noise.
But in Qatar, a Samsung compressor unit can give very high vibration and noise due to the fan are choked badly.
So, proper maintenance is still an important factor.

another thing,my new house is using a single phase meter.how do i knw how much load it can carry w/o tripping?is 2x1hp and 1x2hp plus other normal house appliances consider overload?

Won't be overload lah.

Mine is 3x1hp & 1x2.5hp sometime switch on 2x1hp & 2.5hp also using washer dryer & water heater at same time.

thanks alot!i hv been asking around aboutt this,and most of them said should not be more than 3hp accumulated aircond installed.so 2x1hp and 1x2hp it is then.been thinking to chnge 2hp to 2.5hp afraid 2hp not powerful enough for living and dining hall...but out of budget

you should try for panasonic 2hp inverter seem like much better design and new outdoor unit as well.

bro kimsim,why suddenly recommend panasonic 2hp inverter?is ME 2hp not good enough?i afraid the quality of panasonic.many forumers experiencing bad things.based on my findings ME is the best.what say u?

ME 2hp inverter not as good, indoor unit were used like 1hp blower size and does not have wide & long airfall, and don't have auto swing left & right way, but outdoor unit size you can imaging how big to compare others brand.

For me I would skip it 2hp and instead to 2.5hp at least won't be under power and used bigger blower size for indoor unit.

ok,i see what u mean.let say i am sticking with 2hp due to budget constraint,what brand and model u recommend?

I would suggest you stick with ME 2hp non inverter deluxe model, last time my Aircon installer told me cooler than inverter 2hp.

MS-FG18

5.2kW/2HP

• Easy Clean

Bro kimsim,

Need your advice on this;

My living + dinning area is 9.8ft (3m)(wide) x 25ft (7.5m)(length). Currently the ceiling height is 9ft but I will install flat plaster ceiling.

Based on pana online calculator, it recommend 1.5HP air con.

However, due to my unit are facing west, its very hot in the evening.

So, I plan to install one unit of 2.0HP air con instead, ME, model: MS-GH17VC (Non inverter type), From the catalogue, it say the required gas pipe size is 12.7mm, and I measure my current copper gas pipe size is 16mm (outer diameter), should be no problem with this model , right ?

Currently, the liquid & gas piping are pre-installed up to my living area. It's provided by the developer.

Kindly please advise me TQTQ

For me I would choose for 1.5x 2 for living hall & dinning area, if got budget then go with 2.5hp x 1

you are saying 1x2.5hp is better than 2x1.5hp?is the 2.5hp cooling that powerful?

From ME 2.5hp specs inverter more efficient than 1.5x 2

Cooling wise for sure is better
