Just back from shop,got quoted rm980 for york iPlasma 1HP with installation...rm1180 for york normal aircorn 1.5HP with installation.is the price ok?cash terms...if credit card need to charge 2%.

Ok,so far this shop is cheapest i got for york.another shop 2200 without installation.

what brand are you looking for? btw even you do all conceal piping, remember that the aircond still have a lot of work to do...they need to mount the aircond, mount the compressor, connect the piping you install, readjust if it is not enough length and also install the wiring... conceal is only part of it...

i have the same thinking as you that installing aircond is easy simple installtation, but after i saw the installation at my house today, is no easy simple job...need to be cautious and tidy...or else will have problem later...mine simple installation as compressor and blower unit is very near...but still took almost 3 hour... this is with the wiring done and no piping conceal...

for your info i bought my aircond from the installer straight...1.5HP daikin inverter and 1.5 panasonic basic unit...i didnt go thru any shops.

i just install daikin 1.5hp invertor...the installer said cheaper to maintain compare to panasonic invertor...at living hall install 1.5hp basic unit...daikin rm1800...the panasonic rm1450...

should be R22 as the installer told me the servicing cost is lower compare to panasonic inverter...

yes, i agree with you on the shop part...i went a few shop,they advise me differently according to their sales price margin. i ended up buying from the installer. he told me anything aircond is almost the same...he gave me advise on the inverter difference between daikin and panasonic. then the normal unit he said not much difference so i choose panasonic instead of york as my work place use york very loud sound...

both aircond is for my new house...the only thing is the installation is on the high side...

Yes,for my room i got the inverter unit as if turn it on,it will be night till the next morning.the living hall will only be on if there is guess...so thats why i'm choosing just the basic model.

This installer i know should be doing on his own.without attach to any shop...as he did mostly factory and also big projects...hopefully is worth paying the price :-)

Where you buy the additional filter?it wont effect the air blow?

Ooo,at daiso...let me think where got daiso near me...haha...nearest is setia city mall...that will also take me time to go there...will try to pay a visit...

Not sure which model is mine...panasonic the most basic model without eco navi and anything...is just a basic aircorn unit. But i've use panasonic before,is not that cooling compare to york...but for home it work just fine as the aircorn and compressor produce less sound compare to york...thats what makes me choose it over york...price diff only 50...although i personally like the york cooling king...

I already install daikin inverter...well,hopefully it'll serve me well for long long time.

I guess all these aircord is ok...but the installer is more important...my installer reccemend me daikin for invertor...he can provide service so no worries there...

Not sure about the placing.but as i watch my installer install 2 different aircond at my house,both unit have different way to install the wiring and also copper pipe...remember,all this stuff come with price...what you paid is what you get.i try to reduce the installation fee's but he warn me that he'll need to reduce the quality of piping n etc that he use...

Remember aircord come from factory where there is QC for it...but installtion is subjective as there is no specific QC for installer...some good 1 might advise but sometimes we as consumer are arrogant that we want to install it according to what we want and not following the reccemendation...

another thing is to makesure that we got the suitable aircord HP for the particular space we are using. Especially when we are choosing inverter...this is what my installer told me...where he insist to come and have a look my house before he reccemend and quote me the price for the aircond.

Another thing is my previous home my compressor is just put on the floor with 2bricks below it.been running for 3years without any problem...this aircond run 5-8hours for 2-4days a week.

Well,no point arguing which is good or which is bad...as mostly malaysian like the brand that have most publicity and advertisement...

Just get whatever you think is reasonable ans suits your need :-)

I install my daikin inverter 1.5HP only rm1800...

well,i just installed daikin 1.5HP for 1800...maybe you double check your room size then only decide to take 1HP or 1.5HP.

york non invertor rm980 for which model?basic model?or with the i-plasma model?
because price would be basic model --> iplasma --> inverter.
inverter will be the most expensive,while basic model will be the cheapest.
