how about panasonic vs mitsubishi electric?

so far only see 2 shops around my area offer ME
feel like buy ME as i gonna buy ME fridge as well, plan to buy both fridge and air con at one shop to get better price
the price of ME inverter model is slightly higher than panasonic, but the tauke say ME cold down the room faster than panasonic?


2 unit 1HP and 1 unit 2HP for living room

my floorplan

would my choice be sufficient enough?

thanks

talked to the electrician that helping me doing the socket/heater point/ac point this afternoon
he suggested the same thing as you




install above the wall bath 2 and drain the water into either bath 1 or 2
i think 2HP/2.5HP should be sufficient as there's a fan near dining area
kitchen wont have too much heat as the stove was not inside the the unit
the dining area+kitchen+utility room will have sunlight on the afternoon-evening, so i gonna do put some tint film on the windows to reduce the heat

yeah, i also get bored with panasonic
all my relatives uses panasonic/national aircon and home appliances
so they all suggest panasonic to me

i noticed that ME give 2 years warranty on blower,and 5 years for outdoor unit
other brands give 1 year on blower +5 years on outdoor unit

spare parts wise, i was told that pana/york is widely available compared to ME
but when come to service the aircon, all are the same right?


regarding the 1HP aircon, i will use the aircon if the temperature is too uncomfortable, otherwise i will be using ceiling fan all the time
for the utility room, that room is for my sister and will be vacant as she's outstation for her studies, only come back to stay for 1 month, twice a year, so it will be a guest room i guess

worth to get inverter for the 2 * 1HP, or just get non-inverter model? should i go for inverter for the living hall as well?

yeah, i realized that also
i gonna follow kimsim's suggestion
thanks for the input
the thing is that the management limit 2 AC per unit, but i saw some unit got 3,
4 unit is not recommended by them, so i go for 3 split unit
if use 1 split unit 1.5HP + 1 system 3 (1HP+1.5HP+2HP), if the system 3's outdoor unit rosak = all 3 AC become useless

thanks for the suggestion, considered to put 2 unit in common area before
but the thing is that the management limit 2 AC per unit, but i saw some unit got 3, so maximum is 3
gonna install the outside one in a more central location

i see
thanks for the input
decided to go with std type aircon
panasonic generally dont fail fast, but it doesnt mean that other brands are not good
ME's easy clean is one of the factor i took it into consideration

thanks for sharing
the 2.5HP is used in your living room?
the shop quoted me 2.5HP inverter for 3.3k, how much you get yours?
i gonna take 2.5HP R22 type for living room due to short usage duration and the outdoor unit size was more or less the same with 2.0HP

anyway, i presume ME aircon are made in thailand?

2HP with 2 fan (plan to add one more fan later on) should be sufficient i guess
living room aircon will be turned on when having guests come over (5 hours+- max), and maybe 2-4 hours on really hot evening
i plan to use fan only whenever possible


so on average, how much is your monthly bill? and how many units of electric you used on average?

i see, your fridge also ME? or panasonic?
i plan to get a 5-star rated ME fridge as well

i guess my usage would be master bedroom 11PM-6AM daily
another bedroom will be empty, only occupied when my sister is around, or when having guest overnight, should be 8PM-morning occasionally
my living room is connected to dining area and kitchen, so i will install the bigger HP aircon as you recommended or see what the shop's/installer's suggestion on the installation location

i do understand about the 25C+auto setting condition, it's written on most inverter aircon brochure

i see, so inverter aircon need to have specific A/C point?
or just normal A/C point?

outdoor unit as in?
means have to pull wire from indoor box to outside for outdoor unit?

i see, so i can ask my electrician to preinstall the wire first and then the aircon installer just plug it in?
or it had to done by the aircon installer?

i see, so i will just ask the electrician to help me do normal A/C point
and the shop's aircon installer to do the indoor <-> outdoor wiring
any idea how much do they charge for the wiring job?

thank you

sorry for noob question

i got 2 rooms need to install aircon, one masterbed room about 12ft++ x 11ft++ x height not sure, 1 adult, window didnt exposed to sun all day, 1HP is sufficient? or i need to go for 1.5HP?

another room is 9.5ft++ x 7ft++ x height not sure, facing west, sunlight come in from window on afternoon until evening, will be insulated with curtain and tint film, 1 adult. 1HP is enough, right?

ME inverter vs york inverter, overall ME is better?

thanks, hopefully can get good price for ME aircon from the shop

kimsim you mentioned before 1HP is sufficient for a 12++ft x 13++ft, about 15 square metre, so does Energy Star aircon BTU

ME 1HP inverter has about 8.8k BTU, which can cold up 300sqft of space according to the site, i believe it's more than enough for the room
ME 1.5HP inverter has nearly 11k, which i think it's overpower for the room, right?

thanks, i saw it's 8871 Btu for 1HP model
maybe the tauke scare 1HP underpower then i go back complaint

i saw my uncle's house using 1 big evaporative air cooler in the living room, way colder than aircon
too bad my apartment dont have space for it, otherwise no need install aircon

anyway, your A/C point is standalone point or shared with other thing like water heater point/switch and light/fan switches?
because the tauke recommend me to separate it, while my contractor said no problem to combine together

noted, will double check with the contractor for the C32 thing

so all the water from different blowers go into a joint, then to toilet?
i plan to direct the water from master bedroom and living room into bathroom as well
this is the least visible method?


anyway, i picked ME inverter 1.5HP for my master bedroom
what's the distance between your 2.5HP condenser and your living room blower?
having headache for my living room blower position

i see, your indoor piping is concealed in wall or plaster ceiling?

looks good
the wall plug there is for what purpose?


would be easier in my case to put all wiring/piping go thought master bedroom to ourside
if that's the case, must make plaster ceiling, but might make the room looks 'shorter' in terms of height as the room is 9ft tall

means it act as aircon point?

both work well
but i guess conceal would be easier
cut the wall, slot the pipes in, then patch it back, all done in one go

will take the cornice idea into consideration

same thing with this?


or need to have this switch + wall plug?
