What is your main point to be buy Aircon?
Wanna cold down your room temperature right.

Power consumption wise from inverter input watt was : 800@ 2.6kw meant = 8870 btu for standard factory setting, but you can range from 1.1kw to 3.0kw meant you can set from adjust your temperature from minimum set at 27C to 22C in between grap of DC computer would tell the signal to range from low mid high compressor running speed, but you also can set as 25C for normal standard size on 3x3m there is cooling quite comfort already.

Inverter had built-in both side temperature measure to tell the PCB for increse / decrese outdoor compass or running in JET speed from daytime in hot weather.
Once going to night of the outdoor compressor & fan speed would reduce a lot of waste energy n heat an issue.

Why for the non inverter outdoor can hear noisy and the whinning/humming sound used within a year or 1 year plus.

Cause due to non-inverter Aircon still using AC compressor today and high input watt for fixed speed an never runs in low speed, but there only run in high speed for quicky cut down the room temperature to save cost.

Meant : for non-inverter really good to used in daytime of runing in same speed in the room and never cut off when the room temperature are reached.
Once in the night time there is can't adjusted of same comfort temperature and 26C above, you would realise there is works like on & off of whole unit suddenly stop run and feel like no current or backup and keep for 15mins ago to be start run again until next morning.

If you are the death sleep maybe never feel that thing happen, if you are the sensitive person, I think you would cry for this.

That is nothing to be compare from inverter or non inverter today,as you can pay for extra amount on inverter then go with it and you won't getting regret answer here.

Long run n comfort for sleep is your correct answer

2x 1 can be switch either one lah for more power saving.
2hp for one so far not much ppl would go for ME or just top up to 2.5Hp same as my video.

Me is the best model : http://www.kimrovacstore.com/mitsubishi-el...lean-video.html

Find out here

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.

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

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.

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
Cooling Capacity:
5.2kW/2HP

Main Features:
• Easy Clean
• Triple Plasma+
• i-see Sensor
• Nano-Platinum Filter
• 7&2 Years Warranty

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

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

Cooling wise for sure is better

There's no right or wrong on this.
I'll consider how long to use on it.
Requirement on it(to just cool the room down or freeze that room).
Then follow by maintenance cost.
And getting 2 lower HP air cond are more efficient than 1 higher HP type as you can "blow" from 2 sides.

Then just get 2 units instead of 1. Your house still empty and not yet do the renovation?

rm300 are way too much.

If you consider for 2.5hp ME inverter I guess you really pay for worth, you can see the product how huge to compare other brand from 2.5hp.

ME 2.5hp inverter got wide & long airflow and come with bigger blower + 890mm x 840 outdoor unit.

Dunno how fast to be in the short timing to reach up your temperature of setting.

The rest like 1.5hp anytime you can add up, if you wanna made your living hall & dinning area look more high standard to support more Aircon on anywhere ha ha



If you wanna compare from power consumption of the 2x1.5hp definitely is used more than 2.5hp for 1.8kw max, once is cold down the room would be turn to 0.6kw only for keep the same temperature to power saving.

ME 2.5hp inverter bigger size :

Then is quite ok for the price.
No doubt higher power HP are good for living hall, but I still prefer 2 units instead 1, as certain places won't be cooled down fast. Imagine during festival seasons when you got visitors, only the blower side people will sit there.
With 2 units, the cooling down will be faster and save more for your bill.

I have a 2HP Panasonic, near to blower side is very cold, even I set 26'C.
But on the side, it won't be cool down fast.
A 2HP set at 26'C does not same as 1HP's 26'C.

Well, in some sense I don't want to cool that part, I need the hall to be distributed the cooling.
So proper planning before renovation will be important. If your living hall and dining hall are same, consider 2 units.

Look at your layout plan, maybe you can consider to install 1.5x 2 or budget for 1.5hp on living and dinning area close to dry kitchen for 1hp.

From 1 to 1.5hp both area same cooper pipe size.
