Start giving me "tak tak tak" sounds after 7 months using it even the swing i fix it static and no move (looks like the sound doesn't come from the swing).
anyone with this model got this problem?

I don't know how to take off the panasonic split unit or compressor unit.
So i use chemical to wash 3 areas with plastic cover at bottom:
1. Aluminium mesh (spray on the mesh)
2. The split unit fans (spray from bottom towards the fans)
3. Compressor mesh (spray on the mesh)

My wife did feel that it helps a lot.
1. Faster to cold down the room
2. Cooler
3. Stronger wind (previously too much of dust block the split unit fans)

Temporary i do that 3 steps above until end of the year i only ask professional people to service the aircon.
For that outdoor compressor unit, do you guys think it is OK if i spray water on the mesh without turning ON the fans, do you think it will spoil the fans or the compressor unit??

Hardware shop can buy.

Both also same level? or one ground floor one first floor?

The panasonic aircon price already up almost 15-20% compare to last year.
ur price exclude installation?

I just bought:
2.0HP panasonic CS-S18PKH = RM2960
1.0HP panasonic CS-PC9QKH = RM1050

Both include installation. from HLK.

HLK taipan.
Everyone went in also buy aircon nowadays.
too hot already.
But difficult to schedule to install aircon, very peak now.

Seriously i don't think 1HP is enuff.
10ft x 10ft room u need at least 1.0 HP.
So ur one about 20feet x 15 feet. it is so big you know.

My room is 18 feet x 10 feet, i am using 1.5HP inverter and i regret.
Tomorrow i am changing to 2.0 HP inverter.

Yalor.
my wife summore suggest 1.0 HP at first place.
Installer just came switching the 1.5HP inverter to backroom for my mum, then install 2.0HP inverter.
Then install another non-inverter 1.0HP at another backroom (less usage).

next month bill then...

The price is OK for 1.0HP inverter, but you never service before in 7 years?!?!?
Probably considered cheap liao at this hot moment.

my house is single phase.

Living room = 2.5HP inverter
Master bed room = 2.0HP inverter
Backroom 1 = 1.5HP inverter
backroom 2 = 1.0 HP non-inverter

Do you think is OK still if i install 2.0HP at first floor living room and 1.0HP at ground room?

Will burn or not the db box?

Har? Dun scare me, that day the aircon installer summore ON all 1.5HP + 2.0HP + 2.5HP + 1.0 HP (Total 7 HP) all together...

u means u ON all aircon in less than 1 minute (ON living room one then go up stair on all rooms one etc)?
Or u ON 1 aircon, after 10mins then u ON second one... then eventually all RUN together for 1.5 hour after 1 hour u switch ON all of them?

Sounds like can tahan 8 HP + 2 storage heater.

If possible try to get econavi feature,
I noticed that the econavi help me save lot of money on my tnb bill.
it will auto adjust the temperature celcius when no ppl inside the room (eg: u on aircon but u went to kitchen or bathroom for a while), and as well as when you are sleeping (no movement).

17x10 ft room i ON the 2.0HP inverter aircon 11PM->7AM 25C speed 3/5, only use up to 4KW of electricity for this period (include other stuff like 600L inverter fridge, 24/7 water boiler, autogate / alarm system / 3 cctv and about 40W lighting.

Yes. Econavi still can adjust the split unit fan speed and swing top and bottom also can adjust.
the only thg you can't adjust is the left-right swing. The econavi will adjust temperature +2 automatically based on situation.

1.5HP at least.

My room is about 17ft x 10 ft.
and my wife keep insist me installed 1.0HP inverter.
And the end we argue and decide 1.5HP inverter, it is underpower and we use more electricity.
Now i change it to 2.0HP.. use slightly less electricity.

If no one inside the room it won't be too cold.
Must has some object or movement.

Ya.
If nobody at room i think it will increase temperature by 2c.
if there is human inside but no movement. it will increase temperate by 1c.
