My developer provide 7 aircond points (wiring, sink pipe, copper piping). I cant afford to put airconds to all the points. But I cant bear to let the points exposed just like that.. too ugly. So I am thinking of putting dummy aircond so it looks nice.. brows.gif

The aircond that cant be repaired means can be antique edi i think. Too old until no more parts . So no point getting as the purpose is to make the house look nicer .

just ask ur contractor on options to hide / cover that up, normally they can trim it and patch it up.

It may not a good idea.
As it may cause hassle to connect if it is too short.
There is reason, why extra length left at there for most conceal piping.

A simple boxy wooden or plastic decorative item of cover may do the job easily, depended on one creativity then, instead need a dummy air-cond. sweat.gif
I only hear people install dummy cctv, never hear people install dummy air-cond. sweat.gif

last resort will try to work on the simple box covering. but will look weird for boxes to be hanging around the walls. need to be creative. but my pursue for dummy aircond will still continue....

I have seen dummy cctv, dummy alarm siren, dummy wooden beams. Dummy aircond seems doesn't exist yet.

instead of dummy aircond, why not put some pretty deco?

like can hang a bird cage or lantern?

I personally think dummy aircond is a lousy idea to conceal it =.="
