Make sure the outdoor copper pipes and copper cables are properly seal, inside and outside. If water go into the copper pipe, it can drip out through the indoor pipe.

boss, buy using credit term or by partly installment lah....

not nice like that eh!

Today, this post made my day ..

Look for other ways to conceal it. Fake airconds is by far a lousy idea in my opinion.

any other opinion? been thinking about it too. used aircond most likely bit yellowish.doesnt look nice

I got two option now:
i) some one from this forum suggest to repaint the blower. Will do mine soon.
or
ii) yesterday I called aircond installer, he also provide used aircond. According to him, the expensive part is the compressor. Blower is about rm200 for a brand new.

My 2 cents advice. I been into such situation before, after renovation i got 6 conceal a/c piping but cash really limited. Finally I decide to buy 1 Panasonic inverter for my master bedroom, one York 2HP for my living room, and remaining i take a chance to try Sharp non inverter because is the cheapest with some "brand" name on it. Buying sharp save me almost 1k.

If cash really limited, just leave the pipes expose for maybe 1 to 2 years, i don't think is really ugly, just a matter of getting used to. Putting dummy or deco may cost few hundred buck and eventually you going to remove it when you have budget for a real a/c.

What I did was, I cut all the piping, patch the wall flat. Then, later when I needed additional aircond, I just install the indoor units on the wall I wish, the outdoor unit I can place it to where I wanted. The installation charges inclusive of drilling holes anyway, just paid extra for piping and patching, more flexibility for me.

Not a good method, after you cut the copper, it maybe too short and hard to solder back. The pipe need to have some gab to rejoin.

he mean re-do entirely. repiping as well. this method only reasonable if later installation is back to back basis.

Cover it with clock or art piece, LOL.

cannot. the pipe not short.about 6inch or longer

Then design an elephant type of clock/paint, the 6inch long may be painted as elephant nose...

Depended on craftmanship, it can be nice looking and creative as well.

PS: pop up this idea from caryon shin-chan...

I think make a small wall hang cabinet would not be a bad idea though, something like this..



1 small cabinet on each side might be akward, so maybe make up some arragement pattern out of it

Just get a cheap Korean ac.
