Can consider Panasonic also. With installation rm2200
Quiet outdoor unit.

Pana and ME is the brand you should look in to
For living hall, 2HP non inverter panasonic will do.
As for bed rooms, good to get inverter.
Key point is, time of use everyday for each will decide. > 5 hours a day go for inverter.

You are looking for trouble

Daikin = York now, so sure will be the same
Phasing out R22 or older gas type is the trend now, happy or not we also have to accept it.
This is to comply with EU laws on protecting the environment. Like why now we only have LED compare to few years back we had plasma, LCD? Because they can't pass the low power consumption test. A 50" LCD now only consume about 1++W of power. From old design of using class AB amp in a TV, now they are using class D amp.
So, if you not yet buy air cond, is good to venture to R410 gas. If buy already that still using old gas, no issue also, since after factory phase out air conds with R22, factories that producing R22 will still online for couple of years. I assume it will take another 10-15 years, good enough for our current air cond dies

When installing, some gas tends to leaks out, but they will charge it back the line. So no need to worry much.
You will lost the gas fast if whack till the max all the time.
Also, you need to clean the filters every month, this can prolong the service duration. If you don't clean the filters regularly, average time to do the service will be 1 year. If cleaning the filters regularly, it may be 2 years once.
Mine already clocked 2 years and 2 months without service

Just make sure you pay for what you get
Installation will be deal by them.
Not cold, complaint.

You can follow his advise.
But later I hope won't read in the news that some people's house got burn down because of wiring issue.

Already fall down just admit it
Wire have many grades, from single core to multi core, from aluminum to copper.

Get 2HP, may consume more power but cut out faster.
If the usage are <4 hours a day, just normal will do, don't waste money on inverter since when the room is warm, both inverter or non inverter will draw more power to cool down the room

Question : how does the electricity bill being calculated?

In Homedec, you need to help them to pay the rental.

There is the place for window shop. If nothing, I won't go there also.

Just for the sake of myth busting, for the past 6 months, average I'm 20 days in home, 10 days not at home. 2HP air cond turned on for 1-2 hours daily while 1.5HP for my room turned on for 3-4 hours daily, not using water heater, have a warmer that used to boil water and turn off daily.
Air conds are non inverter.
So average using about 10 units a day, 3 person at home. Will be at rm70-80 if everyday at home.
Will an inverter fanboy show his electric bill that his bill are kept at low? I doubt so.

Said already 3 person, wife and son.
You can't save electricity bill is because you never teach them. You can't use "I got kids, that's why cannot save" as excuse.

Is it? But my bill when still have no kid are higher than now.

Never buy Korean brands, unless you wan the wall vibration feature or your ears got problem.

Indeed it is freaking noisy, when compare to my newly bought Kingston SSD, if this can makes you happy

Depends how you want to compare.
If you are comparing a Japanese brand to a Korean brand, getting the most pariah Japanese brand also can perform better than Korean brand's most expensive model.
Getting any electric appliance is, you don't it to have down time. If a brand that provide 1 year warranty but last you for 10 years and never fail on you and a brand that giving you 10 years warranty but sure will fail after 1-2 years and noisy, which 1 you want?

Yup, those 3 brands are Japanese, get either 1 of them will be good. Korean brand just forget about it, don't waste your time on time, unless your ears got hearing issue, then I strongly suggest getting Samseng will be a good option.
And Mitsubishi you be getting MHI, not ME.

Don't listen to those fellows bullshitting which gas are better.
More important is, are you using the right size of air cond for you room, this is something you need to consider.
