Update on my bad experience with Daikin.

I bought 2 units of Daikin R32 Inverter 1HP FTKC at same time around year 2017 for different rooms.

On June 2020, 1 of this unit show error U2 and the outdoor Inverter PCB was replaced.

Fast forward to current Aug 2020, another unit encounter the same problem. This outdoor unit is fully hidden away from sun and rain.

Currently planning the take out the board for repair at Ingress, a PCB repair company instead of paying 600 plus for board and labor.

*-:': Daikin and ✓×π^{ Inverter.

My house is a landed terrace house and indeed encountered power trip during heavy lightning all these while.

So far no other electrical failure. I do not have power surge protection.

So far I practiced switching off the power switch for air con without removing the plug when Aircon is not in use.

I'm looking for a new aircon for my room, and is about 10.5x8 ft, replacing the old, non-working York unit.  I'm considering this one:

Any good ones around this price? 

how much aircon service in KL roughly? (per aircond)

How is Sharp's aircond quality?

Seems like the majority here prefers either Panasonic or Daikin.

Saw the comments in this FB post on restricted availability of Midea parts after warranty. Not sure how true is the statement. If this is true, then it will be a worry for Midea buyers over long term

Fot those intending to purchase Panasonic airconditioners, you can ask the authorised dealers on extended warranty. It extends the warranty of both indoor and outdoor (standard 1 year warranty) + (extended warranty of up to 4 years) so total 5 years. You can choose the number of years you want to extend.

My XU24VKH cost me RM580 for 4 year extension per unit.

Bear in mind you can still extend as long as you are not 14days over the date of the purchase date.

need help guys, installer and air con seller cant give me a good answer, my new haier is just not cold enough. split unit and compressor distance is about 40ft

It is brand new. Gas all ok. If too far away. Can add any gadjet to improve? Or need better insulation for the pipe?

Any sifu here can fix this issue. I dont mind to pay

he came back to check gas, no problem. may b haier lousy, recommended by installer . . .

Comparing 1hp ac here,

i read the spec sheets that non-inverter ac runs at 800w, so it means that it’s either 800w or 0w, as non-inverter ac is on/off to regulate the temp being set, right?

right  .  but not to 0 w as  blower  fan may still be running



Then, inverter ac is with variable wattage of 860 (200 - 1,050), the 200w means for temp like 27- 28?

yes.../no

when start  it will run at max  for max cooling  1050
when temp reach 27  it will slow down 


If we on the ac at this highest possible temp, then it will just consume the lowest possible wattage? So, need to on for 8hrs for the inverter ac advantage to kick in is a myth?

hi sifu.
I had all my air con duct concealed.
I believe it was all for non-inverter air con (subsales house).
May I know can i use those for inverter air con?
looking for sharp air con, but only inverter version has the plasmacluster.

any sifu here selling and install? need 2 unit.

i extended my master bedroom. guess now it is around 16 x 20, do i need a 1.5hp air con? or 1hp still work?

thanks.

so we can say that in order for inverter ac to achieve the set temp, it firstly has to use high watts (as high as like a non-inverter one), then only it maintains at lower watts

instead of using consistently  lower watts to achieve set temp at a longer time

i see, thanks for sharing

if that’s the case, unless the ac is on for minimum 2hrs every day, otherwise better get a non-inverter one?

I see

for basic non-inverter ac, I was comparing daikin p series, to panasonic ones, pana ones seem to be better (in term of EER)

to achieve semilar performance with pana, daikin one has to buy its a-series, which is RM250-300 more expensive

I was thinking to get pana, but most saying pana quality has dropped a lot in recent years, due to its heavy cost cutting

what's your opinion?

hi, thanks for the tips.

i have no idea how old is that air con duct.
but currently "National" brand air con is installed there.
how old this brand can be?

meaning i can't use inverter with that old tube?
