Yes I am, they installer is supposed to come in on thursday so I have tomorrow to purchase. Any idea on price/meter?
I just saw they sell by 20m I stand corrected. Can I get a custom size? Just spoke to my installer and he said he is using standard 0.6mm for my non inverter aircond. Will that be sufficient?

hi, is it really required to switch off the wall switch?

i think most people just use the remote nowadays.

just wondering.

also from your list it seems Hitachi & Daikin allows longer pipe runs. was thinking a 1.5hp aircon but will al 2.0hp be better if the pipe is long? vertical wise not an issue most ceiling not even 5 meters.

hi, thanks for the links.

regarding the stand, do you have the diameter of the stainless steel to be used so i have an idea whether they are providing a stand tough enough to support the compressor under weather.

also i believe those bolts on thingy is also important so how many & how thick am i looking at (also painted stainless steel?) the surface, is just original exterior wall not sure the material.

nowadays what is the recommended gas type to use? like which one more cost efficient in terms of balance between efficiency & cost. and side question, do we take into same consideration when purchasing a fridge (and any special requirements for inverter fridge)? R22 is phased out and only recylced R22 available & it's similar to R410 but less global warming potential? R410 is widely available but expensive, and need thicker piping? Are current non-inverter AC still using CFC, and if yes is CFC still easily available?

and silly question do brand new AC comes with gas pre-filled?

and i read a post #18 here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2347419/all,
says:"make sure that you know what is the initial amount of refrigerant (before 1st start up), so that you can put a weighing machine below the tong to ensure the real amount of refrigerant goes in." erm how do we figure out the initial amount?

hi, can elaborate more on R32? does it require bigger & thicker pipe than R410a, or somewhere between R22 & R410a?

so nowadas even non-inverters uses R410a?

hi, so meaning even if the AC is non-inverter, if it uses r410a gas, the piping will need to be spec for r410a inverter AC?

that means any modern homes with built in pipe should be r410a spec?

since you say no way can tell if existing pipe is brass or not as they are painted (both inside & outside)?

sorry i mean brass. so all ac old or new all use brass copper, the difference is whether the diameter & thickness meets the requirement?

so the pipe follows gas used whether inverter or non-inverter right?

Thanks buddy, got the ones I need from a friend who is renovating his place. Sorted  your a life savior

Is it normal for my Panasonic ac (econavy, inverter with iauto x) turns on 1 hour before the timer set for it to turn on ( set timer on 7pm, turn on and off at 6pm) for a few seconds and then turns off
This is the ac model
[attachmentid=9237783]

The timer is for it to be on for bedtime to make sure that the room is cold, will turn it off the next morning

Dear sifu,

I'm wondering, which brand should I buy:

1. YORK 1.5HP Inverter Air Conditioner YWM5J13AAS-W/YSL5J13AAS = RM 1,343.00 (Shopee)
2. TOSHIBA Inverter Aircond 1.5HP RAS-H13BKCV-M = RM 1,399.00 (Shopee)
3. Panasonic 1.5hp Premium Inverter + Econavi + Nanoe-G Air Conditioner CS/CUS13TKH = RM 1,675.00 (11street)

Which one is the best in terms of nationwide warranty, maintenance (spare part etc) and energy consumption?

I do prefer the York model due to new model is really attractive (LED DISPLAY TEMPERATURE) which is so nice for me.

But some shop (I went there juz to ask for their advice before making online purchase) said that Toshiba/Panasonic is much better than York brand..    York new model (inverter) easily got broken and spare part is hard to find & quite expensive..is it true?

Panasonic got the highest price but higher price doesnt means best quality, am I right sifu?

Which brand do u prefer dear sifu?

//I do prefer purchasing online due to the best price offered. but first I have to get certain which brand should I buy..

Thanks dear sifu...  

Only if i have seen halcyon thread much more earlier, my a/C pipes, big and small are wrapped in one black insulation loosely, that's pretty common everywhere...

thanks.

unfortunately all are burried inside the wall and ceiling for 2 rooms

can probably redo for my 2hp room. Aircond vendor will know the insuflex right?

Thanks sifu halcyon...

Is it OK if I choose York Inverter instead? 

Thanks again sifu.......  

Wow, I've found something new..(as for me)

Fujiaire 1.5HP (R410A) Air Conditioner FW/FL15V9B5 Wall Mount Inverter (Diamond Stars Series) @WIFI

Hi, I'm using a few R410a York 1.0HP inverters (purchased 2 months ago) and it has gas leaking. We have been doing basic leak test (check bubble @ exterior pipe) & refill gas, after a week and the gas leaked at least 50%.

I'm scratching my head now as I've no clue what's wrong with it as there is no bubble @ the exterior pipe. Would it be leaking in the interior unit?

I wonder if I approach York, will they provide a more advanced testing?

Unfortunately, I'm in Melaka. I wonder what's the normal rate for the insulated piping for pipe leaking?

I think my contractor workers collide the compressor coil while doing renovation thus internal leaking.

Do I have to select York authorized installer? I have York & Daikin over here.

Thanks.

The existing contractor, when asked, he just say the normal layout out, 2 in one insulation is workable for invertor without issue.

K-flex
Insulflex

will ask around next time

Thanks, then I think I can only ask them to hack the one beside the wall, only add in one more hole.

For living room, compressor and FCU is located back to back, so very easy to reinstall the pipe. But since the space is big, I don't have any plan to upgrade into inverter AC, cause the AC will work harder but will never reach optimal temperature.
