Any review for Daikin FTKP?

Hi, this is the allocated area to fix my 2.5hp aircond. The height seems to be just nice.

Is it a MUST to open up the plaster ceiling above (gap) just to fix the AC? Can't fix as it is?

I'm exploring other options as cutting and re-patching the plaster ceiling is my last resort..

2 years later come rent my unit. Very rare rental unit got inverters. I wanted to own stay that unit… then change mind and rent out. That’s why got inverter for all 3 bedrooms. 2 Midea and 1 Haier.

Yes, I would recommend a 1.5hp inverter over a branded 1hp inverter any time of day. If you consider Japanese brands as “branded”, I tend to disagree with that thinking these days.

Choose big China brands that specialize in HVAC, Midea & Haier. These 2 companies are larger than Sharp many folds, Midea acquired Toshiba home appliances division. And Haier acquired Sanyo many years ago. These two giants made many HVAC acquisitions globally. And they are so big, have a lot of budget in R&D.

I’ve own Haier, Midea and Hisense. Haier entry level is very entry level — I won’t choose it. The basic inverter seems not bad. Hisense low end is very well made and punch above its weight — always my recommended basic cheapest entry level, I have 4 of these. Midea high end was quite disappointing for me, but this was from few years back.

I’d suggest taking a good look at Midea and Haier as they are both branded as far as HVAC go, especially Haier that started the business making AC before becoming the giant they are today in various appliances.

Between this 3, having owned all 3 brands, I will choose the cheapest inverter with longest warranty. And won’t worry about it. Despite my comments.. all 3 of them cool way better than any Panasonic I own.

If I win a Panasonic inverter in a lucky draw for my new house. I will sell the Panasonic to a sucker who thinks it is branded, and buy a Haier/Hisense/Acson inverter and install in my own room, and pocket the change.

Of course, Sharp is a solid choice if there’s limited space for compressor — which is also how I know because my friend hunted high and low for air con that fit and found Sharp.

I’m no expert but looking at your picture my answer is a solid yes. You want specialist, engage Acson authorized dealers to come install for you. I know they service third party AC. Not sure if they will install third party AC.

2.5 hp units are larger than 2hp and 1.5hp in all dimensions. Length, height and depth. Im not even sure if it’ll fit. You would need a very short unit in terms of height. Better you measure that space and find the AC indoor unit that fit. My Hisense 2.5hp confirm won’t fit that space

Wall split units need a bit of clearance on the top of it…

Guys for Sharp which supposedly covers up to 5 yrs on compressor, anyone knows the details of this coverage? My inverter compressor is not running at this moment and will call them tomorrow. Thanks

Standard warranty, 1+5 for outdoor

Do you know the coverage definition of compressor ie fan, electronic board, condenser?

In a set of an inverter outdoor unit there's this few items

1. Inverter PCB
2. ODU fan motor
3. Inverter compressor
4. EEV/Capillary tube
5. Thermistor

1, 2, 4, 5 mostly cover in 1 year warranty

3 cover 5 years warranty

No way your A/C will fit into that without modify your plaster ceiling.

hi, finally my mhi unit broke down after 10+yr. Flashing six times so should be pcb board gone.

My aircond guy recommend me take panasonic if wan inverter, but the cost is like more than half of the other china brand. He said panasonic inverter less problem and more spare parts.

But i am open to option:
Hisense 1.5HP R32 Inverter Air Conditioner (TU) HSE-AI13TUGS Senq rm1699

Panasonic X-Premium Inverter R32 1.5HP Air Conditioner CS-XU13ZKH-1 Rm3.2k
x-deluxe 1.5 inverter rm2299

Or any other brand can recommend

After encounter countless of problems with my Panasonic, I'll never recommend this brand anymore. Even the technician that came to fix the a/c also tell me not to buy Panasonic.

Single-story, master bedroom dimensions: 9 feet 7 inches x 14 feet 5 inches x 10 feet 8 inches. What is the optimum HP AC?

Okies.. can recommend me anything else? I see hisense inverter 1.5hp cheapest can get here. My fren keep recommend me panasonic for inverter, said easiest get spare parts if antthing broken.

Tcl brand ok ka?

Hehe, dun mean to say branded item no good, probably they breaks / spoilt easily, that's why their spare parts are easier to get

I saw AUX brand, they provide 3,4,5 years warranty.

3 years general warranty,
4 years PCB warranty,
5 years compressor warranty

Any AUX brand user here ? Mind to share your experience ?

Thx

My turn. Panasonic AC Xdeluxe inverter, 2 year and 3 month old, error code H11. Outside compressor not running
Have to get outside foreman as panasonic say out of warranty.........kena quote 450 for inside PCB, 650 for outside PCB................crazy price.......might as well get brand new

I thought the outdoor unit has a 5-year warranty?

PCB not covered, only compressor 5 years

At least got guides in jewtube, i can check tonight...
