Just installed new aircon today, Panasonic CS-KU12AKH 1.5HP Inverter. Replaced 13-yr old Midea non-inverter aircon. Bought from Lazada Pana Corner (Tong Seng, Klang.)



So far OK. First thing I noticed, remote control no backlight.

Hi, anyone here using Mitsubishi Electric MSY-JS13VF inverter model?

Do you mind checking if you have this CN105 red port? It’s for wifi integration

Need to ask air cond sifus here...How thick should be the insulation piping for a 1.0 HP and 1.5 HP air conditioning unit ? Is 5/8 thickness sufficient ?

Hi sifus, Where can I buy outdoor mounting stand for my air conditioning unit ? I am looking for good quality that wont rust....

Hopefully yours will not have vibration noise issue.

And do take note that the blower will get dusty very fast, dunno why Panasonic filter is so shitty.

His is newer model KU series. It stated Anti-dust cross flow fan, not sure how good is that. It launch the same month when I purchase XPU. Hope improve on it.

Notice another symptom, power cutoff yesterday night, my Panasonic won't auto restore back when power back.

Sifus, got a question - currently using Daikin R32 split unit 1HP. Installer installed wrongly and just realised it's 1HP instead of 1.5HP. Can I just 1 to 1 replace the 1HP daikin AC with an equivalent 1.5HP/2HP daikin split unit? Or the pipes all also need to pull again? It's concealed within the walls already

Installer fault, just get him done at his cost.

Why u need install wifi device ?
Is this not at home able to control?
Before sleep 1 hour before turn on from remote and off before going to work?

I run homeassistant for home automation. Already bought that model and it does include that port and done set up it for wifi control.
Apparently it utilize Melcloud app which ME don’t really use here like daikin with their app and the dongle alone cost like +rm700 after conversion lol. Anyway you can just get a cheap esp8266 for rm8 and use that instead

Hey folks, anybody using Acson Avory Premium? Looks like a value for money flagship model. Can’t find any reviews on it though.

Acson have York + daikin DNA.
Should support local brands

WHY NO HEIGHT TO CHOOSE?

if you have not installed surge SPD in the DB box to protect against lightning power surge do look to do it.

lightning surges into the house can kill electronic easily.
some areas have more lightning than normal. and there is surge of about 15kV into house even if lightning is a few km away.

Will a surge protector like this be useful? I bought this recently for my new AC.

https://www.belkin.com/my/p/home-series-1-o...9H110vsaCW.html

yes... for 1HP AC is ok. it will work until the protect light goes off.
the protection power is low about 360 joules . next time get 1 with higher joules.


there are cheaper around .

and if its your own house then better to instal a surge SPD type 2 to protect the whole house.
you can get good ones from 50 rm to 100 .

Anyone can comment about this AUX brand from China? Most of the aircond dealer giving good reviews for this brand. 1.0HP, 10k btu and Inverter priced at rm860 really attractive pricing. Just the outlook Abit boxy to me other than that all seems to be ok.

Please do not simply buy any SPD online from oversea if you don't know what you're doing. Get it from local seller instead as they are selling the type that are suitable for use in Msia residential use. We are using TT earthing for residential that may not have low enough resistance for L-PE SPD built-in thermal protection to even work (CT1 & full mode SPD). That's why we can only use those L-N SPD (CT2). You'll see L & PE pole on top & N at bottom of the SPD. And always use a dedicated MCB with switched neutral (2P for single phase & 4P for 3 phase) for the SPD so that you can safely disconnect it when needed. Do not simply rely on the main MCB/MCCB or the built-in thermal protection.

If you electricity supply had frequent brownout (voltage drop & light flickering) , then I strongly recommend using SPD as overvoltage surges will also happen way way more than frequent than lightning could be.

yes we use TT system . and some good essential guide .
the N at the bottom of the SPD is not a fact . It depends on the spd manufacturer design .

some manufacturer and even local brand/ sellers you cant even find spec data , and most never mention TT .
if you cannot find the spec data on the advert I will say dont buy .
and i feel many sellers are selling fakes .

and i think i have not seen a SIRIM approved SPD on shopee etc...

i did check hager MY site and they do have all the relevant data .
its a jungle out there !
