This is the Mr Slim model? I like their features esp the long throw. Same, 25°C is the lowest I go but except when hosting a party.

Triangle inverter user here. Ok quite good and quiet. I prefer the older model that debut in 2013-2014. They have S-ion. The newer generation may not have.

You're right! My bad, I was confusing that with fan circulation mode. It was coolkwc's post that detailed how it should be done. I stand corrected.

GamersFamilia, correction note: COOL>FAN (Circulation mode)>OFF TIMER (2hrs)

Mould. Get AC guy to chemical wash and clear the drain of any algae too or gunk that has developed over time. AC must run in fan mode after use for 2 hours to dry the fins and blower to prevent mould build up.

Indoor unit. Teh ping effect on heat exchanger will collect dust and encourage mould growth over time.

Better to get AC maintenance guy to do it. There are complex electronics stuff in there. Are you in Klang Valley?

The most I would do is open the cover and see with my own eyes without touching anything except the prefilter and trace to the source from whence the smell emanate.

If never done before, don't sweat it. Get an AC maintenance guy to service and inspect.

Update: notes from the field.

Nice. The hole where piping emerges, actually there are sold on line accessories like ports similar to those on office table for wiring but sized to accommodate AC pipes. The concern here is to avoid having the hole big enough for unwanted creatures like birds, cats or rats to access the roof space.

Multi split unit aka multi split system 2/3/4. They have combo of all same HP or one of them higher e.g. 2x1HP + 1x2HP.

Daikin. Down across the straits, more common due to HDB AC ledge constraint. Also more choices like Toshiba, Fujitsu, LG, Panasonic, etc. Good insulation and piping important otherwise flooding can happen from condensation. One of the companies I keep hearing about is Coolserve. The rest can read the horror stories of what went wrong etc over there in their forums.

Sold in ME market where extreme outdoor temperature normally kills the compressor. It's rated for 65°C outdoor.

Other than that, the features is quite impressive with comfort sleep and indoor unit cleaning (mould prevention).

From the bottom pic, looks like a Premium X series. The video is demo-ing Freeze washing function. These AC has heating and cooling as with AC sold in four season clime.

I know. Just clarifying the spec with fixgd. This would be a parallel import as LG site here don't have it.

Normally this would be found in ME or India. I'm unsure if the spare parts are common esp anything meant for extreme conditions.

It's the other way round for me bro. My health improved with it. The smaller the fluctuation the better. It's not precise just minute in temp variation. The trick now is to keep at 28°C and 2 speed ceiling fan. The wind chill effect brings it down but the humidity is comfortable enough. We're only sleeping in shorts and shirt and without blanket. But if needed then it's a fleece blanket from Home Harmony.

In order to sleep with a non inverter, the temp swing plus minus must be beyond the discomfort level when temp rises after compressor cut off. The only choice for this is to set it below 23°C. My friends and older relatives does this and wonder why they cough and have dry skin and throat. Old mind set hard to change. The younger friends who are newly parents with kids I'm able to persuade for their baby's and young children sake and their experience bear out if they are willing to change to inverters. For adult and young children (except babies or toddlers), sleep wear is according to climate and weather: Shorts and singlet or tshirt. Blanket too: cotton fleece blanket or summer blanket or sarong. AC use minimal cool at highest humidity as comfortably can aided by ceiling fan to induce wind chill. Or dry mode. Drink lots of water.

Now in my circumstance, AC at this time of the year is not needed having moved back to condo and thank God for moving wind.

This is condo or landed?

Wow, that's quite long for landed. Normally those length expected only for condo due to common AC ledge zone to the other rooms.
If the AC is positioned above the window, it would not need to run so long esp for those in bedrooms with AC ledge. Any problems need not resort to hacking extensively. Unless of course compressors is co-located beside each other for easy reach and maintenance like a semi D. If so, maximum vertical height of the compressor can be an issue as highlighted here.

If really that long a piping, I recommend you get Inaba Denko Paircoil piping at minimum 0.8mm thickness spec-ed according to your AC pipe size. They are sold per box of 20m length. Perhaps get it yourself and ask them to requote just for labour in laying the pipes.

You may want to recalculate for each room the AC HP sizing to see if they're up to spec based on the factors affecting that room. Then from there quantify how many 1HP, 1.5HP etc required.

No such issue for me. I walk in and out from AC to without and hot cars and AC malls. The difference is knowing to consume water enough: (Body weight in kg x 44ml/kg) + 1000ml. The water makes the difference so the level of hydration in each person will determine whether he's able to adjust. Plain potable water filtered at home office or coconut juice and not any kind of water (tea, coffee, soft drinks, alcohol).

But the constant thing about getting old which I agree that may contribute to the sensitivity to temp change is that our body's sensitivity to thirst is reduced with age and markedly so over 50. That's a given. Compared to a baby or young children, the older we get, our sensitivity to thirst is such that we don't even know our body is dehydrated. Body temp regulation requires water also. So like exercise, replenishing the body by drinking water is something habitually developed. It doesn't come easily for some and it must be enforced intentionally by ourselves.

Call the regular AC maintenance guy to service. It's already one year and overdue.

Top hung track sliding folding partition door like this and this. That's what some friends ID I've seen use. It's run along the beam that divides the two spaces in the open flow area which is essentially one large room. What they tell me is most times they don't use but when needed they'll just pull it close.

They normally don't do that. What your looking for is a guy who knows how to read the schematics of the board and find out what part to repair? Isn't there a guy that does that in Pasar road in the ceiling fan thread? Can head over there to check.
