you do this way before?

I worried they will not install cause only charge onstall fees or charge expensive fees

Not sure if I'm just pure bad luck or Panasonic is really bad.

My Panasonic X-Deluxe Inverter is so problematic.

In just 14 months, Panasonic technicians already came to my house 6 times to fix various problem, gas leak, faulty sensor, faulty blower etc. Thank god all this is covered by warranty.

Now my warranty has ended, suddenly there is a loud vibration coming from the left side of my indoor unit.     

Hi, am looking for recommendations for AC brand and model. Usage is for residential meant for homestay/airbnb, my requirements:

- Low problems, easy maintenance & cleaning by AC service men
- Easily available parts in event of needing repair
- Inverter model
- Preferably with app to monitor monthly usage
- A Range of 1hp - 2.5hp models for different spaces in the house

What brands of AC or model is considered reliable and trusted by AC industry these days?

I went with Panasonic. Been serving me great so far for 3 years.

Mitsubishi Electric aircon is not bad too.
More expensive than Panasonic and some have easy cleaning feature.

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

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

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

This is my aircond list. The living, dining, kitchen, are all connected as seen in the floor plan. It's about 12.3 meters in length and 6.7m in width so about 82.4 sqm or a hair under 900 sqft.



The orange circles are where we intend to put them. We can't put them on the shortest beams because we've got light fixtures on the beams. It's inefficient but I hope, still effective enough.

The dining, living, will run in 8 hour intervals except when we're sleeping in which we'll turn them off. The kitchen ac will be turned on to assist if it gets too warm as that's the most powerful one.

We've an earth tube that's placed 1 meter underground and rigged it  through an ERV + a whole house dehumidifier to move air from the outside and hopefully by the time it's chucked into the house, it's cooled down and drier.

The plan is to keep the house at or below 24c and humidity around +-55% at all times.

My question is, based on the conditions built, is this a realistic expectation from my ac? I'm going under the assumption of 20 btu per square feet which assumes I'll need 18,000 btu. I'm getting the 22,500 btu and 30,000 btu ac's to account for the insane heat Malaysia's been smacked with.

Our ac compressors are also underneath the eaves to avoid being in the sun and we've got plants flanking the compressor to hopefully cool the area.

Also, we're getting daikin and mitsubishi because everyone keeps repeating that these two are the best, and also the worst. So we figured we'll just get both and try.

Hey man, how do you tell the temperature is more constant?

For context, wherever I go, I always keep it at 18c, and I run it at full speed. I have never been able to tell when it's an inverter or not an inverter AC.

inverter will have the compressor run at lower power to keep the temperature set while non-inverter once reach the set temperature and compressor will stop immediately and once room temperature goes up beyond the set temperature it runs at full speed to reach the set temperature again... and this cycle will continue...
so u can imagine, u will feel the 'change' in temperature inside the room all the time, and ur aircon will be noisy when it runs at full speed for fans...
obviously u did not know aircon by setting ur aircon to 18c.
25/24 degree celcius should be the most comfortable temperature for most ppl to sleep at nite... and it is easier to reach the set temperature given the outdoor temperature at night. 25 degree for my mitsubishi non-inverter aircon it takes about 20 minutes to reach while on at nite... 24 degree will need at least another 10 more minutes.. anything lower than 23 degree will take even longer, and the time taken is not proportional normally... as the set temperature is further away from outdoor current temperature it takes longer to cool down to that set temperature and worst case scenario is that it will never reach becos the set temperature is way too low... typical aircon that has the BTU matches the room size can never hit 18 degree so the compressor will be running at max speed and consumes the max electricity as possible..

so it is totally silly to set the temp at 18 degree...

1 hour just to cool down ur master bedroom??

it means ur aircon BTU is not sufficient for ur room size...

Thinking of getting daikin revo max inverter ceiling aircon. Anybody has experience or review, any issues? Is it much better than the FCFC model?
Besides daikin any recommendations other brand/model ceiling cassette aircon? Thanks

Curious why selection is towards ceiling cassette. High cooling requirement/large area?

Anyway, comparison between the difference of each Daikin split unit cassette series:

FCFC (standard inverter cassette unit)
-Commonly found in shoplots/restaurants that you go to in MY

FCF (similar to FCFC series, more focused towards cool air distribution)
-Individual 4 way air control
-Daikin sensing with a caveat that it requires wired remote controller and sensing panel to be purchased (IR sensor module to focus cold air at areas with occupancy)

Revo max (mainly focused for aesthetic and indoor air quality)
-Aesthetic design
-Daikin streamer tech
-Active plasma ion
-PM2.5 filter

Price in increasing order:
FCFC Series-> REVO Max -> FCF Series

Energy Efficiency:
FCF > FCFC = REVO Max

You can consider other usual AC brands like Mitsu, Pana, York, Midea, Haier similar in spec to the FCFC and FCF series but I think Daikin is the only one that has cassettes designed for aesthetic purposes. Other sifus do correct me if I am wrong.

Not sure regarding reliability, warranty and spare parts availability so I won't comment on that.

Cheers
