Thanks very much for the reply.

You mentioned about the outdoor unit needing cleaning. Is it similar to the indoor unit (i.e. got the removable filter that can take out and wash)?
One other thing, is it 'okay' for gas pressure to give out after 3 years?

I just realised I made a spectacular error. 

1) Recalculated size of the room is 255 sqft (this is after taking out the wardrobe which is approximately 36 sqft).
2) Window is 10 ft x 4 ft. 2 sets of window - one is 10ft x 4ft facing west, one is 8ft x 4ft facing south
3) 3 Doors (Main, Balcony, Bathroom)

EDIT: ANOTHER SPECTACULAR ERROR!

EDIT 2: I didn't factor in for lights and the occasionally on laptop. Potential TV later on. As it stands, with my revised room size, my required BTU just jumped to 12,400 BTU.

Daytime is only during the weekends or holiday...Most of the time the AC is on timer (6pm - 5am).

Not too keen on an inverter tbh, the initial cost is too high and I can't justify it with a "savings over time" which I have no concrete figure. I'm just a cheapskate that find an extra 1k a bit hard to swallow

I've been reading around, it seems that there are some reviews (not many) saying that Daikin's blower isn't so good. There's even someone who consistently say that Daikin's inverter down right sucks, and the 2HP non-inverter is a big no-no.

Is Panasonic a better choice nowadays? Or is Daikin still a relevant player? Seems like when it comes to inverter technology, the general consensus says Panasonic is better.

Is this wrong?

PS: Which brand and model are you referring to btw? 14,000 BTU/hr @ 1.5 HP. Thanks!

My bad, over-exaggeration. It's about 50% more, approximately 600. I just rounded it up to the nearest thousand

I'm working on a max budget of 2k - the lesser the better. Spent quite a bit already on a water filter and air purifier so gotta cut back a bit on the ac.

Mind if I ask your room size and how long you've used your unit for? Also, which model yeah?

Thanks

Was comparing between the CS-S13RKH and the CS-PV12SKH specifically. RM 1,200 vs RM 1,800.

I was initially contemplating your exact unit there but it maxes out my budget. How has it been, using it for 2 years? How often did you need to service it?

Guys,

aircond installer quoted if include 20a switch, need to add RM60. is it really that expensive?

i looked at Lelong and saw some selling less than RM20. What the difference between 1 Gang 1 Way Flush Switches (RM18.50) and 1 Gang 2 Way Flush Switches (RM48)?

Thanks  . Anybody using this before ? Energy consumption ? Price ?

hmm...asked my technician about the brand, he said he recommend panasonic non-inverter rm1.3k ....
how much when u bought it with installation?
after did some searching thru google, for my case inverter/non-inverter doesn't matter much for me i guess since i just on for about 6-7 hr night time to sleep
my technician quoted RM1.3k for panasonic non-inverter series 

Is there anyone here using LG smart inverter 1.5?
I'm having issue to close the aircond properly, as picture below air deflector keep open although i already switch off the aircond. Is it normal?
