Isn't that we are supposed to clean the original filter free of dust frequently so that the Aircon can have resistance free air low and save electric energy? Putting on an extra layer of filter is akin to adding a layer of dust to the filter, no ?

Thanks for replying.
Is Daikin 1.5hp inverter OK? Will it be noisy? haha

I heard they are ex-York. So the hardware and design are totally based on Daikin Japan or they just converted from York models they had before? 

When you put in the extra filter, it already block some figure of airflow. That is not include the dust fill up and block it later.

Dismantle the unit and wash the condenser doesn't require to fill the gas again.

I can't brain why ppl opt for dismantle condenser rather than add in extra filter.

I will avoid dismantle condenser and blowing fan if possible. I rather change my filter every month if i really worry about blockage. You actually can buy a filter and try look through it, a layer of filter isn't as restricted as you thought.

Dear all, I plan to install air-con for master room.
Is it advisable to place the compressor unit on open area which will expose to sun light and rain? If doing that, will this shorten the compressor life spam? As I don't have awing on my second floor. =(

Ozak, I planing to buy this aircon cleaning water container from taobao. Around RMB19 to RMB33. Then buy the cooling coil cleaner in spray can from Mr DIY to diy cleaning without taking the indoor unit down. If you want to tumpang and share the shipping cost, let me know. 

No problem, it will help to reduce the frequency of paid service for thorough cleaning.

You use extra filter no need to do thorough cleaning at all ?? The cooling coil totally shield from dust built up ??

I am interested in this item.
How much is it if 2 of us group together?
This is good for cleaning the blower.

I clean the cooling fins with water and a paint brush every month.
The dirty water will flow down the drain. No issue here.

I also clean the blower with water and brush, but the dirty water dripped onto the floor.
I used an old bath towel to catch the dirty water. Still got a lot of dirt drop onto the floor.
I don't clean the blower every month. Only when it is full of dirt and the air flow is low.

This item is a good replacement to the bath towel to catch the dirty water.

Let me know how much in total.

ok, thanks for the info ya, then is ok, cos my master room facing to east, means sun will be at back (west) during afternoon. =)
Expose to rain, no issue, right?

I bought 1.5k+ for that. However mine is premium model, is u put 1 step down to deluxe model, only 1.4k, which still feature richer than MEQ non-deluxe model.

OK, thanks Kim Sim.

I have another more headache issue need your advise, my house already have air-con wiring, PVC piping (conceal) & copper piping (conceal) during house renovation since last year, the copper piping that I have is for normal refrigerant (R22) NOT R410a.

Now I am going to buy the new air-con and came to know most of the manufacturer already used refrigerant R410a for the air-con, my question is, is there a conversion kit or adapter out there can be used for existing R22 piping? As impossible for me to hack and install the new piping again just for refrigerant  R410a.

Again there for your advise.

What is MIC? Malaysian Indian Congress? MIJ?

Bullshit la you...hahaha still dream of Made in Japan?

[attachmentid=4844328]

Don syiok sendiri la u...give me a prove the part is made in Japan.

Lazy to argue with you. I thought you got any true info, obviously listen from other also. As i said i did heard alot of story version regarding MHI vs MEQ, i believe none of that, not to say including yours.

Nevermind la, u go support ur MEQ la, for best quality la, made in Japan la...as long as you believe and happy. i continue with my MHI one.

Why u always refer SG ppl for quality method?? I really no idea on that. SG ppl high quality lifestyle, so what they choose is high quality as well? You adi many times, not only once, mentioned about SG ppl preference blah blah blah to convince ppl what SG ppl choice = quality choice so we Malaysian need to follow as well?

You also said before, SG MEQ is starmex, MY MEQ is Thailand, cut cost model, both are different quality, u are like slap you own face with your hand.

For me u are just like a MEQ promoter, u got commision one ah for so hard sell?

Hi Sifu,if compare your mhi deluxe inverter to samsung inverter AR09JVFSB which one will be more energy saving and durable?thanks
