If you know diy, yes. Or try to tighten the screws. Ensure all clips sit tightly.

The purpose of ac is to cool the place.

Extra features are great for those who think they can benefit for paying a higher price, inverter and non included.

If high or daily user, go for better or top brands.

Early this year bought a 2hp Pana non invertor for 2.5k.

1.7k for 2.5hp is cheap. Waiting for your review.

If you have a tight or limited space, I suggest to relocate the aircond. There is no guarantee that the plaster ceiling guy measurement is accurate.

Try to diy troubleshoot with different temp setting and buy a thermometer to place in the room. Apps result may not always be accurate.

If at 27C daily, using the fan gives better air circulation.

When there is low or no more gas it will either auto shut down or warning light appear depending on brands.

Replacing the unit is the better option because sometime after welding, it will still leak due to high pressure working condition.

How many years is the unit ?

Btw, where is the leak happening ? At the joints or somewhere inside the coil unit. If at joints, normally can be fixed.

For my guest room, I would use it occasionally to avoid lizards or insects to hide inside the unit. Also better for outside compressor as sometime small insects can build nest there.

Then have to replace.

If have storage space, keep the spoilt unit as spare parts if you are buying pana brand again. Normally I do that since all my ac are pana brand.

Few reasons ....

1. AC hp to room size ?

2. Room facing ?

3. Sensor problem ?

4. Lemon unit ?

Many factors to consider.

1. Correct hp to space ratio.
2. Duration of usage
3. Location of ac ..... room or open space like living hall
4. Maintenance
5. Unit direction facing
6. Number of occupants

Buy from shops with inhouse technicians. They can offer slightly cheaper package deal if you are good with nego. Buy other products from him if he also sells what you need.

Ten years ago, I bought my ac, water heater and fan (ceiling, wall and exhaust) from an authorised brand seller, installation from inhouse tech included.

Generally, higher hp will have higher electric bills.

If a room requires a 1hp, it should be good to just install a 1hp. In your case, if the room faces west, then having a 1.5hp will be better. It will cool the room faster, maybe in 2 hours instead of 4 or 5 hours. After 2 hours, the 1.5hp ac will use less energy to maintain the tempetature compare to the 1hp operating at max trying to reach its peak performance.

The longer or more one uses the ac, the more often he needs to service it. So time factor is not a correct service interval.

Always open the window and turn on the fan to let air circulation in the room b4 turning on the ac.

Wall colours also affect your mind. Try to paint soft colours like sea blue. Mind over matter effect.

Sometime, a small increase in energy bill is worth it to compensate for the comfort.

As long it doesnt restrict circulation of hot air. Common to see the compressor inside the balcony highrise.

And also common to see compressor below roof in landed

Depends if shifting complete set or just either indoor or outdoor unit.

Estimate ... 150 above with new wiring and copper piping between indoor and outdoor. New power point will have extra charge.

I shifted one outdoor unit early this year, new bracket, wiring and extend piping to new location ... 150.

Possible because concealing involved hacking and replastering which may cost another foreign worker wages to do it

Most buyers will forget about this after installation.

He can give it free to you but the labour and travelling he has to charge.

If you want help, you have to be specific in the request.

1. What certain reasons ?

The least you could do is to briefly desctibe your problems and some people here may have a solution. Better if attached a photo of the room layout.

2. What is the price you are willing to pay other than saying Daikin is damn expensive ?

3. You are buying a good that is not commonly in demand and price wont be cheap.

Generally, I wont oversized the AC in enclosed room unless necessary.

1. Open space concept.
2. Unit facing West
3. When a hp just ngam ngam the area
4. Using many heat generating appliances or equipments
5. More people psf in an area .... eg office

Is not wrong to oversized if you want to pampered yourself having a 'winter' feel. Similar is ok to use Ron 97 instead of 95.

I am just giving a different perspective.
