Planing to buy 1.5 from Shopee to replace existing Aircon. Should I get the installation from Shopee too, is it good enough, any experience being install by Shopee stores compared to physical store?
Sorry if dumb question...

non-inverter aircon is really not comfortable for sleeping. on and off constantly...

lol cause don’t know how inverter works mah.
My room calculation only need 1.5hp

I buy 2hp inverter
Air con guy say “cold die you!”

Well I am still alive and very comfortable. If I listen to him I hot die already.

But yes Panasonic is rubbish don’t buy.

For those on small budget, Midea inverter is cheap compared to daikin or Mitsubishi.

Depends the weather conditions and rooms size and temperature you set and how cold you can tolerate, also like some /k members mentioned room insulation play a important role too, example 2hp is like we often see those guy travel to colder season first time all show kuatx2 no need jacket later on all sneezing

example if your room set air conditioner 24c non inverter and inverter but your room not properly insulation rooms temperature left side 25.5c right side 26.5c basically 1.5hp air conditioner will keep compressor running full speed inverter or non inverter

But raining season room temperature very easy reaching desired temperature 24c for non inverter do create stop/start cycle can create noise pollution for inverter won't have this issues because is reduce the motor speed at specific speed and maintain the temperature i don't know how much power usage is reduce when the motor speed is half because mostly happened at night and i have no device to measure either

2hp indeed do faster cooling down the room with inverter at night you won't over cold or hearing start/stop cycle noise pollution, so still depends the location you install i mean each room have their own hotspot, height and depends the temperature you set but i often see people set 27c If you can only tolerate 27c might as well just install 1.5hp+ceiling fan I'm pretty sure you won't be able hear the compressor start stop cycle from 1.5hp non inverter , but if in Small room really 2hp can cold die you can constantly hearing start/stop cycle from non inverter

I can sleep under 24c without issues i also seen indeed have people can tolerate and sleep comfortably under 18c , 18c to me just too cold

I'm not certified air-conditioned guy , professor or anything I'm just a normal guy like diy stuff , i guess depends room size, proper insulation or not, how cold you can tolerate, do you kisah about the electricity saving by how much , some even ask me install solar panels 😂 😂

That’s me. I’m cheap. Hisense basic 1hp non inverter. Cold AF.

I have a mix of inverters and non inverters for different spaces and use cases. Guest room use few times a year no need inverter. Likewise for living room open space also I don’t need it.

Depending on how many total AC in the house. Buying basic AC and saving the funds and invest in solar is better long term. But for own bedroom sleeping I always advocate “overpowered” inverter for comfort. And buy a cheap Bluetooth logging thermometer with humidity level will help in understanding how to best set your own AC schedule. My AC always timer off at 4am when ambient temp drop to its lowest.

Anybody bought Panasonic Airconds recently?  I purchased four Airconds last year April when move into my house and all of them were very bad condition(noisy) after few months.

Claim once for motherboard 1.5hp inverter and now 1.0hp inverter error code.. then there is one 1.0 non inverter blower sound like old car engine damn noisy.

So disappointed with Panasonic brand…

Wondering whether noisy flap and motor entitled for warranty claim? Gonna ring them up soon

Was thinking Pana or Daikin are no brainer for airconds. Seemed like I was wrong....

Hi there. I see you're a huge advocate for inverter airconds. I've a double volume space that is 19 feet high and as open plans go, I have combined by living, dining, kitchen area into one stretch. It's 90 feet in length and 21 feet in width so bringing my total area to 1890 sqft or 35,910 cubic feet of space.

We also have a 12 foot fan that will be installed in the middle of the space for circulation of air between the spaces.

We're lowering the AC to be installed at the 10 feet height of course, not planning to bother with cooling up top.

We're planning 6-8 wall units for the space, as we enjoy keeping the house temperature to a max of 20c, 55% humidity. We're aware that we're living in the wrong country for this temperate needs, but otherwise Malaysia is such a great country.

Would an application like this still justify a inverter, seeing that it only starts to reduce its power consumption when it hits the set temperature? And I highly doubt I'll be able to get 20c in a space this large.

Ultimately this entire endeavour will be decided by my site engineers, but I'd like to understand your personal thoughts for the application of inverter units in a space like this.

Would you recommend it still?

Any responses would be much appreciated.

my landlord installed a r32 non-inverter aircon in the study room. 

Nope

1.5hp “needed”
I install 2hp inverter

One key difference is the 2hp will reach my desired temp faster.

A 200hp car and a 100hp car, both can do 100km/h speed. The 200hp car will get to 100km/h first. Unless it’s a Panasonic. Then it’ll get there last.

And with inverter, the compressor can slow down to maintain the temperature I want. so no such thing as overpower.

I truly, genuinely hate my Panasonic. I set I-autoX mode at 16C,my temperature sensor reads temp as 26.4C for the last 20 minutes. Basically Panasonic just take my command as a suggestion and it think I want to save electricity. Sadly I paid too much for this Panasonic inverter and I don’t have desire to spend money to change it.

Sure. The yellow line is the area that is internal that needs to be cooled. The ceiling is 11 feet in that area

The green area is 22 feet ceiling.

Our engineers submitted their proposal which involves a mix of inverter and non-inverter AC but I'm keen to see other thoughts & justifications

Their suggestion is to stick with the Daikins as they have a good relationship with them after having transacted millions of dollars with them.

Hey thank you for that.
That's a very different layout and suggestion from our engineers.

Do you have any justification for this?

And I'm assuming this is the BTU suggestion yes?

Cool mode is even slower than I auto X to cool down.
There’s no power mode on Panasonic air con, unlike the old Panas.

Basically there’s no mode on Panasonic to give me what I want - max cooling. You’re saying the temp is set by manufacturer, then why bother giving a remote and temp setting. Give on and off enough lah.

I don’t know about you. If I buy an air con, I want it to function at the settings I determine.

Hi i want to ask for opinion.

I have a Mitsubishi 1.5HP inverter that has been serving me 10 years problem free. Yesterday it broke down not cooling anymore.

And i asked 2 technicians and they both said my pcb board is broken already and advise to just buy a new unit.

The reason given is that the parts is hard to find, expensive and take times on delivery.

What you guys say?

But honestly it a money  well spent

Malaysia don't have this StarMax model.. I'm using the standard JS inverter model, very bulky I don't know why still call as Mr. Slim

hi guys, i've recently gotten keys to my condo and i've tried calculating the correct BTU needed for my unit, a little lost with the calculation and would appreciate some help from the sifus here.

my entire unit is about 1k sqft. ceiling height is at about 9.7ft.



here's the layout, really hope some of you guys might be able to chip in your ideas on the required BTU or aircond unit to get.

planning to get a 2.0hp to cool the the living + dining area

1.0hp for the rest of the rooms except master will be inverter.
