Just got my airconds cleaned.

Somehow they managed to spray all the dirty water onto my wall. My wall now has dirty water dripping marks and splash marks.

hi,
wanna ask.. any significant difference between a 4*star inverter and 5*star?
looking at their amperage usage, they're somewhat similar for equal comparison.

so, i believe amperage is not the only factor here, right?
*
4-star is usually the low-end model, if the price is not much of a difference, just get the one with a 5-star rating.

Trust me, 5-star inverter is so worth it, my A/C only consume around RM1.20/night, open for 10 hours, set at 24C.

Anyone still using the Daiso aircon filter now?

My Panasonic XPU just 2 months already can see the dust on the blower. So try to apply Daiso additional filter.
After apply, notice the aircon not that instant cool. Still cool, but not that powerful feel compare to without and take longer time.

Wonder any negative impact on the aircon for long term?

I'm using the same model too, weirdly the dust filter is clean, but blower is already full of dust after just 3 months.

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. bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif

Hi, this is the allocated area to fix my 2.5hp aircond. The height seems to be just nice.

Is it a MUST to open up the plaster ceiling above (gap) just to fix the AC? Can't fix as it is?

I'm exploring other options as cutting and re-patching the plaster ceiling is my last resort..
*
No way your A/C will fit into that without modify your plaster ceiling.

hi, finally my mhi unit broke down after 10+yr. Flashing six times so should be pcb board gone.

My aircond guy recommend me take panasonic if wan inverter, but the cost is like more than half of the other china brand. He said panasonic inverter less problem and more spare parts.

But i am open to option:
Hisense 1.5HP R32 Inverter Air Conditioner (TU) HSE-AI13TUGS Senq rm1699

Panasonic X-Premium Inverter R32 1.5HP Air Conditioner CS-XU13ZKH-1 Rm3.2k
x-deluxe 1.5 inverter rm2299

Or any other brand can recommend
*
After encounter countless of problems with my Panasonic, I'll never recommend this brand anymore. Even the technician that came to fix the a/c also tell me not to buy Panasonic.

Just installed new aircon today, Panasonic CS-KU12AKH 1.5HP Inverter. Replaced 13-yr old Midea non-inverter aircon. Bought from Lazada Pana Corner (Tong Seng, Klang.)

So far OK. First thing I noticed, remote control no backlight.

Hopefully yours will not have vibration noise issue.

And do take note that the blower will get dusty very fast, dunno why Panasonic filter is so shitty.

Hi Jason, saw your previous posts about the major CHina brands AC... Currently considering Haier or Hisense.

Been using panasonic both inverter and non-inverter in my current house, reliable so far but not impressed with the cooling performance. I have to set to 22 degree minimum. Was considering Acson or Daikin but both were really expensive.. And even Acson Reino / Daikin FTKF series I saw some other forumers say not great.

Planning to get Hisense of Haier mid range inverter which is either 4-5 stars rated. Is hisense still come with noisy compressor even for the mid or higher tier? Not sure which of the 2 brands to go with.
*
I have 2 units of Hisense inverter, the compressor is indeed noisy, some kind of bearing vibration noise.

hi all, noob question here.

I am planning to install plaster ceiling in my apartment, but I noticed most of the residents here have their plaster ceiling cut to accommodate the aircond like this. (sample picture only)

I do not like this & think it's an eye sore. FYI, the aircond is supplied & installed by the house developer.

Before I install the plaster ceiling, can I move the aircond lower so my plaster ceiling will be full instead?

Or moving the aircond lower will require to redo all piping & wiring? hence the reason most people do not do this (more hassle & high cost, etc).

You can, buy you definitely need to redo the piping, or install a drainage pump, is which even bigger eyesore.

What is the safe way to clean the compressor fin?

Can I just spray the compressor fin with a bottle pressure sprayer to wash away the dust?

replaced my daikin 1hp for my master bedroom to 1.5hp panasonic x-deluxe. Noticed that the new 1.5hp is not that cooling compared to the daikin 1 hp model. If I set to auto fan it will always blow at minimum level only unless i crank down to at least 22C. Even if I set the fan to full blast by 3-4am the room will be very stuffy and hot.. this is really weird.

another thing, i noticed the temperature sensor is inside a plastic tube. Is this normal or should I cut off the tip part? I'm wondering is it due to the sensor being in the tube causing the air con not cooling

It's normal, mine is exactly the same. My other room A/C(Hisense) I set to 24C, but for my Panasonic, I have to set it to 22C and the fan to medium.

Ask any A/C technicians and they will say Panasonic(inverter model) is famous for being not cold enough because they are very power saving.

On top of that, mine has this annoying vibration noise. Panasonic technicians came to my house 3 times and still unable to fix it. Now the warranty has ended and they told me to find my own technician to fix it.

Just want some feedback if anyone using Hisense aircond.
R32 Inverter Air Conditioner (TUGS)

Looking at AI13TUGS 1.5HP and AI20TUGS 2.0 HP
*
I have one in my small room, 1HP.

So far so good, the only complain I have is the compressor is a bit noise compare to my Panasonic, it has that metal bearing vibration noise, and Hisense told me it's normal.
