Hi all, newbie never used aircond at home b4.
any possible issue/disadvantage if i buy online and find installer myself?
like claiming warranty or more expensive installation?
Thanks
online pros: cheaper, more choices
cons: delivery charge or self pickup, warranty direct lias with manufacturer.
installation generally standard whether you use shop contractors or find outside contractors.
to find outside contractors just go to aircon shop (not those selling aircon but those repair/install). price is standard and starts with 10ft copper. usually around rm200-250.
just make sure you have everything (copper pipe +insulator/wires/power switch/brackets/drain pipes) included. if you don't have AC before, chances are the installer gonna tap power from existing 13A socket, which is not a good choice. best is run dedicated 4mm2 wires from DB using 20A MCB to a 20A switch. but that would add more cost. and for inverter AC you need 4 wires from indoor blower to compressor.
also request the wires not to be wrapped together with copper pipe inside insulator. this may cause condensation in the wires and problems.
