If using non inverter, capacitor failure sure will resulting to more current consumption. As the capacitor is a storage bank for the initial start up of the outdoor unit. Happen to mine last time.
When it trying to kick start the outdoor unit, it will draw the most current and because of the capacitor can't store enough energy, it will keep on energizing until the unit starts. For 2 weeks run because of this, my bill was rm10 higher.
When talking about air cond's efficiency, everything comes in to play, buying rm18 of DIY air cond cleaner will do wonders most of the time.

I know the price are cheaper, but just not worth the hassle.
And some still thinks that when servicing air cond, rm120-150(for 1.5HP), the job scope only includes cleaning the indoor unit, outdoor unit different charges

Well, that's why my replace cost only rm120, even I know that fellow slaughter me.
The fact that you are trying to mislead is, capacitor won't die direct, it will store lesser charge over the time.
Funny that a so-called air cond man will try to cheat on this
Yup, agree with you on this, and I'm sure good technician category does not include you.
See, the cheater has spoken.
Standard 1HP cleaning is rm120-150 which includes disconnect the indoor unit to do chemical cleaning, replacing the gas and cleaning the outdoor unit(this a bit tricky part as some may not clean it if it is not that dirty, my service man will give discount when he don't clean the outdoor unit)

remove the aircond.
rm150

reinstall 150

so is rm 300

u got 2 unit, u can bargain 1st

Hello everybody,

I just did aircond service which includes:
Chemical wash on both in/outdoor unit
Gas top up
Outdoor unit capacitor replacement

It is a mitsubishi SRK09CH 1hp unit
Been using it for almost 7yrs and it is a good air cond until recently the cylinder fan seemed to blow out a lil like unstable air flow. The blower sounds like it was blowing strong wind but i found the air blown hardly reached over 2m.

The last time i ordered the cleaning servicing was like 3years ago. I think the cleaning gap is ok because i always keep the unit clean regularly and the room is always clean.

The technician was puzzled as to why the air flow wasnt good even after the thorough cleaning process. I watched every step of it. The cooling coil is cold but the prob lies with the weak air blow. The cylinder fan seemed spinning normal. Speed changed accordingly to speed settings but not sure if it  was a borderline case of fan motor failure

So what i did was changing the blower capacitor but nothing change.

And the last thing i did was replace the fan motor but still nothing change.

Still the air blown hardly reach 2m.
Compressor and cooling coil ok.
Indoor fan blower capacitor replaced.
Fan motor replaced.

What else did i miss?

Tq

Yes, i noticed those clips.
In fact i have 2 clips placed side by side on the very right.
Now how do i recalibrate the balance. Do i just try and error?

I seem to have problems with Panasonic lately.

Guys, need help. My aircond living room brand Electrolux never do service maintenance after few years.

Even after I clean the filter, the cold is not it used to be. Do I need to add some gas? Or what?

Can recommend any technian? Subang Jaya area.

Hi everyone, my wall mount york 2.5hp indoor unit leaking water badly. Outdoor unit still ok. Do I need to change the indoor unit only (where to buy) or is it possible to repair the leaking problem?

please help recommend. i have a 460 sq feet studio apartment that gets morning sun. currently i have an old 2hp LG aircon which has to be replaced.
1. can i buy a 1.5hp ac for that space?
2. ac service guy recommended i buy Daikin Eco King. is that a good reliable model? if no, what is the best?
3. if buy from lazada, does the price include installation, or is just for the unit?

So this is the design fault? Which mean even if I change a new indoor unit it may happen again....?

Dear all sifus, do i need to the pipe if i wnt to re-install my old air cond? prev i removed it as I do my house renov.. so now want to re-install it back.. so shoudl i re-do the pipe or can use back the old pipe? thanks

weng-aircon

want to get your opinion
just services my aircon like a month ago + gas toup(r22)
compressor seems working fine
the indoor coil seems cold enough when i touch it
in current hot weather...
you can see the the small water drop instantly when i open the cover
but yet the indoor unit still not much blowing cold air

I heard cassette aircond has high tendency of water dripping on the ceiling. Is it true?

Hi All,

Budget: RM 1000-1100
Room Size: 350sq with high ceiling
Requirement: fast cooling effect

Can sifus suggest the model for the air con which meets my requirement?

Thanks

I plan to install an aircond in the living room... how to block the cool air from entering my kitchen?... it's an entrance without door to the kitchen.

Can i just hang a curtain? or built a sliding door.

plan to get a second hand aircond for a small room. 1hp should be enough but not sure what is the price-range i should look for
around RM500 can get?
