It is not you to care. Your next generation and your kids.

Hi Guys,

Need your all recommendation on the air conditioning.

1. Bedroom Size = 19ft X 20 ft = 380 sft
2. Usage Pattern = 1 Hour (730pm - 830pm)
= 2~3 hours (10pm - 1am)
= 2 Hours (Additional Usage/Day)

My priority are cost saving & durability of the aircond itself.

Appreciate if you guys could help give recommendation on brand/model.

Thanks

your usage is not high, just get basic unit will do - daikin/pana/sharp/hitachi

Appreciate your thoughts between having Advanced I-Plasma and basic model (without Advanced I-Plasma) ?


I'm looking at Daikin EcoKing non-inverter.

Hi guys,

I am planning to buy air conds for my new house. Any brands to intro? Heard many people talk about Daikin, any ideas?

lol...exactly...i even have unknown brand that has been running for last 19 yrs!

I dont understand the notion of aircon doesnt last

Buy the cheapest Daikin or Panasonic model with the correct HP for your application. It's good enough.

Master room of a normal terrace house, 1.0 or 1.5 guys?

Just a quick survey.

I'm looking for 2 hp air-cond for my living room. Between buying branded basic non-inverter model air-cond like Daikin/Pana and premium inverter model air-cond brand from China say Haier/Midea/Hisense, Both with SAME PRICE. RM2k~

Which one is better? Branded/basic non inverter or Non-branded/premium inverter? SAME PRICE!

Please give your comments!! Really need it.

hi guys

what is the advantages of ceiling type aircond vs the wall type?

i live in condo, i plan to put the aircond above entrance door(for easy maintenance) to cool down my living room which is 15ft from the door. i assume the ceiling type can reach further

The main point is the cost..

The newer inverter aircons run a lot lower costs and you gain the ROI (returns on Investment) within the number of running hours as compared to a conventional aircon..

So if you are paying the monthly bill it makes sense to have a cheaper running unit.. like an owner or tenant who's paying the monthly electricity bill..

On the other hand if you are the landlord or the developer you will buy a cheaper initial cost unit..

As previously worked out an inverter can get back its cost difference within 2 to 3 years of its run time and saves you money then after compared to the non-inverter..

Ceiling type can reach wider area only if you put in the middle. If you put at a corner or at the end, you lose the advantage.

My Daikin inverter aircon FTKD 2hp died recently (cannot turn on, only fan mode works) and the repairman said that the electronics/pcb died and fixing it would not be worth it. I can't remember exactly the reasons given but one of them he said was that the model was out of production and it would be more expensive to get parts.

So I need recommendations in the 1.5hp-2hp range. Even when it was working correctly, the cooling power for the FTKD Daikin was quite mediocre for a 2hp aircon.
I'm looking at Panasonic inverter models (premium/elite) and want info on durability/cost savings etc.


Update after calling Daikin support - The support guy asked for the error codes (there were about 5) and he said that the electronics probably needed to be changed for about 1k+.

no understand
when turn on
we no turn on the fan mode ?

None of the aircon functions (cool, dehumidify, etc) work, only the fan option works.

Edited for the reading impaired:-
Daikin model FTKD Aircon doesn't turn on. Only fan blower works.

If your compressor is fine, just change the blower, second hand only cost around RM500 ++

Nothing is wrong with the blower. The aircon does not turn on EXCEPT for the blower.

blower = indoor unit.

Only the fan/blower mode works. Nothing else works.

I see...but earlier statement still stand, you could just change the indoor unit, that if you want to jimat $$$
