Hi.. Need some help from all of u guys. I want to buy air cond for my living room size 24x18 feet, facing sunlight and accommodate 5 peoples.

Been quoted hisense 2hp inverter 2.1k with installation. Other japanase or korean brand add rm300-400.

I prefer air cond that has swing function horizontal and vertical and also the best in cooling performance.

So, what is recomended hp or btu for my place and what model might suit my criteria. Tq

hi, just to ask, if already lay piping(gas and pvc) for 2HP setup. Can we put 1HP or 1.5HP aircond ?

hey im planning to buy air conds for my bedrooms and living room

Room 1 - 130 feet area with 13 feet high wall
Room 2 - 100 feet area with 13 feet high wall
Living room - 300 feet area with 13 feet high wall

both room have 2*4 windows.

is it adequate to buy 1hp daikin inverter for the rooms, or should i increase it to 1.5hp?

for the living room, which would be a better choice?
2 units of 1.5hp inverter or
1 unit of 2.5hp inverter or
1 unit of 3.0hp inveter.

panasonic 1.5 premium inverted vs daikin infinity inverted which is your preference?

I had a chat with a support tech for my problem with electronics failure (see my posts on the previous page) and he suggested getting a non-inverter instead. After some searching online it seems like inverter air cons have a higher failure rate because of insects/geckos shorting out the electronics.

which is why basic one is the best choice..

Isn't the probability of insect / geckos shorting same with inverter and non-inverter?
I mean the enclosure to protect the PCB board design should be similiar and is not dependant on whether it is inverter or non-inverter.

yeah, same here..

Aircond almost 10yrs now.

12mth x 10yrs = 120mth.

Bill save every month RM100x40% = RM40/mth (put it at RM30 or 30%)

120mth x RM30 = RM3600.

Enough for me to

1) buy new panasonic inverter air con now for RM2688
2) Left RM912 for future service.

do we actually need to 'top up' gas oftenly?

spoke to an aircond technician last time...they say actually we dont need to top up the gas, can use it for very long time
not sure it's true onot oso

air cond refrigerant is close loop
there's no need to "top up" gas.
top up gas is technician way of earning extra pocket money from you.
If it leaks...everything will be gone...not 10%, 20%

The inverter design will be more complicated, will have extra sensitive power electronics making it more prone to damage from insects crawling inside. But the more recent inverter models at least for some if not all brands I hear have made some changes to be more reliable however.

Hi all
Recently i was quoted by 1 aircond installer with the following pricing

standard installation with 10 feet copper piping etc: Rm230
Additional copper/feet: RM18, and it require additional 30 feet
water pump for water disposal: RM250

it ended up to be Rm1,080++ after tax to install 1 AC, which is more expansive than the AC itself. Make sense?

by the way this is apartment, and the additional is because we need to put the compressor at the designated area. Anyone face the same issue before, and how you address it?

anyone know the difference between panasonic models:

CS-S18TKH vs CS-S18SKH

TKH is the newer model. SKH is the previous model.

I have non inverter air con in my guest room, usually not used or at most once or twice a year. Is it advisable to switch the aircon on once a month or no need at all?

in my house using york aircon , so far ok ..
why not you try to use this brand ..if we buy any new brands then if later spoilt or what very difficult to find the shops to repair ..better go for the brands which is popular everywhere and easy to get ...

cool. thanks for the information bro.

For Any electronic items, its not advisable to keep it stored and not used.

Yeah, do turn it on one in a while. Also note that the remote compartment, battery as well, at time, if its not used, then there might be some leaking as well.
