York belongs to Hitachi now

hmm...asked my technician about the brand, he said he recommend panasonic non-inverter rm1.3k ....


how much when u bought it with installation?


after did some searching thru google, for my case inverter/non-inverter doesn't matter much for me i guess since i just on for about 6-7 hr night time to sleep
my technician quoted RM1.3k for panasonic non-inverter series

Bought from electric shop at Taman Melawati

Daikin inverter
1hp + installation = RM1430
2hp + installation = RM2950

6 - 7 hours?
that's long time.
i switch on from around 9 pm to 3 am.
the inverter unit paid for itself already after 1 year of usage.
better to get inverter in this case.

These are the Ecoking models?

Wow, they change hands. Thanks for informing. Hmmm...Is it correct, Hitachi? Seems like Johnson Controls bought them over.

SOrry for not being clear...JC did buy over Hitachi Air Conditioning division, hence the management now is from JC. But as for technology and manufacturing they are inheriting Hitachi's tech and stopping York's productions.

For now, depending on location (demographic of sales volume) some product would carry the name York, and some Hitachi, but both are the same.

Thks for explaining. Does that make York better productwise?

No Ecoking refers to their non-inverter model. Mine were all inverter

any review on Toshiba aircond?
planning to get one.

I have 2 Yorks at home, and that was before the merger, it had been working well last 4 yrs now.

I do my own cleaning 4months once.

As for after merger, from the info I have, Hitachi has one of the advance technology in AC, JC team was impressed, hence they maintained it rather than scrapping, and shutdown York; York marketing had been better than Hitachi; hence maintain the name York and incorporate Hitachi tech into York.

Thks for enlightening bro. :thumbsup

Sharp Plasmacluster with Inverter? AEON promotion until when?

No indication. Jintex selling 1199 for 2015 model.

The weekend just going to neighbourhood electrical shop for aircond, looking for Sharp, not recommended by seller who recommended Haier, for 10 yrs compressor warranty and 3 yrs internal unit warranty. He also said that York is also manufactured by Haier. The BTU among 1.5hp aircon also Haier is highest.

Wifey insist on Panasonic ... So back to square one. any comments?

Sounds like commission incentive bias.

I've used Sharp almost 7 years. They don't give any trouble but the benefit with inverters (consistent temperature) and Plasmacluster (healthy purified air), clean mode, gentle cool (blow towards ceiling), 2 step low wattage mode, good sleep mode (used this for kids) outweighs the other costs. The newer models since 2015 provides 0.5°C step and long throw (14m) even for a 1hp.

This is the goto AC for anyone with elderly parents / grandparents / kids/ infants(& nursing mother's) owing to their gentle cool feature ie blowing air ceiling wards which they already have been doing since 2009 way before Panasonic Sky series entered the market. Also, they happen to be the cheaper inverter to buy amongst the rest.

Just like any other AC, so long as the below are done, they hardly give trouble:
1. piping and drain installation is correct and leakage free
2. insulation is completely isolated to one sleeve/jacket per pipe e.g. Inaba Denko (JP) or Smartco (KR) Paircoil
3. maintenance is done proportionate to usage

Outdoor compressor will require the regular cleaning depending on how dirty it gets just as any other compressors, even more so after a haze as fine dust and acidic soot will settle on the fins.

For four years of usage in the old landed, the Sharp plasmacluster inverter blower hardly need needs cleaning as the Plasmacluster ions keeps the cooling fins and drain mould free. After every use, I turn on clean mode. Bear in mind that this is not the same as having a Sharp non Plasmacluster AC with clean mode and combining it with a external Plasmacluster or ionizer. That doesn't even comes close to what cleaning with Plasmacluster built-in which the AC will direct it towards the fins and drain. Best investment for an AC ever.

hi..can i know how much i should expect for the servicing my aircond at home?.

mitsubishi inverter.
1hp.
bought mid 2015.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone has a good air-con installer to recommend for Bandar Baru Sentul area?

- To install 2 unit of 1HP air-con in bedrooms for new condo
- Developer has already provided concealed air-con piping and connection points.

Thank you

Hi,

I'll be moving in to a 500-600sq ft top floor apartment soon and am planning to get 2.0HP Inverter probably.My question here is which is preferable :

- 1 x 2.0HP
- 2 x 1.0HP

The reason is there a semi partition in the middle that separates the living area from the sleeping area.
Thank you.
