Harvey Norman selling rm1599 Mitsubishi inverter 1HP incl installation, is this ok?
And I found in forum, member selling Daikin for inverter 1HP but using R22 at RM 1400 also incl installation.
Is Daikin inverter using R401 better?
And is the above price ok?

I am also sourcing for Daikin inverter air-con. This brand is not popular in Malaysia, but in Singapore, they are valued brand.

thanks a lot. that's what I planned. However, still concern waste the flow since aircon facing only 3m flow whereas MHI flow can do 15m airflow. The bed is not like that in middle, I plan to sleep facing door liao to save space

Facing door is incorrect lah, later you have more dream than you sleep well

Cause bad FS

Done get 1hp just go with 1.5hp at least, even Gree also do well.

6m oops is long, just seriously

Normally how they gorek the lobang for piping etc? How big a hole do they need to make? Will it be a big mess with dust everywhere?

They use a drill machine to hack off the walls, for sure is everywhere dust & flying dust too.

Now having a bit of trouble, after I installed awning in my backyard. I realized there is nowhere for technicians to carry down the outdoor unit for servicing in the future. Unless they go all the way to the backyard path. Is it possible to do a general cleaning and service without taking the unit down?

A disappointing and frustrated day.

Today the contractor come my house to install my ME aircond, suppose i should be very happy on that, however is a nightmare for me.

My house aircond copper was concealed one, is a 0.6mm thickness pipe that suitable for RA410 gas. However due to not long enuf, they have to extend the copper pipe by welding on the existing pipe.

One thing they really surprise me was how they test the concealed pipe whether block or not is by blow the tube using their mouth I really not confident for the method they used, i suppose they are better way to test it. So they continue to weld the pipe and install in door and out door unit. After they welded and bend the pipe, they not even test it again. So, i have nothing to say but 'trust' them.

Upon finished installation, turn ON the aircond, i felt very weird, the coldness is not what i expected, is just slightly colder than ambient despite they set 16'C on 1st run, so they told me run it for 1 hour only turn OFF. They check the aircond (both in door and out door) is running then they just finished the job and go back. After they back, roughly 15 minutes, i still not feel the coldness that suppose to be. I sense something wrong there, so i check the outdoor unit, i saw the fan turn OFF itself after 2-3 minutes run. When the fan is running, i check the air blow out is not hot at all, is just at ambient temp, so i suspect the compressor is not working at all.

I called back that contractor immediately, they promised settle for me by today. After 2 hours they came back and check for me. They said the copper pipe is OK (I dun know how they check without dismantle anything), then wiring OK. They check the compressor gas pressure and everything, can't find the root cause. Then they called to their boss, their boss just order them 'remotely'. That time adi 7:30pm, i adi cooked my meal so i just have dinner with my wife in the dinning room, after i go out to see again. WTF, they open up my outdoor unit and i saw they spray water into the unit. I ask them what problem, they said the compressor motor is too hot so it cut off itself, the gas inside is low, and due to compressor cut off, they can't pump in the gas, so they spray water to cool down, hopefully can pump in the gas when the compressor start running. I really speechless at that moment. They are just electrician, not ME service man, and they are not open the unit with proper procedure, out of 4 screw on the grill panel, they just open 2 of them and pry off the casing at one end to check, it made a big dent on the casing and grill, really heart breaking.

The outcome is they have no idea how to fix it, and said it need to wait for ME to check, if is not ME fault, they will only check the piping again.

I'm really angry with them now, no matter the unit got problem or not, i won't accept that outdoor unit anymore, instead i will ask for a replacement for that. Now the aircond is installed but i can't use, how frustrated for that.

Anyway, the good news is, the aircond total price is 1.9k, and i only paid RM100 for deposit only. If they really don't want to replace a new unit for me, I WILL NOT PAY THE REST TO THEM.

Have a good horse, but the horse can't run at all... For me deffinelty I was kill them.

hello guys,
20ft x 20 ft - 1.5hp
20ft x 25 ft - 2.0hp

do u guys think there are sufficient horse power?
i intend to install ME.

thank you

Actually Daikin GA inverter 2hp very sufficient too

That day I when to my customer house and do demo robot vacuum to them, they installed 2hp Daikin inverter can cover around that size of 20x25ft.

mHI is cheaper than gree.

6m oops what do you mean? 60cm width? even ME got 80cm width indoor

This post has been edited by leonhart88: Jun 8 2015, 10:22 PM

im not interested to purchase Daikin since it is york now.
My areas are living hall 20x25and kitchen 20x20.
i intend to purchase ME deluxe non- inverter.
Do you think a good choices to get 2.0 and 1.5 ME?
thank you so much

Using mouth to blow are the normal work they do. Because they have the sensor(if blocked, it can't blow through).
But after extending the pipe with welding but never blow again are wrong.

The contractor dun have exprience at all.

Can be use gas to blow in the copper before they lock the nuts

my contractor didnt blow after welded the pipe..i donno need to blow also ...anyway , ntg wrong with my aircon so far after 1-2months...

Just ban those unqualified contractors.Dont give business to them. Reveal their name and contacts here.

too many ... all tipu makan ...

Yup, you are right on this, blow job are not a must
But usually some will do such blow job as to confirm no rework if have problems.
That's why I don't really like conceal piping as far as possible.

You won't know until you get cheated.
That's why if you are renovating your house, always prepare the hole for piping/wiring first.
Then install 1 air cond to test market, if ok then only install others.
But since you want people to reveal the name, in Seremban, always avoid buying appliance from Thye Hin Sermban and installer Kah Air cond.

kimsim, better to have outdoor below/above the indoor?

That is depend the condition

1. Like bungalow type can place anywhere as you like.
2. Apartment only at Aircon leadge
3. Terrace house only front or back
4. Contractor wanna save copper pipe then just place side by side will do.
5. In M'sia really unsafe cause everyone can steal the outdoor unit as well

heard from someone. to better cooling better put outdoor unit location below the indoor. outdoor very heavy also steal? just grill it la. why aircon made in thailand better than others?

can ask Aircon man too.

Thailand more cheapest than direct Japan or Korean
Cause salary was low

China got thier brand too.. Also setup in China for shipping cost higher than Thailand too

1 sentence more than thousand words.

I buy things based on price, who the hell they sub the job we won't know unless we tried.

But again, I STILL HAVE RM1.8K YET TO PAY, see who patient enough lo. I willing to pay 100 deposit for know how bad was that.

This post has been edited by coolkwc: Jun 9 2015, 02:11 PM

100 rm you also got cheated. how about people buy at lazada pay upfront?

Too sad the majority technician quality in Malaysia really suck, really really suck. Technician in other country need at least diploma for that, but here, those with low education/with every subjects gred F can be declared as 'electrician'. Sorry if anyone here got offended.

The boss that i speak through phone is nice manner, everything OK. But their workers are just pure teenage bastard.

Put the outdoor unit at floor and sit on top of that without my permission, even when i'm around they saw nothing.
During installation, only 2 out of 4 is work for that, but i can see they have no experience at all. That just half play half work, not serious at all.

From my point of view, those guys are just a teenage that can't study well and been kicked out of further education kind of ppl. No knowledge, but come to install stuff that need high technical knowledge, when problem happen, they only know dismantle this and that to rework/recheck. Sei sohigh, i don think those guys will have any bright future.

Is a shop or resaller failed

I previously have bought my TV and washer from the same shop, that's why i bought the aircond from them this time.

But obviously the contractor for aircond is different from last time (i dun think TV and washer need contractor/electrician for that), and this one is pure bastard.

Nowadays weather hotter than b4, that is why have many unprofessional come in town to do sub-Con and engaged cheap was learning stage to serve you guy.

In JB have lot of fully Aircon shop seldom got it happen, especially Eletronic shop will do it such thing

Yesterday that guy told me compressor got run, but cut off due to too hot, and the gas level inside is low.

For the ppl that got some sense on aircond system will know this either due to compressor run out of gas (due to piping leakage) or the piping is bend and dented so the pressure is too high due to restricted flow. Unless i really fucking unlucky to get a lemon unit which i believe the chance is low. That's why i almost 100% confirm something is wrong in during installation, and the most suspicious one is the piping.

I asked him piping ok or not, he said: I check adi no leak no bend...WTF, how do you know there is no leak without leak test..i really speechless.

This post has been edited by coolkwc: Jun 9 2015, 03:12 PM

Inverter model or gas R410a would be higher pressure just slighly lose a gap can be leak after few hours.

Choose a good workmanship is not easy btw.
Some like act pro and also expansive charge per unit too

Last time I also got cheated on this(from Tyhe Hin), the price of the 1.5HP air cond I bought was rm150 cheaper than others and I paid rm500 deposit for 4 air conds.
On the day I want to make full payment, they only tell me that installation are not included and it is rm180 for 1.5HP which is rm50 more expensive after installation cost than other shops
Not to mention the installer damaged the air cond's steel pipe. Now each time I service the air cond, the installer need to weld it back

Get another AC installer do a pressure leak test. Normally use nitrogen and then seal up both ends without AC. Take reading and another 2 weeks later to determine if there's a leak. Are you in Klang Valley?

Update for my ME aircond.

Just now ME service man checked my aircond. The conclusion they made was during copper pipe welding, the solder was went inside the pipe, eventually clogged the compressor and valve. They release all the gas inside and refill it, and said the gas is 'choking' inside. They said will order compressor motor and valve inside to replace, and the indoor unit cooling coil need to flush as well. They also asked me to reinstall the new copper pipe without welding. So i went to the shop that I purchased.

The boss is very kind (Maybe my face is very angry), he kept apologize to me for introduce such contractor, he said he had a meeting with the contractor boss yesterday, and they adi dismissed those guys who install my aircond that day. He also promised the contractor boss will come himself to install for me. Then i told him the checking result by ME, and i said i can't accept repair, he promised to change a whole new set (both indoor and outdoor) for me. So let's see what happen next. Luckily i din pay them full amount that day, else i'm not sure whether they still willing to bother me or not.

Look at your case like easily case to solve... Anyone still saying ME after sales service may suck?

hello guys

how much if i want to relocate my AC to a new house. one unit 1.5hp and one unit 1hp. brand ME and MHI. i was quoted for RM780 includes relocation and service work. is it ok?

Wah MHI so cheap ah..

Relocation fee la

Oops very confuse

Good to know. Something new. This means the solder clogged compressor and valve. The ideal method of piping is compression joints like those use in Thailand.

today the ME service man told me i still can turn ON my aircond, but won't be at its peak performance. So just now when i back home i turn ON the aircond, the air is not as cold as expected, but still better than nil...after 10 minutes, you know what, WATER START TO DRIP OUT FROM MY INDOOR UNIT AND WET MY FLOOR.

Awesome bastard, YOU ARE NOT GETTING EVEN A SINGLE ITEM INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

Should start sharing who is the bastard... so other people don't fall victim...

And I think we should also list down good air con man...and share.. we need to keep the good ones in business.

bought a daikin 1.5hp inverter FTK15P (R410A) - P Serial without installation at RM1400. Is the price ok? How much to expect for installation?

Am also looking for another unit of 1hp inverter. Any reasonably priced ones to recommend?

This post has been edited by jason1986: Jun 12 2015, 08:31 PM

1.5hp installation about 250 .... 1hp inverter around 1200..sharp inverter plasmacluster.... 1400 for 1.5hp inverter is very cheap ....I bought my 1.5hp sharp inverter plasmacluster at RM1499 , on March 2015

There are several air con threads. Best to ask moderator to merge them.

i getting 1hp / 1.5hp/ 2hp all pana inverter recently so far still ok touch wood.

going to next phase now , either getting pana again or daikin ...really want to try other brand but contractor said..better dont..(maybe not much commission ) hahahah

Bedroom or non bedroom? Bedroom try Sharp plasma cluster inverter. The fourth generation inverter much improved. Using first gen in old DSH for kids room and blow air ceiling wards. Cool cocoon at 28° with 1-2 speed fan produces windchill like 26-27° yet at comfortable humidity.

What's the price of the pana inverter for the model you installed?

Bro, if the AC refrigerant flow is impaired this will happen. Same if there's a leak or there's not enough charge. I can't explain it but it happen also if the windows or door is not closed and the AC is near it. Installers are hit and miss. If you're in Klang Valley I can recommend one.

Yerterday the installer boss himself come to my house to install a new set ME at my home, 4 bastard need 3.5 hours to install, he himself alone 1.5 hours settle, see how big the different.

Finally can enjoy the ME aircond yesternight, not bad at all. Just think that the price actually can bought 1.5 daikin inverter adi.

D
Conclusion?

Best or poor of ME set?

I never compare with other brand, solely based on what i got is good, but just too expensive.

No matter how, when i move in to the new house, the 2hp inverter i opt for living room will never be ME i think...would like to give a try to Daikin or Hitachi.

I see, should try Daikin inverter in future

MHI can consider. Very flexible air flow pattern. See here. I use Sharp 2.5HP but previous generation AHXP24MV due to the ability to deflect air flow to the ceiling, self cleaning and plasmacluster. New generation has long air throw.

Hi guys, need advice. My new aircon Panasonic hp 1.5, when I turn on, got blowing noise and can also hear the compressor making noise. Is it normal? I thought aircon are supposed to be quiet? And when at the balcony really can hear the compressor engine sound.. Please help.....

Like it ?



That is normal, even new Daikin still not quiet at all

This post has been edited by kimsim: Jun 14 2015, 11:09 PM

Ya wor, like that wor! Normal ka? Aiyoh means when I turn on aircon will have noise lor! Apala..... Toink!

Yesterday follow a friend services Aircon around in S'pore trip

Just notice the chemical wash would be very damn badly smell at all, but the result quite good n new.

Below was the photos taken

Very 1st from the owner never did maintenace or regular service until gas low and not longer cold at all.


After sprayed chemical


Completed wash n dryed, the overall like new.


Actually for me do a interval regular services is much have one

To be compare indoor aluminum coil design for more thicken the only ME and would be easily get bend and dent at all.

Pana & hitachi just so so.. Cause very weak can easily bend or dent after wash on coil fin, so the dirty dust would be remain until forever, once remain and reduce the airflow too.

York/Daikin still quite ok than others expansive Japan brands.

LG or samsung never used b4, so can't comments

This is called coil is taken from ME

please compare with my 20 yrs old toshiba

Your is the most legend... Can't compare anything

received my electricity bill ...1 unit 1.0hp daily sharp inverter aircon usage for 6hours , 2 water heater use for 2x daily , 430l Sharp inverter fridge , 1 water boiler cook water 1x daily . monthly only RM65....

time to throw my water boiler and switch to gas cooked already ... electricity consumption quite high for water boiler....

This post has been edited by ^Ware^wolf: Jun 15 2015, 02:08 PM

im not willing to pay higher electricity bill , juz to save RM1.3k for a new 1.0hp inverter aircon....

Now you realised the electric boiler water used more than Aircon right.

ya.. it use 1200w ...omg

Hi all need some help here..

Am having some issue with Mitsubishi air-con, model is MSY-GJ10VA..

Seems when the aircon is running for the 1st few hours it will have popping and ice cracking sound from the indoor unit, after achieved the desired temperature no more got sound..

But if I increase or lower the blower fan speed, it will have a cracking sound and popping sound for few minutes..

Have the Mitsubishi technician checked and he mentioned nothing is wrong..

Please help as its scaring the kids with those weird sound in the middle of the night..

Just double check the Aircon when installer they used hammer & nail the wall plate or used drill and screw to tie the wall plate?

Once the wall plate has been something dent then after temp had changed, would be created the cracking noise when compressor stop after gas kick in.

Installation to be the most important than the Aircon

Why one of my Panasonic inverter Aircon, the remote like not sensitive. Strange thing is this unit is the closest and lowest than the rest yet it cannot detect the remote. Have to really point at the Aircon baru can.

It also makes a noise when the louvers are swinging on their own. Also after it is completely off, it can make a noise like opening or closing some valve.

This post has been edited by idoblu: Jun 15 2015, 05:15 PM

I told you already, Pana never solve the louvre swing motor over a 10 yrs b4.

Just put some grease on swing motor then solve.

Remote control like KDK or Pana ceiling fan must be point to the sensor then baru detected

Just checked and its drill and screw..

But my other units also Panasonic, the remote works fine.

Just switch to other remote see is it work as fine?

Now was cold weather so nobody pump up the thread

Actually non inverter Aircon still much noisy and over heating the place too.

Noise wise still never improved

daikin non inverter thailand less noisy than daikin inverter one

daikin non inverter thailand less noisy than daikin inverter one

My neighbor used Daikin non inverter Thailand one.. The noise much higher wow... After 1 yr usages = 20 yrs old inverter Aircon noise condition

hi, I have a working compressor, just indoor unit rosak

anyone knows anyone who happens to want to buy compressor unit ? item in kg. lindungan, sunway

Just post at WTS thread should help a lots

Hello, I intend to buy few units of ME air con as it seems that it gets a lot of good feedback here. I wondering how is their after sell service ? Is the spare part more expensive than others ?

How is the noise and coldness of ME inverter and non-inverter
thank you.

I always consider spare part center and service center's location first. As far as I know, ME failed on me for this in Seremban.

Thanks for the inputs. What about the quality of the product - inverter and non-inverter deluxe ?
Are there performing well cold and quiet ? Thanks

All new air cond sure will be quiet for the first few years, especially Japanese brands. If you want noisy type, Samseng will be my first option

So that bad meh?

If you were compare to kimchi the price tag is alway cheaper than LG or Japan brand

Juz bought 2packs of air con filter from daiso Aeon bkt tinggi....is this the latest packaging ? I remembered last time not like that ....only need 2/3 of the filter .... For sharp air con... The extra 1/3will use on the sharp air filter...
