If room is far from outdoor, what is the best method of installing AC? Go through ceiling to put the indoor AC, or pull the pipe into the house then into the room?
Second method seems not so nice to look at, unless can properly seal up.
Just want to know in terms of cost and performance for the AC.

Some people said Daikin not good.
Always leaking water and not functioning after installation.
*
Leaking is caused by improper installation. So make sure to get someone who can do the job properly otherwise you will regret for maintenance in the future.

Anyone use Gree? how is it?

Hi all,
Understand that Inverter AC needs 4 wire LNE + signal for ODU to IDU. I need to install 1hp inverter for 2 bedrooms, both need to pull new wire from DB.
How do I ensure the person who do the AC socket do it the right way for inverter AC? I want to get the socket done earlier, because I'm worried AC installer might just take shortcut convert earth to signal.
Actually, any significan risk if do LNE +signal versus earth convert to signal?
Appreciate the help and guidance.

Between ODU to IDU will have 4 wires. Ask the installer to show you since you pulling new cables. Earth hijacked as signal is bad practice.

DB to IDU 3 wires.

Motors in metal box (like AC ODU) are best grounded, if they short out and you happen to touch it at that moment wave.gif

Ok, will get the wireman to do it properly. First experience using inverter AC.

QUOTE(blibala @ Jul 22 2023, 12:21 PM)
It is good to have earth for safety. For my case i only discovered after 1 year and cannot do anything. Aircond still working without earth. So if u havent done, pls make sure it is 4 wire

Have anyone tried the latest inverter series from Midea or Haier? What's your comment. In terms of pricing, Midea slightly > Haier.
Planning to get another 1HP AC for guest room, probably using few times a month.

Just for reference, my small living room now with 2hp Mitsubishi inverter, now I set 30c fan speed 1 only is cool enough.

On hot day compressor will run at normal consuming 4A. At night with Windows showing temperature 27-28c, compressor usually run 3A initially, then gradually reduce to 2A. So there's still power saving compare to fixed speed running non speed. Used to have fixed speed compressor, my father cannot tolerate the hotness with compressor stop, so we never let the compressor stop. With inverter, he's the one setting the higher temperature to enjoy cool breeze air instead of chilling cold
*
I think the larger HP does help to cool down faster hence the compressor can slow down and provide some savings. Btw, whats the easiest way to check electric usage of the compressor, like how many A it currently run?

I installed midea 1.0hp easypro for 3 months now and bought it about 1.1k after discount at shopee. Very satisfied with its performance. I tested 3 month comparing sharp 1hp and midea both 5 star inverter. Surprisingly my bill drops by using midea (i didnt turn on sharp inverter for 3 months ady). And midea is colder... No regret to try midea.

Does the KWH also plays a part in electric saving? for example some of the aircond specs shows 780W, some 740W, some over 800W.

2. from 2739 to 1356 kwh a year, easy to recoup the cost

3. Suspected pinhole leak along the return line.. just like blood in human, it never leak in a closed system but if u have a papercut or similar there goes the blood/refrigerant, contaminated w moisture. When refrigerant contaminated then it affect its gaseous point (it supposed to deliver cold LIQUID to IDU then collect heat and draw it away via suction line in the form of GAS/VAPOUR back to ODU)

4. Unlikely to have significant impact coz haze is not heat wave.

How to check this KWH a year thing? Usually not stated in AC specs.

I guess you didn’t read this sentence from my previous post.

FYI, I'm renting the unit to the tenant, not for self-use.

The average cost difference between an inverter and a non-inverter aircon is about RM500. Why would I pay more to get an inverter aircon for my tenant? Furthermore, the cost of repair (spare parts) is higher as compared to a non-inverter aircon. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Personally, I have been using Panasonic, Daikin and Mitsubishi inverter aircon at my home for more than 10 years. They are very reliable and seldom give me problems, but the price is on the high side for these well-known brands.

I’m looking at the China aircon brands since they are cheaper, but I wouldn't know if they are reliable as I have never used them before, so I need some feedback from existing users.

I'm open to any brands or models that are cheap and reliable. You may also PM me if you know of any shops or contractors who are selling aircon in the KL area. Thanks!
*
For China brand can choose Midea. Gree is on the high side, price comparable to jap brand. To get an overview about price, I suggest you look at shopee.
Midea 1hp non inverter around rm800++ excluding installation.
1HP inverter about RM1100 exclude installation.

Hi I have this more than 10 years old Daikin, i have been DIY cleaning the coil, so everytime cleaned the coil the Aircon works like normal, still blowing cold air. But after 1 month then water start dripping, then no more cold air. I think it is clogged or something. Is it worth to overhaul it or replace it? Thanks

hi all, wondering if anyone has experience with a faulty ionizer unit? my panasonic xpu started making high pitch sounds since a few weeks back, and it stops only when i turn of the ionizer.

not sure what is the issue as it's been used less than 2yrs @ ~8hrs/day. if anyone here knows if it can be replaced or need to contact panasonic, do share. thank you!

I assume still under warranty? better get Panasonic to check.

yeah wanted to go for Panasonic or Daikin but they were around 1.1k so asked for cheaper models and got quoted Haier,

Usage will be mostly in hot weather + nightly usage  biggrin.gif

If long hour of usage get their inverter series. I think around 1k for Haier inverter.

Nobody said that Panasonic is a good aircon brand, except those saleman.
1hp Panasonic model, inverter or non, can skip it.
Go for daikin or Mitsubishi electric.

Inverter aircon can use in cold rains or hot weather.
Nothing to worried about on and off to make you feel uncomfortable.

Can easily search my posts in this thread, all the way I am recommended inverter unit. But nobody wanna try to install inverter, most of Malaysian go for cheaper model, got cold air good than enough.

That is why R32 non inverter model still alive in year 2024 Malaysia.
Singapore non inverter model, discontinued in 10 years ago 😂

For those on small budget, Midea inverter is cheap compared to daikin or Mitsubishi.

Mitsubishi electric aircon have easy cleaning feature in some models.
How come there are no new aircon model launched since year 2019?

Just wonderring, how well can the easy cleaning do its job? Some other brand also have this, but how often do we need to use them.
