Looking to replace my aircon unit. Its a 11 yr old Sharp 1.5Hp. Its still functional however the plastic harden become yellowish and breaking off. This will be for master bedroom.

Looking for something that saves money (inverter) and last as long. I am looking at Panasonic or York (big difference in term of price.. why?) Any recommendations?

My aircond serviceman quoted RM370 to dismantle and installed new.. fair price?

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?

Fair price. Change the pipes to inverter pipes too.

Sharp has inverter btw. Plasmacluster, ceiling air throw mode (Coanda effect), indoor unit blower cleaning (mould proof drying and disinfecting w Plasmacluster), 0.5°C stepping,  2 level step down power saving, sleep mode amidst other features. I've used its first generation and now using second generation in different homes. Hardly needs maintenance except the mesh filter and outdoor unit cleaning. Price wise it is cheapest amongst the other inverters whilst packing many features. Aeon Jusco may be selling the outgoing third generation at 30% discount for the 2014/5 model (R410a gas). The latest generation used R32 refrigerant gas.
