Hi guys, I'd like to seek or some advise / opinion / experienced from here if any -- regarding multi-split AC.
to make it short, I would like to exchange my current x3 unit of rooms AC (of coz after deep assessment about my requirements) given by developer to multi-split unit, because 1 of the compressor is located in yard, and I'm gonna seal my yard with sliding windows, will be indoor most of the time.
So after I replace, there will be only 1 compressor for rooms sitting in my balcony (another 1 for living room, untouched)...
put aside about the cost needed, I've been engaging with a few AC guy/contractor, to ask for quotation about my plan for the replacement.
But almost all their respond when hearing i wanna use a multi-split AC is like a big NO.....
Among the reasons are...
1) if compressor went down, all rooms no AC
2) if compressor spoilt, hard to find spare part
3) it's very expensive, not worth the cost to replace and exchange.
so I'm wondering is it really that bad for multi-split AC?
this multi-split AC so fragile one meh? so easy to spoilt?
even i went to some AC supplier shop when I'm asking for multi-split AC price, they look at me like alien...
i know it is not so common in Malaysia for this type of AC, but I'm not sure are they really not recommended, or the contractors themselves also not familiar with this and refuse to bring trouble to themselves?
I'm really confused..
hope any taiko have some valuable input that can share with me?
