Hi Sifu.. need some advice. last time MCO.. so no buy aircond now open back then start survey back my aircond..

that day I went Daikin Million Dealer to ask quote. they tell me my terrace house all use non inverter is enough. no need inverter. they told me inverter model cant save much.. they ask me to get FTV-P.. 2.5HP for living (open kitchen).. 1.5HP for master and 1.0HP for bedroom.. this model okay? good buy?

then i did went to another aircond shop to ask quote too. they told me living room best get Daikin as they cool faster.. they also say 2.5HP FTVP.. but room they suggest for Pana cause it more energy saving.. is this true? they quote me Pana Inverter Standard. they also quote me Midea MXSX series..

among these brand.. which model should i go.. family member only want these 3 brand..

i see.. hmm.. normally daikin inverter which model recommends? FTKF? FTKU? which model should I avoid.. cause i see daikin some user complaining on PCB failure..

oh I see.. wah.. i really din notice the ODU. How about the peak power consumption? i noticed FTKU 1.0 and 1.5 peak Watt is almost the same.. does it means that the peak watt is the power consumption when i turn on the aircon and run for first few hrs?


I see.. how about non inverter model? is it better to get FTV-A series? I just noticed the 2.5HP FTVP is using microchannel.. whereas others are using fin tube.. any different between these 2?

Hi Sifu, I need some advice. Currently, I’m using a Daikin non-inverter 2.5HP aircon for the living room. It worked fine for the first year, but starting from the second year, it keeps breaking down. I’ve already repaired it three times, and more than RM1000 has flown away. Now it’s broken again.

I’m thinking of changing to a new unit. Should I go for 2.0HP, or stick with 2.5HP? The 2.5HP is cold enough for the living room, but my electricity bill shoots up fast. My house is a standard double-storey terrace with an open dry kitchen concept.

Normally, I only turn it on for about 2 to 4 hours per day during weekends. Also, which brand would you recommend? I’m really not happy with Daikin — the unit im using keeps giving me problems, and the design seems faulty. Some plastic parts inside even melted.
