2.5hp should be sufficient depending on the location to install the FCU. In a living hall? In a room or dining. If the area is covered with wall 2.0hp should be enough. If is a open area then I suggest you go for higher hp 2.5hp

There's is no best inverter air con in the market.

Just like you purchase a hybrid car. Which hybrid is the best to save fuel.
Prius, crz, A6 hybrid or even the high class S400 hybrid.
These are just price difference. There's no such if you bought a car that will never breakdown. Depends how you use them, how often you carry out servicing maintenance.

It's really depends on what spec you need. The function fit your requirements? Do you need those functions? Different air con comes with different functions etc ionizer, eye sensor, quiet mode bla bla..

Which HP you looking for? 2k budget can get a 1.5hp inverter + installation and have few hundred to get back.

Inverters doesnt cool down quickly. Same goes to other brands. It takes time to cool down the area but once cool down the area. You'll feel the cooling consistent coming out from the FCU which will maintain the cooling by setting the temperature.

At the end.. it still depends on what spec you need.

I will reckon panasonic.

Before this does your air con feels cold after installed? If it is maybe it needs to carry out servicing. Or there's some parts faulty need to be replace. Please seek for professional technician to have it checked.

Note if your inverter FCU is under powered. The compressor will spin at high rpm to achieve the cooling you need. When you set temperature at 18 - 16°c the compressor will non stop running at high speed. Since your FCU is under powered and the living hall is huge is no point installing a inverter cause it doesn't save electricity. Do you agree? Cause your FCU doesn't cool down the area at all.

Inverter system will always runs at high speed when you turned on. Once the area achieve the temperature the indoor thermistor will send a signal to the outdoor to ask the compressor rotate at medium speed or even low. That's how it works! How it save current. It only save current when the compressor rotating low speed when you use a longer period. If you use 2 - 3 hours is no point install inverter.

It is in the market. Selling lower price than what panasonic posted at their website. Seek for panasonic dealer. It's cheaper than 200 - 300

Is just like switch on powerful mode. Note everything will goes auto. You need to set back to normal mode once it cools down the area.

Haha. I hope this series won't happen like previous model Panasonic o2 and Irobot. Air coming out from the top will makes any difference? Selling price also like sky high for 1.5hp.

As what I said. Everything goes auto..... Inverter pushing out high rpm for 4 hours and then only goes to auto comfort. Ini save current ke???

For non inverter yes. You can fit proton with Ferrari engine no problem. But not for inverters.

can pakai la.. YORK = Acson Acson = York, spare part also sama sama pakai... acson is just a sub brand from York
same goes to Toyota sub brand Lexus

Proton from Malaysia, mitsubishi from Japan.

Which one would you choose? Both also have 4 tires.

For room or living room?

Yup. 1 unit should be fine. Save money for maintenance and installation.

Can't really judge on this issue. All these PCB boards have problems. Because it's electronic stuff. If they so confident on their products they would have give you 5 years warranty. But sadly. Is just 1 year. Because is electronics stuff. There's is no answer how long is a life span is. Same goes to other brands. If you're lucky you can use up to 4 years. But air con nowadays if you can use up to 4 - 5 years is a miracle.

How long you will use the air con in the living room? 3 hours? Or 4 hours? Or whole day if you're at home.

York is a quite standard and not so bad. Just take note how you reclaim the warranty. Do check with lazada.

My girlfriend is using this model. Quite good.

I'll rate this 7/10

It's normal when you hear the revving sound from the compressor because the loud noise means it runs at high speed. Both fan and compressor. When cool down the area it will switch to medium speed and the sound goes a little lower. The sound is just like uhmm when aeroplane take off the jet sound getting louder and then when up sky the sound goes lower. Haha.. shouldn't have any sound besides the compressor and fan. Do check with your installer.

This you check with lazada. Mostly air con distributor are from Selangor. I don't think they will travel to penang just to help.you to claim the faulty parts.

40 x 40 is a huge living hall. Does this cover dining area?
