Was thinking of getting electrical storage water heaters. Also considering a water pump but have to see if it fits into my budget...
A/C units I am planning to get all non-inverters with exception of maybe the master bedroom. Upsize as in intentionally choose a slightly higher HP unit than necessary?
Solar Hot Water Storage offers the best energy consumption vs usage if it is allowed to install at your new home. I also piped it into my kitchen to utilize hot water to clean my plates since it is "free"...

. Those long hot shower water after a long days' work is really satisfying without the fear of over paying TNB for it.
You will need to budget additional $$ for hot water piping system as most homes does not come with it.
For A/C you may install all pipings to be Inverter ready. The only install the unit where you will use it where budget is tight. Only install the unit later when budget allows. Eg, install all inverter ready pipings, then install the unit at Master Bedroom and Living Room area only. The rest of the rooms can be installed later when funds allow.
Yes, the upsize is choosing the next available HP unit.
