Hi All,
I have took VP of my condo unit last year December, my happy mood was immediately spoilt when I saw 2 big compressors in the kitchen yard!
When we bought this condo, we were told the condo adapt Water Cooled Air-cond System (WCAS) and therefore the location of AC ledge / compressors are NEVER marked in SPA layout.

They are many owners unhappy with this, the kitchen is now like sauna, and it poses safety and health hazard to the residents.
We have nego with developer but they are still dragging!!!! and in another 18 months time the defects liability period would be over!!!

May I check with the experts here:

1. Is developer's statement true:
"Even though AC ledge is not marked in main parcel, but it doesn't mean we couldn't install it at yard"
Developer claimed they didn't mark it in BP as they need more flexibility.

2. We also wonder whether AC ledge is Accessory Parcel. Developer should sell the accessory parcel sqft at lower price? Let's say there are 2 scenarios:
2.1 AC ledge is registered in BP as "Accessory Parcel": Is developer justified to install AC ledge there? And can they just take up our built up area?
2.2 AC ledge is not registered in BP as "Accessory Parcel": Is developer justified to install AC ledge there? And can they just up our built up area?

3. Developer claimed they can only install AC ledge / compressor within main parcel now. They cannot shift it just outside the yard (at the wall of our master bedroom) as it is already consider as Common Area?? What could we do now?

4. Let’s set a scenario, finally we are able to shift the compressor out of yard (maybe put it outside the yard, with extended platform). After this was done, JMB formed. Would we get into trouble when JMB set house rules said that this AC ledge must be removed because it affect condo appearance and so on?

Really appreciate your kindness and advices! I spent RM700++ K and end up heart broken

try ask @ FB's "Peguam Netizen Speaks" group

Please share some photos here.

I am just 6 feet away from compressor.

Open space behind ac outdoor unit? If not, you need to install exhaust fan.

Holy shit!

mind to share which condo?

Lol, this developer really sneaky.
Which condo by the way??

Can share the floor plan and overall layout?? Which project?? But i do see some projects that come with free aircond installed the airconds at yard... Bcos no aircond ledge area in unit layout..

Looks like a cheapskate developer.

More like architect was ignoring of usage or practicality.

The installation is wrong in the first place, the fins should be facing outwards to blow the hot air towards outside. Cheapest interim solution is to spend some money to twist it the other way round but you may need to extend the copper tubings and cables.

as my understanding
yard function as laundry purpose.
ledge is for AC compressor . option 1: is install a folding door between yard and kitchen
and add exchaust fan . from the situation now. the yard area become AC ledge area.
option 2 : to relocation of AC compressor to outter wall.. im not sure can be done or not but the ledge wall can be louvre design to match your condo facade.
but this must agree by jmb i think...

normal practice , AC compressor will located at outdoor or disclosure area. like air well so its wont wasted your build up area and ventilated
but if the ledge stated in snp and covered yes its included as build up area

WHICH DEVELOPER IS THIS? HOLY SH**!!!

fycking holy shit.... i see this imagine of HK those cheap condo..... everything inside the toilet....
try to fight thru tribunal court....

I suggest u to ask your Architect friend to justify on the current situation... Important thing is if the installation will cause any harm or safety to be at stake .. safety of the occupants, the area, the structure... And whether it fulfills the usual bomba or other specific requirements ...

This developer is really a BS max...

1. Any documented proof that the condo was going to adapt WCAS?
2. Isn’t there any AC ledge at all on site?
3. Floor plan in your SPA also never showed any AC ledge space?

mine to which condo is it?

Yes the rotation of the aircond is wrong.

This is wet yard and not 'kitchen'.
