I've been wanting to install an air conditioner. The price of the unit doesnt bother me that much.

What bothers me is the installation fee as i'm unfamiliar. Most of the seller says that it comes with installation fee included which is a standard RM250 for 10ft copper and pipe.

But how does the installers know that its within the 250 and they don't have to charge extra?

Has anyone encounter anything like the installer suddenly says they need to charge extra on the day of installation?

And it would also be nice to know how much have you guys paid for installation for those that have installed aircond before D



Your info is much appreciated!!

yes, you have to prepare money. and you only can place the compressor where you only allow to

Based on reasonably accessible areas. If need sky lift or if the indoor unit is too far to the compressor, then extra charges apply.

All new aircond comes with FREE installation, yours bought online ke? If more than 10 feet piping then different story la.

RM125 only. included 10feets copper pipe.

not all. some like TBM they subcontract to others to do the installation.

Remember wear to show ur flattening chest n thigh,maybe b gotted foc installation

quite cheap, wheres your location?

klang valley

yes, it seems to be the 'norm'

MO:
AC installer come, ask where you want the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit
takes measuring tape, measure distance between indoor unit and outdoor unit.

depending on path taken, it could varies greatly.
the thing i can't remember is: 10ft for price of copper pipe (5ft actual distance since need a return pipe), or actual 10ft distance (20ft copper pipe used)

additional cost:
plastic trunking to hide the ugly black insulation: count per piece used (about rm50 for 20ft trunking)
pull new wiring (if the AC place don't have outlet)

That's pretty cheap. Thanks1

Yea, because I have a rented unit, so a plastic trunking would be better to make the owners unit installation nicer and neat.
So i recon its safe to say I have to prepare at least 300-400 just for installation at least. What do you think?

And based on your experience, do you think its possible for the installation to go above RM400?

I hope so too I have long thigh and big chest. Sadly I only have pisang.

My info is that see the technician as an artist and those copper pipe and hunting sini sana pasang sini sana as a work of art
If possible bagi manyak sikit because 250 is extremely little
Since they have to source the material, drive around to sauce that material
Angkat barang berat badan size losmah
Lepas tu if condominium or apartment they kena jadi spiderman Angkat compressor berat badan lembu takut jatuh mampuih

Unless boss you pasang sendiri la

I reread your question
They are undercutting and themselves
And Alot jibai anak derhaka keep cutting them and auntie cheese pie

Understood, thanks man. I don't mind paying banyak sikit. I just don't want to be charged a ridiculous price out of the market rate.

What kind of place are you staying in? Condo, apartment ke, or landed?

Pay more for better servis

mine was an additional RM450 on top of the 'free 10 ft' installation that comes with the AC purchase. way back in 2016

That's an okay price for me.

1k for installation itself?!

basically cheapest u will get installation about RM180, Copper RM15/feet and cable about rm8/feet

so back to back installation will be

Installation RM180
Copper 3feet 54
Cable 3 Feet 40

so normally for 250 for 1hp aircond installation

it also depends on your socket. if ready, if need to plug in to Circuit breaker will be more expensive la ..

before i make decision to buy, got offer to do installation RM 560...so aircond 1100 (shoppe) + 560...expensive worrr

Some selling aircond shop offer free installation if copper piping use is less than 3ft. More than that then extra charge. Go for back-to-back installation for better n faster cooling.

I already have a electric socket. All i need to do is the piping actually.

Ukur~

And make sure they install the right piping. If not it will cost you further down the road. Need to change the whole pipe again, costly.
RM200-250 for 1st installation sounds about right if the piping isn't so long between indoor and outdoor unit. Total distance can sum up quite fast once you start measuring.

For example :
- 1hp vs 1.5hp vs 2.0hp pipes
- Non-inverter vs Inverter

Piping must use recommended AC pipes size/dimension stated in the manual for best cooling. Else, you might suffer less cool and coolant leaking.
After 1 to 2 weeks of installation you don't feel cool like before, then something is wrong with the piping. Just my experience.

Below rm200 is really cheap but u should be cautios about it. The usual rate is rm200 and above. Depending on the gas u used , wiring, wall hacking , piping length and so on.

But I think that price only accounts for exposed trunking. For concealed installation, the price could differ.

Prepare around RM400 to be sure.

Homepro - RM99 only

Others, 180-200, depends how to get the installer

That is normal rate for 1hp for back to back. If your indoor unit located far from outdoor unit then of course need to add extra.

1. Aircond hp
2. Inverter or not
3. type of house 1st floor 2nd floor condo
4. Wiring ready or not or need to add power point
5. Wiring want to conceal or not

If your aircond 1hp want to install on 1st floor back to back or condo with reasonable ledge and use available power socket.... then RM250 is the max. Don't worry.

I expect around that price too. Appreciate your info

1. 1 HP
2. Non-inverter
3. Condo (but with designated compressor area)
4. electrical wiring already have, just water and hose piping
5. Don't need to conceal in wall, just plastic cover

that should be it.

nak tumpang tered.

the installation fee here is for ONE a/c? my house will be ready in 2 years time. i want to install 2-3 a/c.

Then RM 250 is the max. I never need to pay more than 200 for 1hp installation..the max I installed is RM 350 for 2.5hp inverter back to back.

Yes, my inquiry is for 1 unit only. I'm pretty sure each unit will be charged separately, but maybe the more a/c the cheaper.

is negotiable la .. depends your skills .. anything can be nego

As long as you buy from shop they installation should be free....if they charge means scam liou

rm250 normal price

mind sharing the link?

That for non inverter, kalau inverter is expensive as R22 piping is different.

If TS not sure about the cost, ask the contractor what is the charges for extra of piping per foot.

Charge is 150 to 200 , some with MBA cert will charge 250 to 300
Depends on the location. Better take experience people normal inexperienced people will ffk yr air cond.

Another hidden charge that customers dont realized.. AC power point. This one is not included in the installation fees. Some customers already have the power point, some don't.

i`m in the office now, were using wife hp to shop the aircond, but here is the shop phone number 017 470 7988. The shop name at shoppee was mmutiaratrading. You can ask Midea 1.5 hp inverter.

I am thinking of getting Mitsubishi MSY-jp13vf 1.5hp invertor from Home pro with RM99 installation. How is their customer service? They engage 3rd party installer not their own.

Quite ok, get that electrolux, very cold , although using R410a.

Outside contractor, min 250, not including extended pipes

Thanks!

Anyone can help evaluate if this is fair price?

Scope :
1x new Cassette 2hp - brand new position ~25 feet away?
1x existing wall mount 2hp - moved position to behind existing wall + higher position
2x existing wall mount 1hp moved a little bit higher from existing position.

Reason for moving to higher position is because we redid the plaster ceiling, Previous owner installed the wall mount units at 2.1 m from floor height which we thought was too low.. But rough estimation shows moving it up costs ~RM450 from quotation - sounds much higher than what you all have posted up there.. So am considering does the extrinsic value justify the spend.. And whether I was quoted too much?

Here is the quotation breakdown provided (excluding aircon unit cost)
Rm2600 - supply and install copper pipe
Rm1000 - installation for wall mounted (2x 1hp, 1x 2hp)
Rm475 - installation of ceiling cassette
RM500 - Hacking

Total RM4575

Appreciate any sifus can comment?

Which shop offer free installation?
