Buying which model of air conditioner was an easy decision for me but currently having dificulty to find a good air conditioner contractor having good installation job. I find many air conditioner contractors are giving lousy service and not doing the installation according to SOP. Many contractors are hiring unqualified/uncertified technician(s) and they tend to do the job according to their "own pasar standard". When U tell them "Ur suppose to do it according to the manual as written", they will tell U "I'm been doing this for years and I haven't seen anything problem due to this". Most of them are "btc" which means nvr been to school for education.

I currently looking ard for a good reputable contractor who can do a good job. I don't mind paying so longs the quality of the job done is above my satisfaction level. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

The airconds will be installed with concealed trunking, this is the toughest part for me due to I have to find a contractor who can do a excellent job in both installation and concrete works. Headache .


Aside frm different air conditioner output, typical inverter and conventional air conditioners are having dirrerent labout rate of installation charges since typical inverter air conditioners are using R410A refrigerent which is more expensive than R22 refrigerent and besides the copper pipings are different in dimension. U need to specific which type of air conditioner besides the output of it.


Above rates are for what air conditioner output? Inverter or conventional air conditioner?

R410A and R22 are different in price. Typical inverter air conditioners are running on R410A refrigerent. Why is the service charges the same between inverter and conventional air conditioner?

Unstable in terms of what?

The price not include gas refill. You don't need refill gas every time service the aircon.

Some time follow manual will not work. If I follow manual to install digital lock I won't get it install into my door already. Manual is good but experience is a must.

Sometimes doesn't mean most of the times. There are exceptions due to many factors. If manual is not for U to follow, then what is the reason manufacturer include along with their product? Unless V are better than the manufacturer on their own product. I agree tht experience is a must despite manual is given.

I don't wanna end up like this.

Anybody managed to get some better pricing for the above mentioned aircons?

Your price are good. How about without installation?

Are you planning to install them yourself after reading the horror stories about bad aircon installations.

Just deduct RM150.

I won't. I am not that fussy. As long it don't move, not leak, nicely done, and cold I am good.

All A/C will be install by the contractor doing my a/c conceal piping. I got to buy first than he come do and collect the payment. hehe maybe if i don't ask him install the a/c he will not come collect payment

Legends SS2

Oh, Thank you.

I went there before, but they quote me similar price without installation. I'll check with the person your PM me. Thank you.

As i said before, its all about which salesman you talk to. If you talk to the wrong guy, you will get quoted prices which are sometimes higher than other shops. But always make sure u do your homework e.g check prices, check specs, etc. Its a very important bargaining tool not just for Legends for anything and everything else.

very nice price there...

Yes! Somehow prices at Legends SS2 are really good.

I got trouble in choosing the air-con for my new house.

My designer suggest us to install a 3.0 hp cassette air-con in living area. And other places like dining, master, guest room can install 1.0 or 1.5 hp normal air-con.

What is the main different between cassette and normal air-con. Will cassette one consume more?

Also, I struggle in choosing which brand, York, Mitsubishi, Panasonic ？

Below is the price quote in Home Dec.

Cassette 3.0 hp (+ need to pay installation fee)
York RM 3500 +
Mitsubishi RM 3199 +
Panasonic RM 3150 +

1.5 hp
York Standard 1250, Ion 1380 include installation
Mitsubisi Standard 1180+160, Plasma 1399+160
Panasonic Standard 1050+180, Deluxe 1450+180

1.0 hp
York Standard 950, Ion 1050 include installation
Mitsubishi Standard 799+130, Plasma 1050+130
Panasonic Standard 788+150, Deluxe 999+150

All the above are non-inverter.

I am working overseas, so we won't use air-con frequently. But I hope the air-con can keep a good condition and also can use for longer life.

Any one can help me. Thousand thanks.

I was advised that every few months, you should switched on the aircon and let them run.
If the aircon hp were to be based on calculations, it will always be on the higher side. For me, I just use 1hp in all rooms. For the living & dining, just use 1.5hp. Don't need very low temperature.

Ive given you the prices of the Panasonic aircons in earlier posts. Its much cheaper to get it from Legends SS2. Your prices seem a bit high. Your 1.5HP Pana Deluxe with Ioniser (non inverter) costs RM1630 with installation while i installed mine yesterday for only RM 1380 (all inclusive).

Plus i dont think you will need 3HP aircon.

Added on November 3, 2011, 9:24 pmThe problem with using lower hp aircons is that the compressor will need to come on more often to maintain a particular temperature. Thats why sometimes ppl who have installed inverter aircons still complain of high electricity bills.

BUt if your room is small then a 1.0HP will do. I dont think 1.5HP aircon is sufficient for an open area like the hall unless your hall is really small.
