can use ikea's panel curtains block the kicthen entrance + staircase? i'm thinking to do so, any comment or other suggestion?

install air curtain

More expensive.

Was quoted Mitsubishi elec basic 1.5HP, RM1.2K. Is the price ok?

I used Mitsubishi Mr Slim 7 years ago. After 1 year, quite a lot of problem. 1st of all, it not as cool as new even i dont the regular chemical full service annually. 2nd, the aircon vent is dripping water when entering 2nd year. 3rd year, the board faulty and the temp control go haywire, even i set 25, the compressor will not stop, continuous running not stop and the temp is like 16 after this incident, i gave up.

After i moved to my new condo, i bought Panasonic, happily even after and pana serving me well for 3 years + now and i will move them to my new landed house soon.

That's my experience only and is 7 years ago. Now should be improved already. Or maybe my luck is bad.

My LG 32 LCD also spoilt 2 times already. Now is the 3rd board from LG

Should around there, include or excluded installation?


philipcs,
I guess maybe the guy who fixed your aircon not Pro enough lol. I'm having 2 units almost like 10 years now (1HP / 1.5HP) so far beside service every 2-3 years due to gas, it never give me any problem. Hence coming new house I'm getting another 4 MIT too...
But sometime just still need depend of luck too...

The price is excluding installation charges.

Sometime is all about luck too.

From past experience I found the National are much more reliable, but after the single brand to Panasonic is no longer that case.

Totally agree!
I don't have luck on this kind of thing one.
Even my car, within 1 year, wheel bearing spoil twice.
House, normal water filter for washing machine burst once and drinking water filter keep leaking one.
sigh.....

so dont come close to me to avoid my bad luck

wah lal.....maybe only on house hold items only...

You got fungsui problem.

I bought a Panasonic CS-S10MKH and CS-S13MKH at RM1,165 and RM1,495 respectively and price are w/o installation.

I was quoted the Daikin FTKS50GVMG/RKS50GVMG (2HP, inverter type, R410A refrigerent) at RM2,950 w/o installation, and RM3,450 with installation.

More contractor talk regarding air-cond brands.
This time is regarding Mitsubishi.
My wiring contractor and wetwork contractor was discussing what type of air cond I should choose since I gave up on Daikin due to its unique wiring requirement.
When I brought up Mitsubishi, they nick named this air cond as the rich man's air cond.
This is because many of its compressor parts uses PCB, printed circuit board.
If rosak hafta replace PCB most of the time.

guys, how does the aircond contractor direct the drain pipe from the head unit of the aircond other then pulling a pipe outside to the roof?

The reason is i want to ask some indon to hack the wall for copper laying, so the aircond contractor can just come and lay without hacking.

Drain pipe use gravity, so all the way down. This is how water work. If you put drain pipe up the roof, your a/c is above the roof? Common sense please.

Bro, who's stupid enough to lead the drainpipe up onto the top of the roof.

What I meant by directing to the roof is the roof above the ground floor around the house. Not the roof as the roof top.

You meant you want to ask your contractor to ready a pipe and conceal it so that in future the aircon folk could just lay the copper cable through the pipe, rights?

Something like that, but I will do the hacking and the aircond guys just only come and lay the copper pipes.

Just want to know normally where do installers redirect the aircond drain pipes when conceal?

This was suggested by my aircond contractor if i wanted to save on the cost of hacking since my house is currently undergoing a major renovation.
