thanks for all of the positive feedback. Will scout around legend / seng heng for good deal tomorrow.

the 2 cables outside is it just hanging there or connected?

Why not get the contractor who install the piping for you to install the air con too? better get the same guy to do the job end to end to prevent finger pointing in future.

Agreed. And the best is asking him to confirm whether indeed for invester before you purcahse it...
because after you purchase and deliver, you on your own and your contractor could said is "Sorry, mistake"

the small copper pipe for liquid while the big one is for gas, these 2 copper pipe are for refrigeration cycle, Liquid+vapor (in small pipe) -> inlet(fan) to give cood air -> become vapor in big pipe -> outlet(compressor/condensor) -> liquid+vapor (in small pipe).

inverter and non-inverter also use these 2 copper pipes for refrigeration cycle, but inverter need more thicker copper pipe.

the 3 wires located outside the rubber hose is air-cond power point, to be connected to the inlet (fan), while the 3 wires wrapped together with the copper pipes are connected from the inlet (fan) to outlet(compressor) as power and signal.

if you have asked yr contractor for use inverter air cond, i think yr contractor wont con you to supply thicker copper pipe because yr air cond installer will know at the end.

One is called high pressure another is called low pressure

Just found out that Panasonic is having a promotion where you can extend the warranty period for your Pana AC for another 2 years for RM50 per year. (for 1HP)
The 1.5 HP will be slightly more.

i installed Midea 2x 1hp basic and 1x1.5hp inverter. Looks n feel ok. let me comeback with feedback after few months.

planning to order panasonic new deluxe non inverter aircond tmr (but got energy saving 5 star rating so should be not too bad) and get them installed next week

Hello kuchingfight, the Midea air con (inverter) is using the same wiring and piping as the non-inverter type?

yes conventional piping and gas..

the new design quite nice what hp and price u get?

I purchased 2 units of CS-C9NKH 1.0HP for RM1020/unit without installation @ mid-valley last month. free RM80 jusco voucher. so the unit price is RM980.

Couple months ago, my brother get his Panasonic Econavi 1.0 Hp at CLK only 900.

Recently, I am now facing some noise problem (when the vents are set to swing) on 2 of my Pana AC. Reported the problem to Pana and they got their agent and also sent their own technician to look at them. 3 times already. Even after changing the controller board plus the discharge grille. The noise come back after a day or two.

what do u guys think of this pricing for panasonic ac.

pc24mkh - RM2090
pc12mkh - RM1080

s10nkh - RM1250
s13nkh - RM1520

What kind of noise?

It is from the blower unit. Noise comes about when the air vents are moving up & down and sideways. More like some friction in the moving parts. However, the noise is not constant. Most likely when the vent is at certain direction or what. Anyway, it is quite irritating especially at night. So as temp measure, had to turn off the air vent swing.

Thanks for confirming. So far do you think is it on par with the bigger branded air con out there? I am considering midea as well, but then a bit concerns on the reliability thought .

Carrier and Electrolux are using Midea's aircond compressor.

unfortunately, i can only giv u my honest feedback after few months. to my, the inner working of inverter is almost the same across all brands. for 1.5hp inverter, price diff is closed to rm500 between midea and panasonic. so that IS a BIG diff. well, it shouldnt be too bad 2+3 warranty, appliances now, use ->spoilt ->throw ->buy new.
