hi guys, want to ask is 2.5mm wires enuff for connecting between the compressor and blower for 1.5hp? thanks
2.5mm wire is cheaper than 4mm 50% 100m coil is rm55 and rm110

Enough.

Panasonic 1.0HP Air Con [CS-C9MKH] - RM899
Panasonic 1.0HP Air Con [CS-PC9MKH] - RM768
Panasonic 1.5HP Air Con [CS-PC12MKH] - RM1068
Panasonic 2.0HP Air Con [CS-PC18MKH] - RM1825

Got this price online from a shop in SS2

I see, perhaps I should consider as one of the option . Besides, do you guys know that for the inverter type of compressor, you would need to empty out the existing coolant before refilling the new one? As for the normal type of air con, we can just "top up" to refill it. Not sure if this is real or not.

Note: Midea inverter can just refill.... that is what I have been told

I have had this problem also in one of my pana aircond. However the noise gone after couple of minutes. I'm sure it cames from the swing parts but I haven't switch on the aircond as I seldom use the room. Will try again this weekend.

anyways, i ON it for the first night tru, first impression..okla..haha juz aircon, set 27C n comfy tru it.

May I know what is the meaning back to back installation? I understand it's aircon installed with the outdoor unit right behind it after the wall. How about install aircon on the wall, the pipe going straight out from the wall to outside then a few feet away to the outdoor unit? Is that considered back to back?

Also, does back-to-back installation requires hacking and cementing back? At first I want to let my contractor settle the aircon cause we want concealed piping (not back-to-back). But he’s slow… so I’m thinking to deduct that work out and only buy air con after we move in and go for back to back. Now my concern is whether there’s hacking and I would need contractor to help me cement/plastering back that area.

Hope my explanation of my scenario is clear. I’m so kucar-kacir now because of the renovation thing! Stress...

Do the back to back have enough opening for compressor / blower unit?

You mean does the outdoor unit have enough place to be mounted there?

It’s a double storey so I have an area like balcony (but not accessible unless climb out of window) outside the window. One at the outside area of my master bedroom (let’s call it A) and another at outside of bedroom 3 (let’s call it B). I guess the air cons can sit at the balconies. I wanted to install 3 air con.

1. Master bedroom and lead the pipe to outdoor unit at balcony A.
2. Living room at ground floor but let the outdoor unit at balcony A too.
3. Bedroom 2 and let the outdoor unit at balcony B (balcony B is outside of bedroom 3, next to bedroom 2)

I’ve seen my neighbor putting the air con at (1) & (2) so I guess should be ok. Not sure about (3)

But is this consider as back to back and standard installation? But I know over 10 feet will charge by feet la.

Do I need people to help me cement/plaster back the holes or the air con installer capable to open holes just nice for the piping that I don’t need to do cementing back?

If you plan to conceal the piping, is better to do during renovation before your contractor do wall plastering. Normal A/C installation will not hack and conceal, unless you pay them extra. Is a lump sum charges per a/c. And I can tell you their plastering skill is no where near wet work contractor.

If you are ok to have the black hose expose on the outdoor unit than can be done after renovation. The only think you need to take note if the indoor blower unit is not mount on the wall facing outside, you will have some hose expose. If that is fine.

Normal small opening holes the a/c install will be able to seal it, but usually not cement, just the normal white wall putty.

Hi everyone,

Need some advise. I stay on the top floor so quite warm during daytime . I plan to
install a 1hp aircon to cool the hall,dining and kitchen about 500sqft. I know it is under sized
but I plan to set the temp to 28 degree only. not cold just cool enough. Normal temp
about 32 degree.

1)If i run the ac 12 hrs a day everyday will the electricity cost
for this 1hp ac cost more than rm50.00/month?
2)Is mitsubishi non inverter ok or better to get inverter model.

Thanks

I asked my friends from china. They said Gree Air Conditioner is the Top Brand among all the air conditioner in China. Anyone installed Gree Air Conditioner at home?
Why not you consider Gree ?
Beside price, what make you choose Midea Air Conditioner?

Need some advice here.

I hv been told by a shop at SS2 just now that Panasonic air cond is out of stock due to flood in Thailand. Then he highly recommended me York.

Went to another shop a few doors away and I was told Panasonic air cond is assembled in msia. But It's not recommended due to high consumption of electricity, noisy and it vibrates. Then he highly recommended me Mitsubishi.

Any feedback from current Panasonic user ?

Macam macam story ada. how to buy?

York will be powerful, but is bit noisy.

since is powerful, can lower the indoor fan speed to reduce noise lor

my york a/c delivered,


3.0hp,2.5hp, 2.0hp,1.5hp - 1 unit each total cost rm10300

my house using daikin inverter 1.0hp since february 2010
i've service once last june..
then early this month the aircond malfunction..
i've call daikin dealer and they checked my outdoor unit was spoilt..
how many years warranty for the daikin outdoor unit?
and 1 more thing they said it spoilt coz 'kena kilat'
i felt weird because before it spoilt, no raining or thunder etc..
how come it spoilt?
and they wanna charge me araound rm900++ including labour
is it reasonable?

Gree and Midea a/cond are commonly seen in china.

Probably avoid the claim kua.

Normally spare parts is abit expensive than the whole unit. In this case better get a new 1.

Did the technician show you what was fried? usually when fried by lightning you see some burn marked.
