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.

york is good...spare part easy...most office use york

Hi may I know which York model you got and the price breakdown individually please? Thks.

Is hitachi plasma series (non-inverter) good ?

If they want to avoid, many reason will comeout if you don't no about technical. Unless get a another technician to verify.

Midea's compressor is actually Toshiba Carrier's compressor
Toshiba Acquires Midea Air Conditioning.

I thought they JV, not acquired?

The previous pana model that I had for a few years is OK.
For the newer model, still having noise problem from the blower unit on 2 of the 4 units.
Even the Pana's technician have yet to resolve the problem
