I've just bought myself 4 MHI (Deluxe series) air-conds. 3 SRK10 and 1 SRK19.... Hopefully it's the right decision. Sales person claimed the SRK19 (2HP) can blow up to 18meters away.

Just get a quote from my contractor for cost of air cond installation as below:

1. Conceal and install copper piping for 3HP cassette air cond (30ft) - RM800
2. Conbceal and install copper piping for 1.5HP air cond (105ft) - RM2310.
3. Conceal and install copper piping for 1.0hp air cond (75ft) - RM1800
4. To install 1 hp air cond - RM120 each
5. To install 1.5hp air cond - RM150 each
6. to install 3.0hp cassette air cond - RM350 each.

* all these air cond are non-inverter.

What you think about this pricing? Expensive or ok? Thanks for sharing!

I am having a problem.

Developer had ready with the copper pipe and everything conceal in the walls....
however, I m only afford to buy two airconds at master room and living hall....

but, there there two more points at room 2 and room 3....how do you cover the piping? can i use back the gas pipe after three years or even more? if I didnt tape the holes, i afraid "lipas" will go in and block the holes in future....

so, any idea? Tq

tq....

my wife want to seal it forever....she said not nice.....but, i want it to be kept......it is wasted if seal it forever...haha.....

U can ask your ac man to cut it short n cover with a nice pic/ drawing.
Next time u want to install ac just extend by welding the copper piping…

Copper pipe is brazing. Not solder or weld. Dont bend it I agree. Warp the outlet with muskin tape and outdoor side put plastic bag. Get your AC installer to vacuum kao kao during installation. Just leave it there and dont cut. Poor brazing work will result in leakage. What they do in factory is that after they braze the will usually test the brazing point with a 450 to 600 psi pressure depending on pipe thickness. I doubt that your AC man can do that. Do not cut.

Really sorry for the confusion. Actually I need to install 7 units of aircond : 1 2.5HP Cassette (according to my contractor, the installation cost is the same as 3HP, so, he quote me 3HP price), 3 1.5HP and 3 1HP. Very headache now. Install aircond also damn expensive!

benefit is u just buy one aircond and use it everywhere....

the drawbk,i think how to dissipate heat

i m considering, hvnt buy yet

haha..sound so comical  ...drag around the house..

I tot of getting one for dining..just in case..Coz of the location of the aircon at the living, by the time dining is cold enough, living may be a liitle too cold for comfort..

i also dont know..i think it just went right out the back like our pc....havent survey

Ok thanks, I will go and see..but wont buy now..need to buy other necessity first..

Bro, since mine is non inverter AC, there should not be any problem, right??

    ...42btu which is 2HP is just nice for those who do not wan a ''arctic'' kind of cooling condition...I do recommend a 3HP for a PERFECT condition which is 28,661 BTU...equivalent to 55.437/hr/sq.ft...offered by MITSUBISHI or 27,000BTU for Panasonic...

Different house got different heat builds up in the room each hour...this all will affected by various condition such as air cond circulation for example an aircond which is placed wrongly at the very corner of the room...number of windows...room insulation...number of people an so on...so the number of aircond u hav doesn't mean that other ppl need that quantity too...if ur standard is arctic cool standard than go get few 6HP ac...

Enough... 

Hi,

I'm planning to buy aircon for my master bedroom and at first thinking of using 1.5HP, then some friends came to my house and mentioned they use 1.0 only for their room which is about my size.

Here's the layout of my room, measurement in cm. The line in red color are the windows (3 panels and not tinted) and there's a walk in wardrobe (with sliding door) and inside the wardrobe is the toilet. The blue color area is where I'm going to put my aircon. I moved it from its original point above the window to make place for full length curtains. There's a ceiling fan in the middle of the room.



It's very warm in the afternoon, that I don't dare to take afternoon nap in it on weekends. During dry days (which is very frequent nowadays), it's warm at night too. I just want to maintain my room temperature at around 22 to  24 degrees.

Is 1.0 sufficient for my case? And is HP going to affect the noise it make?

I have this question. I need to shift my air cond six inches to the right.
With the hose at the back, is it possible?
If yes any cost estimate??

so conclusion which AC is good? less sound and save electricity + no hassle for maintenance.
