Nah, my next plan if it happen again, buy another 1.5hp and install, if that happen again, change the copper hose. Dam this will be costly because mine are concealed piping. I just hope worse case is only the a/c unit not the piping.

My contractor, only this unit having problem. Sigh. Other 5 units no problem.

If only given this two brand. York will definitely be my choice.

York good in fast cooling, but bit noisy. Living room is ok, as the noise not noticeable in living room.

28c, is much better use ventilation fan suck air from outside and get fresh air too, it can even go lower, someone 25c, and occasionally is around 27±

Panasonic got this function too, even on non inverter.
But I found it bad when sleeping, when I switch this function on, it raised the temperature and feel stuffy. My sleeping temperature usually 23 to 24. If it raised another 2c feel stuffy. I switch this function off.

Maybe daikin can sense sleeping and still remain the original temperature.

I am using one unit, it sense movement lah. When you move around the room the light will indicate which section are having movement.

The net need to be wash every month, if leaving it unwashed, the Ac cooling coil will be very dirty, and cooling capacity will be affected. Also making coil corrodes easily.

How long is long? There is a max distance for each compressor installation. Read the spec, also need to fill in mor gas if you want to go into Max length. This also depend how the installer install, some use good termal insulator the looses will be minimal. Many use normal insulator with put two pipe into same insulator, looses will be high.

If you want to put at the rear of your house, extend the a/c hp. If you intend to put 2.0, put 2.5.

If you are using a/c frequent like daily 8 hours or more, Wash the filter every 2 weeks, and service minimal once a year. This increase the a/c life span and reduce the risk of leaking. Is also good to blow the drain pipe to clear of the "jelly" build up when you service your a/c.

Also pipe need to be install correctly, pipe gradient is very critical.

I install mine on top of the TV, well i don't switch on switch on my living room a/c everyday, to me dripping really not an issue. If A/C need to be service, easu just move the TV away, mine just hook on the wall bracket. My uncle house also have a/c on top of TV, been using for so many years any not a sigle drop of water from A/C.

15x55 as in Meter or ft?

Your living room a/c, you intend to run long hours? If living room are open area the inverter may not be helpful if is at big area.

You can actually put inverter pipe, and use non inverter a/c

I doubt so, is like having thicker pipe doing the same job. You can ask your installer, they can advice. The installer will put in an adaptor to reduce the size if it too big.

I only got to know this after I Put in all my copper piping. Another installer told me he did it.

Sorry no idea. For my case, i put 2 units, 1x 2hp + 1x 1hp. If not enough switch on the 2nd unit. Easier to control. As I like cold

If only units no installation you can try ss2 legend.

I got all my Ac there.

They outsourced the installation, this kind of shop is better get own installer. You pay higher but better quality. Is the same for SS2 Legend. They are seller not installer.

Something to take note, Purchase from electrical shop that come with installation, don't expect good workmanship. They outsourced the installation, and can't control the quality.

You buy from them is ok, i don't used their installer. They are specialized air cond installer. I brought all my Ac from legend, use another specialize installer. Actually the outsourced installer can do better job.

Or you can ask the shop introduce you a more professionals installer. Is usually much more expensive.

If the Ac is under-spec it will use more electricity. Because it need to run longer to achieve the cooling state. If over spec you can still adjust the temperature to higher, of course not too much over spec. My living area and dining area are join, I use 2hp for living area and 1hp for dining area. Usually only switch in the 2hp if we just watch TV and set the temperature to 24. And if got gathering usually switch both on and find just nice.
