Are you sure? Have you been using york before? My office using 2unit 3hp york aircon. Noisy.   Got 1 unit new straight away the fan give noisy sound after instal. Ask the technician fix it. He said is like that one.

If I not mistaken, the carrier EER rotary comp is from panasonic. 

Hi, You buying from which shop?
thanks

My first aircon is panasonic 1hp. Use around around 8yrs. No problem. I service by myself. But I change it to bigger HP. Use back panasonic cause it more reliable.   Others is hitachi, mitsubishi, sanyo.

Here's a very simple excel calculator I put together to give a very rough idea of electricity usage and cost. It does take take into consideration EER or anything, just simple wattage only (assume same btu rating). Download the attached zip file. Open the excel file and change the fields in yellow. You can then compare Units A and B etc. Hope is useful to give rough idea.

For a more elaborate one, go to the energystar website and download the excel savings calculator. It is intended for USA use but you can change the states (number of hours) to suit the number of hours you use your aircond closest to your own usage.

is a zip file, unzip then use excel lor. i use excel 2007.

ok please try again, i re-uploaded in 2003 format. I really regret not buying the York in terms of savings in eletricity usage. But no point now, I think I want to move the Sharp to the infrequently used small guest room and then install either Panasonic or York in my own room.

That why I choose back the panasonic. No reason for me to change others brand.  Time will tell.

i never see daikin for sale here. The installer did a very good job with my sharp, seal up everything nicely. i will ask him to do the other rooms too.

i'm staying at puchong.

Nope. where is it located? thanks.

Haha, ok. I will find it out. so the shop name is "Bintang"?
thanks.
Thanks. Will go to the thread to hv a look

haha okay.
is it somewhere here: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=3.0626799&lon=10...GK%20electrical

Daikin is good as it is very silent and durable. my office been using it and in the server room it is running 24/7 for the past 3 yrs without any problem whatsoever.

I used Daikin before.
I would say it cool really fast.
1HP 15 mins drop the temp from 32C to 27C.

KKW, Kuching.

I'm going aircond shopping again. So far I narrow down to normal York and Panasonic. I looked at the five star energy saving panasonic inverter which costs RM1450-RM1600. Compared to the normal ones which cost RM800 to RM900, using the simple excel calculator, it will take about 11 years to recover the price difference if I run for 4 hours per day every day, every year. Running at 8 hours per day, this then becomes 6 years. Running at 12 hours per day, 4 years and running every single day 24/7, it becomes 2 years. This is assuming the compressor runs at full load all the time (at max rated input power).

So for someone who infrequently uses aircond (my room is 27C at night without aircond but became 34-35C during the very unusual hot weather recently), a cheap non-inverted unit like normal panasonic or york suits me just fine.
