Daikin has bought over the OYL Manufacturing Sdn Bhd which currently manufacturing air conditioners for Daikin, York, Acson and McQuay.

You just gauge yourself how much different in term of the quality among all these products!

Hi all. My husband planned to install few units of Daikin brand non inverter ac for the new house as he got the info saying that Daikin ac has good quality material. However myself I would like to pick York brand becoz my colleagues comment York has very good & fast cooling effect. Any end users or sifu mind to share your experience & opinion?

p/s read from above saying that daikin ac need special wiring? Currently my new house is having all the ac wiring & piping. So means all cannot use daikin ac?
Thanks!

My Panasonic just had it dismental 2nd time since install. The gas go empty after about 6 months, this is the 2nd 6th month happen again. Panasonic technician came over on Monday did visual inspection and soap test only, say no problem ask me to call back the installer because the leak due to the low pressure coupling outdoor unit. Today had it service and redo the coupling.  Ah well, can't tell if its the installation problem or A/C unit problem. Give it another 6 months and see.  But by than my Panasonic will be out of warranty.

Still can't blame whos fault is it. If the gas leak again, I'll change this unit to other brand and do pressure check on the copper hose.

Tiny gas leak is really hard to check.

Hi,
May I know the pros and cons of Panasonic and Daikin A/C (inverter type)? Was told that Panasonic is noisy taken longer time to cool gas more expensive and etc......

So on performance which one is better?
I presume as Daikin is cheaper, so is less branded??

Haven't had my Daikins breakdown on me yet... these days Daikins are all export quality as they are sourced from Thailand so I seriously doubt their build quality can be worse than locally assembled Yorks or Panasonics. I know some aircond installers grumble because the compressors are freaking huge. Also the wiring is different from other air conds and in theory should be less prone to the PCB frying compared to York. Another reason some air cond installers may not like Daikin is that usually these are serviced directly by their own technicians so less chance for outsiders to cari makan from them....
So far in use I find they are extremely quiet so no complaints so far. However if you are the super impatient type who wants the aircond to blast cold air at you the moment you switch it on, please don't get Daikins: Daikins take their own sweet time to power up.

One more thing starmex got easy clean design to access into fan blower to clean on blower blade easily.

Just imaging on stand fan after 3 months of usage can see a lot of dust stick on fan blade.
