6" only need to extend hose??? compromise the overall aircond efficiency ah?? My compressor is farrrrr away. the hose are embedded a lonnggg length. ..

Update here guys.
I just shifted my Air Cond 6" to the right.
Let me tell you, its hard work (the installer and me too- I do the clean up).
It took the guy 4.5 long hours ..
He went outside to the compressor and disconetted the wires while carefully shut off the gas pipes. (If not careful, you lose gas and then have to refill - +++ cost)
Then he disconetted the wires and pipes to unmounted the internal unit from the wall.
Un nailed the base bracket from the wall.
After studying the existing pipes and wires, he started hacking the wall around the pipes.
(The room was dusty like crazy)
extended the length of copper pipe (2 pcs) with extra longer copper pipes via on-site welding.
Covered the extended copper pipes length with new insulation.
Nailed the base bracket to the new shifted location
extended the PVC water pipes with new pipe extension.
Re mounted the internal unit to the new base bracket.
Connected the extended copper pipes.
Further covered again the copper pipes (ehre the pipe connecter are with new insulation.
Re connected the wires which needed another extension (not long enough)
Re conectted the extended water pipe.
(the big hacked hole in the wall is left bare - i gotta get another guy to cover it with cement-he do not do this)
- all the above is done by the installer balanced all the while on a ladder
Went outside to reconnect the wires and gas pipes to the to the compressor .
After all done, the unit perform better than before shifting (no more smqll ticking noise)
The guy (installer) look totally exhausted after the job is done.
Cost me RM 350.00
