Thanks for your response kelvyn. Where do you think I could get the most array of choices? I live in Subang...any place close by which gives me ample choice to look at? Harvey Norman doesn't have enough for my liking.

A related item here...
I think every air conditioned room should consider getting a humidifier

It helps counter the drying effect of an air cond in the room.

I used to wake up in my air cond room with a dry scratchy feeling in my throat.

After using this, throat feels fine after a night in the air cond room. thumbup.gif

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??

Update here guys.

I just shifted my Air Cond 6" to the right. nod.gif

Let me tell you, its hard work (the installer and me too- I do the clean up). rclxub.gif
It took the guy 4.5 long hours .. sweat.gif
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 rclxub.gif

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) thumbup.gif

The guy (installer) look totally exhausted after the job is done.

Cost me RM 350.00
