huh!
Like this our nice TV very dangerous right. May i know what generic brand he recommend?

My Mitsubishi Electric 1.5 hp inverter aircon cool down my room temperature to 24 when I set the aircond temperature to 26.

Hisense, from China. It is one of the biggest consumer brands for electrical items, but it is not very established in Malaysia. My only worry is the parts availability but it is very cheap ($800 RM with 10 feet piping and installation) so I just bought 5 units of 1 hp and 1 unit of 1.5 hp to try out.

It is nice design/layout on paper.

But once air-cond getting old time, the position may cause hassle in term of leaking water (when drain pipe clogged with dust, quite common), want to to maintenance time or cleaning time, that TV set may be blocking the passage etc.
Not to mention the danger of leaking water drop into TV/electrical items.

From own experience and preference, I never want install air-cond above TV set in living and on top of bed.

I worrying about this. We don't know when aircond will leaking after use few year. Will try don't put TV above hope find it.

This brand i see before but mostly will not choose this brand.

Hope this brand is okay. It is selling quite well at my area.

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.

My house not so big just 15 x 55 landed only. I plan install 2.0 hp inverter.

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?

feet

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

We normally not always on aircond. maybe 3-4 hrs per day or maybe less than that. I planning all bedroom also install inverter 1hp & living 2hp total 4 aircond. that why i think all compressor install behind house.

i was just like you, considering portable aircon and surveying around but you must know one thing, portable aircon is VERY NOISY and there's an exhaust hose that you will need to channel it to the outdoor to dispose the hot air. Unless you drill a hole on the wall or at the window, if u are just goin to leave it at the door by opening the door a bit, your room will never be cold, it will be mostly cooling only and that also with the condition the aircon is facing you.

Suggestion, why dun u set one of the bedroom as the guest room and fix a reasonable priced aircon there. So whenever there's guest all use that room la. ok what ?

Mr Slim is by MELCO and Mistsubishi HEavy Industry is another entity that sell heavy duty aircon but cheaper.

Whoever told you that Mitsubishi Air Con won't cool down as much as they claim, there's only 3 reason :

1. They don't own a Mitsubishi Aircon before
2. They bought the wrong BTU and HP for the wrong size of the room
3. They are trying to sell you other brand

wah tht's overpower yeah =D but how do u know its 24?do u have a thermommeter in d room

d a/c installer said 1....owh so if i wanna buy mr slim, its manufactured by MELCO?
are air cons by Mitsubishi Heavy Inndustries any good?

Very noisy mean like a machine vibrating sound?
I can't set specifically for the guest room as I wish to use it as I wish to use as my activities room (surf net, listening music and exercise room.

What's in my mind is i can use the portable aircond so that I'm more flexible to it where I can use in my dining place and main hall if guest come or hot.

Any suggestion or I just install one first then only decide later to install in other places. I just wonder if I wanna install couple if a/c, I believe I have to change the whole electric box to cater higher power in future.

Thanks for both of your reply. I checked the link willius gave and my btu is 31,000? So need like 3 hp aircon?
Anyway, I just bought the Mitsubishi 3D aircon 2hp and it cools really fast. I only set it to 26 degrees in the afternoon and by night, I can increase it to 27 degrees. I have to turn it on all day as the northern weather is scorching hot (can get as high as 41 degrees) and my sitting room happened to face the afternoon sun .
The salesman says that it saves electricity but I haven't checked my bill consumption yet. Will report end of the month. Hopefully it's not too high. I'm also starting to plant trees for shades.
