Best is to get the supplier/ installer of the aircon that you intend to get to take a look at the piping and wiring. He should be the best person to advice.

Just found out that Panasonic is having a promotion where you can extend the warranty period for your Pana AC for another 2 years for RM50 per year. (for 1HP)
The 1.5 HP will be slightly more.

Recently, I am now facing some noise problem (when the vents are set to swing) on 2 of my Pana AC. Reported the problem to Pana and they got their agent and also sent their own technician to look at them. 3 times already. Even after changing the controller board plus the discharge grille. The noise come back after a day or two.

It is from the blower unit. Noise comes about when the air vents are moving up & down and sideways. More like some friction in the moving parts. However, the noise is not constant. Most likely when the vent is at certain direction or what. Anyway, it is quite irritating especially at night. So as temp measure, had to turn off the air vent swing.

The previous pana model that I had for a few years is OK.
For the newer model, still having noise problem from the blower unit on 2 of the 4 units.
Even the Pana's technician have yet to resolve the problem

the Pana aircon models that I am having problem with right now are CU-C9MKH & CU-12MKH.
After numerous complains, pana send someone that does installation. They attempted twice and even after changing the parts, the noise came back after a few days.
Then after our complain again, Pana sent their technician. This time they tried something else. Was not around when they came. It seems, one of the Pana technician said that if the problem still persist, then have to live with it or don't use the function (meaning to not allow the air swing to move) WTF!

Actually, buying a expensive AC does not mean you have a good product. Sometimes, boils down to luck. I got Pana AC for the whole house. End up there were some problem with few of them and their after sales service sucks.

Buy another 4 sets of aircon.

OK. you could use those PVC trunking (comes in 6' length each) cut them to the required length and cover up the exposed copper piping.

Care to share how York managed to solve the flipper noise problem?
Cos, on my Pana aircon have the noise with the air swing. They came 5 times to repair (putting grease, etc, etc)
Till now, still having the noise after few hours of usage. And the aircon are in the bedrooms. Damn irritating

Thanks for the reply. Noticed that your repair was just a few days old...
BTW, mine are wall units. Cos mine immediately after it was done by the Pana technicians, it was OK for a day or two. After that the noise came back again. Probably because the grease that they applied during their attempts has dried up... After few attempts, they even tried to blame it on the circuit board and replace it with no success...

I would think on the contrary. The 4 units of Pana AC that I have recently installed are giving problems. Thus ending up having to pay extra to extend the warranty.

Anyone can recommend reliable 1HP split unit air conditioner? Brand & Model, pls.
Just need a basic unit. No need for the inverter, ioniser, etc.
Any indication on the price and where to get?
Thanks

pay for 1HP and get 1.5HP AC... good what

How long have you been using the midea AC?
Where did you got it at this price?

From what I have found out, for basic unit without all those inverter or what not, 1HP aircon, can get around RM900 each. Can try Panasonic, York/ Ascon, etc

To see the actual product of the various brands, etc...
D'Legend & SenQ are some of them.

For best price, you could also look up these LYN forumers iamsobloodysick & cam40729

12ft would be a bit too long. May have to make into 2 sections.
Can check up with these guys. They installed them in my office..

Sorry, don't have the price off hand. This was done few years ago...
Why don't you try contacting them?

Varies, depending on the shop; from RM130 to RM200
This is for standard installations which include 10' copper piping (not conceal), compressor bracket & control wiring.
Additional length of copper piping will be charge

If you need to run the power supply from the DB, then have to get electrician to do. around RM150/point

Have seen some sub standard wiring where the installer take the power from the nearest 13A power point; which I feel is not proper. Maybe this are done by the aircon installers
