yeah.. that's what i heard from my a/c guy too. So better choose Mitsubishi or Pana.. you wont want a noisy a/c while ur sleeping

York, Acson & Daikin are from the same manufacturer - OLY Manufacturing

Don't be surprise when Mitsubishi aircon's compressor starts making noise after few years of usage. That's what happen to mine

just want to share with u guys...i asked few wiringman cum aircond about daikin, they never heard this brand or install daikin before ...what's a joke

just wanna ask u guy..if my living + dining area for my condo ...size 12ft * 24 ft.....how many horsepower needed? 1.5 or 2.0?

For aircon sizing, you could try looking here...

http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=room..._properly_sized

The sizing on this website very conservative. My current room is about 240sqft, it say 7,000 enough. My current 1HP only "ngam ngam", maybe my ideal temperate is always set to 20c

Actually, I also did not use them

cos I do not need very low temperature.
All bedrooms - 1HP
Living & Dining - 1.5 HP

These 2 links might be informative for you all too

I don't like 24c, feel stuffy to me. My minimal is 23.

The sizing of aircon HP will depend on the location of the room. Is the room directly below a roof, facing West, etc?

Having said that, a rough rule of thumb method that I was told.
For bedroom, use between 30-40
For Living, use between 40-50
(use the higher figure if you require lower temp)

1. Multiply the floor area with the above figures.
2. Then divide them with 8000.

This should give a rough HP for the aircon.

Im interested to get this ECONAVI Panasonic Air-Conditioner


Any comments?
The price are slightly higher than those normal aircons.



An Air Conditioner Featuring ECONAVI Intelligent Sensors:

Detects the presence and location of people in the room to eliminate wasted cooling and maximize airflow toward room occupants.
Detects the absence of people in the room and automatically increases the set temperature to minimize wasted electricity.
Senses the amount of activity in the room, increasing or decreasing cooling power based on low, normal, or high levels of movement.
Reduces energy consumption by up to 30%*1.[I]

Good and reliable for the price you pay.
I am also using them

How much did you buy for the ECONAVI, any shops recommended?

Forgotten the exact amount. Will check the receipt tonight and PM you later.

THANKS TAIKO

Btu/h 9,550 (2,860 -11,200)
kW 2.80 (0.84-3.28)
Power Input 760W (225-920)

Any 1 know calcuate the running cost/Hour for 1HP aircond?

Let say the unit price 1KWH = 0.40.

Not easy because inverter load depend on temperature set, external temperature, area enclosure, and thermal efficiency of the area you install.

Im using York,so far it works pretty awesome,the cold is just like the first time i bought it,followed by the up-to-date services

OK. Maybe i don't use inverter type.

Let say the normal 1HP power = 900W. I did check with Panasonic site non-inverter power.

1) Firstly, calculate the energy consumption in kWh
kWh = 900 W x 1 h = 0.9 kWh/1000

2) Secondly, calculate the cost of energy per hour
Energy Cost = 0.9 kWh x $ 0.40 = $0.36/Hour

* i used the $0.40 because the current usage with 1 aircond(myself) is reach 500kWhper month.
(for the pass 2 year never over 500KWH).

And now my new housemate install the new 1HP aircond + water heater, so i m going to tell them how much they should expect to pay me MORE. Currently they just pay RM20/person for electric + water.
So impossible i going to cover aircond usage for RM20/person.

I want to conceal my aircond piping into the wall, I understand that this is on my own cost, which is not included in the free installation. Anyway, to conceal the piping (around 20 fts), they charge me RM350. Is this price reasonable?

My house is a condo.

how bout toshiba aircond?
