Just finished installing 2 units of aircond. 1 Pana inverter S10MKH, 1 Samsung AV10.

Both 1HP. Samsung is RM1100, Pana RM1120. I think both are quite cheap. Bought from shops beside tesco Puchong.

Installation: RM250 = 2 wall hacks + 15 feet copper
another one: RM430 = 2 wall hacks + 23 feet copper

so installation is RM200 + RM10/feet

Install-day review:
Panasonic:
Smaller outdoor unit and quieter, more active feature like econavi/comfort, powerful/quiet function, auto/cool/dry mode, patrol control for dust detection/e-ion generation.

Samsung:
Larger outdoor unit, slightly noisy but i think still in quiet region. Got turbo mode, virus doctor, multiple filter for dust, germ and whatnot.

I installed Panasonic in my room, so I might be biased but I'd recommend Panasonic over Samsung.

I showed him a note on my phone that I get RM1180 from another shop(wasn't really my intention to haggle using it). He straight away offered RM1120 if take right away, cash.

This one for Inverter Deluxe Right? i.e S10NKH? I just called Onking subang branch and they said RM1200 excluding installation. Anyone has better price elsewhere for S10NKH?

@YJYYEE: I don't know. I even mention my friend recommend this shop coz he got at RM1030. He said not possible and asked if it's Inverter deluxe one. That's why I asked again here.

RM1150 seems like a good price. can share where do you get this?

@lingleeyen: Yeap I think 1200 is quite okay ady. Don't want to spend more time going here and there.

just came back from harvey normal. They have hitachi Inverter with free installation:

1hp: RAS-S10CZ RM1199
1.5hp: RAS-S13CY RM1599

I already bought Daikin Inverter 1HP RM1350 incl installation from Jintex for bedroom. Now considering to take 1.5hp for living room.

Anyone have thought about Hitachi's aircond? not really familiar with it.

oh okay.. thank for pointing that out. will search more

I'd suggest to call on them and ask for specified model price. Some can offer certain model cheaper than the rest.

Don't forget to share ya. Getting another one for living room later. Good luck!

It shouldn't affect much. at most, a few percent of efficiency different only.

I went on Onking bandar puteri. They quoted RM1610 for Pana inverter deluxe 1.5HP including installation. That's the best price I can find for Pana.

1250 + 150 installation from jintex last time.

Are they the same brand and make? Sometimes even with same manufacturer also have different btu for each unit. I don't think it's because gas type, but the compressor and mechanical difference.
