Talk about aircon

[Law_ong]

technic then was high-end, panasonic is average mah..

when we be consolidated together too huh?

[Blue2]

yup 1 high end 1 so call "lower" brand...

thus this 2 "brand" is like they are completing against each other....

 

So u 1 2 be "high end" and I am the " lower" brand [laugh]

[Law_ong]

i think i prefer lower brand supporting u at high end...some time it's nice to view from bottom up...

[Law_ong]

anything but Carrier, not that the air-con is not cold, but their aftersale service suck..

Sanyo and National not bad....

 

fujitsu is another brand I wouldn't recommend.

 

Not sure whether was it the poor installation or poor QC for the unit... The 1 year 2 month a/c units I have in my club broke dow a few times within a year.

 

it comes with 10 yr warranty right....got problem repairing??

[Modykoh]

can you check with them the maintainace cost for invert type? is it higher?

how about the realibility ? tks..

[Turbonetics]

Mitsubishi is good for Air-con and refrigerator, yes they are very good, but the price also very nice...

 

iam actually looking at LG with mirror finishing one.

very nice,but don't know if reliable or not.

it got 4 ticks.

[Freestylers09]

think i mention last time dun get fuji liao

 

fuji system are cheap..BUT parts are ex..

 

Panasonic is catching up...York is another not bad one

[Freestylers09]

actually depends what temperature u set...not say how long u on...1 fan coil set at 18 degree for 3-4 hrs vs 1 fan coil set at 24 degree for 10 hours..overal might same consumption also...

I was told that Toshiba aircons are actually Carrier (taken over by Toshiba or something like that). Is it also true that for inverter a/c, there's a tendency for quite a number of sensors to spoil?

 

They some JV or something like that.

 

I have been using my ac for 4yr+, so far, only 1 blower unit "motherboard" needed to be replaced. The compressor is fine.

 

I got the Toshiba partly bec I visit a friend often and am surprised that the unit cools the place rather fast. Her ac is working fine and is into its 6th yr.

 

Suggest you take a look at ac when u visit other pple homes and get feedback. Nothing like being an actual user.

 

Remember to consider the compressor BTU. One reason why I opted for Toshiba was bec during the time I searched for ac, most were 22k BTU. If your place have 3 bedrooms like to use ac at night, that is about 27k.

mine came with a 1 year warranty..

 

Repairing is not a problem, but didn't expect it to be so often..

[Law_ong]

older batch? my cousin's fujitsu split 3 came with 10yrs warranty and its has the highest btu in its class..

[Hishercar]

I hate diakin

 

they probably eaten me >10K for about 8 years on repairs

 

each time must change something

 

 

 

the last time one tiny sensor cannot detect which would cost just a few cents ask me to change who mother board

 

which would cost me close to $400 and that could buy me a new blower

 

next time I see the Daikin boss I will shaft the Daikin blower up his ......

[Gadgeter]

the one for my club is cassette type..

[Law_ong]

oic...change change..

[Sabian]

Daikin that jialat?

u wanna shove it up his

 

I think the fujitsu mentioned with 10yr warranty sounds good but read if got any clauses. If I were looking for ac, I might check out fujitsu.

[Gadgeter]

just renew the maintenance contract.

[Law_ong]

hmm..sometime before the depreciation is up, change new asset rather than renewing maintenance contract is much easier to get budget and less hassle in facing system breakdown..

[Davidklt]

go for the panasonic on with air purifier.
