Just got a quote from GC:
Mit Starmex Sys3 (3 x 9k + 24k)- $2979
Panasonic Envio Sys3 (3x 9k + 24k) - $2999
Comes with
23G copper piping
1/2" thinness insulation amarflex class 1
16mm drain pipe
4C40 wiring FCU to CU (Keystone)
Upgrade to 1/2" armaflex, need to top up $120.
Some questions:
- Starmex vs Envio, which would be a model to get?
- Is the 9k FCU sufficient for cooling the bedrooms (90sqm 4room BTO)? I saw some ppl opted for 12k FCU. Was told the upgrade cost from 9k - 12k is $50 or less.
- Is the GC deal ok? (e.g is the armaflex upgrade overpriced?)
Or would it be cheaper/better to get those aircon specialist companies instead? Like Coolserve, CT Aircon, etc.
There r a few aircon coy other than GC...
To Xeon_sg,
Mit Sys 4 $2979???
So cheap?
Any recommendations? 1st time owner/user for aircon, so not sure about the market players.
I wrote System 3, not system 4.
Me also 1st time install aircon..last jul...i jus see forum reviews n whack...didn go for established brands too....sort of risk taker...i didn go for HN,courts,BD,GC mayb is becos i thk they r less professional than those aircon services coy...go for those reliable one....mine is AD..
I wrote System 3, not system 4.
i see. Yes i agree, somehow i feel that those places outsource their installation teams. Abit hard to trace/rectify if there's issues.
AD is?
U wrote System 3, but the quote of "3 x 9k + 24k" refers to a System 4.. confusing lor..
To ipaq4444,
For ur requirements, 3a28 should be enough as a bedroom requires only 6-7k btu.
Hi Terumo,
Thank you, what about living room? my living room is 6 x 5 meter.
LG usually when brand new is quite cool and quiet operation, once turns to 2 yrs n above so got minor wear & tear then would be more headche like noisy or slow cold down issue or parts won't last longer than common Jap brands.
Don't buy Korean brands Air Con. Any Japs brands will do. Or follow the most common here, Mitsubishi...PanaSonic...Daikin....
I have maintenance contract for every quarter but also up lorry.
Compressor may not be the issue. Most give 5 years. The circuit board and control valves are 1 year. Replacing them is like changing compressor.
Mine is AD btw.
