My compressor just broke down after 6 years. called Daikin and guess what, appointment for repair is 14 days later ! Nobody can tahan 2 weeks without aircon one.
One time charge is $129 (price increased 50%) not inclusive of component replacements.

Their thermistor also always spoil. The last time they came to replace my broken thermistor took total 3 months. Their aircon blower motor also not as strong nowadays, you find your aircon need more maintainence as the blower chokes easily. My greatest regrets in my renovation works is choosing Daikin. AVOID DAIKIN AT ALL COSTS.

Keyword: 6 years

it is time to buy a new aircon system
6 years is actually not a long time for a multi split system. THe daikin i bought in 2007 for my parents place lasted around 12 years. But this daikin i bought in 2016 is really regret. Its quality totally down the hill. The support which is the most important aspect of aircon service life also cmi.

mitsubishi electric is still the best. most people whose mitsubishi keep breakdown is because of poor piping installation. small diameter piping, many sharp bents all make yr compressor high load for nothing.

i used to work in a big ahbeng renovation coy. aircon manufacturer have this running hour lifetime, and mitsubishi electric has the highest. go figure

My Mitsubishi aircon 10 years now need to on 18 deg than cold.

aircon tech told me need to replace it but I moving house next year so just ignore and wait until it totally die off
Coolant too low? Just do a top up and it will be fine? Top up refrigerant is quite cheap.

Sorry to hear the bad experience u had bro.

sometimes buy electronic thing base on luck.
I last time bought two Samsung 50 inch lcd tv one of the 2 lasted one year plus and the other one till today still working fine 13 years already.

My Daikin aircon 6 to 7 years already still fine.
