some place charge for extra length of pipping... so make sure that you get the salesman to confirm that the free installation comes with free pipping regardless of length... cause from your floormap, quite a distance from Air/con Comp.
Also got to take into consideration if you want to hide your trunks? as if you put out, your house will look full of truckings. if you hide it... when Air/con got problem... hard to dianogse if pipe is leaking... so think twice.......
surely there is somewhere is leaking.. did they use something to detect for leak?Some posts ago, I mentioned that I purchased a Hitachi aircon system from Gain City. Whatever good comments I made, I stand corrected.
It's only 6 months later and my air con no longer blows cold air for all the fan coil units.
I called Hitachi who immediately sent out a technician. He said that it was due to the installation and not the compressor unit. Gain City should check the connection to each fan coil to see if gas was leaking.
Well the team from Gain City came (after much shouting over the phone - they wanted to send a technician about 4 days later), they removed the trunking but couldn't find anything wrong. So they added coolant and the aircon was fine for about an hour, then I tried turning it on today and no cold air for all the units.
Sigh...they can only send a more experience team to test the gas pressure next week. If I want immediate service I will get the same inexperienced team.
And I paid extra for higher quality piping etc..
What crap. I did not have a problem at my old house where Natural Cool installed my LG which ran fine for 6 years.
No confidence in Gain city...and to some extent Hitachi as it is only sold through Gain City.
yup..saving is more from Hitachi on full load.Seem Hitachi RAM-65Q8 are more saving when using full load.

yup..saving is more from Hitachi on full load.
BUT than in overall, Panasonic might be more saving than Hitachi.
the reason is:
-panasonic cools the room faster than hitachi.
-thus lesser time on full load.
-therefore lesser time on full load would save some money.
nope.. its Daikin system4 non-inverter.Yo bro!
You currently using Panasonic Envio System3 air-con right?
So far so good? any small review on it? I intend to get it.
Thx
Hi guys,
My friend was recently recommended an LG system 3 non-inverter for $1650 @ a shop called Best Tech, IMM branch.
The price seems alot cheaper compared to other shops like gain city ($1850/ with old aircon trade-in) and another shop which quoted $1900 (including installation).
It seems that they are also offering a better quality of rubber tubing (called K-Flex) FOC.
Does anyone have any experience with the shop, or should i stick with an established shop?
No. From Best Tech.
Did read some negative reviews from the forum. But went ahead with the installation any way.
Compressor I think 36K BTU. Need to check the spec to confirm.
Fan coil is 9000 each.
No upgrade for pipes, just install with whatever they provide.
Just purchased the Mitsubishi Inverter System 3 from Gain City IMM. 22K+10K+10K BTU.
My MHI system 3 inverter installed by Best Tech.
The "tau chiu" doing the installation is abit unfriendly, but after packing lunch and a packet cigarettes for him and his "kah kia", they did a pretty good job.
Have not try their after sales service yet.
MHI compressor is freaking huge. There is only a 2 inch clearance between the window panel and the top of the compressor, when the window is open.
Do take note when installing.
You set high fan speed during cool mode operation @ nite.
Is your fancoil unit installer near a door?
to wat i tink, it shouldnt gets condensation when set to any speed.Hi CHunliang,
Thanks for your inputs.
Hi terumo, it worked. Have set to high fan speed, no more water droplets on the louvers.
IS this due to weak fan speed, not blowing all the cold air out thus resulting in condensation on the louvers? But higher fan speed = high electricity consumption?
Yup FCU is about 2m away from door.
ok..thanks for the gd info!Setting higher fan speed on any fancoil will not affect the electrical bill in a big big way.
One fancoil fan motor when running will draw ard 0.1-0.2amp depending on fan speed.
Your compressor when cut in, we talk about invertor compressor running 2 fancoil of 9k btu each will draw ard say 3-6 amp depending on load.
6amp (outdoor) vs 0.2amp (indoor), a lot of difference?
So its ok to set high fan speed as it will cool down the room faster and enable the compressor to cut off faster thus resulting in energy saving in a way or so. This is my views.
The Daikin Ma56 comes pre charged with ard 2.3kg of gas. Even if its connected to 1,2,3 or even 4 fancoil. The 2.3kg of gas will be enough and does not need to release gas for sys 2 or 3 as there are 4 expansion valve for each for the fancoils to regulate gas flow. If you on just 1 unit of 9k btu, the compressor stills draws ard 7amp of current (ard 21k btu) and the remaining 13k btu is wasted thus Ma56 is non-invertor cos the compressor is single speed compared to invertor where the compressor can run on different speeds according to many conditions like how many units on, room temp and remote temp.
