Your sys 2 is 2 x 9k or 2 x 12k? Piping concealed inside walls or above ceiling?

The popular ones are Daikin and Mit. If you are talking about sys 4 (3 x 9, 1 x 18) 3 bedrooms and 1 living. Will be around $3.8-$4k.
New brand Midea also have sys 4. Depends on whether you are open to Midea. Their sys 4 around 20-25% cheaper then most popular brands.
Energy saving wise, i feel all brands inverter are energy saving, maybe difference of 5-10% in terms of amp consumption, which is not to big of a concern.

Daikin 3MKS50ESG cool enough ?

Hi I am looking to replace my non-inverter Daikin air con, because of electric consumption is very high and also the air con itself is old and start giving problem.

I am interested with Daikin 3MKS50ESG or Mitsubishi Heavy Industry SCM60ZJ-S.

My questions :
Is Daikin 3MKS50ESG, 17060BTU, cool enough for 3 HDB bedrooms in Singapore ? Every dealer that I called said it can only cool 2 rooms, yet this is system 3 from Daikin.

How is the quality of Mitsubishi Heavy Industry vs Daikin ?

Hdb rooms in general require abt 6-7k btu cooling capacity.
3mks50esg has around 18k btu. It is a sys 3. Its suitable for owners who on 1-2 rooms daily. But the 3rd room (study room or guest room) is used less often.
If u install 3mks50, u on 3 rooms at the same time, it will be cooling but not every cold (as in room temp reach 20-22) Maybe your room can reach 23-25.
U may consider 3mkd75dvm (r22) or Mit Electric 3a28. Similar costing as 3mks50.

Thank you for the reply. How about Mitsubishi Heavy Industry SCM60ZJ-S ?
Any opinion about this ?

It's btu capacity should be similar to 3mks50esg.
If price is similar, get Daikin 3mks50. If MIT cheaper by > $200, then u might want to consider MHI.

We should clean the filters every 2-3 weeks.
And get people to service every 3-6 months, depending on your usage rate.

Hi Terumo,
Thank you for the response. I was overseas without internet access recently.

Another questions :
Since I have existing bracket from my old Daikin A/C, can I use the old bracket ?
Most dealer told me that I must replace the old bracket even if I install new Daikin.
