While I was shopping for a new aircon, a salesman informed me that the new Starmex system 3 (5 ticks) compressor tends to be abit noisy. As I will be hanging it outside my master bedroom he suggested to use the older model (2ticks). Therefore, I would like to know from owners of the new Starmex aircon whether there is any truth in this or is the salesman trying to pull a fast one on me.
I have just installed a new starmex 5 tick system 3 last month (Dec 2015). As the compressor is just outside my master room, I can indeed hear very loud noise coming from the trunking inside my room that was just connected to the compressor outside on the aircon ledge especially if all 3 blower are running (3 blowers running at minimum fan speed and set at 25 deg C.) If the blower is running at max fan speed, the noise at the trunking near the compressor is really very loud.
However, the noise is not so loud if only 1 blower is running but still can be heard in the middle of the night when the surroundings is very quiet.
As we only switch on the aircon during hotter days/nights and it is more energy efficient, I just have to live with the noise.
My system is MXY3G28VA compressor + MSXYFJ10VE blower (x 3 units)
