Scrapped my 5 year old McQuay system 4 and replaced with a Mitsubishi Heavy Industry system 3 this May. So far so good. No complains. MHI sys 3 was in my mind too... when did you bought it? S.M. at GC initially intro this MHI sys 3 to me.. around 2800 plus too... then when i went to another GC, another S.M told me they received a quite a few complaints on sounds like pss pss sounds dunnno from the sys or the A/c pipe.... can you share if there is any such psss psss sounds? and intro me to Hitachi... (malaysia made).... however, Me ended up getting Toshiba... cause all the 3 brands (ME/ MHI and Toshiba), after calculating... M.E used up more $ in electricity than MHI and Toshiba...  |

OIC, so the final price paid is $2599 (including gst)?, from GC? 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. |

Hi, I'm planning to get a new aircon system install to my new flat. Attached is my floor plan. It's either a sys 2 or 3 for the bedrooms only but as you can see bedroom 2 is detached away. Any advice on installing? Installing materials should be standard, 16mm with R410A and G23...1/2" pipe? Thanks.

Thanks. 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....... |

Guys, any recommendation for this system? B4 finalising your Aircon deal (sys 2 or 3) , should get a patience SM to calculate the estimated price of the electricity bill (if you know how to calculate the price of electricity then diy)... like to on it for a period of 8hrs per day on a 30 days........ compare it with a few other brands like Hitachi, Toshiba, Samsung, LG, MHI... make sure they are having similar BTU for the comp.... and similar FCU too... then you can better decide... at first... i was also all out for ME, despite of the Xpensive $$......... |

hi allesgute
MHI is great, no regrets! It have the self-cleaning dryer feature and the left/right air flap control which are what i wanted. ME dun have these two features and daikin only have the dryer feature. I choose MHI is becos it's the 2nd most energy saving among the 3 brands. When i was doing my research, i consider that mechanical features was more important than those filters features as i could buy a seperate air purifier, but flap control and dryer feature can't be bought seperately. I did a energy comparision for toshiba single split. Full load energy cost $ 470(ACV model), $458(AV-E) Daikin $404, MHI $392, ME $331
