Hi all, I am new to buying aircon and have been reading this thread to learn more. Really appreciate people taking the time to give some advice, it is really very helpful.
I stay in mature estate, thinking of installing aircon for the three bed rooms (system 3). One air-con will be heavy usage, the other two probably on at night only (i.e. only at night will all 3 likely be on)
I'm currently deciding between:
1. MHI: Compressor SCM80YT-S, FCU SRK35ZSX3
- Compressor is rated for 8 KW, or 27300 BTU
- FCU is rated for 3.5 KW, or 12000 BTU
- Price is $3250 for standard installation with no upgrade
2. Daikin: Compressor MKS80TVMG, FCU 3XCTKS25TVMG
- Compressor is rated for 7.3 KW, or 25200 BTU
- FCU is rated for 2.67 KW, or 9000 BTU
- Price is $3349 for standard installation with no upgrade
These are packages sold by the bigger retailers. Idk if I have flexibility to upgrade to a bigger compressor. Is there such an option?
Anyway I am thinking about a third option by a smaller company:
3. MHI: Compressor SCM80YT-S, FCU SRK25ZSX3
- Compressor is rated for 8 KW, or 27300 BTU
- FCU is rated for 2.67 KW, or 9000 BTU
- Price is $3188 for standard installation with no upgrade
- The only downside is that the smaller retailer don't do credit card payment (quite nice to be able to chalk up the points now).
Which would you recommend? Is option 1 even viable for my usage?
