I can answered you because your config same as me but my living room is using MSY-GE13VA.

I got from GC at around the same price as you and paid about 100 bucks more for the 5 years warranty.

I had used it for 2 months and so far so good. Last check my electrical bill went up by 20 bucks...............:eek:

I using on average 8 hours everyday.

Means yours is system 3? I think my compressor can't add one more air con. They gave me five years warranty and 8 years parts or donno what

anyone know if this is normal - upgrade the cooling insulation for 1/2 inch but for the return pipe keep it as 3/8 ?

To ipaq4444,
If to choose 1 pipe out of 2 to be insulated, I will choose to insulate the return pipe to 1/2.
Discharge pipe can remain at 3/8.

Hi Terumo,

Thank you so much for responding! if i am to do this, will there be a very higher chance of condensation? like 20 - 30% more or only slight 5% more?

from experience, if all the pipe for a system 4 is based on 1/2 inch insulation can it fitted into a 3x 4 trunking?

To ipaq4444,

Best is insulate both.

And if 4 sets of piping with 1/2 insulation, cannot fit into 4 x 3 trunking, it will be squeezed and defeats the purpose of having thicker insulation in the first place.

Min 6 x 3 or 6 x 4 for better fitting.

Hi guys,

My 2.5 yr aircon not cold anymore. Checked and found out that refrigerant is kosong already :eek: Apparently there's a leak somewhere :(

My question is must I change all the aircons? Can I just change the piping but retain the condenser & evaporator units to save cost?

Is there any other way out to resolve the gas leaking problem?

Hi all, can I ask a question on electrical bill.

Setting temp to 25 degree with fan speed max is it cheaper than setting temp to 21 degree with fan speed lowest ?

Each stop lower temperature are tell compressor for work harder... Compressor would running from Min. to Max input watts.

Fan motor of indoor just indicated for max 15-30w only.. Even switch to maximum fan speed just 30w only.

2.5 yrs still new for all, just look at recommended Aircon services needed thread will do.

But make sure check all indoors and outdoor compressor gas pipes connections for flared nuts.

I was looking to ask this question also. But thanks to Kinsim for answering. I always put my aircon at 25 degrees with low fan speed. I was worried if I increase my fan speed the compressor might work hard and more electrical bills incurred :o
