genesis

Daikin lor.. actually depend your budget also..

This recommendation of that brand got to do with sales incentive la.. The are couples feedback that it will trip (for your case). Some said the compressor unit may not fit at those area for mounting. So size of compressor unit sometime have to consider also for older flat. Next thing you might want to consider is the fan coil noise level, to date most 10btu and below are within 21-24Db range, those above 12 BTU type goes somewhere between 23 to 45Db. So far ME and Daikin are the top for lower noise level. My older Daikin is quiet but ME is quieter, both (10btu type)consider good to me. Next when you compare, you've to use the same type of fan coil , then it will be more "choon" another word apple to apple comparison. Also watch out for after sales gimmick..mostly terms and condition apply.. and don't kanna side track by providing free gifts, just remember that air con you're getting is going to service you for years but gift will only last for that moment!

Are thsse switches certified by PSB ? If yes, then cheap lor..

Actually not much different for all..

Somehow ME is better , Fujitsu is so so to me.. But either one you choose you've to consider the "kw" because if a compressor draw more current that mean you've to pay more Electricity bill. BTW, is this model you're referring AOY36VMNM4 (fujitsu) ?? If this is the model, then I suspect it may not fit , the running current is 16.5A which is higher then your expectation. In my personal opinion, Daikin design and quality are better then ME and Fujitsu. The cool air from daikin seem to be healtier .. some brands are very dry, you could feel your lip very dry when you woke up.

some shops in sim lim tower or sim lim square does sell parallel import products, so it's the comsumer who have to ask before buying. I've aviod to buy "costly" products in those area, I'll rather go to BEST and purchase thru 0% instalment to make use of thise benefit and save this hazzle. Sometime in SL you may end up paying higher if you did not do homework.

Even my 7 yrs old flat(newer model) need to apply for permit for installing air-con.. They'll ask for the model and brand before approved, I heard the rules was changed recently for newer flat. Anyway 8.5A is the peak, if you're using 1 out of 4 or 2 of 4 fan-coil at a time then both Daikin and ME should compliance, some may experienced power trip if you On all the fan-coils, but this should be rare as most people will not power on all the fan coils. You may want to ask HDB which are the approved model for your flat, usually they will assist.. because now their salary had raised , should have more smiling face

try to visit this site for your referrence http://dpreview.com/ .. I'm a canon user.. get those with anti shake which help a lot for quick snap and people with shaky hand ..

there are model with 8.5A limitation for system4, as far as i know Daikin and ME have this model

That should help.. don't have to buy super good one la.. parts are more expensive! but do the same jobs!

It still possible to retain the trunk as long your pipes are replacable by the technician. Changing the whole system is ideal which you'll have lesser hassle on warranty and all parts are new, more fresher airzzz :-) , I'd advise you to change the pipe if possible. Depend on your usage, if you want to on your air-con for a few rooms which is more then 2 rooms (average 9k btu each), go for ME as the compressor can achieve higher btu but prepare to pay more $$ to Singpower. If you want to on only 2 room at most , go for Daikin..Daikin fan coils are very quiet, and my personal experience the consumption is lower then ME. Nowaday the model come with RA410 which is more friendly to earth and also cooler.
