Aircon Choices

[Taurean 0]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum.

I'm planning to get a Sys 3 Aircon. So far has short listed the following brands:

- Panasonic (attracted by it's ION function which purifies the air)

- Mit (non inverter)

- Carrier

Hope to get some views from fellow forumers on the pro and cons of each. TIA.

Regards,

Taurean

hi, this is what i found out...

toshiba aircon unit

- fcu / indoor unit: from thailand

- outdoor unit: from japan

the rest of the other brands

- indoor & outdoor unit: from thailand, china

many aircon installers and shops tell me that the best performing aircon in term of quality, durability, pricing and ability to perform is toshiba and mitsubishi.

Air-con better go for Japanese brand.. Make in whatever country should be Ok, it's depend on your luck or fate if it really break down, installer skill and techque are also importants.

the installers must hv integrity and not cut corners when installing. to avoid future leaking problm, owner must be around when they install the piping and most imptly, be there to witness the whole process of pressurization.
