leen 2 Report post Posted September 20, 2007 hi alice916,i only ask for system 3 inverter.for a start, inverter will be more costly, that is the initial equipment cost. but subsequently there will electrical savings.non-inverter tend to use more electricity.and also my hse require 2 sets of system on different combination, either 2 set of system 3 or 1 set of system 4 + 1 set of system 1 base on calculation.and i will be using the aircon at least 3days per week, so to me, an inverter system makes more sense.non-inverter price can either be far fetch from inverter or quite close to inverter depending on the brands.fyi, i hv made my trip to amk fairprice on their air-con. the so-call cheap ones are those non-inverter, the ones that we enquire for, are also on the high side than the above quotations that i hv enquire.eg. amk fairprice - $5,300everjoint - $5,100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leen 2 Report post Posted September 21, 2007 hi audreymarilyn, went there talked to another guy, jason was off. anyway, he dun seems to know much coz keep calling his supervisor to check.and his supervisor also not very knowledgeable. the toshiba inverter system 3 quoted is about $2.7k and as i need 2 sets, i.e. = $5.4k, more ex den other places. and it exclude bracket, additional powerpoint etc. total cum up to abt $6k.and the insulation they give look like those china made grey color cheap foam, not those rubber type of black insulation like armflex, thermaflex, kflex etc. and its easy to peel off with your fingers (i hv tried it). when ask if they give the other type of insulation, he say HDB not approve!! how can that be?? me and hb in this line, so we know wat we are asking for and wat we need and also wat HDB approves. in our line, condo projects is consider small pea projects. we doing turnkey projects and deal with much bigger cooling system, like central system, district cooling, seawater cooling system etc. and we hv to know our regulations and CP by the finger tips coz its our rice bowl.so hb not agree to wat they offer.
