ylucy 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 What brand you got in the end? Bought Mitsubishi Electric from Hong Tar in the end. For their better reputation... They will install piping tmr... Hopefully everything will go fine Hi, can you tell me how many BTU is the unit they quoted you huh? $2850 is good leh. I was offered $2990. They will write it for you in a piece of paper one right? MSXYGA10 * 3... I think it depends on the model... mine PTU lowest, but for our room size, it's enough... I think Hong tar got fixed price... tried to negotiate for freebie or whatever, but failed...

jmania 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2008 quick question, do you guys off the 'main' switch everytime you're done with the aircon? the switch at the aircon compressor.. the on off switch. will it help in saving electricity? or its fine by simply using the remote?

Not sure if it is the current best deal or not? Hong Tar quote me $2630 (was told using the better grade of insulators) actually i think Mitsubishi heavy should come with the standard piping.. but some salesman will use the tactic that you need to upgrade $180 for better pipping.. (so the so call best grade copper and insulators are actually the normal package liao just tat they replace you with cheaper one..) Btw hong tar installment plan need to add 4% very good read up here.. http://singapore-aircon-materials.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So are inverter aircons with 4 ticks. How big are the rooms? And what are the heat sources? It is possible to do a simplified heat load calculation of the BTU needed for each room & the total BTU required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is possible to do a simplified heat load calculation of the BTU needed for each room & the total BTU required. Fridge depend on the litre also of cos 3 ticks is more expensive but u save energy cost in long run.. for aircon inverter and non inverter 2 ticks cost about 1k+ different but if u are those type that use aircon every nite... think by 1 year u break even liao... for BTU easier calculation is Room Size x (Number) can refer here http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/estate/service/ac.html think in singapore most use 650 as the factor number...an other factor is the distance of the room from the compressor (as the pipe is longer, more temp are gain before reaching the room) if u visit hong tar they will calculate for u using ur floor plan. I got a 9k BTU for my 13sqm room, 12k BTU for my 19sqm MBR and 12K BTU for my 13sqm furthest room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
