ilmare612 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Are u quote on the same exact model and same BTU.. price very different. Well take note of the pipping grade and size they are giving u.. I encore what tommy78 commented. Look into the fine details like "use of 1/2 inch thick class '0' thermaflex insulation for indoor unit and class '1' black insulation for outdoor unit. PVC pipe use will be 16mm and G23 copper pipe", etc... Edited December 16, 2008 by ilmare612 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kewin 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) I think I am going to IMM to see again ... I went to all. I have 2 company in mind, H@ng Tar or GC, but H@ng Tar is about $50 expensive than GC. H@ng Tar "use of 1/2 inch thick class '0' thermaflex insulation for indoor unit and class '1' black insulation for outdoor unit. PVC pipe use will be 16mm and G23 copper pipe".

tower 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 To all forumers here, DO NOT buy any air-cons from ALLBEST at IMM. Their workmanship is atrocious and their after sales service is horrible. I bought my Mitsubishi Heavy Industries system 3 aircon from them and condensation was already forming on the casing after 1 week. When I called them to check, the workers simply insert newspapers into the plastic casing. **** unprofesional. In the end, I complained to CASE and they decided to re-do the whole piping. Gave me so much headaches. Now my new unit is using Mitsubishi Starmex system 4 from GainCity. Workmanship is good and air-con has no noise at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
