El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Day 22 Aircon installation day Suppose to place it under the false ceiling, but due to some water level thingy, aircon man advised us to place the top level. Now its blocking my crystal dining light against the mirror. 18k BTU, wonder if it can cool my living. Yo...u didnt ask ur ID to cut a hole in the ceiling for the aircon? see whether feasible anot? Like weird leh if aircon directly in front of ur dining lights......some more crystal lights...will turn to icicles anot if too cold? 18k btu was also what was recommended by most aircon ppl after i showed them my floorplan.. i wanted to max it to 24k but after comparing specs in depth i.e 18k gives out 17k btu whilst 24k gives out 20k btu...like very negligible lor so took the 18k btu... Close up on the laminate for those who are interested. Like ants crawling everywhere or some curse chanted on it. *mental note to self* remind forummers to bring pesticide if anyone visiting angteko's unit...

Angteko 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 hello! gd progress at your place i must say! and i love ur laminates! i have the love letter in white on my study cabinets.. hehee.. Hihi, nice!! Gone thru your blog last time but didnt realise u use love letter laminate as well. haha So I cant claimed I'm the 1st to use already, but I'm probably 1st to use black one? keke Was thinking of using white one that time too, but ID said the wording will not be distinct enough, so we bravely took the black one. U got a bigger pic of your overall cabinet?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We thought of that too, but ID said it will not look good, and hiding half the aircon inside wasnt good for future maintenance, so had to drop that idea. Another method is to had the aircon trunking run along the walkway to living, which is very ugly, so in the end choose to sacrifice loh. This is one of the miscalculation from ID too, and our living area are really limited esp if we want to avoid those trunking from showing up. Hopefully the lightings can still do it, and I still have another piece of mirror right opposite, so might not be that bad. As for crystal turning to ice, ID suggest to adjust the aircon flip to blow at lower level instead of blowing up. Good info there El nino!! I didnt know abt that aircon specs thingy. Is it same across all brands of aircon?? So which aircon did u get? And what kind of combination? Yeah...got free pesticide per visitors. We need those pesticide, coz both of us are scared of cockroaches. Wahahah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angteko 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Orh yah, btw, my ID came back and said that the black solid top for kitchen are hard to maintain. The stain mark will be very obvious by hot object. Thought I told him last time already? So he suggest we changed to white or something close to white, and I let him decide. keke Without the black solid top, the white cabinet wont look so outstanding anymore. Let's see what he can come out with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what kind of combination? Yeah...got free pesticide per visitors. We need those pesticide, coz both of us are scared of cockroaches. Wahahah k lah...u raised some relevant points to abt the aircon within the false ceiling and trunking spoiling the aesthetics...wonder when will somone come up with infrared tech for aircon from compressor to fancoil?? Not really sure if its the same across all brands...but i did my research on the few brands i was interested in...and whilst doing so found out that the actual BTU emitted is lesser than stated in retail.. think they round up bah to make it look good tho its like cheating lor for 20k BTU they retailed it as 24k... anyways, i got myself a single split inverter from Panasonic CSS18JKZ for $1399 (after upgrade insulation and bracket abt $1.6k) after trade in from Natural Cool... GC and Hong Tar quoted me almost 2k for the 24k BTU...so since BTU diff seemed minimal to me, i saved $400 and went for Natural Cool..also managed to get rid of the old dodgy aircons without having to pay for removal! so, yay! Orh yah, I wont welcome El nino's cat, if not he thought it is ants and keep scratching it. keke woit!!! my cat is mentioned here...he not very happy that u dun wna welcome him over... *hiss*hiss*spat*spat* @ Angteko...

Lol..air con near light...then better do not turn air con on auto, may sense wrong room temp....possible? This is true but should not affect much unless he is using halogen bulbs i guess. Maybe the feature on the aircon can be turned off if he using the lights? Orh yah, btw, my ID came back and said that the black solid top for kitchen are hard to maintain.

Let's see what he can come out with. Dude, if using solid top, go for light colours. If using granite top, go for dark colours. Anyways, its not like we will put hot pots and pans directly on the top right? U not considering granite top if u want black to go with ur white cabinets?
