Ready, Steady, Go! (pasir Ris Ea)

A pretty standard layout inside the wardrobe...

Hong Tar came by to install the rest of the blowers and compressor... once again.. very nicely done! Our experience with them have been top notch.

And so thats it for week 7.. we are expecting everything to be done by week 9... might even be earlier as there is not much of outstanding stuffs left.. So far so good!

hihi... yea! the plan was to buy the wardrobe from IKEA... but after comparing henry's pricing and IKEA's .. it did not differentiate by much... thus we decide to save our time and all use him instead...

Ai ya.. the fans.. lol.. it was suppose the be just the fans in the living and dining .. thus we decide to spend a bit more to get a more stylish one. ( of cos we our limit was to get 1 of each below 1.3k , which we did)... but after ordering it... our sofa/air con experience comes along... so end up with air cons and the fans in the area... if we planned for air conditioning in the 1st place.. we would have go with a cheaper fans.. oh well.. at least it looks nice lol..

How's ur reno coming along... good i hope!

IKEA isn't that cheap sometimes I find, not too sure if the wood used is different though? I always worry about the wood used coz I see some IKEA bookshelves sag from the display weight, though some are thicker (but more expensive).

Haha, your air conditioning was planned later is it? Seems like it affected ur fan + glass. But the fans and glass are looking pretty good anyways. Aesthetics has a price I guess

yea... realize that too.. IKEA have different grade of wood.. and of cos the price is different too...

hehe.. we decide to go ahead with the air con (of the living/dining area) becos.. if later then decide it will cos lots of disruptions .. at least another good pt was that we wont be sweating away whenever we visit our unit to check out the progress.. now.. pretty standard.. step in .. turn on air con lol..

Haha! That is so true. It is so stuffy now whenever I go down coz there are no lights and fans. Ya air con if you decide to install later it's going to be a pain. Previously I thought to install less aircons since we wondered if we would be using it that much in other rooms, but as you said, installing later will be a hassle later. What air con system you installing btw? Planned for system 4 but non-inverter. Air con guy came down and said ours might not have enough "cooling power". Now dunno if to change to inverter which is a good 1k more...

In the beginning , we wanted a system 4 too... but with the plan change to include the living and dinning .. we tot ok .. maybe add a system 2 ... But after chatting with the folks from Hong Tar... they were saying.. that since the living and dining area is big.. its more effective if we use 2 system 3.

From what we understand .. inverter or non inverter is just the energy usage (inverter will save u energy cost, as the compressor will only use the amount of electricity needed at the time. As compared to a non inverter which will use the full power regardless of how many of the blowers u turn on.) Both would have compressor with the same power output..

So the question u have to ask yourself.. How many blowers does your family usually turn on at once? If its all 4 most of the time.. personally i would think its better u go for 2 system 2 instead... cos a single system 4 will not be able to cool down all ur rooms effectively ..

For our experience.. we brought our floor plan to the lady and inform her to our usage patten, she will calculate the amount of "cooling power" needed to match our usage and space..

hope this helps..

your place is coming along really nicely.... the space seems so spacious and airy! can't wait to see the final outcome

Thank you for your kind words... Was pretty apprehensive in the beginning... cos we don't have any 3d drawings and such... just relying on various photo from web and magazine... glad is turn out ok..

I will try to take more photos as things progress..

Likely that we will only use 2 at the same time, which was why the lady told us that non-inverter should be ok. However, when her main worker came down to run the pipes, he was apprehensive coz he mentioned about us having the high ceiling. He said that inverter total output is 27 BTU as compared to non-inverter which is 20BTU? :/ Dunno who is right now...

hmmm... http://www.coolserve.com.sg/

not knowing what is the brand of ur air con.. i selected a mitsubishi electric system 4 non inverter .. they do have a compressor that is generating 36000BTU ....

maybe check with the lady to see if there is a higher output model?

Well.. that worker might have a point. Cos floor plan can only show length and width not height... thus if u u have a high ceiling it does affect your space in which a more powerful blower is needed ...

A case of too much space for a under powered blower or compressor will lead to the room not getting cold enough or cool fast enough... Thus if u already have a under power compressor.. when u turn on all 4 blowers at once...there is a high chance that none of them will be cold...

Anyway.. i am sure non inverter have high out put than 20BTU .. more so for a system 4.....use that webby, it help heaps...
