epigram 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 Hi, I got this aircon quotation from a company that my ID works with frequently. I don't mind paying a slight premium since they are familiar with each other and so will have better co-ordination but the price seems a bit off when I compare with coolserve online prices? Are the prices too high? Appreciate any comments! Option 1 Daikin 3MKD 75DVM+FTKD 25DVM+FTKD 50FVM $3,130 3MKD 75DVM+FTKD 25DVM+FTKD 50FVM $3,130 3MKD 75DVM+FTKD 25DVM*2+FTKD 50FVM $3,850 Option 2 Mitsubishi Electric MXY-3A28VA+MSY-GE10VA+MSY-GE24VA $3,000.00 MXY-3A28VA+MSY-GE10VA+MSY-GE24VA $3,000.00 MXY-3A28VA+MSY-GE10VA*2+MSY-GE24VA $3,790.00 Price inclusive of 7% GST and 6/8 inch insulation Brand of insulation not stated.

I just order a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries System 4 invertor at $3399. I think if ur house is big, u need to take into consideration the BTU rather than the brand itslf only. StarMex BTU stand at 28k, MHI compressor = 32k That extra 4k is helpful if u need to on all units through the night. I think for system 3, market rate is about $2700 to $2900 can get , system 4 $3200 to $3500 can get. Few things to take note: 1. Insulation material, are they using class "1" or class "0" . Class 0 is better material, commonly used by industrial usage, thus need better quality. Class 1 is basic insulation fire-resistant type. Both r approved by HDB one. Class 1 commonly used since cheaper. 2. Dismantling and discarding old air con (if any). Make sure they dont charge any of this or any labour. Suppose to be inclusive into the price. 3. If u are getting a resale flat, get them to give bracket FOC. It usually cost $100 +/- 4. If u are getting inverter technology, make sure u get extended warranty. My original warranty is 1 yr (all parts for compressor and units + labour) + 4 yr (compressor only). The chip board of the inverter technology cost $800 +/- if spoilt to replace. And its covered only 1 year. So i bought an extended warranty. For an additional $300, i got all parts,labour, transport covered for compressor and units, meaning if anything spoilt during the 1st 5 yrs, i spend $0 to get it repaired/replaced. I think its a decent amount to pay for a peace of mind for 5 yrs. Your ID will definitely get some referral $ from the air con guy.You decide whether he deserves this referral or not lor. If u buy else where, the coordination is no problem one. Once the flooring is done (before cornice andL-box), get the air con guy and your ID to meet together with u, and u direct them where to situate your units. Ur ID will say nice/practical or not. The air con guy will say whether can be done or not. Once settled, air con guy can start work right away for the piping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got this quotation from them: Panasonic (Model : CU3S27KKZ, 26k BTU) Pricing : $2859 (with 5 yrs extended warranty) Mitsubishi (Model : MXY3A28VA, 26k BTU) Pricing : $2919 (with 5 yrs extended warranty) Hitachi (Model : RAM65Q8, 22k BTU) Pricing : $2799 (with 5 yrs extended warranty) Dunno which brand to choose? Panasonic or Mitsubishi? Is the price quoted reasonable? What type of insulation Gain City normally provides? Edited July 12, 2010 by famasutika Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
