I'm now looking for aircons...

Planning to install Inverter Sys 3 Mitsubishi Starmex [MODEL : MXY-3A28VA + 3 x MSY-GE10VA]

Installing in my living room, MBR and study room.... not installing in the room along the corridor.

Just search online and came across this CT aircon website

http://www.ctair-con.com.sg/mitsubishi-starmex-aircon/mitsubishi-inverter-starmex-aircon

They are charging 2885 nett with installation, 3 years installation warranty, 5 years aircon warranty.

1. May I know what's the mkt price for sys 3 installation?

2. Any personal reviews on Mitsubishi Electric or this company?

3. Any other companies i should try??

help help.

Hi Bro, greetings and congrats to your new place, btw its is very near my parent's place which is also along Ave3.

As for aircon wise, the popular brands are Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Daikin etc.

I've checked on ME Starmex prices and the smaller outfits charges around 2.8k+ (similar to the quote you gotten) to around 3.3k from bigger retailers like Courts, HN or Best Denki with Credit Facility, they also throw in a few other freebies like extended warranty or free tv etc.

You could try giving Aron from Imperial a PM or try other retailers like AllBest/Gaincity/Coolserve etc.

Happy finding the best deal for ya aircon installation!

Cheers

Your 3D looks good. Very soft color scheme. What is your ID calling this theme? How about the other 3D pic of your house as well?

Referring to your aircon qn, we bought panasonic system 3 for our house from All Best. Got it around 2.4 back then (April). It comes with air ionisor/purifier. Upgraded pipes. 5yr installation warranty. $150 service vouchers. You can consider this also. Hope this helps.

Very nice 3D drawing of the living hall. I like the colour scheme also

Hi, anyone used similar tiles to the ones I'm going to use for common toilet? The black and white wall tiles with checkered patterns.. Picture was attached in 2 posts earlier. I'm quite scared it may trap dirt and algae more easily than normal tiles. Any advice?

Hey, may i ask how's the water pressure in Serangoon Ave 3? i'm thinking of installing a rain shower and after reading lots, i realised installing a storage heater only increases the water pressure by a bit. If the water pressure is low, the storage heater will not help.

Any thoughts?

Hi Readers,

Any advice on water pressures? Anyone using rainshowers in HDB? how's the water pressure like and whether the bigger the storage heater, the stronger the pressure?

I have also initially planned my plumbing this way. Discussed with Terence but it would incur more cost due to more materials and takes additional 2 weeks. gave up the idea....

here's the original plumbing.

My proposed plumbing but gave up.

Even Aircon trunking requires early planning.

New things learnt.

1) The water trunking can only go horizontal and downwards from your air-conditioner.

2) the trunking starts from the bottom of your air-conditioner, not the top.

3) only the gas trunking from the compressor can go high up to the ceiling.

After indepth planning, came up with this trunking route. The air-conditioners contractors got so confused initially when i tried to explain to them at the site to get their quotations. In the end, drawing the diagrams helps. After spending so much on renovations, at least the trunking must be hidden.
