ekardo 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2007 Is ya panasonic non-inverter system3?I just signed with Natural Cool for Panasonic non-inverter system3 CU-3C20GKH and CS-C9GKZW*3 for $1729 including stainless steel bracket, plus '"trade-in of existing a/c" (which I think is a marketing gimmick).Initially I call their hot-line, and they say only 1 trip, extra trip need to pay. But i was recommended to a guy call Gary by my ID, and he ok with as many trips as my ID needs, now at 3 trips.Not sure if this is a good buy, but seems much cheaper than the quotes i got from IMM AB and GC, $1849 and $1949 respectively.Hopefully they do a good job..tootee, can you give me the contact of Gary? I went down, and served by a young Gary...and he quoted me $1799, and need to pay for bracket $130, and also $50 for upgrade to 1/2 inch insulation for each fan.your package is $100 cheaper !

Brainstorm 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2007 hi tootee,a bit too late..went to IMM, and bought sharp from All best instead..$1699 + 150 blacket.realised Harvey Normal also same price!I also bought sharp but from Hong Tar at $1880 + $150 upgrade from 3/8" to 1/2" insulation. How come Hong Tar so ex!!?? Hong Tar includes a 3yrs workmanship warranty. Can share what is All Best giving you? 23 gauge copper piping or the thinner 22 gauge copper pipe? Those black color high density insulation foam (Class 1 or 0) or the grey color one? 1/2" insulation thickness? 16mm water drainage pipe? Site survey + 2 times installation? Vacuum copper piping prior to fixing aircon compressor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ekardo 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 all out, get a contractor who is very familiar with your floorplan and know how to run the piping nicely.get recommendation from neighbours is the best!for your info, all the recommendation from friends, relatives etc all end up in high quote...they think I dunno how to search for cheaper lobang or what....and their pricing is surprisingly high...I think becos they think "recommendation" mean good...so can charge more...or they think we are Cai Tou ??anyway, All Best is 5 years workmanship...I did not ask for upgrade of the cable or insulation..so 3/8" and using Totaline..to upgrade, is extra $50 per cooler...2 visit...1 to lay piping, and another time to install cooler.I have tasked them to do a shifting of the quite new aircon (system 1) from my new house to my parents house...their work a big rough....but end result is still neat and clean...used the Aircon for 1 week...switching on around 12 hours a night...so prob so far..the next test will be the laying of piping in the middle of this month.also....Harvey normal or gaincity also having the offer of 1699 for sharp...see Sat papers...
