new aircon wire with 20amp isolator installed

meet gaincity aircon guy this morning, by afternoon 5pm all installed according to what we discussed. i specifically told him, i don allow any trunking in my MBR toilet. however some of the piping in MBR is difficult to hide, they will be boxed up later.

new aircon wire will be fitted into aircon trunking

taking reference from my friend's house, my 24k BTU starmex is 110cm wide, it has to be offset to the right as my display cabinet is on the left on the corridor. they also drew out the dimension of the false ceiling cutout so the aircon can be installed later

we wan all the piping to be out from the rooms so we can box up in the corridor to have a cleaner look

During the discussion, i realise when the piping ran across the entrance of the walk-in-wardrobe, sliding glass door cannot be installed with the pipe in place, as there is no way to install tracks...goto change to swing door =\ consider save money although not as slick looking...

drainage pipe will be at common bathroom, pardon the horizontal pipe, later goto cut a hole in the kerb & pull the pipe through.

total 8 pipes as we will be installing 2 compressors, one 20k BTU for MBR + parents room and one 28k BTU for living + walk-in-wardrobe

initially the aircon installer highlighted to me that with 8 pipes its difficult to fit into the mbr toilet false ceiling due to the existing drainage pipes and might warp the false ceiling grills (like pregnant), but when i checked, nothing went wrong. i must say they did a good job (haven tested though)

Hi Fred,understand that u have false ceiling comes with downlights for your living room. can check with u about the wiring work? does ur contractor altered the MCB? or just extend the wires based on the current 4 power points on the ceiling?

take more photo evidence, rmb if u already paid them majority of the $$, u're already at the loose end, try talk to them nicely, make them admit their fault first...if really cannot then goto their management, last resort file to CASE.

Hi Fred,

Is it true that if we are doing homogeneous tiles for our floor, it is easier for contractor to do the screeding themselves before laying the tiles? They mentioned there is certain difficulty to use HDB screed for tiling unless it is vinyl or laminate flooring. Btw I was quoted a $8+K for homogeneous tiles for living rm + 3 bedrms.

hdb only allow free screed for laminate n vinyl flooring, to get the correct level you wan u need to talk to the hdb screed contractor else they just top up 40mm. if u r doing homogeneous or ceramic tiles ur contractor has to settle the rest for you. i paid 5k+ for homogeneous tiles for living & corridor only + haulage
