pessimizt 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2007 Hi all, just went down to IMM and visited GC and AB. Looking at system3 inverter. Talked to both sales and GC one sucks big time but AB price more expensive. But AB giving extended workmanship warranty to 5 years. GC havent ask so assume should be standard 1 year. Moreover, AB giving $120 maintenance vouchers but only can use $10 on 1 fancoil/maintenance. So total of $30 voucher can be used to offset their maintenance (costs $118 U.P.).Both the shop said that Toshiba inverter is one of the most energy saving (even better than Mitsubishi) cos of the compressor BTU. Toshiba is 24,000 whereas Mitsubishi is 28,000. Inverter compressors are much more quieter too ! So would like to seek fellow home owners to check and feedback which brand of aircon (inverter / non-inverter) they're using and is it good ? Energy saving ? Thank you in advance. !!

autumnzy 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2007 May I know which sales personnel do you talk to at GC?Cos I bought my TOSHIBA at GC. Had a very pleasant experience there.. Mine is non-invertor. Cos my living room not very big, so no need to get the non-invertor. !! Now, I'm even a personal friend of this sales personnel le. Not only has he helped me on the air-con stuff, he even go beyond his call of duty & helped me with our stuff to help set up our home! Cos we are first-timer..

pessimizt 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Hi autum,I've PMed you the answer. By the way who served you at GC - IMM ? Got a few questions:- How was the installation ? - Did they provide 5yrs warranty on workmanship ? - Any hidden costs (besides bracket) ?- Did they use class 1 or class 0 insulators ?- After sales service good ?I actually prefer AB because of the 5yrs workmanship warranty. They also say that they can upgrade me to class 0 insulator and "23" cables. Previously was only "24". I'm sorry but i know nuts about these stuff......so also duno whats so great.....GC actually mentioned that class 1 is better as in it can absorb more water. But AB said other wise...... What you think ??? . . . .but also wondering how is their workmanship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junye 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I think the thread starter compared wrongly.Toshiba is 34,000btu vs Mitsubishi 28000. They shd be ard the same pricing.High capacity. than Mitsubishi. Price wise they are the same.Energy saving $$$ savings. Comon, Aircon savings. who are we kidding. Not much lar. open 10 fans = 1 aircon. haa.Anyway both brands are ok. just the fan coil for toshiba is smaller one.But concurrently u can open aircon at different rooms and will be still cold. 34000- 28000 = 6000k to spare.My sis got Toshiba and she is happy with it. haa i took Mitsubishi cos my wife likes Mitsubishi better (brand lor. girls!)
