weiht 2 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 installation standard 1 yrs warranty. That Mr Teo really smoke ppl..Thats why i leaning towards best tech who give standard 5yr for compressor n 1yr for parts, BUT 3yr for installation.Recently, i went to buy a LCD n the sales guy wanted to ask me to extend warrranty to 5yrs just in case any damage. I was thinking maybe get lah for peace of mind, but then my gf said something power man, "why must extend warranty? U mean the LCD u sell so fast n easy to spoil meh?"Not that she dun wanna extend, but the guy was like keep pyschoing me to extend, to the pt he keep saying when the thing spoil n all then jialat. So thats when she step in n said, u mean to tell me u sell things that spoil v easily? THANK GOD FOR HER, if not i kana con $300...Likewise for aircon, most ppl at gc will push us for the extended warranty, n they will calculate the charges of servicing if not under warranty, n it can be scary. But when i asked abt extending the parts warranty at Best tech, the salesman told me not necessary lah. More impt is the workmanship during installation, n for the amount of my usage, i wont really stress the aircon to give up. As long as i do the simple cleaning n all, should not be a problem.But then again, i still may pay for it... singaporean syndrome LOLOH YEAH, the very impt point is the ppl at best tech do 2 trips for installation, which is gd. Cuz they can do the piping n all first, then after u paint the hse then they come in to install the aircon. others do 1 trip onli, n say they will cover the aircon to prevent paint stains.Now, i do sound a best tech salesman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiki2004 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 Hi all, i just got Toshiba System 3 Inverter from All Best IMM today @ $2,488 from a Mr Lim. Using totaline Class 0 insulation & 23 refrigrant, using 16mm pipe size for horizontal draining. Installation warranty of 60months, Servicing vouchers of $120, 2 times installation (1 for piping before painting another is after painting they will install the aircon up). He somemore wrote price guarantee wor, will match or refund deposit if I able to purchase at a lower price from other place before my installation. Initially my husband and me looking for mit inverter system 3 @ $2,799 with a master bedroom free upgrade to higher BTU. Than my husband shook at him asking him Toshiba or Mit better. He than recommend Toshiba as Toshiba motor and assemble all in Japan and Mit motor is from japan but assemble in Thailand (I find it no diff la, but my husband think "made in jpn" better). He said Mit advertise alot, so cost is all added into our cost, whereas Toshiba don't lor, so can see the price diff. !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weiht 2 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 Ok, after looking at quotes from Allbest, gc n best tech, i think i shld go ahead with allbest.Quoted me for toshiba invertor system 4 $3488nett, 9k for 3 bedroom n 22k for living, compressor is 34k. 5yr warranty for compressor n INSTALLATION, 1 yr for parts. The salesman also show me the material they using n compared with k-flex and others. To my surprise, the other 2 class 0 tubes can be torn easily if u actually try to tear it, so it can be easily damaged during installation, and if the tear exposes the piping inside, then thats when u will get alot of sweating. However, the one they use it v durable n cant be torn easily at all, it also looks more pro and is class 0. They will also use a bigger drainage pipe to prevent choking.also they will provide 2 trips installation.GC is just expensive and they try v hard to ask u upgrade their materials used and warranty. Best tech is not bad, but i find the deal cant match all best. Not sure abt installation service tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
