    May I know if the Toshiba system 4 specs for your quote of $3589

    I got it at $3799 3xmodel RAS-M10NKCV (9k BTU) and 1xmodel RAS-M22NKCV(22K BTU), with Compressor model RAS-4M26SACV (34K BTU).

    hee that sales guy did not write the model down. only wrote the brand. I think it is the same as wat u mention.

    1x22KBTU and 3 x 9K BTU.

    how come urs is more ex?i got my quota frm Gaincity. or ur price is inclusive of the G22 copper pipe upgrade?

    Welcome! I find that aircon is one of the most headache to decide. Took me a long time to decide. Will deciding sys3 inverter, sys3 non-inverter, sys3+sys1, sys3+sys2, sys4 inverter, sys4 non-inverter. Finally after a long long long decision process, went with sys4 inverter. Just hope it will last me for a long time too.

    which brand did u choose?

    i tink may go for toshiba sys4 inverters. heard compressor is made in japan..

    Gaincity quote me daikin $3839 , toshiba $3589, mitsubishi $3719

    and then still need to top up $230 for upgrade of something with copper pipe G22..i cant make out his handwriting haha..

    I am at home waiting for the installers to come to install the Toshiba System 4 Inverter today.

    Getting this system 4 purely on consideration that mostly to on for 2 BRs at night and day for hall. Therefore, the consumption might be high too, and getting a system 4 does make sense.

    Other considerations:

    - The phasing out of R22 by year 2015 and maintenance will be higher

    - system 4 able to add more value to your house when selling, as R22 has phased out

    Just my 2 cents worth. Also, based on your budget.

    what is R22?

    oOoh u mean ur cupboard door shelvings are just sitting on top of the indent concrete support? got drill into the the concrete? will it fall off if its just sittin on it?

    DSC01778.jpg

    mine also $680

    so far all the IDs / contractors quote around this price for concrete support

    $200+ is dirt cheap wor :unsure:

    hee.. issit? at least i feel better now i'm not the odd one heehee..:P

    i remember asking abt the low wall with hollow block at shower area also came back very ex!! one forumer got $280 for 2 hollow block low walls in toilet. i got quoted $480 for 1.

    perhaps cement and concrete material increase 100% since few mths ago.. :dunno:

    for us we mostly wont on all the rooms aircon at 1 time. also seldom will on. most will be 2. ya lor we checked 2 places told us dun have system 4 non inverter.

    i heard daikin has sys4 non inverter but i tink becuz my living / dining room is too big it needs a bigger fancoil so the current one not compatible..

    we may prob need to choose inverter after all. mb wil lookout for the advertisement and ask again :) thnks 4 the advice!

    i think mine was about 200 plus if i am not wrong. i got the pics in my blog.......come come see see :)

    urs quite cheap.. ho bee quote me $680.. duno why i realise my quote always abit high ... we look like cai tao issit? :bangwall:

    i'm quite puzzled how did the carpentry guy manage to stick the cupboard to the concrete block? hee..

    are you able to take a pic of how the cabinets doors and exterior aree joined together with the concrete?

    so i can show to my ID. :)

    So weird, your price is much cheaper then mine and its also from Ho Bee. Does it mean their price is not consistent and think I big carrot ah! :curse:

    Anyway conceal means on the wirings and not the lights. Surface you can see the ugly looking casing on the walls, and conceal means you need to hack the existing wall and you wun see the wiring at all. Wirings on false ceilings are considered as surface.

    hmmm no leh, i called him to ask he say false ceilings lights are considered conceal. which means to say every lighting point i have in the false ceiling will be $50 for running of wirings + $10 for installation of lights = $60.

    so does that mean those down lights at the top kitchen cabinets also $60 each. *faint*..

    strange i wonder why it is different for urs and mine. he got list surface and conceal price for u?

    mine is new HDB flat. is urs new too?

    i still find it ex though.. another ID quote me $41 which is $19 cheaper than him. duno can bargain or not... :dunno:

    hi, can i know if the following electrical works from Ho Bee is the norm?

    Electrical Works(surface) (conceal)

    1. Ext 1 no. 5Amp lighting point @ S$30 $50

    2. Ext 1 no. 5Amp 2way lighting switch@ S$50 $70

    3. Labour fee to install per set lighting fitting @ S$10

    4. Ext 1 no. 13Amp single switch socket outlet @ S$40 $60

    5. Ext 1 no. 13Amp double switch socket outlet @ S$50 $70

    6. Ext 1 no. SCV TV point @ S$90 $120

    7. Switch control for cooker and hob @ S$80

    8. Ext 1 no LAN point @$120 $150

    btw, i am still abit confused what is 5Amp light and how conceal works..

    so false ceilings and Lbox lightings are considered conseal or not?

    wat abt those downlights under kitchen cabinets are considered conceal?

    if mine is new hdb, does cutting the existing false ceiling to shift its location abit issit considered conseal?

    i suddenly have hesitation on having bottom cabinets for my bathroom. cuz it is near the toilet bowl. abit cramp.

    Thinkin of removing this item from quote or replace it with a top cabinet with full length mirror that can be open up with side shelvings. plus maybe i can put light behind the top cabinet to create mood lightings. :yamseng:

    Anyone did this for ur toilet? Any idea if they costs the same or if top cabinet is cheaper as well?

    alamak now then i realise i cannot click to enlarge my pic..

    do you guys mean it will be 2 different piece one which is the one with the pipe, the other is the one with the sink drawing?

    hmmm dun like join lines..will there be any problem with your join lines?

    so i guess the limitation of solid surface is width. too wide to be one piece for my layout.
