kingzkong 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks alot, Kingzkong. Been pondering over where to place the indoor unit at e Living RM cos OUR Living RM is L-shaped shape connected to the Dining area.Shd not be a prob coz from what I understand, 22k btu is good enuff for our living rm sqm...Most probably will install it in living rm.

Lin & L3x 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Felix,I haven get any quotes for the aircon, cos still cant really decide wana install a unit in the Living RM or not due to minimum usuage.Personally, I felt if u jus install a unit for the Living RM. U might be overloading it cos theres no partition bet the Living & Dining.But to install 2 units in the Living & Dining aso not practical as I dun tink I'll turn it on often.I tink the only practical and cost-effective way is to install a high BTU unit for both Living & Dining like Kingzkong, but the position of the unit needs to be strategically placed to provide efficient cooling.Correct me if I'm wrong.

Lin & L3x 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Hi Apollo75,Ya, so many tings to buy.I tink these 2 tings have to be confirm b4 buying anyting.-Contractor/ID-AirconAircon work with the compressor drawing current. The start-up of an aircon always draw a higher current(electricity) to start the compressor. Hence, consume more energy to start.A non-inverter works by starting n stopping to attain the temp required, imagine how it affects the drawing of electricity.A inverter works by regulating the electricity consumation rather than starting n stopping of the compressor.The price diff bet them is abt 1k+. Normally, aircon lasts abt 8yrs. So must depend on ur usuage b4 deciding to buy inverter or not.I tink non-inverter is sufficient for us unless ur always at home, turning the aircon for more than 8hours everyday.Hope I have cleared ur doubt. Ur looking for sys4? I'm aso looking for sys4. But only choice for non-inverter, Daikin. Edited January 10, 2008 by Lin & L3x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
