Sorry for the late reply!

149sq m for a 5rm maisonette? This is about the size of an EM. Mine is already 150sq m.

Hi potatoes, you're right. My mistake!

I'm now on my way to the HDB for our first appt and am looking at the valuation report. The size of the unit is 139 sq m. Thanks!

Hi all

I hav a qns here regarding the installation of aircon. I went to gain city and the salesperson mentioned that for older EM, can only install 2 brands which is Hitachi and Mit electric. Is it true? And tat we are not allowed to install 2 compressors.

Then I went to courts, the salesperson didnt mention anything about these issues. I hav read fr older postings abt the electrical loading but still quite confused haha. Can someone giv some advice? Thks

Hi BitterBeemer, congrats in getting a EM, are you intend to have the whole house fully air con? Or just the rooms? You need to know the btu of each system, with your floor plan the salesman should be able to advise you. There are many brands in the market, I'm sure there will have one suit your need. For 2 compressors will have to depend on your house electric load, you can check with hdb on this. Cheers
