Hi,

I've been to 2 shops.

The first one recommended LG, cause she claimed the LG compressor is quieter than the rest. But she is also one of the authorised dealer for LG, so she might be pushing LG aircons. She quoted $1700+ for non inverter sys 3, normal pipe.

The 2nd one recommended Panasonic. He said Panasonic compressor is not very loud, its ok. non inverter sys 3, 16mm pipe @ $1930, $1800 for normal.

The inhouse unit looks nicer than the LG one.

Which would you guys recommend?

got the LG one in Mar 07 at IMM

$1670 for system 3 with two times installation, gr23 copper piping, k-flex class 1 insulation and the works.

try to decide on which model you want, then go into various shops to check out the price.

this way they are more likely to reduce the price greatly

If U are thinking about LG Artcool .... my advise is forget about it... I encountered so many problem within the 3 months after use... can read more details from my blog...
