Some Tips About Installing Aircons In Your New Home

Sharing a little something about aircons

Cassette types might be more flush, but they cost more and are harder to maintain

Two separate smaller blowers might be better in air distribution than one big one

Site your compressors where they can be serviced easily but not too near your sleeping areas

Try and use the same brand so you can recycle or keep some of the remotes away

Check the ratings on the units, not all are five ticks or as quiet as advertised

Get a larger than you think you need compressor, some of those system 5 compressors will only really cool one or two rooms at the same time

The shorter the trunker, the more efficient the cooling

Think about where the water will run off too, so you manage the drip and the sound it may make. You'll also need a gradient for the water to flow so you won't have stagnant water 

The three major brands are all quite fine.

Do note that only Mitsubishi Starmex and Panasonic have PM 2.5 filters

Daikin aircons are usually slimmer than the others if you need a small footprint 

Make sure there's enough space to open the lid for cleaning

Starmex models are the easier to clean 

Check on the actual series, some models have some PCB issues, but most of the recent models have resolve their reliability issues. 

Also when you check quotes, it's you can't take a quote for a simple install for a small flat and use it when planning for a landed home. The extra labor and costs have to be factored in.

Check the details, eg the type of copper and insulation used. Don't just go for the cheapest.
