Update on Our Air-con Installation for our Living Room.

Regards to my recent post for aircon installation, (You can read it here). So here's an update:

Okay so I finally decided to get it done. Cost me about $2.5k +/- for a Panasonic 24,000 BTU single unit that comes with installation and also another isolator installed since my bedrooms are already powered by another compressor.

If you are concerned about if it is legal to install a second compressor on your HDB house, you can do a read up by clicking here on aircon installation requirements etc. by HDB. If you are still unsure, maybe because of the Amp provided for your house, you can call them up and the friendly folks there will do a check for you. Also, don't worry too much about approvals and such if you are getting your Air-con from places like Courts, the contractors will be the one applying all the necessary applications and what not with HDB.

Prior to installation appointment date, your contractor will be making at least 1 visit to your house to take measurements on the pipe laying and if the compressor you opt for will fit through your aircon service window. (just a heads up, you don't really have a choice on which brand of Aircon to choose from. Its a matter of if the compressor is small enough to go through your window.)

On the installation day itself, be prepared to cancel any other appointments or plans that you may have because it will take maybe about 4 to 5 hours and about another hour to clean up all the dust and debris due to the pipe works being done. Below are some of the photos taken during our installation:

The one and only brand which has a compressor that can fit through our window.

Upgraded insulation pipe because our piping had to run through the master bedroom's bathroom.
