Update: aircon man came, he said the socket no good, might be the cause of affecting the inner wire broke.

Hello ,


Anyone installed star mex 18OOO BTU, care to share how much is the installation Thanks.

[smurf]

Ya, of coz he did lah, else I would scold him! Haha...


He sort of 'blamed' my usual contractor because the usual contractor was the one installed socket and he only do the aircon part. Lame excuses lah, lousy material means lousy material. :faint:

If it is socket problem, the shorting would occur "upstream" before the plug. In this case, your circuit breaker would trip but the fuse in the plug would not blow.


If the fuse in the plug blow, it muz be something happened "downstream", after the plug or on the plug. Hence, there is no way the person who do the aircon or aircon wiring can deny responsibility.

Mine was Installed by http://www.airconservicesg.com and i am quite happy with them. So far no problem with my aircon.


You need to becareful and always look around to avoid being quote a high price. Also, if you are using it everyday, i would suggest an inverter, you can save more in the long run.

installed by your own company?

Hahaha, looks like the poster is self advertising. :evil:

In any case, aircon servicing is a minefield.

Any monkey can be taught to do simple cleaning and servicing. The nightmare comes when things start to go wrong. The servicing person will say it is not their fault, or that you need to top up gas or you need a new compressor.

The aircon company which I used is ISO 9000 certified. Yet they mess up my aircon (which they installed !! ) and I have to use a 3rd party to repair the damage they caused.

agree with hapydino posting..


air con servicing can be a nightmare. i have just shifted to my place for 15 mths and air con gave me problem..can u imagine that?

before they came to service, air con no problem, then told me installer did not give a good job. I do not trust my installer at all, did not have a good experience with them and really regreted not letting my ID to \"bao\" the aircon job during renovation. If let ID \"bao\", at least can ask my ID to handle the problem now.

Now air con not working at all, need to call LG down to check & hope it does not cost a bomb? Can we trust air con servicing companies people? I do trust mine initially cause my mum has been using them but now...I really dun know :?

Glad i found this thread. My units are ready for chemical servicing. Am going to try Coolserve as there’s many good reviews on their service. i always prefer companies who go for long term relationships with their customers.

I am using Coolserve and so far so good, I suppose. Thinking of asking them to change my air-cons for me also.


Is Coolserve better or Gain City?
