Haiz... think the most viable option is to install split unit airconds at ground floor and second floor's living room, leave the centralized aircond off :xedfingers:
But, my wallpapers
..... the feature wall is a stone cum onyx wall, which is not possible to do any conceal piping, and the rest of the walls are wallpapered...

But the interior designer just told me, my PUB bill is not excessive at all, other of his clients are paying $2K plus, faintz!

Must, must really do something about this wasteful trend... its time. -
LED confirmed not as bright if talking about the same wattage. But it is supposed to last much much longer, although it is like 3 times as expensive. It is also supposed to be better for the eyes as there's something that's more constant although I can't remember it now -- saw this 'dunno-what' meter at those light shops when I went scouting for lights when renovating the house. The meter kinda showed LED doesn't flicker much c.f. with conventional lights and therefore protect the eyes more.
Also, apparently Singapore has one of the worst records when it comes to carbon emission, given how urban we are. Changing to LED will improve that situation

But I found this:
from what I understand, the ticks are meant to refer to energy consumption. Don't think they refer to water consumption.atrecord:
Actually I still don't quite know: for washers, does the label show that they are energy- or water-efficient? I thought they are water drops and not ticks (like the aircon, dryer and fridge?

Under energy efficiency, only has fridge, aircon and dryer.
Washer is not there, so maybe for washer it is not energy that is measured?
BTW, if anyone want to find energy-efficient appliances, can use the link above to check which products are good... -

:rotflmao: very funny!
A man once asked God: \"God, what is a hundred thousand years to you?\"
God replied: \"A second.\"
The man asked again: \"OK, um... so what is a hundred thousand dollars to you?\"
God replied: \"A penny.\"
So the man asked excitedly: \"Wow... ok, God, may I have a penny?\"
God replied: \"Sure... in a second.\" -

LED runs on DC. The lamp fixture will contain the necessary electronics to convert the AC to DC. The illumination is constant, it does not flicker.LED confirmed not as bright if talking about the same wattage. But it is supposed to last much much longer, although it is like 3 times as expensive. It is also supposed to be better for the eyes as there's something that's more constant although I can't remember it now -- saw this 'dunno-what' meter at those light shops when I went scouting for lights when renovating the house.

FL runs on AC. The light actually turn ON/OFF 50 times a second, same as the frequency of the household power supply. Hence it flickers.
Some flick-free lamp actually contains some electronics to increase the frequency to much higher, so that it doesn't affect the eyes as much.
Still, nothing beats LED when it come to flicker-free illumination..
So, Harlequin, another reason to do your part for the environment.. :evil:
