The_King Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) My aircon: Cost: 18k BTU: 2 set of system 1 (daikin and mitsubishi electric) with material upgrade $2500 + extra wiring at breaker switch and isolator $500 = $4000 typically: 10-14 sqm ( 14sqm = 4M X 3.5M = 150.69 square feet) require 9000 BTU 15-18sqm ( 18sqm = 6M X 3M = 193 square feet) requires 12 000 btu 19-22 sqm (22sqm = 6M X 3.7M = 238.96 square feet) requires 18 000 btu What is my choice: My choice of material: 7/8 or 1" Amaflex Class 1 or 0 for expose insulator (outdoor ) 3/4 or 7/8 Armaflex class 1 or 0 insulation for indoor insulator 25mm uPVC drainage pipe with 25mm 90c elbow, tee etc.. and with at least 1/4' insulation Keystone wiring 4C40, 4C70 (4C70 is for Indoor fancoil, while 4C70 is for compressor to isolator) PSB Tested Gauge 21 or 22 copper wire Keystone, Sigma, DNE 2 separate system 1 and it independent of each other so it mean they will have their own trunking, owe isolator , own circuit breaker switch, etc.... mitsubishi electric : Maintenance wise it easier to clean and remove daikin: just want another installer from proshop to lessen the risk of getting a lousy installer but hoping i can find a good installer Summary: Area needed for aircon: 6.1m X 3.1m = 18sqm or 203square feet Reason for 2 system 1 by 2 different installer is that aircon is all about installer. no matter how good the aircon is, if you get a lousy installer then good luck. 2 separate system 1 is in case 1 of them have wiring or short circuit issues, water drain pipe choke, it will not affect the other aircon Others: Note: 1) Gas Pipe Diameter is 9.52mm for 9K btu fan coil, 12.7mm for 12k & 15k btu fan coil and 15.88mm for 18k & 24k btu fan coil 2) Thickness of the copper pipe generally range from Gauge 25(0.51mm) to Gauge 22(0.71mm) (Gauge mean copper thickness) 3) Recommended to set medium above fanspeed with temperature of 25 degrees. Reason Low fanspeed causes condensation as cold air is unable to dissipate from the coil efficiently 4) For those like to do self cleaning Starmex is easier to clean the blower 5) How the drain pipe should be installed is ideally should have a gradient. 6) The fcu should not be directly above doors 7) DIY aluminium foil window panels using cardboard to keep heat and sun out of your house (video at the end of this post) 8) The most widely used copper type for refridgeration systems is Copper UNS No. C12200 (Phosphorus Deoxidized Copper). 9) overkill is better then just enough (for BTU) Picture to show the diameter of what is 1/2", 3/4" or 3/8" etc.... for insulation installing this help to prevent aircon leaking Always remember, aircon is always about the installer, the aircon installer is the KEY to a durable and problem free aircon Edited February 2, 2020 by The_King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason for me getting a Concrete kitchen cabinets is low cost in the long run, and can be easily repair by a laymen like me in case the tile pop out. Why sink should be overmounting/top mount.(picture provided) The main reason for me to overmounting/top mount. is it can be easily replace by a laymen like me in case the rust, have issues etc..... cons of overmounting/top mount is the water on countertop cannot be naturally swept into the sink, as there is a ridge to overcome. but my current home is using top mount we use silicon to seal the gap between the ridge. so far no issues. so even if the sink leak, and with no wood and only Concrete kitchen cabinets, base and table top there nothing to worry about. just need to buy silicon for a laymen like me to repair Others: Concrete kitchen cabinets with overmounting/top mount sink plastic and aluminum kitchen door How it look like when it done (please take note, make sure Concrete kitchen have a base else it easy water/food will go in at the silding door frame.

The main Reason is cost . A normal refrigerator use around 300 kWh to above 600 kWh per year depending on the size of your refrigerator . A chest freezer use 0.38kWh/24hr or 141kWh per year Based on 19cent kWh In money term: 300kWh = $57 141kWh = $26.80 why have to get my freezer oversea instead of SG. Cause SG freezer all is very old tech, still using R134a gas and even SG R600a freezer is 1st gen where china R600a freezer is already 4 or 5th gen already. The power rated in SG i saw myself in the physical shop is 0.8kWh/24 or 297.6kWh per year (that is almost the same electricity used by a 2 door refrigerator ). China 4th or 5th gen freezer is R600a power rated at 0.38kWh/24 or 141kWh per year Pros of chest freezer: chest freezer is more energy efficient due to thicker insulation so can hold their cold temperatures well for a longer period mean even if blackout, a chest freezer can keep food cold for up to 72 hours after losing power! more energy efficient Because warm air rises, hardly any cold escapes when you open a chest freezer (as it door open upright), helping keep energy bills down. Manual chest freezers usually have a longer lifespan Most ice cooler like Orca Coolers, TechniIca Cooler, RTIC Cooler, Pelican etc..... all of them can have a Ice Retention of up to 10days Cons of chest freezer: manual defosting (1 to 2 times per year) need to bend down in order to take the item (it can be solved by using basket or clothes bag ) upright which take more space Do remember, a empty refrigerator use more energy then a full refrigerator . reason is simple, it harder to cool the air then to cool object say ice, meat, drink, frozen food etc...
