    Sayang din eh. It's less than 2 years old and still quiet.

    Bro may I know your location? We also need ac repair - noisy compressor bearing daw sabi nung nag linis.
    Ipa-estimate sana namin magagastos sa repair.

    Thanks in advance.

    Compressor bearing is compressor replacement. Not worth repairing imo. Was the outdoor unit under the sun? Which model btw

    Aww sabi nung naglinis nasa 2500 daw - gusto ko sana canvass muna sa iba... Sa fan ba may bearing or same lang un?
    Nasa 2nd floor terrace ang outdoor unit pero di naman under direct sunlight.

    Yeah parang yung dating pinupuntahan namin that insisted on using chemical cleaners para malinis daw ang fins. Also insisted that ice on the coil is a sign of good cooling.

    Hi Just, how's your Daikin? Considering having one installed also in our sala dahil sa sobrang init, how much na kaya ang going price ngayon, complete with installation? 1.5 hp or 2.0 hp? Area is around 40 sqm, but with 2nd floor na around 20sqm.

    tama bro, i got 5 brands installed in my place (Panasonic, LG, Carrier, Sharp, Samsung). ganyan din sa car brand hindi iisa
    itong biggest air-conditioning contractor dito sa eLyU is highly recommending hitachi brand. they carries all aircon brand naman kaya depende na lang sa preference ng kliyente. sirain nga daw ang Samsung pero meron kami 1-unit at maayos pa naman ang takbo sa ngayon.
    mas tipid daw ang power consumption ng hitachi at 2 daw ang board nya. so bale mas madaling magpalit pag nasira. sabi sa akin... pansinin mo lahat ang mga aircon units ng 7-11 na naka-install puro hitachi that runs 24/7 (totoo nga ito dito sa amin)
    nung tinanong ko ang price ay medyo pricey sya. kaya non-hitachi brand ang pina-install ko sa kanya!

    ang pinaka-importante sa lahat sa akin ay yung reputable installer at proper maintenance. pag maayos ang installation siguradong tatagal ang aircon unit mo.
