Day 8: 21 July 2008...Aircon Installation

Diana wanna arrange aircon installation on 18th, but because we couldnt decide on who to purchase the aircon from, we had to delay the installation. In the end, we decided to get from Winson (recommended by Diana). Guess that it would probably be better since Diana and Winson know each other and can communicate better on how and where to arrange the aircon n its trunking so that the trunking would not ruin the interior design.

We got the Mitsubishi Starmex System 4 inverter at $3800 from Winson. It's $160 more than Gain City, but Winson is willing to use the Armaflex insulation without additional cost, and he actuall makes 3 trips to our house.

-1st trip to look at our unit's layout n discuss with Diana on the running of the trunking

-2nd trip to install the trunking and pipings

-3rd trip to install the 4 aircon units and its compressor when reno is almost completed
