Changing AirCon

Last week, my aircon suddenly didn’t work. We could turned on the aircon, but it just didn’t blow cold air. After a while, it turned off itself and the orange light keep blinking.

Actually few different aircon technicians told me it’s time to change the aircon. However, as long as it still worked, why need to change? So I maximised the life span of this aircon. So in total, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries lasted 15 years +.

I called the aircon technician, they recommended to change the motherboard of the outdoor unit, costed me $120, plus checking fee $40. It still didn’t work. So $160 gone.

I quickly went to the shop to browse my options, including Prism+. However I feel that the way Prism+ bundle their package with the service, it seems want to eat me. Some more their product is not proven reliable in the market.

Earliest installation was 1 week later. So we have to bear sleeping without AC for another 1 week. Luckily October is already cooling. So this 1 week is still bearable.

I ended up buying LG system 3. The design of the indoor unit is very modern and nice. I hope it will last around the same lifespan.
