My old Samsung aircond is faulty so I decided to replace it with Panasonic aircond inverter 1HP model CS-XPU10XKH. The installation was done on 31/03/2023.
Why I Use Panasonic?
I use Panasonic because I have good experience with my other Panasonic aircond. I found that Samsung aircond is bit hard to repair and I want to add the new aircond to my Panasonic mobile app so I can control the aircond remotely.
Besides, I found Panasonic aircond is cold, really silent and energy saver.
The Installation
The distance between the indoor to outdoor unit is 29 ft. For the first 10 ft the installation charges is RM250 and additional one feet the contractor charges RM17.
It took around 4 hours to do the installation from 230PM to 630PM.

Last Friday my house’s electricity trip then suddenly I coudn’t swith on my Panasonic wifi aircond. It shows Network Error.
My Panasonic wifi aircond is using Panasonic Smart Wifi Control CZ-TACG1 Network Adaptor to enable its WIFI.
When I open my aircond cover, the status and link LED are blinking.
So from there I know I have to reset back my aircond WIFI setting.

I replaced my old Panasonic Econavi of 7 years old with Panasonic Inverter Aero Series CS U13KVH. I installed it together with Panasonic Wifi Controller CZ-TACG1.
Wifi Controller
I bought the wifi controller because I want to control my aircond from my smartphone and and can get errors notifications or problems with the aircond.
The mobile application allows you:
1) Set Timers
2) Control aircond temperature, switch on and off
3) Monitor the aircond power consumption
4) Monitor possible errors with the aircond

My master bedroom Panasonic aircond of 7 years broke down. I tried to repair it several times but it kept giving me problems. So I decided to buy new one.
Choices of Aircond
I have 2 aircond to consider as replacement:
1) Panasonic Premium Aero Series Inverter 1.5HP R32 gas (Model: CS-U13VKH)
panasonic aircond CS-U13VKH
2) Daikin Smarto Inverter 1.5HP R32 gas (Model: FTKH35A)
daikin smarto FTKH35A
Aircond Considerations
For the aircond, my major considerations are:
1) Reliability
I have 2 Panasonic airconds based on my experience it is reliable doesnt give much problem. Only thing I expect that my Panasonic could last at least 10 years unfortunately only for 7 years.
At same time, I have 2 Daikin airconds so far I cant tell much of it, because I installed it at my rental properties.
So far no complaints from my tenants so it must be reliable.
I asked few servicemen most of them recommend Daikin because easy to service and find spare parts. Panasonic also easy but not as easy as Daikin.
2) Energy saving
Both Daikin Smarto & Panasonic Premium Aero Series are 5 Stars Energy Saving
Panasonic 1,010W
panasonic premium inverter aero series power rating 1:5hp
Daikin 940W
daikin smarto power consumption 1.5HP
3) Smart Features
Both Panasonic Premium Inverter & Daikin Smarto can be controlled via your smartphone and can control it anywhere as it is connected via Wifi. You need first to install its mobile apps.
Daikin Smarto & Panasonic Premium Inverter, you have to purchase its accessories to enable the mobile apps use. You need to buy one adaptor for one aircond. So if you have 5 airconds, you need to buy 5 adaptors.
