BUYING GUIDES

System 2, 3 or 4?

The right system depends on the number of rooms you need to cool and your household's habits.

• System 2: best for 1-bedroom condos or 2-room HDB flats.
• System 3: ideal for 3-room HDBs or 2-bedroom condos.
• System 4: common for 4-room and 5-room HDBs or 3-bedroom condos.
• Always match indoor unit placement with actual usage patterns.

Inverter vs Non-Inverter

• Inverter compressors adjust speed to maintain temperature, saving 20-40% on electricity.
• Non-inverter units are cheaper upfront but run at full power cycles and cost more over time.
• For daily home use, inverter systems are usually worth the extra investment.

Choose the Right BTU

• Small bedroom (9-12 m²): 9,000 BTU.
• Master bedroom (13-18 m²): 12,000 BTU.
• Living room (20-30 m²): 18,000-24,000 BTU.
• Add extra capacity if the room faces the afternoon sun or has high ceilings.
