Air Con vs Air Curtain vs Ceiling Cornice...

8th November 2008

Just before noon, I went to the Land Transport department for my new car registration number. And then I managed to meet with Mr. Lai to get some advice regarding the choice of wall paint for the interior wall and also to get follow ups regarding the window, balcony design, wall cabinets, air con versus the ceiling cornice, air curtain and electrical application. After the meeting, I went to Gadong to look for some air curtain at Little Bean but I didn't buy any. Then I rushed to the post office at the old airport to get my birthday present from Brisbane.

Before rushing back to the site, I dropped by at TAIB bank at Kiulap and browsed to one of the electrical shop near the bank where I managed to get some air curtain at a very decent price as I bought at least 3 of the 4 feet long air curtain for the Formal Living and Informal living entrance. I also managed to get 7 pieces of the ceiling speaker at this shop plus a free Mistral exhaust fan for the maid's bathroom.

While at the site, I had an appointment with the air con man Mr. Baru, to discuss the air con position with the ceiling man Mr. Luis.

Mr. Baru from Bee Seng Mitsubishi air con marking the air con position at the wall for Mr. Luis. The final decision for the air con position in the Master Living Hall was to fabricate a box frame for both of the aircons in this room. The decision to hack the wall and re-work the copper piping was a bit riskier as it could result in leaks in the future. The other air con position in the Informal Living, Dining Hall and dry kithchen, the decision was to put the cornices around these air con without fabricating the box frame. While the other air con position in the guest bedroom and prayer room are save as the size of the air cons are a bit smaller than the other 5 air cons at the ground floors.

Soon later the air curtain installation workers were at the site to deliver the air curtains and to try out the space in the box frame. The air curtain could not be installed at the moment as some further work has yet to be done by Mr. Misbah for putting some cement above the ceiling and wall painting in this area before the air curtain frame could be fixed in this area.

It's really nice to have an airconditioner unit at home, especially split system because this will really make a big difference from our rest hours. We can sleep well with cool air and we will not be disturbed from the sounds coming outside with air conditioner.

The ideal location for a central air conditioning unit is on the north side of a house. While this may not always be practical, there are other ways to achieve this. http://waterdamagerestorationdallastexas.com/tag/mold-removal-dallas/
