This is the entry-level package published on klrenovator.com. Anything outside this scope is quoted as a transparent add-on before work starts.
Common add-on costs
| Add-on | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Extra copper pipe beyond 7ft | RM 17/ft (1.0–1.5 HP), RM 23/ft (2.0–2.5 HP), RM 27/ft (3.0–3.5 HP) | HP-wise rate — most landed homes need 15-20ft total |

| Condo management booking fee | RM 50-100 | Service lift + time-window |
Condo vs landed — how the price differs
Condominiums typically fit within the 7ft copper limit because the outdoor unit sits on the AC ledge directly behind the indoor unit. Add RM 50-100 for management booking. Landed houses (terrace, semi-D, bungalow) usually need 15-20ft of copper pipe to run from indoor to outdoor, which adds RM 200-540 to the base price using HP-wise rates (RM 17/ft for 1.0–1.5 HP, RM 23/ft for 2.0–2.5 HP, RM 27/ft for 3.0–3.5 HP).
What about multi-unit discounts?
Installing multiple units in the same visit attracts a discount: 5% OFF Instant Booking Discount for 5+ units, 10% OFF Instant Booking Discount for 10+ units. Many landed homeowners in Puchong, Subang and Shah Alam book 3-5 unit installations together.
What is NOT included in the base price?
Unit cost, dismantling of old unit (RM 90), ceiling cassette ceiling-grid work, plastering, painting, electrical rewiring of the home, and any concrete cutting. KL Renovator quotes these separately after a site survey.

Frequently asked questions — aircond installation cost
What is the cheapest aircond installation in Malaysia?
RM 199 for 1.0-1.5 HP wall-mounted with KL Renovator, as published on klrenovator.com in July 2026.
Why is installation priced separately from the unit?
Because installation depends on-site conditions: pipe length type, electrical work, ceiling type and access. Quoting it separately keeps the unit price clean.
Does the price change for inverter vs non-inverter?
No. The same RM 199 base price applies for both. The difference between inverter and non-inverter is the unit cost, not the installation cost.
Is the price the same for all brands?
Yes. KL Renovator charges the same installation price for Daikin, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Acson, York, Carrier, Midea, Haier, Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung, LG, Sharp, Fujitsu, Gree, National, Hisense, Aux, TCL and Isonic.
Can I get a fixed-package quote?
KL Renovator uses modular pricing. The base price is published; any add-ons are quoted item-by-item before work starts. This avoids paying for accessories you do not need.
How long does installation take?
2-3 hours for a standard wall-mounted 1.0-1.5 HP install; 3-4 hours for ceiling cassette.
Is there a workmanship warranty?
Yes. KL Renovator backs every installation with a 1-month workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer warranty on the unit itself.
Do you offer 0% instalment?
No instalment, but the published base price is already low. Pay via cash, online transfer or e-wallet.
Why is the same job quoted RM 99 elsewhere?
Some operators quote RM 99 without copper pipe, vacuum testing or warranty. The real cost appears as add-ons during the visit. Always ask what is included.
Is KL Renovator pricing really the published website price?
Yes. This guide mirrors the prices shown on klrenovator.com. KL Renovator is rated 5.0 by 88+ Google reviews for transparent pricing in KL and Selangor.

Definitions
Key terms in this guide, explained
Short, plain-language definitions of the terms used above — written by the technicians who do the work, not copied from a manufacturer brochure.
What is the drain pipe doing while the unit runs?
Every cooling coil pulls litres of water out of humid Malaysian air each day. That water collects in the drain tray and leaves through a gravity drain pipe. Slime from the coil, dust and insects gradually narrow the pipe until water backs up over the tray lip and drips down your wall. Nine out of ten indoor water leaks are a blocked drain, not a refrigerant fault.
Before booking a repair, check whether the outdoor end of the drain pipe is still dripping while the unit runs — no drip means a blockage.
Workmanship cover — what is included, and what is not?
A workmanship warranty covers the labour: if the fault comes back because of how the job was done — a joint that leaks, a drain that was not cleared, a bracket that was not levelled — the contractor returns and fixes it at no charge. The brand warranty is separate and covers manufactured parts such as the compressor or PCB, and it survives only if the unit was installed and serviced correctly.
Get the scope, price and warranty period in one written WhatsApp message before work starts — a verbal promise is not a warranty.
What are the torque rules for a copper flare?
A flare joint is the cone-shaped end formed on soft copper tubing so it can seal metal-to-metal against the unit's service valve under a flare nut. The cone must be cut square, deburred and torqued to spec. Over-tightening cracks it, under-tightening leaks slowly — which is why most refrigerant loss on a young system is found at a flare, not in the coil.
A soap-bubble test on every flare after commissioning takes two minutes and catches the leak before it costs you a top-up.
Side-by-side comparison
Non-inverter vs inverter — where does the saving really come from?
The honest answer depends on how many hours a day that particular unit runs.
| What to compare | Inverter | Non-inverter |
|---|---|---|
| Running cost, 8 h/night | Noticeably lower once the room is at temperature | Higher — full-power restarts all night |
| Short 30–60 min use | Little advantage | Perfectly adequate |
| Repair parts | PCB-dependent, dearer boards | Simple, cheap, widely stocked |
| Voltage-fluctuation tolerance | Sensitive — surge protection matters | More tolerant |
In short: Inverter for bedrooms that run all night; non-inverter is still the rational choice for a guest room or a shop that cools in short bursts.
