How we price this in Malaysia
Malaysia national base ranges come from named Malaysian aircond-service and parts sources, in ringgit and never converted from another currency. Malaysia is a cooling market: there is no residential space-heating trade, so our Malaysian guide covers air-conditioning equipment only and says so where a heating page would otherwise appear. We localize with DOSM regional wage relatives (there is no Malaysian equivalent of the U.S. Regional Price Parity, so the price and overhead terms stay at the national baseline). SST service tax is 8% where the firm is registered, but servicers below the RM500,000 threshold charge none — treat 8% as a ceiling. The localization method and named, dated sources are on the methodology page.
