Introduction
The 10 questions we get every single day from Malaysian families considering home oxygen rental.
If you are reading this, someone you love probably needs oxygen at home — for the first time. Here are the most common questions, answered honestly.
1. Do I need a doctor's prescription to rent?
Strongly recommended but not legally required in Malaysia to rent a home oxygen concentrator. A prescription confirms the correct flow rate (LPM) so you pick the right unit (5L or 10L). If unsure, send us the doctor's note on WhatsApp.
2. Do you do same-day delivery in Kuala Lumpur?
Yes. Same-day delivery anywhere in the Kuala Lumpur Klang Valley if you order before 4 pm. Next-day delivery for Penang, Johor and East Malaysia.
3. Can I rent for just one day?
Yes. Minimum rental is one day, starting at RM 150 for a 5L unit. No commitment to extend.
4. Is the deposit refundable?
Yes, fully refundable on return of the unit in working condition. Deposits range from RM 500 to RM 1,500 depending on the machine.
5. Will it work with my CPAP / BiPAP machine?
Yes. Oxygen can be teed into the CPAP circuit. We supply the required connector if needed.
6. How loud is an oxygen concentrator?
A 5L unit is roughly 40–45 dB — quieter than an air conditioner. A 10L is 50–55 dB, similar to a refrigerator hum.
7. Can two patients share one machine?
Only a 10L with a Y-splitter, and only if each prescription is at or below 4 LPM. Two 5L patients should not share — purity drops below safe levels.
8. What if the machine breaks during my rental?
We swap it free of charge, usually within hours. Oxihome rentals include 24/7 WhatsApp support and a free swap policy.
9. Can I take it overseas?
Stationary concentrators are not meant to travel — they are heavy and need stable mains power. For travel, you need a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) which we can advise on separately.
10. How much electricity does a concentrator use?
A 5L uses around 350W; a 10L uses around 600W. Running 24 hours, that adds about RM 30–RM 50 per month to your electricity bill.
