For residential use, aircon servicing is recommended every 3–4 months. If the unit is used daily or in dusty environments, more frequent servicing helps maintain cooling efficiency and prevents breakdowns.
What is included in a normal aircon servicing?
A standard service includes cleaning of filters, fan coil unit, drainage system, basic checks on gas pressure, and overall system performance inspection. It is preventive maintenance, not repair work.
How do I know if my aircon needs chemical cleaning?
Signs include weak cooling, water leakage, foul smell, or unusual noise. If normal servicing no longer improves performance, a chemical wash may be required to remove internal buildup.
Will servicing improve cooling and reduce electricity bills?
Yes. A clean system operates more efficiently, cools faster, and puts less load on the compressor, which can help reduce energy consumption over time.
How long does one aircon unit take to service?
On average, 30–45 minutes per unit for normal servicing, depending on accessibility and condition of the system.
What does aircon relocation involve?
Relocation includes dismantling the existing unit, safely transporting it, reinstalling at a new location, vacuuming the system, and recharging gas if required.
Can I relocate my aircon from home to office or another property?
Yes. Aircon units can be relocated between residential and commercial properties, subject to site conditions and piping requirements.
Will new piping be required during relocation?
In most cases, yes. Old piping may not be suitable for the new layout or length required. New piping ensures proper gas flow and long-term reliability.
Is gas top-up always needed after relocation?
Not always, but vacuuming and pressure checks are mandatory. Gas top-up is only done if levels are insufficient after reinstallation.
How long does aircon relocation take?
Typically half a day for standard residential systems. Larger or more complex installations may require additional time.
When is the best time to install aircon for a BTO flat?
Aircon installation is best done during renovation, before carpentry works. This allows concealed piping and a cleaner finish.
Do you provide aircon piping for BTO units?
Yes. We install high-quality insulated copper piping, drainage pipes, and proper trunking designed for long-term use in BTO flats.
How many aircon units are recommended for a BTO flat?
This depends on flat size and layout. Common setups include 3-system or 4-system configurations covering bedrooms and living areas.
Can I reuse my old aircon for a new BTO flat?
It is possible, but not always recommended. Older systems may be less efficient or incompatible with new piping layouts.
Do you help with aircon layout planning?
Yes. We advise on unit placement, system capacity, and piping routes to ensure optimal cooling and minimal visual impact.
Why do I need bird netting for my aircon ledge?
Birds can nest near compressors, causing hygiene issues, noise, and damage to wiring or piping. Bird netting prevents nesting without harming birds.
Is bird net installation safe and legal in Singapore?
Yes. Bird netting is commonly used and compliant when installed properly without obstructing ventilation or access.
Will the bird net affect aircon performance?
No. Properly installed nets do not block airflow or heat dissipation from the condenser unit.
What material is used for the bird net?
We use durable, weather-resistant netting designed for outdoor use, secured firmly to withstand wind and rain.
How long does bird net installation take?
Most installations are completed within 1–2 hours, depending on ledge size and accessibility.
