Frequently Asked Questions


How do I schedule my quarterly service appointment?

You would have received an email order receipt when you purchase yearly packages from us and you can click on "Schedule". Alternatively, you can use your email address or the code in the email to retrieve your remaining services on our schedule page.

How often should I service my aircon?

Singapore has a humidity range of 65%-96% which means it's the perfect condition for mold to prosper unfortunately. Our recommendation is to service our aircon 3x or 4x per year if you are an aircon user throughout the night and if you use your aircon during the day and night, the best practice is to service it once a month. Home renters in Singapore are typically required legally to service the aircon 4x per year so check your Tenancy Agreement.

Will my aircon be cooler after a regular service?

Generally no, your aircon temperature is based on a number of factors like refrigerant and coil efficiency. Servicing your aircon will generally not create a cooler temperature but it could increase efficiency of your aircon if the filter is extremely clogged. Think of aircon service like cleaning your car interior, it will not make it go faster or quieter but it will improve your air quality.

Can I get free gas top up if I service my aircon with you?

This is a common misconception as there are many other AC contractors offering free gas top up. AC refrigerant(gas) runs in a closed loop system and will generally not require a top up unless there's a leak. Micro leaks can be difficult to identify as it is labour intensive so adding refrigerant would be the most cost effective solution. Refrigerant is a consumable and we priced our aircon service reasonably low so refrigerant use if any, will be chargeable. We could have priced $40 per unit for regular service and offer free refrigerant top up if needed but it would not be fair to most customers as majority of customers do not need additional refrigerant.

Do you carry out any repair work for faulty aircon?

Yes, you can make an appointment as "Aircon Repair" after you click on schedule. Most aircon faults can be resolved by replacing the faulty part but manufacturers may have stopped producing parts for older aircon units. We can always troubleshoot onsite at a small fee($50) and if it cannot be fixed, we can suggest an aircon system that can replace the faulty system. The fee will be absorbed by us if you engage us for the fix or system replacement.

We can accomodate changes up to 2 times, but if you have special circumstances we are willing to be flexible.
