All About Aircon (New, Maintenance, related components)

[Gecko]

We have had a Daikin System 4 for 10.5 yrs. No major problems. We did have leakage tho'. But that was due to the installation rather than the brand of the aircon.


Our usuage is moderate to heavy, especially in the last 5-6 years due to the kids. We use this company called Poh Meng for servicing. It has been about 7 years since we engaged them. $320.00 per year. Fair amount. Service has been generally good. Their recommendation(s) thru the years have generally been sound. The guy that comes down has been the same for the last 5 years. That helps.

We use Cool Serve for another place that we have. That place has 9 units :shock: ! Its about $650.00 per year. They were the company servicing when we bought the place. We kept them on after the expiry of their contract as Poh Meng couldnt quote something lower. The place is tenanted and everything is dealt with by the agent. I haven't heard any complaints for 2 years, so everything is alright, I reckon.

Last yr found an aircon service company who install a new set of aircon in my shop. After installing, check with them what is their charges like, Wow, I am impressed. Just $25/unit. My previous aircon service company charges at least $60 per unit. This is the normal unit that we install at home. Even after my staff heard his prices, also say that they will get them to service their home aircon. Now I have also change all my aircon servicing to them too.


they also don’t recommend chemical wash as they say will spoil the aircon more. My previous company sure to do 1 chemical wash per yr with us, and it is so ex.

This aircon servicing thing is really like getting a maid, a bit depend on luck to find the right one. If the servicing is so cheap, can easily service twice a yr, and should be more than enough.

Mine was Installed by http://www.airconservicesg.com and i am quite happy with them. So far no problem with my aircon.


You need to becareful and always look around to avoid being quote a high price. Also, if you are using it everyday, i would suggest an inverter, you can save more in the long run.

installed by your own company?

Go for Daikin, my trusted brand since I got married. More expensive but trust-worthy.


I had to overhaul my system two years back, got Natural Cool to install it for me. Piping etc, so nicely done up. :celebrate: Good sales and follow-up service. :love: Very happy with both Natural Cool and Daikin.

All hidden...I also don't mind new exposed piping but we have some guidelines to adhere to...ah.. well....if they want to make things easy....I am fine.......I just need the aircon to be up and running fast and actually Daikin is a reliable brand anyway.
