What Is an Aircon Servicing Contract?
Tired of trying to remember when your aircon is due again?
An aircon servicing contract takes that off your plate. Our annual maintenance contract covers four general servicing visits a year, one every three months, with priority booking. It costs less in total than booking four single visits, and you never have to remember to book.
Each visit is a full general service. Here is what we do every time:
- Filter cleaning
- Coil check and clean
- Drain line flush and drain pan check
- Refrigerant pressure check
- Thermostat and electrical check
- Airflow and temperature test
We remind you before each visit and keep a job record every time.
Contracts start from S$200 a year for 2 units. The price scales with the number of units, so a 3 or 4 unit HDB flat in Serangoon Central or Serangoon North is quoted by unit count. Repairs and chemical cleaning are quoted separately if a unit needs them.
Contract vs Single Visits: The Numbers
Here is how the two options compare for a typical 2-unit flat serviced every 3 months:
| 4 Single Visits | Servicing Contract | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per year | S$220 (S$55 x 4) | From S$200 |
| Booking | You book each time | We remind you, priority slots |
| Job records | On request | Every visit |
| Warranty | 90 days per visit | 90 days per visit |
The saving usually grows with more units. That is why many whole landed houses in Seletar Hills and Serangoon Garden, with 6 to 10 units, choose a contract over single visits.
Tell us your unit count and we will show you both prices side by side.
Who the Contract Suits
Multi-unit landed homes
Landed homes in Seletar Hills and Serangoon Garden often run 6 to 10 units, sometimes on multi-split System 3 or System 4 setups. Keeping every unit on a 3-month cycle by hand is a chore. A contract does it for you.
Landlords and tenants
Many tenancy agreements require the aircon to be serviced regularly. According to a HandyOtter guide on tenant and landlord responsibilities in Singapore, routine servicing every 3 to 4 months usually falls to the tenant, but the exact wording varies, so check your own agreement.
A contract keeps units in working order through the lease. A job record for each visit also makes the rental handover simple.
Anyone tired of repeat breakdowns
Most leaks, smells and weak cooling start with dirt. Units cleaned every three months break down less often. If you have had the same leak twice this year, a contract is often the cheapest fix.
How Often Should Aircon Be Serviced?
Every 3 to 4 months for units used daily. The Meteorological Service Singapore puts the mean annual relative humidity at around 82%, and it stays high all year. Units in Serangoon run almost every day, so filters and coils clog quickly.
A bedroom unit that runs every night is a good example. It collects dust and damp faster than a spare room unit that only runs on weekends. Read our full guide on how often to service your aircon in Singapore.
What If a Unit Needs More Than a Service?
During a contract visit the technician may find a unit that needs more. That could be a chemical wash for weak cooling, or a repair for a fault.
We never add this to the visit without asking. You get a fixed quote first and decide. Want to see how a contract would work for your flat? Send us your unit count and we will reply with your price.
