Licences and permits to check
Servicing and repairing an air conditioner does not need a licence in Singapore, but some specific work falls under a legal requirement. Ask the installer which parts of your job need one. For HDB flats, the renovation guidelines say a new unit on a 15-amp power supply needs an electrical permit, so the installer should confirm the power point and the permit before the work is booked.
Season and heat
Singapore has no winter or summer. The climate is tropical, hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead, so cooling is used every month and demand for installation and servicing is steady rather than peaking in one season. Plan a service a few weeks before you need the unit at full power, and tell the seller when the unit must be working.
How the price is quoted
Prices are quoted per unit for a split system, per package for a whole flat, and per unit for servicing. Check whether the figure includes installation, the bracket and the piping, and whether a dedicated power point is included. Room size is given in square metres, and the seller needs the exact address to quote travel, for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio.
What to write in your request
Name the work: a new unit, servicing or a chemical wash. Add the number of units, the room area in square metres, any installation conditions such as an existing bracket or a high ceiling, the address, your deadline and your budget. A clear request brings offers you can compare line by line.
