What is an annual aircon maintenance contract?
Tired of wondering whether your aircon is due for a service? An annual aircon maintenance contract takes that question off your plate.
It is a preventive maintenance contract that covers four general servicing visits a year, roughly every 3 months. You pay one yearly price, from S$200 for 2 units, and get priority booking for each visit. That works out at S$25 per unit per visit, and it costs less than booking four single visits.
Aircon Servicing Jurong is the Jurong service of Cool Earth Aircon, which Brian started in 2007. Most of our contract customers are HDB owners in Jurong West and Jurong East who would rather not keep a servicing calendar in their heads.
Each visit follows the same checklist as our single bookings:
- Airflow: filter cleaning, plus a coil check and clean
- Drainage: drain line flush and a drain pan check
- Cooling: refrigerant pressure check and a thermostat test
- Safety and performance: an electrical check, and an airflow and temperature test
Who is the contract for?
Homes with several units
A four-room flat with a multi-split System 4 has four fan coils to look after. Keeping them all on a 3-month cycle is easier when the visits are booked for you.
The same goes for a flat with two or three wall-mounted units. One booking covers the lot, so no single unit gets left behind.
Landlords with rental units
If you own a rental unit, your tenancy agreement probably expects the aircon to be kept in working order. A landlord on a contract gets visits on schedule and a receipt every time, which helps when tenants change.
Our guide to aircon servicing before a tenancy handover explains what to keep on record.
Anyone who forgets to book
Most breakdowns we see started as a skipped service. Here is how it usually goes:
- Dust builds up on the filters and coils.
- The drain slimes over.
- One day the unit leaks or stops cooling.
Clogged filters also cost you money. Prima Services, a Singapore servicing company, says dirty filters alone can raise an aircon’s energy use by 5 to 15 per cent. Quarterly servicing on a contract stops that pattern before it starts.
Contract or single visits?
For 2 units, four single visits at the published rate cost S$220. The contract starts from S$200 and adds priority booking and reminders.
| Four single visits (2 units) | Annual contract (2 units) | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per year | S$220 | From S$200 |
| Priority booking | No | Yes |
| Service reminders | No | Yes |
For more units, or for a mix of home and small office units, we quote on request.
If you only want a one-off check, the general aircon servicing price list starts at S$50 for 1 unit.
What is not included?
The contract covers general servicing. These jobs are quoted separately:
- Chemical wash
- Chemical overhaul
- Gas top-up
- Repair
If a contract visit shows a unit needs one of these, the technician explains why and gives you a fixed price. You decide whether to go ahead.
How often should units be serviced?
For units used daily, every 3 to 4 months. Singapore is hot and humid all year, so units in Jurong run almost every day.
The Meteorological Service Singapore puts the average annual relative humidity at 84%, based on its 2018 climatological report. That damp air is why drain lines slime over and filters clog faster than many owners expect.
Our guide on how often to service your aircon goes into how bedroom use, dust and room type change that. If your units run daily, the contract is the easiest way to stay on a 3-month cycle. Message us with your unit count and we’ll send you a quote.
