Recommend a Good and Cheap Air-Con Service Company

[unity58]

Perhaps can try to call the manufacturer and ask for the cost of the replacement parts? Same warning I got from repairman when he suspected the capacitor was the problem with my aircon not blowing out cold air. Chargeable once he fixes it on and no guarantee on how long it will last as my aircon is very old.

Thks. So did you repair your and it working fine now? Which company did u you call to ask them to check? Cause my aircon only 6 years old and not on frequently so well maintained.

What does aircon servicing normally entails? Used my mitsubishi aircon for 4 years. Only wash and wiped the filters on my own. Wonder if need to do servicing and chemical wash? What is the usual frequency?

Sent from Samsung SM-G950F using GAGT

1 year chemical wash once. Some aircon really dirty easily as very heavy uses may need 6months once chemical wash per year. Not only the filter need to clean, the aircon blower is important too. Mould can build, its mould pores are bad for lungs causing flu & sneeze.
Normal service are just normal service. Chemical wash is more through and good to prevent mould formation.

The aircon company i used is SgOzoneAircon.com , they had a cheaper chemical wash which is not expensive. worth to try

yup...still working although the small motor controlling the louvers has since stopped working...heh. >10 year aircon used frequently. I got the contact from another group, so not sure about how good are their services I can only judge based on this one time
on how fast they diagnosed and did the replacement for me. Seems experienced and knowledgeable (maybe spoilt capacitors are common?). Also helped to wash the dirty compressor for me as he saw it was very dirty. Their boss is Edwin and contact is 9128-8938. cant recall the company name now though.

Hi all,

I hope I can get some advise. My compressor recently trip the power of the whole house. After that, the aircon can still be powered on but showing orange light blinking 6 times. I am using MHI and compressor model is SCM60ZJ-S1. I have asked my regular aircon cleaning guy to come and check and his findings is Main PCB 1 and fan motor short circuit and need to replace. He say after replacing he cannot confirm if the compressor will have issue or not as he cannot test run. Worse, he told me the replacement for the 2 parts will cost at least 1k. Is it so expensive? Anyone with experience can advise? I feel that it looks like way too expensive to just replace those 2 parts. Anyone can advise or help.

Thank You.

my friend had this issue though his was a mitsubishi starmex. could be the core electrical wiring issue, cos initially installed the installer wanna save cost and use made in china ones 3 cores and it melted thus causing the electrical tripping, whereas better ones made in singapore are 4 core wires, think re-wire involves running it from compressor to each FCU. ask another alternative opinion from different air con servicing company get a verbal quote for the repairs, pay him transport cost get them to test using the 4 core wire simply by tapping from compressor to a room FCU and switch on to confirm this theory, then see if you wanna nego should you engage that company to change out the core wires.

edit: my friend engaged coolserve to do it, he forgotten the actual costs to rewire with 4 core wire

That's the problem of getting a "cheap and good" contractor to install your aircon system and after that to get a "better and more expensive" contractor to rectify the defective work done by the first "cheap and good" contractor. So in the end, got any real savings or not ?

if one ain't working in the renovation/contractor or consumer aircon industry, it's hard to know and then 5-6 years later problem came out like in my friend's case. pay to know a lesson. does not apply in home aircons alone.

Please advice. One of my Fujitsu system 3 cannot be turn on by remote. Manual on ok and other rooms can be turn on by same remote. Was quoted $250 by a company to change the board. Is it a reasonable charge?? Any one encounter similar problem and solved with cheaper options??

 

[infernolord]

Can try this uncle too. Mr Yap. 9029 1655
They are a very nice married couple doing aircon together.
I think they are friendly and his charges are low.
Can just call and compare. Been using them for a long time.
Again they do not have facebook or advertisements but a few guys here do recommend them before.

Helping this uncle to promote....

Wow gas topup every 6 months?? Some aircon use 10 years also don't need to top up gas Unless there is an accidental leakage then need to topup. If consistent leakage due to copper pipings or joints then should find the leaking point and repair or replace it instead of keep on topping up. If the aircon company say no leakage but keep saying need to top up every 6 months... haha time to change an aircon servicing company!

Aiya 3 core and 4 core wire not the issue here.. the copper material and insulation the most important.. next time ask for Keystone wire.. Made in singapore.. u don't know...

See the wire insulation surface will hv the brand name...

Agreed, for wiring look for 3 core 40 strand for indoor unit to outdoor and for outdoor unit to isolator I usually will use 3 core 70 strand. So far key stone are the best..

You have to check with the contractor is it a sensor receiver that is faulty or indoor P.C.B

May I know what's the model for your fujitsu? As some may have separate sensor and some the sensor receiver is tgt with the indoor P.C.B

anyone tried Star Cool or KH Air Con before?

Any reviews about them?

Engaged big company G*** C***, disappointed. Paid for upgraded material but they used 2 Copper in 1 insulation. Drainage pipe also gave me 13mm. Should have gone for my friend recommendation. Small but trusted BCA registered company....

As in 2 copper pipe from your indoor throughout outdoor?

You have your invoice stated clearly what material etc or at least it state upgraded material?

No reviews yet but best is to check if they dismantle down the blower to wash during general service. But not all model able to dismantle

everyone need a expensive lesson to know that big companies are just well known. At the end of the day, its still the installer's experiences that counts. My first aircon also get from G*** C***. It only takes one year, my system3 turns system1. the other 2 aircon leak gas big time, gas topup 2weeks later fully leaked. i will curse them til i still have my last breathe.

Now i only recommend or use experienced aircon company. I used SgOzoneAircon.com , they had a cheaper chemical wash which is 80% of chemical overhaul but price is a big offer from overhaul.

Worth the try, experience really makes the diff, not price.
