Sales rep pushing for Toshiba commissions lor. ME Starmex has better volume, so spare parts even if things go wrong in the future, are much better than if you go for slow moving brands like Toshiba, LG, Samsung.

Besides, ME is the most serviceable brand out there

Gain City rep came to do site survey and recommended either toshiba or Mitsubishi system 1. He said toshiba was better, which I was surprised as never hear much abt toshiba aircon. Anyone has toshiba aircon?



Don't listen to them, do your own research. Toshiba they earn higher commission.

You can't go wrong with Mit or Daikin

You request to do a site visit to his house instead.

Check what aircon brand he is using. :s13:

Air still cold ?

You open the cover and see the coil, if all black then it's time for a chemical wash.

What if the front of coil is all silver and shiny but the output of air is in huffs and puffs? What kind of cleaning is required? Thanks

My aircon just got repaired from SgOzoneAircon.com today morning. The technician told me that they get approval to operate for aircon repairs, aircon not cold and water leaks. They said all aircon companies need approval to operate, they showed me the approval letter. Please make sure aircon companies can show you their approval.

Hope can help people who need urgent aircon repairs. call 67750378 :s12::)


Cant say I had a good experience with SGOzoneAircon. 1st time booked with them for regular servicing. When the guy came down (Keith or kenneth or something) he said my aircon condition was bad and needed chemical overhaul. Took his advice and paid $150 for 1 unit chemical overhaul.

2 months later, yesterday, 2 technicians from another company doing regular servicing showed me that it wasnt even a proper chemical overhaul and was done poorly as the fins at the back werent cleaned at all and choked. They explained how a proper chemical wash should be and that theirs involved more thorough steps and at almost half the price.
Will try theirs next and update.

Sucky feeling but I blame myself for not doing more research.

I contacted him around 8pm for aircon servicing,
and he come the next day 12 PM,

Help fault indicator on fancoil

Hi all,

Anyone know what is the error code for MHI, the fancoil unit is flashing green and amber for power, timer and not able to turn on. The technicians confirmed that the pcb is faulty and asked me to replace. The cost of the pcb is $180. My aircon is less than 3 years old.

I also wonder...suspect if they can actually secretly do something to spoil the aircon so we will re-engage them to fix. But im not knowledgeable in aircon parts so will not make any accusations. But i am curious

Hi, so did they do anything to cause it to spoil? I experience similar aircon not blowing cold air after the chemical wash. Ofc not immediately, but within the one month.

Upon checking, the motherboard (pcb) and fan motor in compressor unit was spoiled and melted due to trapped moisture.

Not sure if this is related or mot.

If engage back the company that install your sircon to do the servicing will it be more safe?

Some third party maybe initially cheap but in the end cost more. What do you guys think?
