Aircon servicing across the East region's towns

The towns in the East region were built at different times, and that affects what an aircon job involves. In HDB's Bedok town, 77% of flat units are in blocks completed in 1986 or earlier. In HDB's Pasir Ris town, 88% are in blocks completed from 1987 to 1997. HDB's Tampines town is split more evenly, at 34%, 36% and 30% across those periods (HDB Property Information). HDB towns do not follow planning area borders, so the census figures below, which are counted by planning area, will not match them exactly.

Older HDB flats: Bedok

HDB's Bedok town has a median block completion year of 1980, and its tallest block is 25 storeys (HDB Property Information). Before you add a new unit, find out whether your flat has higher electrical loading. Flats without it need an HDB permit to install new 15A power points for aircon, and a BCA trained installer must do the installation (HDB renovation approval).

Work on wiring or power points needs an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker. Licences are held by individuals, so ask who will actually do the electrical part (EMA). The Home Improvement Programme covers flats built up to 1986 and was extended to flats built from 1987 to 1997. Its essential works include upgrading the electrical supply and take about 10 working days in each flat. A precinct is upgraded only if at least 75% of eligible Singapore citizen households vote yes (HDB HIP).

Flats from the late 1980s onward: Pasir Ris and Tampines

Most HDB households in the Pasir Ris planning area live in larger flats: 17,180 in 5-room or executive flats and 11,809 in 4-room flats, against 356 in 3-room flats. In the Tampines planning area, 87% of households live in HDB flats, with 31,182 in 4-room and 24,136 in 5-room or executive flats (Census 2020). Bigger flats often have more indoor units, so count yours and compare general service or chemical wash quotes unit for unit.

HDB's Tampines town still has 29,594 units in blocks completed in 1986 or earlier, so the older-flat electrical checks above can apply there too. Its tallest block is 17 storeys, and the tallest in HDB's Pasir Ris town is 18 (HDB Property Information).

Condos, landed homes and Paya Lebar

Private homes make up a bigger share in Bedok and Pasir Ris than in Tampines. Condos and apartments house 21% of households in the Bedok planning area and 29% in Pasir Ris, against 11% in Tampines. Landed homes house 12% in Bedok (Census 2020). In a condo, follow the MCST by-laws, check with your MCST before the work, and get its prior written approval if anything touches common property (BCA).

For Paya Lebar, the official census table has no separate figures, so confirm your home type and access with the contractor yourself.

Tip: For a gas top-up, note that NEA's mandatory technician certification covers water-cooled chillers, not household aircon. ITE runs a Certificate of Competency in Residential Air-Conditioning System (Refrigerant) for home aircon refrigerant work, so ask whether the technician holds it (NEA).

Questions about aircon servicing in the East region

I live in Changi. Why can't I find a Changi aircon servicing page?

The URA Master Plan 2019 divides the East into 5 planning areas. Bedok, Pasir Ris, Paya Lebar and Tampines each have their own aircon servicing page on HomezyPro. Changi does not, because it is mostly non-residential. If your home is there, use this region page. Look for companies whose stated service areas include Changi or the East as a whole, then ask the company to confirm your address.

Will HomezyPro arrange the servicing visit for me?

No. HomezyPro does not book jobs or pass your details to anyone. Companies do not pay to be listed. You contact the company yourself through the options on its profile. Tell it how many units you have and what job you need, such as general servicing, so that its reply fits your home.

What does the S$23 to S$55 general servicing range for the East cover?

It is the spread of the lowest published rate for general servicing of one unit, taken from 15 East companies that print such a rate. The rates run from S$23 to S$55, and S$50 sits in the middle. Each is the company's own figure. Chemical wash and multi-unit packages are not part of this range, so check each profile for what its rate covers.

Does the age of my Bedok or Pasir Ris block affect an aircon job?

It can. In HDB's Bedok town, 77% of flat units are in blocks completed in 1986 or earlier, while 88% of those in HDB's Pasir Ris town are in blocks from 1987 to 1997. In older flats, aircon was often added after the block was built, so trunking, drainage and power points vary. Tell the company your block's age before it quotes.
