- Proof-of-work is built in: airflow is measured before and after with an anemometer, and coil photos are uploaded to the app.
- Chemical overhaul starts at $160 for one unit — recommended when a unit still smells or cools poorly after regular servicing.
- Diagnosis fee for repairs is $60, waived if you proceed with the fix.
- No hard-selling: technicians are trained to explain what they found, not push add-ons.
- Covers all major Singapore estates including Tampines, Jurong West, Sengkang, Punggol, and Bukit Timah.
Your bedroom aircon has been running since October. It’s June now. You noticed the air feels a bit stale, the room takes longer to cool, and there’s a faint smell you’ve been chalking up to humidity. Sound familiar?
Most Singapore homes service their aircon once a year — or when something goes wrong. But the engineers who design these units recommend every three months in a climate like ours. The gap between what we do and what the unit needs is exactly where mould, dust, and inefficiency accumulate.
Here’s what you actually need to know before booking.
What Does Aircon Servicing in Singapore Actually Involve?
A proper aircon service cleans the air filter, evaporator coil, drainage tray, and blower fan — then checks refrigerant levels and airflow. A rushed job skips the coil and the drain, which is where most problems start.
Urban Company Singapore uses proprietary FoamJet technology: a specialised foam is applied to the evaporator coils to break up dirt and biofilm, then jet-washed away. It’s more effective than a standard water rinse because foam gets into the fins, not just the surface.
You don’t just have to take their word for it. The technician measures airflow with an anemometer before starting and again after finishing. Both readings — plus before-and-after photos of your coils — are uploaded to the app for you to review. If nothing changed, you’d see it.
How Much Does Aircon Servicing Cost in Singapore?
Urban Company Singapore’s FoamJet servicing costs $23 per unit for a one-off booking, or $20 per unit on an annual contract. Chemical overhaul starts at $160 for one unit. Repair diagnosis is $60, waived if you go ahead with the repair.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| FoamJet Servicing (no contract) | $23/unit |
| FoamJet Servicing (annual contract, 2×/3×/4× per year) | $20/unit per session |
| Chemical Overhaul — 1 unit | $160 |
| Chemical Overhaul — 2 units | $280 |
| Chemical Overhaul — 3 units | $360 |
| Chemical Overhaul — 4 units | $460 |
| Chemical Overhaul — 5 units | $550 |
| Chemical Overhaul — 6 units | $600 |
| Condenser Cleaning — 1 unit | $49 |
| Condenser Cleaning — 2 units | $99 |
| Condenser Cleaning — 3 units | $119 |
| Gas Top-Up (R22, half) | From $49 |
| Repair Diagnosis (water leak, less cooling, noise, power) | $60 (waived if repair proceeds) |
For a three-bedroom HDB flat with three aircon units, a one-off FoamJet service comes to $69 total. On the annual contract at 4× per year, that’s $240 for the full year — less than a single chemical overhaul if you let it slide.
Regular Servicing vs Chemical Overhaul: Which Do You Need?
Start with a regular FoamJet service. If your unit still smells musty, cools poorly, or has visible mould inside after that, book a chemical overhaul. Don’t start with a chemical overhaul — it’s unnecessary if the unit just needs a clean.
A chemical overhaul fully dismantles the indoor unit and soaks every component in chemical solution to dissolve scale, mould, and biofilm that’s built up over months or years. It’s more thorough, takes longer, and costs more — but it’s the right fix when regular servicing isn’t enough.
Condenser cleaning ($49 for one outdoor unit) is worth adding if your outdoor compressor is dusty or partially blocked. A dirty condenser makes the compressor work harder and raises your electricity bill.
How Often Should You Service Your Aircon in Singapore?
Every three months for units running 8+ hours daily. Every six months for lighter use. Singapore’s humidity accelerates mould growth in drainage trays and on coils — annual servicing is almost never enough.
Families in Tampines, Jurong West, or Woodlands with children who sleep with the aircon on all night should be on a quarterly schedule. If you’re in a Bukit Timah landed property with multiple systems, an annual contract with Urban Company Singapore at $20/unit per session is the most economical way to stay on schedule without having to remember to book.
What If Your Aircon Is Already Having Problems?
Urban Company Singapore handles four common repair categories: water leakage, insufficient cooling, power issues, and unusual noise. Diagnosis costs $60 and is waived if you proceed with the repair. No repair is done without your approval.
Water dripping from the indoor unit usually means a blocked drain pipe — a fast fix once identified. Poor cooling is often low refrigerant or a dirty coil. Unusual noise is typically a loose fan blade or debris in the unit. The diagnosis tells you exactly what it is before any money changes hands.
How much does aircon servicing cost in Singapore?
Urban Company Singapore charges $23 per unit for a one-off FoamJet aircon service with no contract. On an annual contract (2×, 3×, or 4× per year), the price is $20 per unit per session.
How often should I service my aircon in Singapore?
Every three months if your aircon runs 8 or more hours daily. Twice a year is acceptable for lighter use. Singapore’s year-round humidity means mould and scale build up faster than in temperate climates.
What is a chemical overhaul and when do I need one?
A chemical overhaul fully dismantles and chemically cleans every component of the indoor unit. Urban Company Singapore recommends it when your aircon still smells musty or cools poorly after a standard service. It costs $160 for one unit, $280 for two.
Will the technician try to upsell me?
Urban Company Singapore operates a strict no hard-sell policy. Before-and-after airflow measurements and coil photos are uploaded to the app after every service, so you can verify the work yourself without relying on the technician’s word.
Is Urban Company aircon servicing available in my area?
Yes. Urban Company Singapore’s aircon servicing covers all HDB towns and private estates across Singapore — Tampines, Jurong West, Sengkang, Punggol, Woodlands, Toa Payoh, Queenstown, Bukit Timah, and more. Book through the app or website.
Your aircon works hard twelve months a year in Singapore’s heat. A $23 service every quarter costs less than one month of running an inefficient unit at higher electricity consumption — and it means you’re not breathing whatever’s been growing on the coil since last October.
