Is your shop or office aircon doing too much, with too little care? That’s the usual story we hear with commercial aircon servicing around Jurong.
We’re Aircon Servicing Jurong, part of Cool Earth Aircon, which Brian started in 2007. Over the years, we’ve seen the same few problems show up again and again.
Here’s how we handle them, in plain terms.
Why Business Aircon Needs Its Own Schedule
An office or shop aircon works much harder than a home unit. It runs eight to twelve hours a day, often six or seven days a week, and cools spaces with people, computers and doors opening constantly. In Jurong Industrial Estate and nearby areas, industrial dust settles on filters and coils far faster than in a flat. The NEA notes that Jurong and Tuas are where Singapore sites with pollution potential are placed, so that dust is part of the neighbourhood.
The cost shows up on your bill too. Singapore’s National Climate Change Secretariat says air conditioning is the largest energy user in buildings, at 40 to 60% of a building’s consumption. Small losses from a dirty coil add up quickly at that scale.
That leads to:
- Filter clogging and weaker cooling
- Higher power bills
- Water dripping onto desks or stock
A fixed service schedule stops those problems before customers or staff notice.
Units We Service
Wall-mounted split units
Common in small offices, clinics and shops. We service them the same way as home units, but usually more often.
A good rule of thumb comes from MET, a Singapore servicing firm. It says a typical weekday office can often stretch to quarterly visits. Server rooms and kitchens with near constant cooling need closer to monthly attention.
Ceiling cassette units
The square units set into the ceiling, common in offices at International Business Park. They blow air four ways and use a drain pump to lift water out. A choked pump or line is a frequent cause of drips onto ceiling boards.
Snowflake Aircon, another Singapore servicer, says a clogged drain pipe is the cause in most leak cases. Dust, algae and slime build up inside the line in our humidity. That’s why we flush the drain on every cassette visit, not just clean the filters.
Concealed ducted units
Hidden above the ceiling with grilles in each room. We service the fan coil through the access panel and check the drain.
Because you can’t see these units, a slow drain problem can go unnoticed for months. A quick drain check each visit catches it while it’s still a small job.
How We Keep Downtime Low
Your business can’t shut down for a day of servicing. We plan around your business hours:
- Evening slots until 9:00 PM Monday to Saturday
- Sunday slots until 8:00 PM
- Batch servicing, so part of the space stays cool
- Clear quotes per site, agreed before the visit
For shops, we can often finish before opening. For offices, after-hours visits mean staff never see us.
Contract or One-Off?
| One-off visit | Maintenance contract | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | First service, irregular needs | Regular visits, busy sites |
| Booking | Per visit | Scheduled, priority booking |
| Records | Receipt per visit | Consistent receipts each quarter |
Most businesses move to an annual maintenance contract after the first visit. Our guide on how often to service your aircon explains why longer running hours need shorter intervals.
What We Do Not Cover
We do not service central chiller plants or whole-building air duct systems. If your building runs on a central system, your management office will have a specialist contractor.
Everything else, from a single wall unit to a full floor of cassettes, is fair game. Send us your address and unit count, and we’ll tell you what commercial aircon servicing would look like for your site.
