Question 11

What is the difference between an inverter aircond and non-inverter aircond?

Answer

The main difference between these two aircon types is the energy consumption. Since inverter aircons have more adapting compressor motor, you will be able to save more on energy by having an aircon that is not constantly at work, as its speed will depend on the temperature of the room. However, the space and regulations of the building or property still need to be considered, if it permits installation of inverter aircon.

Question 12

Is the technician’s assessment of the property really necessary?

Answer

This is necessary to ensure that we can install the accurate system for your property. Assessment fees shall be waived upon commencement of service.

Question 13

What's the reason fo air conditioner leaking?

Answer

A leak can be caused by something as simple as a dislodged drainage pipe, making the water drain upwards, which, of course, eventually flows back into the unit and down your wall. In this case, it’s a simple matter of correcting the angle of the drainage pipe. However, there are still many reasons to cause this issue, contact our professional team for further information.

Answer

No this is not normal and should be looked into by an aircon specialist ASAP, as this could lead to further damages in your air cond.

Question 16

What’s the best option for the defective air conditioner? Should I repair or replace?

Answer

Repairs are always the more affordable options, but the more accurate decision will come from a professional aircon technician who can assess the actual state of the aircond.

Question 17

I can’t turn on my aircon without the remote control, is there anything I can do about it?

Answer
