Aircon installation quotes are hard to compare because two packages at the same price can include very different things. The headline number usually covers the machine and a basic install. The extras are where the final bill moves.
What to expect
A typical System 1 job with us comes to about SGD 1,000 to 2,000. Bigger systems depend on your home, so we quote those after a free site survey. Not sure which size you need? Read System 1, 2, 3 or 4? first.
What drives the cost
- System size and BTU. More fan coils and more cooling capacity cost more.
- Brand and energy ticks. Models with more ticks usually cost more upfront and less to run.
- Copper piping. Packages include a set length. If the compressor is far from the rooms, you may go over it.
- Trunking. This is the casing that covers the pipes. Check how much is included and what it looks like on your wall.
- Electrical work. New wiring or an isolator may or may not be part of the package.
- Drainage. A long or awkward route to the drain adds work.
- Old units. Dismantling and disposal are sometimes extra.

How we do it
We’re brand-neutral, so we install Daikin, Mitsubishi, Panasonic and other major brands without pushing one. Every installation comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty. Moving into a new flat? Our BTO installation guide has more to check.
Once it is in, a new unit still needs looking after. Here is how our aircon servicing in Singapore works and what it costs.
