Aircon servicing Jurong West
General aircon servicing in Jurong West means cleaning the filters, blower wheel, fan coil and condensate tray, then checking drainage and airflow. In Singapore's humidity that is about every three months for a unit in daily use.
Why this is different here
HDB began planning the Jurong West new town in 1984, and the first flats in the wider Jurong area were completed at Taman Jurong in 1963. That construction era predates aircon as a standard fitting, so drainage was retrofitted and the fall along the run is often marginal, which is what produces repeat chokes.
What actually happens
- The drain pipe is checked for gradient and choke before anything else; in retrofitted runs the fall is often marginal to begin with.
- A vacuum pump clears the condensate line. Blowing it through just pushes the blockage further along the run.
- Fan coil and blower wheel are cleaned; in Singapore's humidity the wheel fouls faster than most owners expect.
