Aircon servicing Punggol
General aircon servicing in Punggol 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
Punggol's development started in 1998 under the Punggol 21 initiative. As one of the newest towns, its blocks were built with aircon ledges and drainage designed in, so servicing here is about keeping the fan coil and tray clean rather than fighting a retrofitted drain run.
What actually happens
- Fan coil, blower wheel and condensate tray are cleaned, which is where fouling starts in newer units.
- Drainage is checked but is rarely the root cause in blocks built with concealed piping.
- Filters are washed and dried before refitting; a damp filter puts moisture straight back into the unit.
