Aircon Repair
Our aircon servicing includes a thorough inspection of your air conditioning unit to ensure optimal performance. Should one or more of your air conditioners malfunction, our skilled technicians will diagnose the issue and provide you with a transparent quotation for the necessary repairs. For popular models like Mitsubishi Aircon, we often carry essential spare parts, making same-day repairs a possibility. However, in most cases, a follow-up visit may be required to complete the repair. With prices starting from just $40, we offer reliable and affordable aircon repair solutions to restore your comfort swiftly and efficiently.
Aircon Installation
For frequent aircon users in Singapore, upgrading from a non-inverter model to a more energy-efficient system can be a wise investment. Instead of repeatedly repairing an outdated unit, consider replacing it with a modern, cost-effective model. We specialize in professional aircon installation services for both residential and commercial spaces, offering a range of trusted brands such as Mitsubishi, Daikin, Panasonic, and Midea. Let us help you enhance your comfort and energy savings with a seamless installation experience that meets your needs.
Aircon Chemical Wash
A standard aircon chemical wash involves cleaning the fan-coil units using a specialized chemical solution, without the need to dismantle the entire air-conditioning system. While we generally do not recommend chemical washes as a routine maintenance option, we understand that budget constraints or specific circumstances may necessitate this service. Should you require an aircon chemical cleaning, our prices start from just $60 per unit.
Aircon Chemical Overhaul
For a more thorough and effective solution, we highly recommend an aircon chemical overhaul over a standard chemical wash. This comprehensive service involves the complete dismantling of the fan coil unit, ensuring a deep clean that leaves no residue on the cooling coils. With a warranty period of up to 3 months and the added benefit of free aircon gas top-ups for 3 units or more, this service offers exceptional value and peace of mind. Our chemical overhaul prices start from just $90.

Aircon Pressure Test
Aircon gas leaks can occur in either the compressor or the gas pipes, but identifying the exact source of the leak is impossible through a surface-level inspection alone. The only reliable method to pinpoint the issue is through an aircon pressure test. However, this process can be costly, which is why we at Silverback Aircon prioritize transparency and care. We offer in-depth consultations to help you assess whether proceeding with a pressure test is the right choice for your situation. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and guidance needed to make an informed decision.
Aircon Gas Top Up
If your aircon is still cooling effectively, it’s likely that a refrigerant top-up isn’t necessary. However, over time, it’s natural for aircon systems to experience a gradual loss of gas pressure, which may occasionally require a top-up to maintain optimal performance. That said, if you find yourself needing frequent gas top-ups, it could indicate an underlying issue, such as a gas leak. In such cases, we recommend an aircon pressure test to accurately diagnose and address the root cause of the problem.
Can Servicing Solve Aircon Leakage?
If the water is leaking from the front
If the water leakage originates from the front of your aircon unit, a standard servicing can often help resolve the issue to some degree. However, if the leak is coming from the back tray, a more thorough solution, such as a chemical overhaul, may be necessary to effectively resolve the problem and prevent further leakage.
Aircon leaking water due to condensation
Water leakage caused by aircon condensation can stem from various factors, such as a dirty evaporator coil or obstructed airflow. But while standard aircon servicing may not fully resolve the issue, our team will conduct an on-site troubleshooting to identify the root cause of the aircon leakage problem and implement the most effective solution to restore your unit’s normal operation.

How To Do Your Own Aircon Servicing
While professional servicing is always recommended for optimal performance and longevity, there are a few simple steps you can take to maintain your aircon unit between professional visits. Here’s a guide to basic DIY aircon maintenance:
- Unplug the air conditioner or turn off the power. Always start by switching off the power supply to ensure safety.
- Clean the air filters. Remove the front panel and gently take out the air filters. Rinse them under lukewarm water to remove dust and debris, then allow them to dry completely before reinstalling.
- Wipe the exterior. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the aircon’s outer surfaces of any accumulated dirt or grime.
- Clear the drainage tray and check it for blockages or stagnant water. Gently clean it to prevent water leakage and mold growth.
- Inspect the surrounding area. Make sure there’s no obstruction around the unit that could hinder airflow, such as furniture or curtains.
And while these steps can help maintain your air conditioner’s efficiency, they are no substitute for professional servicing. So, for a thorough cleaning, inspection, and repair, trust Silverback Aircon to keep your system running at its best.
Tips for DIY Aircon Servicing
Maintaining your aircon unit between professional servicing can help ensure its efficiency and extend its lifespan. Here are some practical tips for basic DIY aircon maintenance:
🔖Always turn off the power supply before starting any maintenance work to avoid accidents.
🔖Clean the air filters to improve airflow and cooling efficiency. Remove the front panel, and carefully take out the air filters. Rinse them with lukewarm water to remove dust and debris, then let them dry completely before reinstalling. Clean filters improve airflow and cooling efficiency.
🔖Wipe down the unit. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior surfaces of the aircon. This helps remove dirt and grime that has accumulated over time.
🔖Check the drainage system. Inspect the drainage tray and pipes for blockages or stagnant water. Moreover, take time to clear any obstructions to prevent water leakage and mold growth.
🔖Clear the surroundings and make sure there’s adequate space around the unit for proper airflow. Avoid placing furniture or curtains too close to the air conditioner.
🔖Monitor performance. Pay attention to unusual noises, reduced cooling, or water leakage. These could indicate issues that require professional attention.
Common Aircon Maintenance Mistakes To Avoid
Proper aircon maintenance is necessary for optimal performance and longevity of your cooling appliance. However, even well-intentioned efforts can sometimes lead to costly mistakes. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid when caring for your air conditioning system:
🚫Don’t neglect regular cleaning. Skipping routine cleaning of filters, coils, and drainage systems can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and even costly system breakdowns.
🚫Don’t use harsh chemicals. Avoid using abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents on your aircon unit, as they can damage delicate components and shorten the system’s lifespan.
🚫Don’t ignore unusual noises or leaks. Strange sounds or water leakage are often early warning signs of underlying issues. So, addressing these promptly can prevent more serious problems down the line.
🚫Don’t overlook professional servicing. While DIY aircon maintenance is helpful, it cannot replace the expertise of a professional technician. Regular professional servicing ensures a thorough inspection and deep cleaning that DIY methods can’t achieve.
🚫Don’t hinder the airflow. Placing furniture, curtains, or other objects too close to the aircon can obstruct airflow, which ends up reducing efficiency and straining the system.
🚫Don’t skip filter replacements. Even with regular cleaning, air filters wear out over time. Failing to replace them when needed can compromise air quality and system performance.
🚫Don’t do DIY repairs without knowledge because attempting to repair complex issues without proper expertise can cause further damage and void warranties. Also, it can be dangerous, as in the case of aircon capacitor issues. Always consult a professional for repairs.
HDB/BTO Aircon Servicing Considerations
Maintaining your aircon in an HDB or BTO flat requires special attention to ensure compliance with regulations as well as optimal performance. Here are key considerations to keep in mind when servicing your air conditioning system in these spaces:
🔖Space Constraints: HDB and BTO flats often have limited space for air conditioners. Ensure proper airflow by keeping the area around the unit clear of obstructions.
🔖Drainage System Maintenance: Proper drainage prevents water leakage, which can damage your home or affect neighboring units. So, check and clean the drainage tray and pipes regularly to avoid blockages.
🔖Noise Levels: Be mindful of noise during servicing, especially in shared living environments such as HDB buildings. Schedule maintenance during reasonable hours to minimize disruption to your neighbors.
🔖Compliance with HDB Guidelines: Ensure that any servicing or repairs adhere to HDB regulations, particularly for external unit installations or modifications.
🔖Frequent Servicing for High Usage: HDB and BTO flats often rely heavily on aircon due to Singapore’s climate. Consider more frequent servicing to maintain efficiency and prevent wear and tear.
🔖Professional Expertise: Engage licensed technicians familiar with HDB/BTO aircon requirements to ensure safe and compliant servicing. DIY attempts can lead to violations or damage.
🔖Energy Efficiency: Opt for regular maintenance to keep your HDB aircon running efficiently. It minimizes your aircon’s energy consumption and lowers your utility bills.

OUR TESTIMONIALS
Aircon Servicing FAQs
- Will my parts get damaged during aircon servicing?
It is highly unlikely that your aircon parts will be damaged during routine servicing. Standard aircon cleaning primarily focuses on the fan coil unit (FCU) and does not involve component replacement. However, for certain brands, such as Mitsubishi, specific parts may need to be temporarily removed to access and clean hard-to-reach areas, like the drainage pan. This process is rare and performed with utmost care by experienced technicians. Rest assured, if your aircon functions properly after servicing, any prior issues cannot be attributed to the technician’s work. Our team prioritizes precision and caution to ensure your unit remains in excellent condition.
- Will servicing solve an aircon not cooling problem?
Normal aircon servicing includes a thorough inspection and troubleshooting of your unit, which can often resolve cooling issues caused by minor blockages or dirt buildup. However, if the problem stems from deep-seated dirt or clogging within the system, a standard cleaning may not suffice. In such cases, a chemical overhaul is recommended to thoroughly clean the internal components. Additionally, if your aircon displays a blinking light or other error signals, it may indicate the need for spare parts replacement. Our technicians will assess the situation and recommend the most effective solution to restore your aircon’s cooling performance.
- Is it worth signing up for an aircon maintenance package?
An aircon package, or maintenance contract, can be a cost-effective and convenient option depending on your usage and setup. If you rely on your aircon daily, frequent servicing is essential to maintain its efficiency and prevent breakdowns. In such cases, a maintenance contract offers significant value by ensuring regular care and peace of mind. Additionally, if your aircon is installed above sensitive electronics, such as a TV or computer, regular servicing becomes even more critical to prevent water leakage and potential damage. By opting for an aircon package, you not only save on individual servicing costs but also extend the lifespan of your unit and protect your valuable equipment. Our tailored maintenance plans are designed to meet your specific needs.
