The Best Window Air Conditioner Bracket | Reviews by Wirecutter

For HDB units that don’t have an Aircon ledge, you will have to install an Aircon bracket. It is usually located below the master bedroom’s window. The price for an aircon bracket is usually around $150. Be careful if the bracket is priced too cheaply, as you wouldn’t want this to happen to your Aircon :

There are multiple types of Aircon Brackets to choose from such as Normal L Bracket, Banchu Bracket, Fish Tank Bracket, etc.  There are also different grading to these aircon brackets. Unfortunately, unless you are experienced in the metal field. There’s really no hard and fast rule to determine if you are getting a quality bracket. A general rule of thumb is to purchase a bracket with a credible Aircon company, or in another words, us 😉

Typically you will need a 20 amp isolator or a 15amp 3 round pin plug to provide electricity for your condensing unit. For HDB units with Aircon ledge, it usually comes with one. For other hdb flat, if you see a 3 round pin plug, you are safe.

If you don’t notice one at your flat, you might need to install one for your home. It might involve installation of electrical cable from your D.B box. There will be additional fees incurred depending on the level of difficulty for the installation.
