Buying a new aircon for your HDB, condo or landed home? These guides cut through the jargon and help you pick the right system, capacity and brand.

System 2, 3 or 4?

The right system depends on the number of rooms you need to cool and your household's habits.

  • System 2: best for 1-bedroom condos or 2-room HDB flats.
  • System 3: ideal for 3-room HDBs or 2-bedroom condos.
  • System 4: common for 4-room and 5-room HDBs or 3-bedroom condos.
  • Always match indoor unit placement with actual usage patterns.

Inverter vs Non-Inverter

  • Inverter compressors adjust speed to maintain temperature, saving 20-40% on electricity.
  • Non-inverter units are cheaper upfront but run at full power cycles and cost more over time.
  • For daily home use, inverter systems are usually worth the extra investment.

Choose the Right BTU

  • Small bedroom (9-12 m²): 9,000 BTU.
  • Master bedroom (13-18 m²): 12,000 BTU.
  • Living room (20-30 m²): 18,000-24,000 BTU.
  • Add extra capacity if the room faces the afternoon sun or has high ceilings.

Best Aircon Brands in Singapore

Midea, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu and Sharp all have strong service networks in Singapore. Reliability terms and installer expertise matter more than brand alone.

New BTO & Renovation Tips

  • Plan piping routes before false ceilings are installed.
  • Position outdoor condenser units where airflow and maintenance access are easy.
  • Consider smart controls and Wi-Fi modules for remote scheduling.
  • Book a site assessment for accurate quotes and load calculations.
