purpledino 1 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 Dear all,I am currently looking for an air con contractor, any reocmmendations on which company is the best/ most reliable? I am looking more for quality of installation/ warranty rather than the cheapest price, as i believe in paying slightly more now to have less headache later. Any one has any contacts? Can pm me/ list it on this forum?Thanks.PS: I started this thread as the 'buy aircon from...?' thread is way too long, can't find the info i want... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunky Monkey 2 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Inverter AirconditionersToshiba1 Toshiba 34000btu RAS-4M30YA/ RAS-M10NK x3/ RAS-M22NK x1 $ 3,670.00I am using Twin City. For RAS-4M30YA - S$3638. This was the offer price. I got a discount because I have ordered many ceiling cassette aircons as well. I think you should ask for another S$200 discount. Just tell them you checked with another aircon company, and this was the price that was quoted to you, inclusive of concealed piping and Class 0 insulation.Aircon companies these days are over-charging. Booming market for them. The original quotation I received was for S$29,660.40. And the site supervisor straight away gave me a discount of S$1660.40. Net S$28,000. And that's because I told my main con that if this sub con is expensive, I will revert to my old sub con Gavin Air.After one round of negotiation, and taking out some toilet window extractor fans, but aircon units unchanged, the quote came down to S$26,800.You just gotta remember that if they think you are in a time crunch and will not bother to get competitive quotes, they will give you cut throat prices.

Chunky Monkey 2 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 purpledino, my aircon contractor from Twin City has just finished the trunking in all parts of my house. I took these photos today to show you what they have done to 'bundle' the pipes together. I am not sure how this compares to all the other installations in town, but I am pleased the workers are neat and did what they did.Hope this helps. If you need a referral to get a competitive quote from Twin City, let me know. I would be more than happy to pass on my site supervisor's mobile number.

Chunky Monkey 2 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks! Just PM-ed you. Anyone has any contacts to pass me for me to get quote? Air con the most expensive electrical appliance so need to get a super reliable installer...Yes, I agree. I won't even bother with small companies. It is the big companies who have a reputation to upkeep. Try Gain City as well. I have replied you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Chunky Monkey, Found your post on a google search. We're looking for a reliable AC contractor right now. Given that it's been about 3 years since your post, would you still recommend Twin City? Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darth vader 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 i would strongly recommend hong tar. i just had a mitsu system 3 inverter installed by them. (1 x 24k, 1 x 12k, 1 x 9k). comes with 1/2 inch insulation & g23 copper piping. price? $3200. not the cheapest i believe, but its worth it for the neat installation and piece of mind. i will give gain city and best tech a miss.
