Here\u2019s a quick guide on how to save money on aircon prices and costs in Singapore:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"clear\"><strong>1. Compare aircon prices from different brands<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Home contractors often receive a commission from selling a particular brand. This is as true for some brands of furniture as it is for air-conditioning. This isn\u2019t always bad; just because they get a commission, it doesn\u2019t mean the contractor is just out for your money. At the end of the day, their reputation is also at stake.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, it pays to look around. Don\u2019t just take the contractor\u2019s recommendation at face value \u2014 visit different distributors, and see if there are cheaper options on the market, offering better aircon deals in Singapore.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"clear\"><strong>2. Match the BTU rating to the room size<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Air conditioners come with a British Thermal Unit (BTU) rating. The larger the size of the room, the higher the BTU of the air-conditioner should be. This is a general guide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small rooms e.g. bedroom (150 square feet or below): 6,000 BTUs<\/li>\n<li>Larger rooms e.g. living room (up to 350 square feet): 9,000 BTUs<\/li>\n<li>Very large rooms e.g. living rooms in landed properties (500 square feet or above): 10,000 to 15,000 BTUs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that higher BTUs doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean better. If you use a powerful air-conditioner in a small room (e.g. 14,000 BTUs for a 150 square foot bedroom), it will cool the room much faster, but the temperature will fall much faster than the humidity levels. This would cause the walls to feel damp, potentially damaging wallpaper or warping wooden floors over time.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you use an underpowered air-conditioner, you will run up higher bills by having to set the air-conditioner on full power, for a longer time. You will also wear out the unit faster.<\/p>\n<p>If you intend to install air conditioning in a kitchen, add 4,000 to the recommended BTU for its corresponding floor area. Note that it is not advisable to install air conditioning in a kitchen \u2013 this will trap smells. The kitchen aircon unit will also require more constant servicing.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the higher the BTU the more expensive the unit tends to be. So, homeowners should match the BTU of the unit to the room size, in order to save cost on aircon prices.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20294\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/savings-aircon-prices-costs-singapore-btu.jpg\" alt=\"savings aircon prices costs Singapore BTU\" width=\"720\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aircon savings tip: Match BTU rating of unit to room size.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"clear\"><strong>3. Don\u2019t bother using silenced units for large rooms<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some air-conditioners are more expensive because you don\u2019t hear the signature \u201cdrone\u201d when it\u2019s switched on.<\/p>\n<p>This is only a feature worth paying for if you are air-conditioning a small bedroom. For master bedrooms (200 square feet or more) or living rooms, the silent running is irrelevant. In large spaces, you will probably not notice the sound anyway.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"clear\"><strong>4. Match your usage to the right energy efficiency\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The air-conditioner\u2019s Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) measures how efficiently it uses electricity. The base number is 10 \u2014 this is a legal requirement.<\/p>\n<p>For every point above 10, the power cost will be about 10% lower over a month of use. This translates to lower electricity bills, but often a higher initial cost. Is it worth the trade-off?<\/p>\n<p>That depends on how often you use the air-conditioner.<\/p>\n<p>If you only turn on the air-conditioner two or three times a week, you are not likely to see much savings from a higher EER. You might be able to save on aircon prices by getting a cheaper, less efficient unit.<\/p>\n<p>If you use the air-conditioner every night, however, you will probably save more with an efficient unit in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you may want a higher EER to be more eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"extendsBeyondTextColumn aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/cgblogassets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/27073549\/small-bedroom.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/cgblogassets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/27073549\/small-bedroom.jpg 830w, https:\/\/s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/cgblogassets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/27073549\/small-bedroom-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/cgblogassets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/27073549\/small-bedroom-720x286.jpg 720w\" alt=\"small bedroom save on aircon prices\" width=\"830\" height=\"330\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"clear\"><strong>5. Get an extended warranty for bedroom units<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you will use the air conditioner every night, it\u2019s a good idea to buy the extended warranty. This normally costs under S$200. A leaking air-conditioner can cost you almost that much to fix anyway, and a damaged compressor can run up costs of around S$600.<\/p>\n<p>You may want to skip extended warranties on living room units if you use them less frequently (and can live without them if they malfunction).<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT: Note that the warranty is almost always from the seller, not the manufacturer. So if the seller closes shop, you may be left in the lurch. Get extended warranties only from proven companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"clear\"><strong>Bonus Secret: Use the right credit card to buy aircon units<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Buying an aircon unit costs several thousand dollars at least, so use the right\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/credit-card\/best-deals\/results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cashback or rewards credit card<\/a> to earn cashback, rewards or air miles.\u00a0Just remember to pay you resulting bill in full as you cannot claim rewards or cashback if your account is in bad standing.
