Aircon Astiquer - Services .............................................................................................................................................................................................. General Servicing: (from $22.25 to $39each*, please refer to our published price list for more details) General servicing uses a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the aircon blower and clear the choke at the drain pipe, it is not effective in removing dirt, gel liked substances nor bad smell from the fan coil. The benefits of "general Servicing" is often overly stated. Claims that it helps to improve the air quality, prevent water dripping and prolong the life-span of the air conditioner is really an over statement. But i have to agree that it improves the air flow (if your filters are dirty), makes the covers look cleaner and that may make you "feel good", although you may already be falling sick from a bacteria infested air conditioner.

HydroJET (from $49 to $79 each*, please refer to our published price list for more details) HydroJET is ASTIQUER's proprietary cleaning method that uses high pressured water jet to flush the fan coil and blower. This method is used when the fan coil is not dirty but the circular fan blower is choked. Certain air conditioner models are built in such a way that the water tray (drain pan) cannot be dismantled (eg. Daikin FTK -9series, Toshiba inverter its newer series) or difficult to dismantle models ( Fujitsu, Fuji or Carrier General series). As such, there is a limited space for a vacuum brush to reach the circular fan blower. To clean the fan blower, a technician will have to dismantle the said blower (which will cost more), and often risk damaging the fan coil copper pipes. HydroJET is best suited for such application as said blower need not be dismantled and the powerful jet stream cleans better than to dismantle it and flushing with normal water pressure. .............................................................................................................................................................................................. ChemJET (from $98 to $148 each*, please refer to our published price list for more details): ChemJET is ASTIQUER's proprietary cleaning method that uses high pressure water jet and alkaline coil cleaner for a very thorough and cost effective cleaning and disinfection of the air conditioner. We are the inventor of the all in one air conditioner high pressure water jet cleaning machine, comprising of a regulated high pressure water jet cleaner, alkaline coil cleaner dispenser, wet vacuum, air blower, telescopic water tray support, wrap around water collection tray cum washing area, and a versatile pressure head cleaning mechanism. ASTIQUER started building our first machine in 2002, today, we have released the 8th edition with better and improved feature needed for a no mess on the spot cleaning need.

Maintenance Contract (Basic Plan)* (as per general servicing pricing, please refer to our price list: Do you really need a basic maintenance contract? Actually, the answer is NO, the benefits are often overly stated. So then, why are customers asking for a maintenance contract? It could be that customers are:
Ironically, it is better for any landlord to not have any maintenance contract than to get the cheapest quote and the wrong guys to come in and mess up the system. For details please refer to Wrong things technicians do that sabotage your system. Whatever the reason may be for you to take up a maintenance contract, we are keen to serve you. But please bear in mind that taking up a maintenance contract will not put an end to endless water dripping problem, bacteria infested air conditioner, nor low efficiency caused by a choked fan coil. It is common that even with a maintenance contract; a proper and thorough chemical cleaning is still needed after extended usage of the air conditioner. So please do not start barbecuing, burn essential oil or burn incense in your apartment after taking up a maintenance contract. The contract will not cover you against water dripping nor cooling inefficiency caused by excessive oil or dust intake. If you keen to take up a contract with us, you can be assured that it will be:
Maintenance Contract - Flexi Plan ( Strongly recommended) * from $120 per visit How many times have you asked the aircon guy to come and fix the water dripping problem only to have him come back again the next week? How many times have the aircon guy told you that despite having a maintenance contract, your air conditioner is very dirty and you need to fork out another $100-$150 for some "chemical servicing" and you go back to your landlord only to hear from the agent a few days later that the tenancy agreement states that all minor repairs less than $150 is to be borne by you? Flexi Plan is a win-win-win plan that seeks to enhance your interest, protect a landlord's investment and promote our good reputation. The root problem with modern air conditioners is that they are built more compact and as such they choke more rapidly; especially when used in a all year hot and humid place like Singapore, the fan coil can choke or become moldy as soon as 1-3 years. When it is choked, general servicing is only a quick fix solution, with quick return call that frustrates everybody. A moldy and bacteria infested air conditioner is no longer a concern whether the air conditioner belongs to you or not, you are the occupant and it is your health that suffers. Therefore, to solve the problem from the root is to conduct thorough cleaning method using chemJET, at least once in a year on each air conditioner, and yet not blow your budget. This is how flexi plan works: from *$120 per visit * only applicable to small/medium sized wall mounted air conditioners (certain difficult models may cost more) For example (4 fan coil units) : For example (3 fan coil units) For example (2 fan coil units) ***Should any repair be needed during service call, and the amount is ~$120 published rate you can choose to trade 1 x chemJET servicing for the said repair job, the filters will be washed (if necessary) .............................................................................................................................................................................................. Aircon Troubleshooting and repair
For more details click here .............................................................................................................................................................................................. Assessment and Report @ $78*: *waived for the 1st hour should rectification work be carried out during the assessment service call, pricing of repair and servicing is transparent and published on our website at http://www.astiquer.com/price. * Terms and conditions applies What does the assessment and report cover? You will receive an email report "real time". Normally, a simple domestic air conditioner should not take more than an hour for a proper diagnosis. But, commercial units may take loner time. Upon inspection of your air conditioning system, a picture can be taken and a report will be sent to your email account. Please note that we only provide email support, no fax, no printed copies. Based on our report, you can forward the email to any relevant person involved, for example, your landlord for any necessary action. Example of your email: Why should you be using our paid assessment service? 1) We are not selling new air conditioning system; we spend time really troubleshooting your system rather taking it as an opportunity to quickly conclude your system is beyond repair and needs replacement. 2) Often, your system is worth repairing but proper troubleshooting takes more time. Many components need to be properly inspected before concluding if your system is really worth repairing or not. Please note that Warranty for replacement parts is only applicable to that replacement part, not the entire system. You wouldn't like it when after replacing one item, there are few more in the queue. 3) Because we are putting our assessment in black and white and we are responsible for our assessment and recommendations. 4) Because we will be spending up to an hour troubleshooting, writing report and answering to you or any interested party's queries. 5) Because we respect your time as much as ours too! What is hidden in FREE troubleshooting? 1) Very likely, FREE troubleshooting is an invitation for someone to come in trying to sell you a new system. 2) You may end up having some quick fix solutions, and repair cost is expensive. If you took leave, waited a day, will you not get it fixed? 3) Some problems that may surface soon is not brought up to your attention. We have published as much information as possible on our website so that you can do basic troubleshooting yourself, or at least know what's causing problem to your air conditioner. Then you can check it against our published price list. Meaning, before you engage our service, hopefully, you will know what is to be expected. But if the information we've published is still not good enough, probably, it is not a very straight forward problem that you are facing and all the more you should engage our paid assessment service.
