We recently just came back from our Stockholm vacation(another blog post soon) and were greeted with the crazy hot humid weather back in Singapore. It was an average of 7°c over in Stockholm and it is now about 33°C here in Singapore. The humidity is crazy. So the thought of getting an additional air-con unit to be placed in our living room crossed my mind.
I checked with the friendly people at GainCity Westgate and they told me that it is possible to add another compressor and fan coil unit to my house. (I was clueless if it was possible to add a second compressor and that I actually just need one fan coil unit instead of two to cool down the living room space)
So if any of you having the thoughts of having a cool living room where you can actually not sweat by sitting down, here's what you need to know:
1. If you are living in a 5-room resale house like me, you will require just one fancoil and compressor unit of 2400 btu to efficiently cool down the space.
2. You will require sufficient space (air-con service ledge) to add in the compressor. If you currently have one now, make sure there is enough space for another.
3. If you do not have the service ledge, then you will need to install the bracket to hold the compressor(additional charges apply).
4. Installation(inclusive of ducting and wiring) will require additional $200 +/-.
5. Ensure that the compressor you are getting will be able to fit through your air-con service window. Do check with your sales rep.
6. Waiting time for installation varies. During the
7. Cost of the Single Unit itself(exclude will range between $1k to $2k depending of the brand, quality and features available(air purifying etc). Clinics nowadays are using these.
8. If you are short on cash or finding it hard to fork out the lump sum of a couple thousands, most Installers do offer the credit card 0% interests installment plan which range from 12mths to 24mths.
So there you go. Hope that helps!
