Why Brand-Neutral Matters

We don't push a brand. You choose.

Most big aircon companies in Singapore are tied to one or two specific brands โ€” they're distributors, not just installers, and they have real incentives to push those brands even when something else would suit you better. We're different.

Lion City Aircon is independent. We buy from the major suppliers, add materials and labour, and quote you the total. If you have a preferred brand, we install it. If you want our advice, we'll tell you the honest pros and cons of each โ€” Daikin's quiet operation, Mitsubishi's reliability, Panasonic's price-performance, Midea's value, and where each one falls short.

The buying-power tradeoff
Big distributors have lower unit costs because of volume. We have lower margins because we don't have showrooms or sales teams to fund. The customer ends up paying about the same โ€” except with us, you actually get the brand you want, properly installed.

The Two Things That Actually Matter

The materials we use โ€” and why it matters

Most aircon failures down the line come from two overlooked details at install. We don't cut corners on either.

Detail #1

Premium gas pipe insulation

We use top-tier single-piece insulation with an extra plastic outer layer on top of the foam core, not the cheap aluminium-foil wrap most installers use. No taping or gluing of joined sections โ€” joins are where insulation always fails first.

  • Single piece from start to finish โ€” no joins to fail
  • Extra outer plastic layer for double protection
  • Better thermal performance = lower running cost
  • Far longer service life vs cheap aluminium-foil insulation
Detail #2

Drainage pipe gradient & sizing

Drainage problems cause more aircon callbacks than anything else. We use a minimum 16mm pipe with 3/8" insulation โ€” and just as critically, we ensure the gradient runs correctly so water flows out instead of pooling.

  • Minimum 16mm drainage pipe
  • 3/8" insulation throughout the run
  • Proper downward gradient at every section
  • No flat runs, no reverse falls, no future leaks

Want a cheaper option? We do recon installations too.

We keep reconditioned aircon units in our office for customers who want a working aircon at a lower upfront cost. Same materials, same workmanship, same 1-year workmanship warranty. The only difference: no manufacturer warranty (because the unit isn't new). Useful for rental properties, short-term needs, or budget-conscious installs.

Installation Types

Every kind of installation job

New builds, replacements, relocations, renovations โ€” we handle every scenario.

๐Ÿ†•

Brand-New Installation

Fresh property โ€” BTO handover, new condo, new landed. Pipes, drainage, brackets, cabling, the lot. Best to coordinate with your renovation phase.

๐Ÿ”„

Replacement

Old aircon dismantled and disposed, new unit installed. Often reuses existing piping (subject to inspection). Significantly cheaper than full new install.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Relocation

Move an existing aircon to a new location โ€” within your property or to a new home. Dismantle, transport, repipe, reinstall and recharge.

๐Ÿ”ง

Trunking & Piping Work

New trunking runs, hidden routing through walls or ceilings, drainage rerouting. Common during renovations or when changing aircon location.

โ™ป๏ธ

Reconditioned Units

Recon (second-hand) units installed with the same care as new ones. No manufacturer warranty โ€” but our 1-year workmanship warranty still applies.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Renovation Coordination

We work directly with renovation contractors and homeowners during reno phase. Pipes go in before walls are sealed for the cleanest result.

Our Warranty Policy

Two warranties. Two different things.

Most companies blur these together. We separate them so you know exactly what's covered and for how long.

Lion City Aircon

1-Year Workmanship Warranty

If anything we did during installation fails within 12 months โ€” leaking pipes, dropped brackets, drainage issues, electrical work โ€” we come back and fix it FOC.

  • Workmanship covered for 12 months
  • FOC return visit if our install fails
  • Drainage, piping, mounting, electrical
Manufacturer (varies)

Brand Warranty (e.g. Mitsubishi)

Each brand has its own warranty. Example for Mitsubishi Electric: 1 year full coverage on all spare parts, plus 5 years on the compressor (just the compressor part โ€” not the whole condenser unit).

  • Full parts coverage typically 1 year
  • Compressor 5 years (just the compressor)
  • Other brands have similar but varying terms
The confusion most companies create: Many sales pitches say "5-year warranty" without explaining that it's only the compressor โ€” not the whole unit, not the PCB, not the fan, not the sensors. We'll explain exactly what your specific brand covers before you commit, so there are no surprises later.

Common Questions

Aircon installation FAQ

Quick answers to what most Singapore homeowners ask before booking an installation.

How much does aircon installation cost in Singapore?
Aircon installation Singapore prices depend on system size, brand and your specific setup. Rough guide: System 1 typically $1,000โ€“$2,000 depending on BTU size; System 2 around $2,000โ€“$3,000; System 3 $3,000โ€“$4,000; System 4 $4,000โ€“$5,000; System 5 even higher. Replacement (just the condenser unit and fan coil on existing pipes) saves on installation cost but the equipment cost still depends on size and brand โ€” a 9k BTU System 1 swap can come in around $700, a System 4 replacement is significantly more. Brackets for the compressor add about $150 if needed. Ceiling work, trunking changes or longer pipe runs add to the cost. We provide a free site survey before any quote.
Which aircon brands do you install?
All the major brands: Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy, Panasonic, Midea, Hitachi, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Fujitsu, Gree, York and others. We're brand-neutral โ€” we don't represent any single brand and we don't push customers toward one over another. If you have a preference, we install it. If you want our honest recommendation, we'll give you the pros and cons of each so you can decide.
Why does brand-neutral matter for aircon installation?
Big aircon companies in Singapore are usually distributors for one or two specific brands. That means they get incentives to push those brands, even when a different brand would suit you better. We're not tied to any brand โ€” we buy from suppliers, add materials and labour, and quote you the total. Whatever you choose, we install it properly.
What materials do you use for aircon installation?
We use premium single-piece gas pipe insulation with an extra plastic outer layer on top of the foam core โ€” the better-quality material on the Singapore market, not the cheap aluminium-foil wrap most installers use. There's no taping or gluing of joined sections, which is where insulation usually fails first. For drainage we use minimum 16mm pipe with 3/8" insulation, and we ensure proper gradient throughout the run so water actually flows out. These are two of the most overlooked details in aircon installation โ€” and the two that cause the most expensive failures down the line.
What warranty comes with a new aircon installation?
Two separate warranties: (1) Lion City Aircon provides a 1-year workmanship warranty on the installation itself โ€” if anything we did fails within a year, we come back and fix it FOC. (2) Manufacturer warranties vary by brand. For example, Mitsubishi Electric provides 1 year full coverage on all spare parts plus 5 years on the compressor (just the compressor part, not the whole condenser unit). Many customers get confused thinking this means 5 years of full warranty โ€” we'll explain what your specific brand covers before you buy.
Do you offer reconditioned (second-hand) aircon installation?
Yes. We keep recon units in our office and offer them as a cheaper alternative for customers who want a working aircon at a lower upfront cost. They don't come with manufacturer warranty (because they're not new), but we still install them with our same materials and 1-year workmanship warranty. Useful for rental properties, short-term needs, or anyone wanting cooling without the new-unit budget.
Do you do free site surveys before quoting?
Yes โ€” every installation quote starts with a free site survey. We come to your place, look at the room layout, existing trunking and piping, condenser placement, electrical setup and any obstacles. Then we give you an exact quote based on what's actually needed, not a guess.
How long does aircon installation take?
Depends on the job. A simple System 1 replacement on existing piping can be done in about 4 hours. A new System 4 install with full piping and trunking is usually a full day. VRV/VRF and ducted systems can run multiple days. We'll give you a clear timeline at the site survey stage.
Can you do same-day aircon installation?
Sometimes โ€” if our schedule and stock allow, and your situation is urgent (like a complete system failure). Most installations are scheduled within a few days based on customer availability, stock availability and complexity of the job. Same-day is the exception, not the rule, but we've done it before for emergency cases.
Do you handle System 4, System 5 and larger installations?
Yes โ€” every configuration: System 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 multi-split, VRV/VRF for commercial and large landed properties, ducted/concealed systems, ceiling-mount cassettes and portable units. We've done landed houses with 10+ fan coils and small commercial F&B fit-outs. WhatsApp us system details and we'll arrange a site survey.
Do you install aircon for new BTO/condo handover and renovations?
Yes. We work with renovation contractors and homeowners directly during reno phase โ€” the best time to install aircon because we can run pipes inside the trunking before walls are sealed, route drainage cleanly, and coordinate with the rest of the works. Get us in early.
Do you also handle aircon relocation?
Yes โ€” moving an existing aircon to a new location, whether within the same property or to a different unit. We dismantle, transport, repipe if needed, reinstall and recharge with refrigerant. Quoted on site survey because every relocation is different.
Which areas in Singapore do you cover for installation?
All of Singapore โ€” HDB, condo, landed, commercial. From Tampines and Bedok to Woodlands and Jurong, anywhere on the island. For BTO handovers and renovations we coordinate scheduling with your renovation contractor or builder.
