Have you noticed your air conditioner struggling to beat the afternoon heat lately? You might turn the temperature down, but the room still feels warm and sticky. We see this frustration constantly across Singapore.
The local humidity averages around 84% in 2026, which forces cooling systems into overdrive. Our founders, James Tan and Sandra Lim, established iCare Aircon in 2016 to solve this exact problem. An Aircon Chemical Wash offers a straightforward way to refresh your system completely.
It clears out hidden grime, helps lower electricity bills, and brings back that crisp breeze.
We want to walk you through the exact steps so you can make the best choice for your home.
When Chemical Wash Is the Right Call
A musty smell hitting your face when the unit turns on is a clear sign. Your system might also take much longer to cool the room than it did last year. We always recommend a chemical wash when routine maintenance no longer does the trick.
Basic servicing only removes surface dirt and dust. Our technicians use NEA-permitted alkaline-based cleaners to go much deeper.
These specialized treatments dismantle the indoor blower to target the coils and fan directly. They dissolve the stubborn biological buildup, like Aspergillus mold spores, that plain water and brushes simply cannot touch.
We see this need arise most frequently in three specific scenarios:
- HDB and condo living rooms running for over six hours daily.
- Homes with pets, smokers, or family members dealing with asthma.
- Units older than three years that have only received basic wipe-downs.
Mold thrives in Singapore because of the constant moisture in the air. Studies show that accumulated dirt and fungi block airflow significantly over time.
Our chemical treatments eliminate these harmful allergens completely. This deep clean protects your family and improves indoor air quality.
What’s Included in an iCare Chemical Wash
Every service visit follows a strict, step-by-step process. The brand of your air conditioner does not change the thorough approach. We make sure every essential component gets maximum attention.
Here is exactly what happens during your appointment:
- Indoor unit dismantle: The front cover, filters, blower wheel, and coil cover are removed.
- Targeted chemical treatment: Coils and fans receive a child-safe, pet-friendly wash using NEA-permitted agents.
- Deep drainage flush: The drain pipe gets cleared from end to end, right out to the outdoor exit.
- Reassembly and testing: The unit is put back together for a full cooling and airflow test.
- Clear documentation: Final airflow and temperature readings are recorded and sent directly to your phone.
We tackle multi-unit jobs in a way that minimizes disruption to your day. Most typical Singapore condos have three or four fan coils.
Our team works through them sequentially to restore cooling room by room. You will never be left sitting in a completely hot, un-air-conditioned house.
Transparent Pricing: From S$80 per Unit
Cost is always a major concern when booking home services. Many market rates in 2026 stretch well over S$130 per unit for a basic chemical clean. We believe in keeping pricing completely clear and affordable.
| Unit type | Price band |
|---|---|
| Standard wall-mounted (≤9000 BTU) | S$80 to 110 per unit |
| Larger wall-mounted (12000 to 24000 BTU) | S$110 to 150 per unit |
| Outdoor compressor (per unit) | up to S$130 |
| 5-unit residential pack | discounted bundle |
Pricing quotes are locked in before any work officially begins. You will never see surprise surcharges for pre-scheduled, after-hours appointments.
How It Compares to Other Cleaning Tiers
Choosing the right maintenance package can feel confusing at times. It helps to understand the financial benefits of a deeper clean. We often explain that a heavily soiled unit uses up to 15% more electricity.
Dropping your thermostat by just one degree below 24°C increases energy consumption by nearly 10%. Our detailed comparison helps you protect your appliance and your wallet.
Here is a breakdown of your options:
- Routine servicing (S$18 to S$22.50 per unit): Includes a filter clean, drainage flush, and gas pressure check. This is best done every three to four months.
- Chemical wash (S$80 to S$150 per unit): Involves dismantling and chemically treating the coils and fan. We suggest this yearly, or when cooling symptoms appear.
- Chemical overhaul (S$120 to S$180 per unit): Features a full dismantle with motor inspection and gasket replacement. This fits units over seven years old or those suffering from long-term neglect.
You do not need to guess which option is right for your home. Our technician will perform a quick diagnostic check upon arrival.
An honest on-site recommendation is given without any upsell pressure. We prioritize your comfort over making a quick sale.
Backed by a 90-Day Warranty + 7-Day Follow-Up
Peace of mind is just as important as a cold room. Most standard industry warranties in Singapore only last for 30 days. We stand firmly behind the quality of the work provided.
Every chemical wash includes a full 90-day workmanship warranty alongside a free 7-day follow-up check. A recurring fault within those 90 days means we will re-attend your property at no extra charge.
“Our post-service guarantee is simple: if the cooling drops or a leak returns, we fix it immediately at no cost to you.”
Our team initiates the 7-day check automatically. A friendly WhatsApp message will be sent to confirm that your unit is performing perfectly.
