Aircon Contractor
Some time back I posted about Rennie who supplies aircon remote controllers. I also said she gave me the number for Bock Seng who is an AC service contractor.
Well last week, one night bedroom ac went drip drip drip onto parquet veneer flooring. Called BockSeng next day. He said he was busy and could we call him the next day. So another night without ac. Luckily had extra stand fans ($25 from Giant, Carrefore etc).
Following morning someone called us and said was it ok to turn up in half an hour? Fine (but wife grumbled as it was too early for her, she was just starting on breafast at 11am). Anyhow, long story cut short : a localised PRC Chang Ji Fei aged late 40s' arrived with a PRC guy (quite chye see type, not like local shitty contractor's workers) arrived on the dot.
PRC worker carried a ladder. Straightaway we were very impressed. We have used umpteen aircon contractors and they always turn up without a ladder, always asking us for a ladder (how many people got ladders, I mean people who live in HDB flats?) or a chair to do their work.
Got health reports of the compressor unit and dripping blower unit, quotes for rectification jobs to both, they got on with it, completed everything in two hours. Paid $140 ($80 and $60). Best money spent on aircon services ever!
Here's why. Needed to use running water for job of 'chemical' cleansing.
BUT, we didnt have any regular tap in the bathroom. All longbath taps and basin taps and shower sprays were fancy ones. Didn't even have a spare tap at the side of the toilet cistern (concealed one, what, what you expect?). So how, where to get running water?
No prob; Mr Chang had many tap adapters and one fitted our hand basin tap. And that allowed attachment of his hose.
Then, they checked and found no roof gutters to channel away wash water. Cannot allow wash water to simply flow down the roof and onto property of unit below our's (hey, we're not your average inconsiderate neighbours, you know). So how?
No prob; Mr Chang had aluminum trays - table top sized, square ones and long rectangular ones like those tables sizes in TingFook's Zia showroom. All with built-in tiny downpipes that fit standard hoses. So with a tray on roof under the compressor, a hose to our tap to provide flush water, another hose from the tray to deliver water back into my bathroom toilet bowl via a vacuum machine! as it had to get up over the window first.
Ok Ok, cut short story again, everything done, they brought down to the bulk bin all the old newspapers used to protect flooring, mopped up with their own cloths any drops on floor, and that's that!
And they didn't even knock any of our furniture or dent a wall or anything.
Straightaway, wife and I that afternoon planned and scheduled the maintenance service programme for the rest of the six AC blower outlets, and the compressor, for the next 12 months.
Update - Chang Ji Fei is his own boss now and his handphone number is 92381806. We shall continue to use his services when we move to Prive in 2013/14.
This BokSeng AC service contractor is highly reccommended. Don't forget to ask for his man Chang Ji Fei. BokSeng's handphone number is 97859497.
A bit longwinded, but hey, I prefer to dish it out in detail than having to entertain silly questions. Right?
