What a move-in condition check covers

A move-in check documents the aircon condition before you take possession: every unit tested under load, drainage checked, electrical confirmed, and findings written up. It's the right call collecting condo keys (especially inside the DLP window), buying resale, or starting a tenancy, when you don't want to inherit someone else's maintenance backlog. Common situations where a move-in check fits:

  • New condo within the DLP window

    Check early after key collection so defects get reported while the developer's still responsible.

  • Resale purchase before handover

    Know whether the aircon's working, or whether you're inheriting a maintenance backlog.

  • Tenant move-in

    Document baseline condition before the lease starts, so pre-existing faults stay clear later.

When a move-in check isn't suitable

If you already know what needs doing, skip the report and go straight to the direct service path.

  • Unit is working fine and just due for a clean

    General servicing is the better starting point.

  • You already know what's wrong and want it fixed

    Go straight to the relevant repair path. A condition report won't change a confirmed repair scope.

  • Property is still in active renovation

    Test after dust and ceiling work settles. New contamination otherwise masks the real condition.

What you get

Documentation, not just a verbal opinion.

  • Condition documented before handover

    Useful for DLP defect claims, resale decisions, or tenancy records.

  • Faults caught beyond a walkthrough

    Cooling, drainage, and refrigerant issues usually only show under sustained operation.

  • Follow-up work kept separate

    If servicing or repair is needed, we quote it separately so the inspection stays independent.

What we check before handover

We test every unit under load, not just switch it on during a walkthrough.

  • Cooling performance

    Temperature differential, consistency across rooms, and response time under sustained operation.

  • Drainage

    Condensate flow, drain pan condition, slope, and discharge path.

  • Airflow

    Filter condition, coil state, blower output, and duct integrity for ducted or cassette systems.

  • Electrical connections

    Wiring condition, isolator switch function, and breaker rating against unit load.

  • Refrigerant indicators

    Pressure readings and visible leak indicators where relevant.

  • Noise and physical condition

    Abnormal sounds, corrosion, mounting integrity, insulation state, and visible damage.

Every unit is run under sustained load and the findings are written up, so the report can support a DLP claim, a resale decision or a tenancy record. Follow-up work is quoted separately. How a job runs, from first message to booking.

Frequently asked questions about aircon pre-move-in inspection in Singapore

How much does a pre-move-in inspection cost?
$30 per visit. If the inspection turns up servicing or repair and you proceed with the quoted work, the fee is waived and you pay for the work only.
Do I get a written report?
Yes. You get a condition report documenting what we checked, what we found, and any recommended actions. Useful for DLP claims, lease documentation, or your own records.
Can you service the units at the same time as the inspection?
Inspect first, then decide on servicing. Combining them risks masking issues that should be documented before cleaning, especially during the DLP window where developer liability depends on the pre-servicing condition.
How early should I book after key collection?
As early as practical. The DLP clock starts at key collection, not move-in. Booking within the first few months gives you time to report defects and follow up with the developer before the 12-month window closes.
