A healthy aircon runs quietly. When it starts rattling, buzzing or grinding, something inside has come loose, worn out, or clogged up. Billy Aircon diagnoses the noise and fixes the cause. We cover Singapore island-wide, open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm, and there is no call-out fee.

What the noise usually means

A rattle or vibration is often a loose panel, a loose fan, or a fan blade catching on built-up dirt. A buzzing or grinding noise tends to point at a worn fan motor or a failing bearing. A gurgling or hissing can come from the refrigerant side. We listen, open the unit, and find which one it is before quoting any work.

How we fix it

If the noise is a dirty or clogged fan, a chemical wash clears the dirt that throws the fan off balance. Our non-dismantle chemical wash takes 45 to 60 minutes per unit and starts from $80 to $100 for a split unit. If a part has worn out, we replace fan motors, capacitors and the bits that rattle when they loosen, as part of a repair from $50. We diagnose first and tell you the cause and the cost before any work starts.

Need it sorted quickly

We run two emergency teams with a 24-hour response guarantee, so a unit that is grinding or screeching does not have to wait days.

Our work is covered

Every job comes with a 90-day workmanship warranty. If the noise comes back, we re-fix it free.
