What Affects the Price?

Unit type and size: Split ACs are the cheapest to service. FCU units are comparable but vary by access difficulty. AHUs and chillers are more complex and expensive to service — they involve more components, more time on-site, and often specialist equipment.

Unit condition: A unit that hasn't been serviced in two or more years will cost more to bring back to standard — heavy biofilm, blocked drains, and corroded fins all require additional time and chemical treatment.

Number of units: Most providers offer per-unit pricing, but volume discounts apply when servicing 5+ units in a single visit. This makes villas with many FCUs cheaper per unit than a small apartment with two splits.

Access and location: Units in confined ceiling voids, high-rise plant rooms, or requiring scaffolding access will carry an additional charge. Ground-floor split ACs with easy outdoor access are the cheapest to service.

Emergency vs. scheduled: Emergency call-outs (same-day, out-of-hours) carry a premium over the base service price. AMC customers receive priority support; ask us about the coverage for your property.

AMC or Pay-As-You-Go?

Pay-as-you-go service can suit occasional repairs. An AMC is designed for homeowners who want planned maintenance, priority response, and one trusted team looking after the systems in their property.

The right choice depends on your property, equipment, occupancy, and preferred maintenance routine. Homekeep can assess your systems and recommend a suitable scope without publishing one-size-fits-all AMC rates.

Red Flags When Getting Quotes

✕Prices significantly below market rate often mean the technician will upsell unnecessary parts once on-site.

✕No published price list — reputable providers list their rates; those who don't often apply variable pricing based on perceived customer budget.

✕Refrigerant top-ups offered without a leak test — low refrigerant always means a leak. Topping up without fixing the leak is wasted money.

✕Pressure to sign a contract on the spot without a written scope of work or price breakdown.
