About iAircon
Built by Uncle Eric. Trusted for 10 years.
Our story
Meet Eric Lim, aka Uncle Eric
Before iAircon, Eric had already built an aircon company once. He and two partners started it from scratch and ran it together for several years. Over time the three of them came to want different things, and Eric had one idea his partners only laughed at: an aircon company should make videos and show people its work. Videos, they told him, could never make money.
So in 2017 Eric left and started iAircon on his own, set on proving them wrong. For the first few years he built the customer base the hard way, one job and one happy customer at a time, with little time left for filming.
When Covid hit in 2020, he finally made time for the videos he had always believed in, starting with TikTok. They took off, and that is where many Singaporeans first got to know Uncle Eric. Today our focus is YouTube, where there is room to show a real job from start to finish and explain it in plain words.
10 years on, Eric still goes out on jobs himself, now with his son Evan beside him. And he kept building: our own booking app, a Telegram bot, an AI assistant that answers at any hour, and free tools that help you decide before you spend.
“They said videos could never make money. Today, hundreds of them show Singapore how we work.”

What sets us apart
An aircon company
built for today.
Most of what makes iAircon different, Eric built himself: the tools you use to book us and ask us questions, and the methods we use on the job.
Book in under a minute
Our own booking app, iaircon.app: pick the service, the number of units, the date and time, and pay by PayNow. Your booking is confirmed as soon as the payment is verified. No waiting for a call back.
How booking works →Book on Telegram
Prefer Telegram? Our Telegram bot books your service inside the app you already use, and keeps your bookings in one place.
Luna, our AI assistant
Eric built Luna so your question never waits until morning. She answers aircon questions on WhatsApp, any time of day. Bookings still go through our booking app or Telegram.
PowerJet deep clean
Our servicing uses PowerJet to deep-clean the coil, and the blower fan and drain pan come out to be washed. A deep clean without the harsh alkaline chemicals many others use, so the coil lasts longer. Eric built the first PowerJet himself in 2015, from parts he bought and put together.
Premium servicing →Gas leaks found, not guessed
We check the gas before adding any, and we trace leaks with infrared and ultrasonic detectors. A unit that keeps needing gas has a leak, and topping it up again is not a fix.
Gas leak repair →A free aircon size calculator
Eric’s own sizing rules, in English and Chinese: answer a few questions about each room and see the size each one needs and how to group them into systems.

How we work
Promises we keep.
Prices up front
Our prices are published on this website and in the booking app, and every booking is paid online to confirm it. No surprises on the day.
See our prices →A warranty on every job
90 days after a service, from 180 days on repairs, and from 12 months on installation workmanship (flare joints, piping and drainage).
We tell you when not to spend
A chemical overhaul only when a unit truly needs it. No yearly gas top-ups for a sealed system. And we do not move old aircons, because shifting an ageing system very often ends in a gas leak.
Homes, island-wide
HDB flats, BTOs, condos and landed homes across Singapore. Homes are what we know best, so homes are what we do.
