Some Tengah BTO flat buyers are unhappy over the "very ugly" trunking used to conceal the pipes of the centralised cooling system in their homes.

Centralised aircon cheaper ma. Cheaper on maintenance too.

Aiyah, this is before renovation lah. After renovation, the trunking will be hidden lah.

"Instead of using refrigerants to remove heat, the cooling system works using chilled water. Centralised chillers installed on selected housing blocks cool water, which is then ported through pipes that run through common corridors and into homes. "

Bullshit reporting;
The chiller still require refrigerants to cool the water and pipe to your unit.

Remember LKY said before " what free "

Is opt in one when you got the BTO flat there. I remember read the news on this.

Is centralised air con system. Those units want " will opt in and pay for a sum "
How they count how much you use i don't know.

It's good enough. You are buying public housing not private condo. Don't expect the trunking to be concealed.

these are like those multi million dollars condo with 24hrs centralised cooling system
they pay monthly maintenance fee

those multi million dollars condo has no open glass windows
how they keep cool is that the aircon runs 24hrs

Trunking Home for lizards

I think " some Buyer " wanna hack the wall completely but sadly cannot due to the trunking.

[sgh]

After live a few years wait they want to replace the pipe inside the trunking home owner will cry as need pay a lot of monies. Reason being the contractor need spend effort to remove the hidden and then replace the pipe! It is same concept as our home ceiling light. I used to buy very fanciful designer lighting when I got my flat. Years later I have stripped out all the fancy covers it has become botak. Why? For easier replacement of light bulb obviously. Contractor quote me change light bulb (include take down and put up the cover etc need time and effort) $28 PER LIGHTING? So your living room plus bedroom you go count how much you need to pay!!!!

Now I prefer rather ugly then fanciful and beautiful fittings becuz years later the maintenance cost is going to cost you a leg or arm!

Commercial properties usually have false ceilings to hide the trunking. Looks like HDB properties are not suitable for centralised air-con.

[sgbuffett]

I don't see the problem. People are given the option to opt out.

Main problem is they were not told.of .the trunking when they signed. Now that everyone knows should.not be an issue.

Even now they can cancel with 35% loss around $1.2K which is not much considering the house is costs much more.

One thing I don't understand is

Instead of using refrigerants to remove heat, the cooling system works using chilled water. Centralised chillers installed on selected housing blocks cool water, which is then ported through pipes that run through common corridors and into homes.  

How is the cost to each home calculated when the compressors are central.
