Aircon Clearance Detaling

Before we install the false ceiling, we always verify the air-conditioner clearance on site.

This step ensures there's enough space for proper airflow, future servicing and maintenance. It's a small detail that many homeowners never notice but getting it right now helps prevent unnecessary hacking and costly rework later.

At FT2, we believe every successful renovation starts with careful planning and precise measurements.

... Read moreWhen I first started renovating my home, I underestimated the importance of checking aircon clearance before installing a false ceiling. It wasn’t until I encountered issues with poor airflow and difficult access for maintenance that I realized why this step cannot be overlooked. Proper aircon clearance ensures there is enough space around the unit for air to circulate freely, which improves the efficiency and lifespan of your air conditioner. Additionally, adequate clearance allows technicians to perform routine servicing and repairs comfortably without having to remove parts of the ceiling, saving time and reducing extra costs. From personal experience, I recommend confirming clearance measurements directly on site just prior to ceiling installation. This helps identify any potential obstructions early and facilitates adjustments in design or materials used for the false ceiling. When working with my interior designer, we paid close attention to these details and saw a significant positive impact in both the aircon’s performance and the overall aesthetic of the room. Also, it’s worth noting that building codes or manufacturer guidelines often specify minimum clearance distances that should never be ignored. For anyone planning a renovation involving false ceilings and air conditioning, make sure to research and adhere to these requirements to avoid headaches later on. In short, checking the aircon clearance before false ceiling installation is a small but vital step that ensures comfort, functionality, and cost efficiency in your home renovation journey.

Aircon Plan for a 4 Room BTO - NO REGRETS!
➡️ Living room (plus 1 hacked bedroom): We decided to go for a stronger 24K BTU aircon, running on its own System 1 compressor (24K BTU), as this has to cover a large area. We also didn't want to combine this with other aircon on 1 compressor so that the compressor would be "dedicated"
