When an air conditioning system isn’t working properly, it can seem like a life or death experience. It is certainly uncomfortable, and it can indeed be an emergency situation during the heat of the summer season. There are quite a few companies in Singapore vying for your attention, so you have plenty of choices when it comes to whom you hire for service repairs and maintenance.

Chiefly, you want to be sure that you hire one of the best companies in your local area. You want a company with a solid reputation and with a lot of experience. On top of that, you want to be quoted a good price. While you can certainly place calls to these companies and ask questions regarding experience and pricing, you would be amazed at what information you can find on their websites.

That would be a great place to start, as you need to look up companies in your area to compare them before making phone calls anyway. So let’s say you aren’t contacting companies about emergency repairs, for now, and you instead simply need normal servicing. You look at a site, and you see that the usual price is $40 a unit. That includes filter cleaning and the cleaning of the evaporator surface, plus a compressor health check.

Upon further investigation, you see that the work provided includes a 90 day warranty. Does that sound like a good deal to you? It is certainly a thorough explanation for a website in terms of what you get from an air on servicing company in Singapore. You can compare what you found to what a couple of other trusted companies have posted on their sites.

What about chemical washes? Let’s say that you look at a company site and find out that the usual price is $80 a unit. That includes the compressor, filter and evaporator surface work that was mentioned in regards to normal servicing. The extra would be the drainage pipe cleaning. And you’re again looking for a 90 day warranty for the work that is provided.

Then there is what’s called a chemical overhaul. If that is what your AC needs, hopefully you see a price quote somewhere in the ballpark of $140 a unit. You might also see that the usual price for contract servicing is around $280. What about an installation? And of course repairs haven’t been addressed yet either in terms of typical pricing. If a repair needs to be made, you are certainly wanting to get an idea of what the costs might be.

Find out what you can about the companies in your local area. See what they are going to charge you, and be sure there are no hidden costs whatsoever. You want a 100 percent workmanship guarantee, and you want a company that makes customer service a #1 priority. Once you have found the air con servicing company in Singapore that ticks all of those boxes, there is no need to look for another one the next time around.

Once you decide to install tiles in your home or office, do not attempt to install them on your own. A small error can make your tiles look ugly. And it is expensive to fix a botched tiling. Hiring a reputable tiling contractor  singapore is a guaranteed way of getting higher quality results.

However, finding the right tiling contractor is hard. That is why you need to do proper research before hiring a tile installer. Hire a tile installer that has a good reputation, has the best bids, has good reviews, and is highly recommended.

Here is how to hire the right tiling contractor.

Quality of the Work

Check out the previous work of the contractor you want to hire. A good contractor does not mind showing you its previous work, so check the spacing between joints. Make sure they are consistent. Also, make sure the grout lines are perfectly straight.

In addition, make sure the tile layout is balanced, especially in odd-shaped angles such as corners, windows, and doorways. This is important because custom-cutting tile is difficult, so only a skilled contractor can do this job perfectly. Hire a contractor that does an excellent job.

Request Bids

Ask several tiling contractors to send their bids in writing. A bid should include;

Firstly, the services the contractor provides such as removing existing tile, disposing of the old tile, sealing the grout, and installing underlying material.

Secondly, the materials that the contractor provides such as grout, sealant, and underlying materials.

Thirdly, the exact amount you must pay upfront. Avoid contractors that ask for the full amount upfront. You will complete the payment once the installation is complete.

You will get bids from several tiling contractors, so select the one that suits your budget.

Ask for Referrals

This is the easiest way of finding the right tiling contractor. Some of your friends and neighbors have hired these contractors, so they may know the best contractors in your local community. Ask them to recommend the right tile contractor.

They will tell you the names of the contractors they have had a good experience with. Ask them if you can visit them to look at the workmanship of the contractor. They do not mind showing you their installed tiles. By the way, looking at the workmanship will help you make the right decision.

Contact References

Last, but not least, ask several tiling contractors for their reference. The best contractors do not mind giving you their references. Why? They know how to properly install tiles and they do a perfect all the time, so they have a lot of happy clients.

Contact their references. Ask them if the contractor did a high-quality installation, adequately prepped the area, showed up on time, and cleaned up after completing installing the tiles. Do not hire a tile contractor that does not have references because it is hard to know the quality of its work.

In conclusion, hiring the right tiling contractor can be tricky, especially if you are hiring this contractor for the first time. You have to do proper research if you want to find the right tile contractor. Avoid a tile contractor you do not know or trust.

In 1980, an ad was placed in the Village Voice looking for gay men interested in playing soccer in an area of Central Park known as the Ramble. The few who showed up were unaware they were about to make history. This was the birth of the New York Ramblers, the world’s first organized openly-gay soccer club. The Ramblers provided a safe space for gay men, who enjoyed the sport, to meet and socialize outside of the traditional settings of bars and clubs.

Not long after the Ramblers’ founding, gay soccer clubs began forming around the country. This growing network of clubs established the International Gay and Lesbian Football Association (IGLFA) which brings together member organizations in competitive play. Since its creation in 1992, the IGLFA has had over 80 teams from more than 20 countries join its ranks.

Now entering our fourth decade, the Ramblers have traveled the country and the globe participating in various soccer tournaments, from the Philadelphia Pumpkin Patch and Provincetown Classic to the Gay Games, Outgames and IGLFA World Championship. And every spring, we proudly host our own tournament the New York Indoor Classic, drawing teams from all over North America and beyond. In addition to weekly practices and participation in leagues around the New York metropolitan area, we regularly organize social events from bowling to house parties to the occasional karaoke outing, as well as yearly traditions like the Annual Awards Dinner, and Winter Holiday Party.

The principal agenda of the Ramblers remains unchanged from the club’s inception: to provide a comfortable and fun atmosphere for all people to enjoy the competition and camaraderie of soccer, regardless of skill level, sexual orientation, gender, race or religion; to break down stereotypes about gay people in sports; and to forge new friendships as part of an ongoing Ramblers family.

The New York Ramblers Soccer Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization.
