Understanding Singapore’s Aircon Energy Efficiency Standards: The NEA Tick Rating (Updated for 2025)

The National Environment Agency (NEA) Energy Label is your primary tool for identifying energy-efficient aircons in Singapore. Since April 1, 2025, Singapore has significantly raised its Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for split-type air conditioners, solidifying its position as a regional leader in energy efficiency.

• The Tick System: Aircons are rated from 1-tick (least efficient) to 5-ticks (most efficient).


• What it Means: The more ticks, the less electricity the aircon consumes to provide the same cooling power.


• Key Update for 2025:
  
  
  • Single-split ACs now require a minimum 4-tick rating.
  
  
  • Multi-split ACs now require a minimum 5-tick rating.
  
  
  
  

Absolute Aircon’s Expert Insight: Always aim for the highest tick rating your budget allows. While a 5-tick unit might have a higher upfront cost, the long-term savings on your electricity bill will almost certainly outweigh it, often recouping the initial difference within a few years. The NEA’s Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor (CSPF) is the key metric used for these ratings, a higher CSPF indicates better energy efficiency over a cooling season.

Essential Factors When Choosing an Eco-Friendly Aircon

Let’s break down the critical elements that define an eco-friendly aircon and how to choose the best one for your needs:

1. Energy Efficiency (NEA Tick Rating & Inverter Technology)

• Go for 4- or 5-Ticks (Mandatory for new units from April 2025): As explained above, this is your first and most important filter. These units use significantly less electricity.


• Inverter Technology: Almost all 4- and 5-tick aircons in Singapore are inverter models.
  
  
  • How it Works: Unlike older “on/off” compressors, inverter technology allows the compressor to adjust its speed to maintain a consistent temperature. This avoids constant start-ups and shutdowns, which consume a lot of energy.
  
  
  • Benefits: Greater energy savings, quieter operation, and more consistent cooling.
  
  
  
  

2. Refrigerant Type (The “Green Gas” Inside)

The type of refrigerant (often called “gas”) an aircon uses significantly impacts its Global Warming Potential (GWP). Singapore has been proactive in phasing out harmful refrigerants.

• 
  

  R32 Refrigerant: This is currently the most eco-friendly and widely adopted refrigerant for new aircon units in Singapore.

  
  
  
  
  • Benefits: It has a significantly lower GWP (about one-third) compared to its predecessor, R410A. It also has better energy efficiency characteristics.
  
  
  • Absolute Aircon’s Recommendation: For new installations, R32 is the gold standard for environmental responsibility and performance.
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  R410A: While not ozone-depleting, R410A has a higher GWP than R32. New R410A air conditioners have been banned from import into Singapore since 2023. Existing units can still be serviced.

  
  


• R22: This older refrigerant harms the ozone layer and has been phased out globally. If your current unit uses R22, consider upgrading to an R32 system for both environmental and cost reasons (R22 servicing is increasingly expensive and difficult).


• R290 (Propane): A natural refrigerant with very low GWP. While highly eco-friendly, its flammability means it’s currently limited to specific, smaller units and requires specialized handling during servicing.

@bsolute Aircon’s Expertise: We are fully licensed and trained to handle all types of refrigerants responsibly, with a strong emphasis on leak prevention and proper disposal to minimize environmental impact. We always recommend R32 for new installations.

Right Sizing for Optimal Efficiency

An aircon that’s too small will struggle to cool the space, running constantly and wasting energy. One that’s too large will cycle on and off frequently (“short-cycling”), also leading to inefficiency and humidity issues.

• Cooling Capacity (BTU): Measured in British Thermal Units (BTU), this indicates the aircon’s cooling power.


• Room Size:
  
  
  • Small Bedroom (up to 15 sqm): ~9,000 BTU
  
  
  • Medium Living Room (23-26 sqm): ~18,000 BTU
  
  
  • Large Living Room (30-34 sqm): ~24,000 BTU
  
  
  • These are general guidelines. Factors like ceiling height, window size, direct sunlight exposure, and heat-generating appliances (e.g., computers) will influence the precise BTU required.
  
  
  
  

Absolute Aircon’s Experience: Our experienced technicians perform thorough site assessments to accurately calculate the ideal BTU capacity for your specific space, ensuring maximum efficiency and comfort without oversizing or undersizing.

System Type (Single-Split vs. Multi-Split)

• Single-Split System: One outdoor compressor unit connected to one indoor unit. Ideal for cooling a single room.


• Multi-Split System: One outdoor compressor unit connected to multiple indoor units (e.g., 2-tick, 3-tick, 4-tick, 5-tick). Ideal for cooling multiple rooms independently. Multi-split systems generally offer better overall energy efficiency for cooling an entire home or office as you can control individual zones.
  
  
  • New 5-tick MEPS for Multi-Split: This makes multi-split systems even more attractive for eco-conscious households in 2025.
  
  
  
  

Smart Features & Controls

Modern eco-friendly aircons come with smart features that further enhance energy efficiency:

• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Control your aircon remotely via a mobile app, allowing you to turn it off when you leave or pre-cool your space before you arrive.


• Smart Scheduling: Program your aircon to turn on/off at specific times.


• Motion Sensors (Presence Sensors): Some advanced models can detect if a room is empty and automatically adjust temperature or turn off to save energy.


• Energy Monitoring: Track your electricity consumption in real-time.

Brand Reputation & After-Sales Support

While not directly an “eco” feature, choosing a reputable brand with good after-sales service ensures your unit operates efficiently for its lifespan, minimizing the need for premature replacement. Top brands in Singapore known for energy-efficient inverter models include Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic. Look for brands that actively promote their R32 models and energy-saving technologies.

Government Initiatives & Grants: Making Eco-Friendly Aircon More Accessible

Singapore’s government is actively supporting households and businesses in adopting energy-efficient appliances.

• 
  

  Climate Friendly Households Programme (Updated for 2025):

  
  
  
  
  • From April 15, 2025, all Singaporean families (including those in private properties) are eligible for $400 worth of climate vouchers to purchase energy- and water-efficient appliances.
  
  
  • Eligible air conditioners must be 5-tick models.
  
  
  • HDB households that haven’t spent their previous vouchers will also see their voucher quantum increased to $400.
  
  
  • Absolute Aircon’s Advice: Don’t miss out on these grants! Check your eligibility and redeem your vouchers through RedeemSG (go.gov.sg/cv-claim).
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) for Businesses: Businesses in Singapore can receive financial support to offset the upfront costs of installing high-efficiency aircon systems, saving up to 70% on installation costs.

  
  

Beyond Installation: Maximizing Your Eco-Friendly Aircon's Efficiency

ven the most eco-friendly aircon needs proper care to perform optimally. @bsolute Aircon emphasizes these practices:

1. Regular Servicing: Crucial for maintaining efficiency and extending lifespan. We recommend servicing every 2-3 months for daily users. Our professional servicing ensures clean coils, optimal refrigerant levels, and proper drainage.


2. Clean Filters: Clean or replace your air filters every month or two. Clogged filters restrict airflow, making your unit work harder.


3. Optimal Temperature Settings: The NEA recommends setting your aircon at 25°C or higher. Every degree lower significantly increases energy consumption. Complement with fans for enhanced comfort.


4. Seal Leaks: Ensure windows and doors are closed when the aircon is on. Seal any gaps or cracks to prevent cool air from escaping.


5. Strategic Placement: Avoid placing heat-generating appliances near your aircon’s thermostat. Ensure no obstructions block airflow from indoor or outdoor units.
