Frequently Asked Questions: Upgrading Your Singapore Home

Recirculating hoods use charcoal filters that trap some grease but ultimately push hot, humid, and smelly air back into your home. A ducted system, physically removes the heat and airborne oil particles from your unit entirely.

Generally, yes. Our systems are internal and stay away from structural elements or common areas. HDB rules focus on preventing external facade changes. Since our work remains within your unit and doesn't affect structural integrity, it is considered a non-standard renovation.

We specialize in "Quiet Premium" aesthetics, designing compact duct routes that can be neatly concealed within top cabinets or false ceilings. By involving us during your "Plan First" phase, we can integrate the system so it is virtually invisible.

We treat every unit with care, ensuring no structural pillars or beams are touched. Our team coordinates closely with your main contractor or carpenter to ensure the installation is integrated seamlessly without causing any unnecessary damage.

Yes, we prioritize aesthetics by designing compact routes meant for concealment inside alse ceiling or top cabinet shadow gap. While we plan the route for maximum concealment, the final look depends on your selected carpentry or renovation design. Even if left exposed, the system functions perfectly to keep your kitchen air clean.

Our system provides a dedicated exit for fumes, greatly reducing lingering odors compared to standard charcoal filters. Efficiency varies based on your hood's power and kitchen layout, but the improvement in air quality is immediate and noticeable.

Definitely not. Professional internal ducting systems are reversible and do not alter the flat's structure. In fact, many buyers view a grease-free, odor-controlled open kitchen as a premium feature that adds practical value to the property.

We verify your hood's motor strength and specifications first. As long as the airflow pressure is sufficient to navigate the duct length, your existing equipment can be used. We assess every model before we begin.

es! We offer special rates for neighbors in the selected developments. If you and your neighbors join together for a Group Buy, you can enjoy significant savings. Reach out for our latest Group Buy schedule.

We include a high-efficiency secondary filter at the entrance of the ducting. This setup effectively captures oil, blocks heavy grease from entering the pipe, and simplifies long-term maintenance for a fresher kitchen atmosphere.

A typical setup takes roughly four to six hours. We do the heavy lifting regarding site assessment and path planning beforehand so that the actual installation day is quick, clean, and causes minimal disruption to your home.

Certainly. We specialize in working with BTO owners to integrate ducting systems during the initial renovation phase, ensuring the cleanest possible finish alongside your new kitchen cabinets.

Yes, our systems are highly suitable for both resale HDBs and private Condominiums. While new BTOs are our most common projects, we specialize in navigating the layout constraints of older resale units.

Retrofitting is possible, but it is strictly dependent on a Feasibility Evaluation. We must assess if there is sufficient "headroom" above your existing cabinets or if the current internal carpentry can be modified to house the ducting without compromising structural integrity.

We diagnose your specific kitchen "blueprint," looking for the shortest path to your service yard or designated discharge point. We identify potential "friction points," such as structural beams or existing piping, to design a route that minimizes 90-degree bends and maximizes airflow.

f our technical assessment reveals that your HDB or Condo layout—due to structural beams, MCST restrictions, or airflow constraints—cannot support an effective installation, we maintain a strict no-nonsense, no-penalty policy. Zero Financial Risk: Our initial Feasibility Evaluation is conducted at no charge to the homeowner. No Obligation to Proceed: If an engineered solution is impossible, you are under no obligation to pay for the visit or engage in other services. Integrity First: We prioritize functional results over sales; if we cannot guarantee a system that solves your cooking smell issues long-term, we will advise against the installation rather than providing a subpar, "handyman-style" solution.
