False ceilings works are expensive in Singapore.
Storage Heaters Come in Many Sizes. Wrong Heater = Not Enough Hot Water.
The last thing you want to hear after shifting into your new home are complaints from your family.
The contractor and installers are gone, but you need to reopen that ceiling. What's more, you must spend more money to fix something that is not even spoilt.
To avoid this, make sure you choose the right heater early on. We can help you avoid this mistake.

My previous heater was also an AO Smith, and it lasted more than 15 years. Just installed the new heater today. Messrs Kalam and Mahadi did a very professional job with the wiring and piping. I hope that this new heater will also last as long.

Blue Diamond Heater Tank vs. Normal Tank
Why some heaters last only 5 years?
AOSmith is #1 in USA because of their patented Blue Diamond water heater tank.
Blue Diamond heaters last over 10 years, vs. a 3 to 5 year heater lifespan in Singapore.
Other brands don't have a 150-year track record of patented technologies.
Normal tanks rust and corrode fast. The average heater lifespan in Singapore is 3 to 5 years.

Cheap Brands Last 5 years. Top Brands go up to 10+ years. Only Choose Good Brands for False Ceilings.
Labour cost in Singapore is not cheap. So don't buy a cheap heater. Cheap heaters spoil often and cost you more in the long run.
Invest in good brand and stop paying high installation fees for nothing.
How much do they cost? We can help you estimate this for your home.
Blue Diamond Coated Elements vs. Steel Elements
Why are some heaters not as hot after 3 years?
You won't find patented Blue Diamond coated elements in a normal hardware shop.
Blue diamond has heavy duty scale resistance because it is a fusion of glass and metal.
Even after years, efficiency stays high. Water remains hot like on the first day.
Normal steel elements can be bought from any hardware store.
When metal elements comes into contact with hot water, they scale fast.
Scales lower efficiency. When used for a few years, water is not as hot as before.
For Your Home, Use Only the Best.
Tan Tock Seng Hospital insists on only AOSmith since 1998 as their Blue Diamond heaters lasted over 20 years.
If you want reliable heaters and consistent hot water, use AOS heaters for your home.
Send us Your FloorplanI recommend AOSBATH. Check out their technologies on their website. I get that buy in on their Technologies on the blue diamond glass tank and heating element that prevent rust.
They are few in Singapore that do direct installation and they have higher end products for landed and big building.
It's expensive but using for 2 years now no complain. They have digital remote that can set timer to heat at per determine time and can adjust the temperature to maybe max 50 or even lower rather over heat to 70 plus.

The water heaters sold by AOS Bath are of superb quality, 'Blue Diamond' as they call it, helps reduces the amount of scale build-up over time.
I replaced my 5-year old storage tank water heater of another brand that had its heating element corroded due to the build-up of scale. This led to an electrical short that tripped the incoming circuit breaker outside the house.
Even though the price can be seen as slightly higher than most other brands out there, I genuinely and truly believe it's money worth spending. I have been recommending water heaters from AOS Bath to my clients and all of those who got them had no complaints whatsoever.

AOS Insulation. Built Better, Stays Hot Longer.
Why some heaters can't retain heat?
AOS heaters have 2-3 inch thick insulation.
They are heavier than other water heaters.
Can keep hot water warm for 18 to 24 hours.
Less heat loss, less heating, less power used.
Other brands use 2-3cm thin styrofoam with gaps.
Cheaper to make but more costly to run.
They keep water warm for less than 12 hours.
More heat loss, more heating, more power used.

Have been using the heat pump water heater for 6 months. It's possible to use climate voucher for it. Idle power stands at 4w only, so you can always on it without worrying about eating too much power. Its large tank is also good if multiple bathrooms use the hot water simultaneously. Overall, it's the best heater l've used and totally no complaints.

Landed Heat Pump FAQ
Can I use tankless for the whole house?
Yes. For this, you should plan early. Consider:
• Tubs and rain showers: Thicker 6-8kW dedicated electrical cables are needed for high-use areas. These wires should be run and concealed early on.
• Electrical limits: tankless is a good individual solution, but an option only open for landed homes because they have higher electrical limits.
Can I switch to a Central Heater layout halfway?
Once your water pipes are set, it will be costly to make this change.
Decide your layout early so the contractor can start work fast. Use our Central vs. Individual Layout Guide.
Most new builds in Singapore go for a central water heater.Central layouts allow you to take advantage of new and efficient heat pump technology.
What happens after I send in my floor plan?

2. You can link us up with your architect and contractor to discuss layout and power requirements.
3. Order can be placed with a 3-month indent time, depending on the type of heaters you choose.
4. When the job site is ready, we will go down for a site visit.
5. Heaters are installed.
What if we realise the heaters cannot fit at the job site viewing?
