This is the first time I've heard of it. What other air-conditioning tax are you talking about? I'm going to buy an air conditioner in my apartment on https://www.airconservicingsingapore.com/installation/. So I will definitely clear about this tax. By the way, speaking of air conditioners... What brand of air conditioners do you prefer? Which brands are the best and most durable? This is my first air conditioner, and I don't know much about it. I found a lot of information on the store's forums. Still, I would also like to hear the opinion of the forum's residents. I will be pleased to receive any advice.
