Looking to upgrade your aircon to 5 Tick Enegery savings with Energy Efficiency Grant (EED)? As we all know, Singapore’s tropical climate makes air conditioning systems indispensable for businesses and homes alike. However, while they provide a comfortable environment, traditional air conditioning systems can also be significant energy consumers, leading to substantial electricity bills. With the emphasis on sustainable practices and energy conservation, it’s crucial to make the shift towards more energy-efficient options.
@bsolute Aircon is committed to helping Singaporeans navigate this shift. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of upgrading to energy-efficient air conditioning systems and how doing so can lead to considerable savings and a more sustainable future.

Understanding Energy Efficiency
Before we dive in, it’s important to understand what energy efficiency means in the context of air conditioning systems. Energy efficiency refers to the ratio of cooling output to the power input – how much cooling your air conditioning system can provide for a given amount of electricity.
In Singapore, the National Environment Agency (NEA) grades air conditioning systems on a tick rating from one to five, with five ticks indicating the most energy-efficient models. Choosing a system with a higher tick rating’ll consume less electricity for the same amount of cooling, leading to lower energy bills.
Benefits of Upgrading to Energy-Efficient Air Conditioning Systems
1. Cost Savings: The most immediate benefit of an energy-efficient air conditioner is the cost savings. Air conditioning units with a higher energy efficiency rating consume less power to cool a given space, resulting in significantly lower energy bills.
2. Environmental Impact: Energy-efficient air conditioning systems also have a lower environmental impact. By consuming less power, these units contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and help combat climate change.
3. Improved Comfort and Performance: High-efficiency models often come with advanced features that enhance comfort and performance. These include variable-speed motors, programmable thermostats, and improved air filtration systems that provide better cooling and indoor air quality.
4. Eligibility for the EEG Funding: Singapore businesses can take advantage of the Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) launched by Enterprise Singapore in September 2022. This grant provides up to 70% funding for businesses in the Food Services, Food Manufacturing, or Retail sectors that upgrade to energy-saving air-conditioners. This represents a significant cost reduction and incentivizes businesses to make the shift towards more energy-efficient models.
Eligibility Criteria for EEG Energy Efficiency Grant Funding
To qualify for the EEG, an SME must meet the following criteria:
- Be registered and operating in Singapore within the Food Services, Food Manufacturing, or Retail sector. This includes Food Services companies with valid Singapore Food Agency (SFA) licences and classified under SSICs 56 or 68104, Food Manufacturing companies with valid SFA licences and classified under SSIC 10 or 11, and Retail companies classified under SSIC 47.
- Have a minimum of 30% local shareholding.
- Have a Group Annual Sales Turnover not exceeding S$100 million, OR a Group employment size not exceeding 200 employees.
