Buyers of Tengah BTO flats have expressed their frustration about the trunking that conceals pipes of the centralised cooling system in their homes.
SINGAPORE: Tengah flat buyers have yet to collect their keys, but some are upset over how the centralised cooling system that will be pioneered in their homes will look.
Some home owners expressed frustration with other aspects of the installation process, such as the arrangement of individual cooling units, also known as fan coil units. Residents who CNA spoke to over the past few weeks had seen leaked photos of the trunking – which conceal the cooling system's pipes – in unfinished flats and described it as"ugly".
By boxing it up,"you basically enlarge the trunking", he told CNA."And we have to pay extra for that." For a five-room flat with five cooling units, the advance price excluding Goods and Services Tax is S$4,550 . A 42-year-old home owner said SP Group told him via email in May that two of the units for his five-room flat will be placed at a different location, and gave him four days to agree to the change.
"We don't get to see our flat. How would we know if the layout is okay?" the 39-year-old sales and marketing manager said.
