There’s good news for every household in Singapore. The government is providing
S$400 in Climate Vouchers to help you switch to energy-efficient appliances, lower your utility bills, and contribute to a greener nation. This is a fantastic opportunity to upgrade one of the biggest electricity consumers in your home: your air-conditioner.
But government schemes can sometimes seem complicated. How do you claim the vouchers? What can you use them for? And how do you make sure you’re making the right choice?
At Vedha, we believe in making things simple. This is your no-nonsense, step-by-step guide to claiming and using your S$400 aircon voucher, packed with insider tips from our technicians to help you avoid common pitfalls.
What Exactly Are the 2025 Climate Vouchers?
Think of this programme as a national effort to upgrade our homes to be more energy-efficient, one appliance at a time.
- The Amount: Every single Singaporean household—both HDB and private properties—is eligible to receive a total of S$400 in digital vouchers. This is made up of the initial S
300voucherandanewS100 top-up available from 15 April 2025. - The Goal: To help you purchase resource-efficient products that will significantly lower your monthly SP Group bills.
- The Golden Rule for Aircon: This is the most important part. To use the Climate Vouchers for an air-conditioner, the model
must have an energy efficiency rating of 5 ticks from the NEA. This is non-negotiable and ensures your subsidy goes towards a high-performance unit that guarantees long-term savings.
The vouchers are valid until
31 December 2027, giving you plenty of time to plan your upgrade.

A Technician’s Insider Tips: Avoid These Common Mistakes!
Getting the voucher is easy, but using it wisely requires some expert knowledge. Here are the most common pitfalls we see homeowners fall into.
Mistake #1: The HDB Compliance Trap Owners of older, non-upgraded HDB flats face a critical risk. These flats have very strict electrical loading limits (e.g., 8.50 Amps). A powerful new 5-tick System 4 aircon will almost certainly exceed this limit, making it illegal to install. An irresponsible installer might proceed, but you, the homeowner, would be liable for HDB penalties.
- Solution: Before you buy anything, book a professional site survey. A qualified technician can verify your flat’s electrical capacity to ensure the model you want is compliant.
Mistake #2: Forgetting About Installation Costs The S$400 voucher is intended for the aircon unit itself; the cost of installation is a separate and vital service. A great unit can be ruined by poor installation.
Mistake #3: Skimping on Installation Materials To hit a lower price, some installers use cheaper, thinner materials. This is a huge mistake. A 5-tick unit will not deliver its promised savings if it’s installed with subpar materials.
- Solution: For a small premium, always opt for upgraded materials. This includes thicker Gauge 22 copper pipes (to prevent leaks) and thicker 1/2-inch Armaflex insulation (to prevent condensation and energy loss). This is the best way to protect your investment.
