Air-Con Servicing and Community Service
at Apex Harmony Lodge
On the25th January 2003, 15 students from ITE
EAST(BEDOK) went to Apex Harmony Lodge at 10 Pasir Ris Walk
to service 20 sets of air conditioning units.
This community service project is another
joint effort of ITE-ASHRAE and NORTH EAST CDC (COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CENTRE).
The students were able to perform community
service while practice what they had learnt in the institute.
This time round besides servicing the air-con units, the students
helped the users in the Apex Harmony Lodge to troubleshoot
a faulty air-con unit. At last they found a faulty Printed
Circuit Board in the system that caused the air-con to malfunction.
On top of that, the student members also helped
to replace a length of pipe insulation of the fan coil unit
which was situated at the living room.
At the end of their voluntary services,
the students indicated that they really enjoyed the experience
gained and hoped that they have more of these events to be
able to experience more ‘hands-on’ activities.
“ ok…let me try to open the grille first…”
“ ..please use the rag to clean up this wet grille..”
“ ..must be careful not to dirty this cupboard..”
“ big deal…I can fix this with my two fingers..”
“ ..wah..please hold the ladder tight..i scare of height
“ While my friends are writing the service chits in
the paper but I prefer to
key it into the computer”
“ alright…..let me see what is wrong with the
pipe…”
