Air Con & Fridge
Want to cool off in hall? Well, you aren’t alone. But there’s some things to note before you start buying fridges or blasting away the A/C.
To use a fridge in hall, it has to be declared, and you’ll have to pay a fixed monthly fee to cover electricity costs. For A/C, NTU has just switched to an A/C mobile app pay-per-use system. Read on for more!
Fridge
DECLARATION
In SOME halls, like Hall 14/15, the socket for fridges is locked, and will only be unlocked for units which have declared ownership of a fridge. However, this is not the case in many halls.
​
That said, in all halls, Hall Office requires any fridge to be declared. These fridges will receive a sticker to show their status.
Fridges must be declared at least 1 day before use.
​
Failure to declare will incur a double charge of $160.
The max fridge size is 60 by 60 by 60cm.
​
During the semester, you may receive an email titled “Notification of Fridge Declaration and Payment”. Although it says “Your action is required”, this is a mass email, and if you have no fridge, you can ignore it.
​
FEES
The monthly fee is fixed at $80 per sem.
GETTING A FRIDGE
If you’re looking for a cheap deal, look out on NTU marketplace for second hand fridges! Prices can get quite low ($40-60) during the end of sem and the end of summer (when everyone is moving out).
Air Conditioning
All halls with A/C in NTU have now switched to a mobile app. This will be used both to pay for A/C (on an hourly basis when you use it) and as a remote to control the A/C.
There will be a room-specific QR code to scan and pair your app to your room’s A/C.
