Reason for the Callout
A landed house at Ang Mo Kio (Lentor Plain) faced issues with an old water heater that was leaking and rusty. To restore reliable hot water, the owner chose to replace it with the same brand and engaged Homeone for a safe, compliant installation of the water heater at Ang Mo Kio. With Homeone’s expertise, the home now has a properly installed and dependable system.
