It has been 5 years since I last wash my air con. It is no
longer cold so I have no choice but to call people down to service
my air con today.
I called the air con company and they send 2 guys down to my
house today.
The 1st guy told me that it cost $100 to do chemical cleaning
for my room air con and another $180 to do chemical cleaning and
gas topup for the air con condensor. Total will be $280. He say
that if I do not clean the condensor it may spolid.
I say that it is too expensive.
The 2nd guy say that he can do my air con condensor for $150 but
he will not include it in the receipt meaning the $150 will be
spilt equally among the 2 guys and will not go to the company. I
agreed and ask him why the lady on the phone told me that chemical
cleaning cost $80 to $100 and why he charge me $100. He say it is
because mine is a big air con. For small air con it cost $80.
I told him to charge me $80 for my room air con. He agreed.
So on the receipt he wrote chemical cleaning for room air con
$80. The other $150 he and his friend spilt among themselves. So
his company only gets $80.
He told me not to tell his company or both of them will get sack
and I agreed.
Coming back to think about it, these 2 guys are so evil. Use the
company equipment to wash the air con and they take the money for
themselves.
I also feel that I am cheated. $150 to wash the air con
condensor. Isn't that too expensive?
acutally, i would suggest you buy a new air con.
5 years ago when you buy the air, there is no energy saving
feature. if you upgrade your air con now, the air con will be
cooler and is more energy saving.
it is a fact that the air con gas will lost its "coldness" over
time, and it is no longer energy-efficient.
