HOW TO BUY AIR-CONDITIONER?

Do you know that the air-conditioner is not a standard home appliance; to start operation of the air-conditioner it is not enough to plug it in. The most important thing for reliable operation of the air-conditioner is not equipment, it’s professionalism of specialists involved into installation, warranty and after-sales service. In practice more than 80% of all the defects detected in air-conditioning systems during the first year of operation are consequences of installation by unskilled workers. Please, believe that the issue of micro environment in your house of flat can be solved by specialized firms only who have got long experience at the air-conditioning market and provide a complete range of services, starting from selection of equipment to its installation and maintenance.

Do you agree that no serious company in whatever business can offer you up-to-date equipment and high level service at knock-down prices? Do not trust to cheap equipment and free installation. Don’t make haste in selection of a firm offering services to you, you should ask advice from your people who have got air-conditioners installed, ask them if they like operation of the equipment and if they had any problems with warranty and after-sales services of the equipment installed.

Make sure that any specialized firm selected by you has got market experience and personnel qualifications ensuring successful completion of the work you instruct it to do. Ask the firm, if it has applicable licenses and certificates.
In air-conditioning business qualification and training levels of personnel are more important than quality and prestige of equipment brand.
Remember that to select and install equipment in a correct way, a design engineer shall visit a room to be air-conditioned. Ask him for a written complete list of services to be provided, including prices. Ask him who will provide warranty and after-sales services of the equipment installed and in what way.

A contract between you and a climate company shall include all the installation and maintenance activities agreed by the Parties before, including periods for completion of the above activities, and the company’s liability in case of equipment failure. Let specialists install the air-conditioner carefully and without haste. Life-time of your air-conditioner in many respects depends on quality of their work. Accepting the work completed, ask the installation specialists to demonstrate you basic operation modes of the air-conditioner.

Note that warranty and after-sales services are not the same.
The installation firm provides warranty service. Reputable firms never undertake to provide warranty service of an air-conditioner installed by no-one-knows-whom. As a rule, warranty period for the air-conditioner is not more than a year.
After-sales service is routine servicing required to maintain main parameters of operation during the air-conditioner’s lifetime specified by the manufacturer.
Both warranty and after-sales services of air-conditioners require high level skills of specialists and expensive diagnostic equipment that can be provided by specialized air-conditioning firms only.

IT’S YOUR CHOICE AND
WE WISH IT TO BE
SOUND!
