The heat waves have recently hit many parts of the country again, nearing 50°c, and raw eggs are "cooked" directly. Netizens are outraged: i'm almost ripe, and i can only survive in an air-conditioning room
What if the air conditioning doesn't work? "absolutely, the fluorine is needed." this was the highest response received from the telephone consultant air conditioner maintenance manager。
Do you really need fluorine
"the poor cooling of air conditioners may be due to the need for fluorine, or may be due to other reasons." the air conditioners, in consultation with the press, indicated that there were two types of fluorine-enrichment: air conditioning took three or four years and fluorine was slowly exhausted; and fluorine leaks
“fluorinated air conditioners with short years of use do not generally lack fluorine, and in cases of cooling, cleaning is often sufficient.” the client of an air conditioner repair company found by journalists in the same town at 58 told them that if they were concerned about the lack of fluorine, they could look at the tube and that the lack of fluorine was associated with a frost。
There are many reasons why air conditioners have a low volume of wind and poor cooling. For example, the external environment is high and air conditioners are fully charged; the power supply is low and the air conditioners are not easily activated; the air filter network accumulates too much dust; the temperature controller is poorly regulated; and the installation is not well located。
In physical maintenance, when non-refrigeration occurs, many non-regulated air conditioners repairers directly say that “fluorinated” is required. The reason is simple: the price of increased fluorine is expensive, and a few hundred dollars can be earned if the fiction is short of fluorine。
How much is an air conditioner with a fluorine
The tarp (alias) of the family living in a small district in beijing said that the weather was hot and that a small ad had been made to make air conditioners fluorinated in the district, and some air conditioners had come to the district for business, at a price of $200 for a single fluorine。
A journalist survey found that the beijing market required 40-50 yuan for a pressurized unit (e. G., fluorinated air conditioners) and that some maintenance staff would adjust their prices to the power of air conditioners, whether they were energy-efficient, etc。
An air conditioner repair shop worker told the journalist that “if the hanger is increased by fluorine, the normal air conditioner is 40 bucks apiece, but an environmentally friendly variable frequency air conditioner requires 70 bucks apiece”
How much pressure does a hanger need? A number of maintenance staff indicated that it was up to the air conditioners to decide what was missing. The maintenance staff also stated that “six pressured air conditioners, typically three to four additional air conditioners, plus maintenance costs, would cost $300 less.”
For the extra money, some maintenance staff are missing fluorine
As many consumers are not familiar with air conditioner failure, some maintenance staff falsely claim a shortage of refrigerants (fluorine) while repairing air conditioners, deceiving high maintenance costs by means of false “lactation”。
Even consumers have suggested that repairers can't defraud machines and air conditioning can't really be turned on。
When air conditioning is really required for fluorine, some maintenance staff will deliberately overstate the pressure by charging additional fees; in the course of the actual fluorine enhancement, there will be a “less than two” or more. Air conditioners and fluorinated elephants have been exposed on numerous occasions and have been banned。
The report on air conditioner maintenance inspections released by the shanghai city commission last august noted that the problem of fictional failure was more prominent in the area of air conditioning maintenance. Air-conditioning maintenance service providers found in five platforms, including 100 degrees, 360, one line of repair, valuing net, 114 and others, used this technique to defraud maintenance costs by means of false “lactation”, accounting for 45. 45 per cent of detection。
“a number of air-conditioning maintenance staff may fail during the maintenance process, using the mechanism to raise maintenance costs. “the beijing municipal market supervisory authority has informed us of this。
How can we distinguish between “li gyu” maintenance staff
With the spread of the network, the search for or the opening of information platforms such as the 58 co-cities, it can be seen that the general air-conditioning repair shops in the forest are mixed, that the quality of the workers is not guaranteed, and that the maintenance services are provided only by luck。
The shanghai committee for the protection of the rights of the child cautioned that most consumers prefer to look for brand-based electrical maintenance services through online searches, telephone queries or small mail box advertisements, with some risk in the three most common ways。
In reality, “ligs” repairers often use competitive search engines to spread false maintenance information and impersonate service hotlines with “400” or “800” telephone numbers to deceive consumers。
In case of refrigeration problems, it would be preferable to find an official after-sale or professional maintenance company for the air conditioner brand. Journalists learned that air conditioners such as greek and u. S. Have a warranty period of six years。
“in the warranty period, fluorine leakage due to quality problems will be repaired free of charge and, if freon is exhausted, will require a self-financing fluorine. A glycerine plus freon is $120, and an environmental refrigerant is $180。
There is no uniform maintenance fee for air conditioning plus refrigerant
There are several industry regulations for air conditioning installation and maintenance in the country, but there is no uniform industry maintenance and fee rate for air conditioning and refrigerants。
“the authorities concerned need to develop, as soon as possible and in consultation with all parties concerned, a uniform industry standard to discourage the unserviceable maintenance and charging of air conditioners”. According to liu junhai, vice-president and secretary-general of the research institute for the protection of consumer rights and interests of the chinese law society。
“in order to collect the fee `without disease' `several medical care', it is a violation of consumer rights protection and the right to fair trade and information. But now there's a regulatory loophole, and we need to check for gaps and strengthen controls and penalties.” liu junhai said。
According to the measures for the management of services in the maintenance of domestic electric power, domestic electric maintenance operators and practitioners must not have false, exaggerated, false maintenance services or content; concealing or concealing the fact that a user's product has been destroyed as a result of the maintenance services; misrepresenting faulty parts and intentionally replacing normal performance components; and fraudulently using the trademarks of the household electrical producer or special maintenance markings. In serious cases, the penalty is up to $30,000。
How's your air conditioning? If you can't, don't move, add fluorine
