The air conditioners were bought in the summer, and many were deceived by the merchants' “free door-to-door installation”. When the air conditioner was purchased, the package was installed, the charge was paid, and the master was loaded at the door, and the settlement was paid hundreds or even thousands more. A number of the owners prevented the master from completing the work, prevented him from trying to pull the skin out of the heat and forced him to pay for it。
In fact, the so-called “free installation” in the air-conditioning industry has never been entirely free of charge and has included only minimal basic installation services. Over 90 per cent of installation charges and hidden price increases in the market are fee packages made by masters using poor information, which are pure industrial morbidities and are not at all a formal cost。
Numerous families stepped on pits before they discovered that air conditioning was not expensive and that the installation of accessories and invisible charges were more expensive than machines. Today, the air conditioner is being dismantled in depth to install five of the most expensive and high-frequency charge pits, to uncover the industry's internal pricing standards and to teach you to avoid pits all the time。
I. Bronzes plus long circuits: the largest “priced assassins” in the industry, misrepresenting the number of rice, demanding prices
This is the largest, most common and most lucrative invisible pit installed in air conditioners, and the way in which all owners meet. The policy of free installation for all air conditioners brands is uniform: new branding is free of charge for three metres of original copper pipe, sufficient for normal household use。
Many of the installers have seized on weaknesses that the owners do not understand the specifications, do not measure, and are crazyly charging fees. Two of the most common options are: overstatement of length, high prices and high prices。
Many owners only add one metre to the inside and outside of their homes, and the master reports three metres and four metres directly, adding one or two metres to their mouths, and making hundreds more at once. What is even more insane is the price disorder, the official uniform pricing of the formal brand, the addition of 80-100 yuan/m for one, 1. 5 copper air conditioners, 2-100 yuan/m for two, 3 large-power air conditioners, and a clear price, national harmonization。
However, when a private offer is made, 150 dollars, 200 dollars a metre, or even more, the price is doubled. There are also black-heart masters who play the “two short feet short” set, marked with three metres of copper tubes, which are actually only two metres long, and whose owners cannot measure, verify and spend more than they can afford。
It's even more inexplicable: the master will deliberately create anxiety, falsely claiming that “the original copper pipe is too thin, easily fluorine, unsatisfied” and induces you to replace the thicker copper tube, import the copper pipe, move hundreds of dollars, purely iq tax。
The real business truth: the new machine, with its original copper pipe, is standard for the factory, with thicker materials and no problem with 8-10 years of normal use. Zero copper pipe costs for the entire journey within a distance of three metres, with no cost。
It's a trap
A simple self-measured internal and external linear distance prior to installation is in mind. Prior to the construction work, the master was required to conduct an on-site and face-to-face survey, during which time evidence could be recorded and the oral estimates and false estimates of the rice were categorically rejected. The official customer service of the brand was consulted in advance to confirm the unit price of the copper pipe corresponding to the number of his own air conditioners, to retain the official offer, and the teacher presented the certificate directly and refused to pay the price。
If there is a real need for a longer period of time, priority will be given to settlement at official prices, and the proposal to upgrade the copper pipe will not be heeded by the master in private。
Ii. High-altitude work-costed circuits: randomly raised, poorly collected, standards tampered with
High-level household air conditioners and high-altitude operating fees are the most easily detached projects. Many owners mistakenly assumed that high-altitude fees were priced by their masters and could only be sacrificed. In fact, high-altitude fees were subject to national uniform industry standards that were transparent and did not increase prices at random。
The industry has made it clear that the outer walls of the fourth floor and above will be suspended, that they will be charged high-altitude operating fees and that they will be completely exempt from high-altitude charges. However, many black-hearted masters, regardless of the level of the building, are also forced to charge high-altitude fees on the 2nd and 3rd floors, one of which is capable。
There is also a system of price increases, with official uniform standards: a single air-conditioning high-altitude cap of $100 to $200, which, even on the 30th floor and the 40th floor, will not exceed $200, and two air-conditioning units per household, which will never cost more than $300。
However, door-to-door masters often raise their prices privately, offering 300, 500 or more on the 20th floor, falsely claiming that the floor is too high, risky and difficult to raise at random. Moreover, some of the masters can be installed on the balcony and indoors, which are not at all high-altitude operations, and they continue to charge high-altitude fees, which are purely free of charge。
It's a trap
Bearing in mind the core standard: free of charge on the third floor and below, 100-200 yuan above the fourth floor, no premium. Prior confirmation of the location of the external aircraft before installation is made, it is possible to land and operate without suspension, and it is clear that no high-altitude charges are required。
In the event of a low-cost fee, a high price, a direct refusal to settle, a telephone call after the official sale of the brand to verify the report, the official will intervene directly to put an end to the increase. High-altitude fees are a reasonable charge, but they are collected only and no extra points are paid。
Iii. Wall piercing: free perforations charged and ordinary walls at high cost for heavy walls
A lot of owners wonder why people don't charge for air conditioning, but they pay for a hundred or 200 holes. There is a third hidden pit: a wall that piercs。
The policy for the free installation of brand-new machines consists of pre-positioning of holes and a free perforation of ordinary brick walls. Normal hollow brick walls, red brick walls and light walls are free of charge and free of extra cost。
The master's most common set-up: confused the type of wall, falsely described the ordinary brick wall as concrete wall, heavy wall and doubled the fee. Industry standard pricing: ordinary brick walls are free, concrete walls are thick, shear walls are pierced at a cost of $80-100 per person, exceeding 60 centimetres of super-heavy walls up to $150。
However, many masters, regardless of the mass of the wall, charge a flat fee of $150, $200 per hole, or even the pre-positioned hole, and impose an “opening fee” for “expanding”. There is also a secondary fee set: an air conditioner requires only one hole, a teacher falsely claims that the pipes are full of pipes and require two holes, and that an extra piercing charge is a deliberate income。
This is in addition to the “waterproof hole” route. Upon completion of the installation, the master offered to block the holes and seal the seals, and then charged a separate fee of $50-100 for the seals. The official installation, which is free of charge, consists of hole seals and glue-proofing, which is a programming process, which is completely free of charge and is the subject of a dissipated fee。
It's a trap
The type of home wall is confirmed in advance and the normal brick wall directly requires a free perforation. The master falsely claimed to bear the wall, the concrete wall, and was able to take photographs of the wall structure on the spot, rejecting false price increases. In advance, clear instructions are given that all waterproofing and waterproofing are free of charge and that no secondary surcharge is accepted。
All piercing costs, insisting on “prices first and construction later”, are not recognized and are not subject to any premium。
Iv. Outside stappings, terrorism regulation: freedom of freedoms, producing of vehicles
The vast majority of users are unaware of the fact that the branding of the new machine is free of charge to the original aircraft stubs, that the zinc-coated rust-proof stubs are heavily compliant, resistant to corruption, fully meeting household needs, and that the branding is free of charge and free of cost。
And this is the master's favorite project. At the installation site, the master will deliberately denigrate the original rack, which is always: “the original rack is too thin, rusty, heavy and unsafe” “vulnerable to break-down and safety hazards”。
They then market their own stainless steel stubs, thicker stubs at a direct cost of 150, 200 or higher. What is more, the master would be ludicrous to fit the cushions and the tremors, falsely claiming to be able to reduce the noise and the shock, and a set would cost hundreds of dollars。
The truth: the original plant support frame was safely tested, the standards of weight bearing, rustproofness and wind resistance were fully met, the normal use of 10 years was not rusty and was fully safe. The so-called high-end stainless steel stubs and truncated fittings are spare chicken ribs, which are completely unnecessary for ordinary families. The minor external vibration is a normal working phenomenon and no additional relief parts are required。
Many owners spend their spare parts for so-called safety, silence and blindness, while paying iq taxes and wasting hundreds of dollars。
It's a trap
All self-funded support racks, shock cushions and noise-mitigating accessories marketed by teachers are strongly rejected, using the original plant for free. Regardless of how the other party creates security anxiety and exaggerates the danger, it is not required to be loaded and the original plant spare parts are compliant and secure。
If the external wall is special and there is a real need to replace the thicker arm, it will be possible to purchase the regular stainless steel arm on its own, at a price of only $60-80, which is more than 50 per cent less than the on-site offer of the master and is of better quality。
V. Vacuum, fluorine, leak-protector circuits: full iq tax package, unprofessional people
It is the most invisible pit that new owners can most easily step on, and it appears to be a professional and practical set-up that contains three subtitling schemes, and almost all households are asked if they want to fit。
First, the fluorine scam. Numerous masters have come to the door and say that new plants lack fluorine, transport fluorine, and require additional fluorine at a cost of $100-300. It's 100% pure
When all new air conditioners leave the plant, the manufacturer will standardize the full volume of refrigerants, and the new machines will be unsealed, unused and absolutely fluorinated. Formal installation is empty and vacuumed, without the need for a first fluoride for life, and the so-called fluorine of the master is simply free of charge and free of cost。
Second, a vacuum-fee scam. Many masters claim that a specialized vacuum is required for fac and that a separate labour charge is required. Real industry standards: fac vacuums are free-of-charge assembly processes, included in free installation services, which are required to operate processes and are strictly prohibited from charging separate fees。
Thirdly, leak protections are forced to fit circuits. The master will intimidate the owner: the air conditioner is high, it is prone to leaking the switch, there is a safety hazard, and an independent leak shield must be installed at a cost of $100 to $200。
The truth: a common domestic intubation, an ordinary air switch, can be fully carried with 1. 5 and 2 air-conditioning units, without separate protective devices. Only three or more large-power cabinets and old circuits are required to fit according to the condition of the circuit, and the general hanger is completely redundant and is simply a mandatory consumption package。
It's a trap
Keep in mind that new machines are not fluorinated, vacuums are free of charge and hangers do not leak. All charges on this ground are directly rejected. In cases of compulsory price increases and non-payment for completion, 100 per cent of the incidental fees are waived by taking a direct photograph of the evidence and contacting the official sale for advocacy。
Vi. Final summary: the true scope of free installation, bearing in mind that standards are never stepped on the pit
After looking at the five sets, many people finally realized that it was not a free setup, but the true standard of free set-up. Remember this list of official designs, and the air conditioners will never be buried again:
[official free matching project]
1. Free of charge, installation of 3 metres of original copper pipe
No high-altitude charges on the 1-3 floor and $100-200 per table above the 4th floor
3. Free perforation of 1 ordinary brick wall, plastic sealing of holes, waterproofing
4. Free of charge, free of charge, installation of out-of-plant hangers
5. Free vacuuming of variant air conditioners and free draining of pipes
6. New aircraft with sufficient freon and no self-financing fluorine
[all self-funded set-up projects, all rejected]
1. Bronze upgrades, import pipe escalation
2. Low-level, high-altitude, high-altitude
3. Fees for perforation of ordinary brick walls and for sealing of holes
4. Self-funded stainless steel support, tremors, noise-mitigating accessories
5. Fluorinated new machines, vacuum labour costs, hanger leak protection
Vii. Effective strengthening, prepared prevention, comprehensive equipment
If you want to install air conditioners, you have to do it in three steps, with transparency and no hidden consumption。
First, the following list is preceded by confirmation and retention of the document. When buying the machine, direct advice is given to the official passenger service of the brand, specifically asking: the length of the brass line, the unit price increase, the high-altitude rate, the perforation policy, the free accessories, the application of all the rates to the text, the retention of the screenshots, and the protection of rights。
Secondly, the construction was preceded by quotations and work. When the master comes to the house, work is not done directly, all possible costs are recognized in advance, the total price ceiling is specified, the site record is confirmed orally and interim price increases are eliminated。
Thirdly, the key steps are personal monitoring. The length of the copper pipe is measured on the spot, the type of wall is confirmed on site, the process is pre-required for fees, is not lazy, does not let go, and the amount of work is not overstated, and the charges are false。
Concluding remarks
All indiscriminate charges in the air conditioning installation industry are essentially based on the exploitation of the information gap of ordinary people. So-called surcharges, upgrades and safety costs, 90 per cent of which are deliberately manufactured, are not just expenses。
There is no built-in high-priced installation, but only a lack of understanding of what to do. Remember these five fee-paying pits, official standard standards and pit avoidance techniques. Next time, air conditioners will never be fooled by the master, will not pay for the set, will cost only the money, will save your heart, will save money, will not step on the pit, will put out the most expensive air conditioners
