PattayaPete

Quoted me 1500 baht for a small unit and 10% discount on contract. I will say he fixed a long standing problem that the unit in the bedroom made a rattling noise (very annoying). Previous guy tried but couldn't fix it. I have quite a few units some of which are not used much so we agreed some done 3 monthly and some done once a year. For me a failure is a catastrophe so happy to over service the main units.

TLDR: Nick is offering a home handyman repair and Air Con service. It is called Pattaya Home Improvements, website here: https://pattayahomeimprovement.com/ The story. I first met Nik many years ago. I’d always wanted to have a Home Theatre but could never find anyone in Pattaya with the know how to set up what I wanted. One day I saw an ad for a new home theatre store in Pattaya run by a farang. I got in touch with Tim and eventually built the system I wanted. Although Tim the farang did all the planning, Nick the Thai and his team did all the work which included laying cables installing an automatic screen in the ceiling and various other complicated bits. I was a very happy chappy for many years but then, as always happens with these things, something broke. I called Tim . . . no answer. Further research revealed that the shop had closed and Tim was back in England. Damn. Through a bit of luck I managed to get Nick’s number so I called him. He came over and sorted the problem for me. Since then I have called on Nick a few times to sort out audio and video stuff I wanted done. Nick is one of the few Thai’s I have found that really understands this stuff and best of all he lived in the USA for many years so speaks perfect English. He recently sorted something out for me and offered to clean our ACs. Although I have used an AC guy for many years he was a hassle to deal with, spoke no English and was so busy that if something urgent required attention you just had to wait. Nick did good work and I did sign a 12 month contract whereby he will come back every three months and clean again. I’ll see how that works out but it will be good to forget about it and just let Nick take care. Bottom line is Nick has always done good work for me. Not the cheapest (not overly expensive either) but quality reliable work. He has now set up a business to formalise the work he was doing for many other farangs. I have no hesitation in recommending him. Here is the website . . . https://pattayahomeimprovement.com/
