I recently had a Thai electrician (whom I found through this forum) rewire much a house we're in. New grounds, new electrical box, new RCBOs, new circuits. There was an issue with a circuit tripping the RCBO and I had them back onsite to look at that, and while they were here I asked if they could install a new 6000W Haier water heater in my master bedroom. "Dai kap!" The electrician sets one of his minions to the task and I depart to another room. Come back a while later after the drilling stops - the job is done! I thought the placement of the device was a bit odd, but didn't think too much of it.
First time using the shower the unit clicks off after about 60 seconds. On/off - our water pump is cycling. After much troubleshooting involving two plumbers: one declares that our pump is too small and the other thinks there is too much back pressure from the haier itself (water flows strong and continuously through the tap when not hooked to a unit). Great. I decide to take the unit back to the store and swap it out for a Hitachi, which is what we had before and exhibited no pressure issues.
Here is my <deleted> moment: I cut power to the circuit and pop the cover to the Haier to remove. Much to my surprise, all of the mounting holes inside of the unit are devoid of screws. (me, puzzled: ????) The installer drilled holes through the unit into the old mounting holes, thus voiding the warranty and return policy of the device. Pictures attached. I was, to borrow a phrase: <deleted> livid. Had the Thai Mrs call the electrician after sending photos through on LINE to ask: "Would you install it like this in your house? Would you let your daughter knowing it is installed like this?"
The discussion didn't last long; he bought the unit from us and sent someone over to collect it.
So, TV - is this normal? We had a handyman over painting some stuff on the exterior of the house and we inquired with him if this is normal to which he said something to the effect of: "Yes. Okay."
