Buying An A/c In Pattaya

[praglen]

I need to buy a new A/C unit for my condo bedroom in Jomtien. Where - outside of HomeWorks and Home Pro - can I get the best price?

Numchai, may not be the best price but they do a good job and don't get fingermarks all over the wall and cover the place with brick dust.

I can recommend World Air and his crew on Suk just north of the Index store.

Hello,

I generally bought air cond from the small shop on Thepasit road who has the very good installation job and proficient in repairing but the problem is he prefers to sell new air cond, whenever I need air cleaning service I have to call him every time, no preventive maintenance from his service plan. He always postponed service appointment and it makes me upset.

I just tried to order air cond from Homepro because of promotion, 3000bhts discount and 6 months installment without interest , paid by Kasikorn credit card and another discount of 1500bhts for uninstallation service (they give you free installation for the first 4 meters between air cond unit and compressor unit). I was very happy on the day I ordered them.

I had another technician who is recommended by condo manager that he knows the place very well and has done so many installation and repairing jobs in this condominium for long time. The installation price he quoted to me is reasonable (for 14 meters distance between air cond-compressor including shelf-materials-braker switch- electric cable) and cheaper than my first shop on Thepasit.

When Homepro delivered goods to me, I found they took-off almost every thing except air cond unit, compressor unit and 4 rubbers for putting under the bottom of comppresor. And no cleaning sersive.

So, please don't order air cond from Homepro or Homework without installation. The best choice is order from any shop. If you look for the good and proficient shop, you can try

this man, his name is Arwut, his mobile no. is 0818355079.

Ah!...I forgot to detail that I have condo in this complex around 10 rooms, so I have enough experience about my air cond.

Find the best price you can and then go to Numchai and they will meet the price. They have excellent service and support.

I bought one LG unit from one of the multi national stores, a team of cowboys came to fit it, knocking off chunks of plaster, drilling numerous holes they did not use and leaving black hand marks all over the walls.

We found out later that the 'cowboys' are simply guys off the street who bid for fitting what the muli national has sold.

Six months into the use of the air con the gas leaked out so rather than get the cowboys back we called Numchai, they inspected the installation and informed us that the pipes were all aluminum with screw on unions not copper with braze on fittings, they pulled out the alu pipes and fitted copper with proper fittings but it cost 3000 baht on top of the cost of the aircon. What seemed to be a good price at the time of the purchase turned out to be expensive after all.
