Fitting AC units- advice.
Posted: Thu 03 Aug 2023 3:19 pm
Hi all,
A supplier of a particular AC came out to do a site inspection. Having had the quote, it excluded 'electrical installation' which confused me somewhat.
It appears before they fit the AC units (Split type), I have to have the electrical connection ready - i.e. wiring done and a switch box for them to wire into. All rooms obviously have sockets to take a live feed from. Years ago when I had an old style Arcelik AC fitted, they did all they work as part of the installation, including the switch box as no power for AC there before.
Obviously an additional charge on me, for what I feel should be part of the installation package? They don't have an electrician so I have to get my own and tell them where to put the connection! What if they get placement wrong or anything else that affects the warranty!
Does this seem right? Advice appreciated.
