What the hell is happening with companies selling ac to joe bloggs to install themselves!!!!?
The company i work for gave me a call to this company who had bought an air con system off the internet for around £700. Why they got involved in the 1st place, who knows?
It was an R410a ac of around 5kw.
To keep it short the system had no refrigerant and obviously a leak/s had to be sought and to check if no other faults were hidden.
I told my boss the situation and time i'd have to spend to make sure it was right.
My boss then phoned this company with his price of which he nearly fainted.
The guy then approaches me asking if i could do a quick fix for a little less!!
I decided not to answer and headed straight to my van then driving off to my next call. My boss agreed fully with my decision.
What baffles me is i can buy a gas fire but it is illegal for me to fit it unless im corgi registered but joe bloggs can buy a split system with a charge of R410a and install it themselves legally!!
Am i right or does someone know different?
Sorry for waffling on but it does annoy me.
