natioanl electrician callout calamity!

You were expecting an Inspection report.?? IS this a joke. None of the professionals have any qualifications here. They were only required to undergo basic safety training and get EMSD certificates about 5 yrs ago. Otherwise you basically practice what your dad taught you.


Think about it. the younger generation do not want to learn or practice these types of professions. There is a serious shortage of workmen and its going to get worse.


My 14 mon th old aircon stopped working a few days ago. V Famous Japanese brand. I called 47 times (yes I counted) in 1 day. The phone kept going to an answer service saying 'we are busy so call later'. At 5.30pm the message changed to ' we are closed , pls call during working hours'. No fax, No address so no way of contacting them.

.

By the time the engineer came to see it 4 days later I had already spoken to AC technicians in USA/ UK to get an idea of the problem. It was a small pump that had broken. They wanted 2500 HKD for the pump for an aircon which had cost me 7000 and lasted 3 summer months as we never used it in the 2 winter seasons. I argued that the aircon had only been used for 3 months but they were not bothered. As far as they were concerned it was out of warranty and pay up or forgetr it. They left saying their supervisor will call back but never did.

Luckily I managed to retrofit a US made replacement generic pump for 350 HKD and its running fine.


God forbid if you have a Plasma TV from these guys what are your chances of service???

After sales service in HK sucks. PERIOD.
