Okay, so it's 'the split air-conditioner is not working properly' problem again.
Tried to have it fixed 3 times by 2 companies, although admittedly, they were general renovation companies rather than specialised A/C contractors (before you say it, yeah I know, my stupidity!).
They managed to stop it dripping, but the air that comes out still isn't cool.
So, any recommendations for:
1) a good, seemingly trustworthy, recently tried and tested A/C company who can check and fix the problem (without creating other problems) and honestly give an answer as to whether it can/should be fixed rather than completely replaced as well as charge 'reasonable' prices? (or am I being too naive to expect this?)
2) good, seemingly trustworthy, recently tried and tested A/C companies who can remove old A/C and install a new one (without doing a Mickey Mouse job on installation) and charge 'reasonable' prices? This is in case I do have to get a new one.
The A/C is about 10 years old now, so maybe I'll just get a new one anyway.
Recommendations for A/C brand and A/C company (name & contact number) will be most appreciated (not by A/C companies pretending to be satisfied customers!). If can tell me your own experience of cost of new A/C including installation, that would be even more appreciated.
Plus how long is the warranty period usually for new A/Cs? Does it usually cover all malfunctions?
I've read posts from a few years back about poor A/C companies with poor service
(made the problem worse, create new problems, turn up late, don't turn up at all etc...) which of course, I'd like to avoid.
I'm looking for updated genuine recommendations from satisfied customers.
This would be for an approx 250-300 sq ft room.
Thanks
