It’s been long time, since I serviced my AC. I
have called a technician several times but he doesn’t seem to care. He promise
to come but he never turn up. If we don’t service our appliances regularly,
they are destined to get worse.
Two week ago, my neighbor gave me a contact of
another AC service guy. She said he is very reasonable, will charge only Rs150
for cleaning. I have called him several times, but cannot get through his
number too. Since few days, the fan is
also troublesome; it needs a nudge with a stick to start. In this weather of
warm and sticky, AC and Fan, both act funny, its disaster.
Today morning, another problem, it was fridge
that suddenly stopped working. So here I was calling this fridge technician to
come and solve this problem.
If the technician can repair a fridge then he can
repair AC and the fan too, right?
I told him to fix all the problems.
The fridge and fan, each needs a new accessory, AC
needs gas and cleaning.
Plus I am not sure if he will replace with an
original accessory or something fake made in China.
China has really destroyed the market of India.
We don’t seem to get any authentic stuff. Everything is the imitation. The
appliances need replacement of parts too often. There is no guarantee.
Technician says that he is not making any profit.
Who is making money then?
Earlier people were honest, now there is too much
greed. Nobody is sincere- neither a professional doctor, engineer, lawyer nor
an ordinary technician, everybody out to cheat. Whom can we trust?
I am poorer by Rs5000 without stepping out of my
house. Too much inflation now, thanks to China market flooding our Indian
streets. We spend money but are never sure how soon the problem will re-occur.
If he has cheated me, then he will not come back to replace it, I will have a
task of searching a new technician again.
