OK guys so i bought dawlance sprinter 30 from mian electronics for 62k. Friends electronics did not had this model and mian electronics was offering good price so went for it.
I got to know about maqsood & sons from another installer as he did not have vacuum pump himself. Their rates were as follow after bargaining:
2500 installation, 500 vacuum, 500 dismantling old AC, 850 normal metal bracket.
4 days ago on call with maqsood, everything seemed fine as we agreed that AC will be vacuumed by a vacuum pump not a fridge compressor but when Maqsood's team came to my home on 3rd day of Eid and started working, i immediately felt they are not so professional as seem from their facebook page. Perhaps they take home AC installation for-granted and only do good in commercial/industrial systems.
I can't mention everything but each installation step seemed unprofessional e.g. they pressed the drain pipe under copper pipes while taping up. This is causing the water to flow not very smoothly meaning it seems a water pocket is created and then it suddenly comes out of pipe instead of coming out a continuous rate.
Now the vacuum part, the pump they brought was faulty. Imagine coordinating everything 4 days ago and then being reminded again a day ago and yet they did not bother to check it once before coming to my place. So they went out and came with fridge compressor from their van and said sir ap ungli lagai iski suction bhi achi hai. I got furious and after some argument they said we will come back tomorrow with another pump. So basically two of my days were wasted because of their silly mistake.
The next day they promised to come at 10:30 but they actually came at 3 o clock. All this time i kept calling the installer and Maqsood himself and Maqsood was quite rude and started putting it on me that you wanted to get it vacuum its not our fault bla bla upon which i gave him shut up call that there is no point discussing it as you agreed to it 4 days ago!
Any way, the new AC was vacuumed by 15 mins, their old gauge was not accurate so i just had to rely on the fact that the needle was moving down.
All in all, i regret having it done from them. They did not care of taking little things e.g. not taping the pipes completely even though the AC came with two rolls of tape. Not taking care of pipes arrangement which caused the drain pipe to press down. Installing AC too high even though i constantly told them but they were worried about beam! o bhai at least give it a try! not filling up holes properly, i had to do it all myself. And they kept arguing with me upon almost every single thing just because i asked them for vacuum. When i put them questions, their answer was simply: Hamara 15 saal ka experience, ham apko warranty denge and things like that.
AVOID MASOOD & SONS, they are rude and unprofessional.
Regarding AC, its cooling is good so far. In terms of my orient ultron, it feels a bit inferior in all aspects but ultron was 69k in 2018 so..
