    Default Carrefour Aircon Unit

    Just recently bought one of these and wonder what would have happened if I had paid up the 199 euros to have them install it. YES one hundred and ninety nine euros !!!!!!

    They do not supply the pipes you need to complete the job, sounds like an excuse to get more money out of you sneaky !

    I must admit, I don't buy elecrical goods from Carrafour..The after sales service is not the best. I once bought a top of the range electric kettle there. After a week,I noticed rust marks inside..On taking it back the salesman said it wasn't rust, only machine press marks, but replaced it. It didn't take long for the replacement kettle to start rusting as well..Thats when I decided not to buy electrical goods there any more. There is always a queue at the returns desk..I wonder why.

    The last Carrefour aircon unit lasted 3 yrs and would have gone on I am sure but it got fried by power surge. I hope this one lasts at least that long.

    Did you try claiming on house insurance...My neighbour lost her aircon, TV, and a freezer full of food due to a power surge,,Her insurance company paid out on all.

    No no house insurance at the time, one of the many items I had to find out about and by then too late. Lots got fried Got nice new TV now though the old one was way past its time. My husband had a great stereo system which if I knew where to look would love it fixed if possible. Great sound from it sighs
