HDB 2 room BTO Reno Journey 3 (Aircon works) By Gain City

My ex colleague wanted to buy me aircon which I had thought of buying initially but gave up the idea as it's expensive due to utility bills and maintenance. 

So suddenly wanted to buy me AC which was not in my schedule so there was a fair bit of disruption.

I also had to rush down gaincity ang mo kio to get it. Ex col picked Mitsubishi electric starmex 5 ticks system 2. 12000 and 9000 BTU for hall and bedroom. 

The person who served us was very busy as it was a weekend and I was surprised there were a lot of people as it was my first time there. 

His attitude quite heck care and we din pose much questions and within 10 min we bought it plus the 5 yrs warranty. The rest of the time were spent waiting for him. 

They managed to get me installation within the following week on a Thursday.

I thought I could install the kitchen cabinet while waiting for AC but due to the change in schedule cos of AC and taobao shipment for the sink and delay in flooring , Andy from Yong Heng said cannot make it. I also told him I would use another supplier for the shower screen and kitchen door as I had already enquired for so long. All this hiccups and delays n miscommunication made us angry . He was pretty rude and I felt angry why he was like dat suddenly.  I did remember Andy asking me to do the kitchen glass door but I said no as Im not going to buy AC . I'm not sure had I asked him on shower screen and his answers. I guess I'm pretty tired with so many overwhelming things going at same time n time is not on my side. 

Now gain city called me 1 day before to inform me an appropriate time period. From 9 -12noon to 10.15-10.30am.

There was some problems too.ask them not to call my ex col but they did so I had to tried calling in their hotline which took so long but managed to get them.

I arrived 10am and the installer called me at 10.30 to inform that they are coming at 11am. 

Two guys one is friendly the other quiet and taller. I talked to the friendly one a fair bit.i din realise AC installation took a day. Sigh. 

Really bored. But happened that morning taobao shipment called and they were coming with 3 invoices. Wow I'm lucky cos I ask them to call 1 day in advance. Lucky I'm there too. 

They came at 12.30pm after I had run down to nearest coffee shop to buy coke for installers. 

There were a lot and heavy stuffs. I was cracking my head where to place them as there was an earlier taobao shipment on the same week. 

The AC installer need space to put their tools so I put some in storeroom and kitchen , mostly in living room.

While waiting for taobao shipment, the delivery guys did call me half Hour before reaching. 

So I called my dad as he helped me to buy Dulux paint from his contact and I needed to book a grab for him to come over. There were some calling back and forth between dad and the grab driver. 

After the grab taxi was done, the shipment came. My dad waited downstairs to help him carry up. 
Lucky Peter from Teck Lee Seng saw him and help him bring up. 

Once I settled the shipment. I was hungry and asked dad to eat at coffee shop and bought lunch for the guys. 

I came back at 3 pm and jus nice the AC guys told me they were finishing soon. Everything worked seamlessly. 

They did a good job patching and cleaning. Taught me how to use my ac. 

Gain city gave 40 bucks voucher and tons of voucher to win Mazda 3 car. A magnet photo frame and one time discount on service. 

They packed up very fast. When I left the flat saw their van drove past. 

The magnet photo frame broke when i put it up when i moved in, thats ok. Dont intend to have it. My friends said they did a good job in installation and patching was done nicely.





They did lay protective covering for the floors and clean the debris after. They also taped the bathroom holes to prevent debris from getting into floor trap. 
I asked them to help me wrap up the units as there be painting and other works so dont want it to get dirty. Its good this was done before painting as painter could paint over the piping and over the dirty stuff.  

The aircon is very cool.... Good job!! :)
