I bought the 1 Ton Vertis Plus some 4 years back. It was hardly been used for 3-4 Months (active use). and after that it stopped cooling. I took it for repair and it was found that gas is leaking from multiple places on the cooling copper pipe. For the cost saving very light copper pipes are used in th AC. As per my mechanic this is common problem with Voltas products now.
The mechanic was a trusted one and normally gives a warranty of 6 Months after gas refill, but for this product, which was little more than a year old he simply denied to give any warranty, due to the quality of pipes used in AC. He did gas refill and some welding on pipes for which I had to spent around Rs 1800, with no warranty. Fortunately it worked for the season but again next year I had to get further leakage on pipe fixed with fas filling and another Rs 2000 was spent next year. At the same time I was told by the mechanic, that it won't be possible to do any further welding on this.
Now for this season, again the same, no cooling which seems further leakage and so I decided to replace the AC, rather to get it fixed again with no warranty.
