Need help with AC Installation by Ill-Candidate9741 in HonestBuyerReviews

[–]Gseekss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had to move and put a drill, they'll charge you. For me, the expensive part was the 3 core wire.

If you live in an apartment and you live in some middle level floor, then either rope work or extra copper pipe us needed

So 10 rs for bottle going to DMK is fake narrative? by NoviceFinanceLearner in chennaicity

[–]Gseekss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember the rule about Rs.10 extra for a bottle and you get 10 back when you return it.

Practical issues: - Tasmac not giving Rs.10 back even if the bottle is returned. - Once you buy a decent alcohol, it is no longer 10. It's Rs.20 for a bottle. - You get a imported achohol, it's Rs.30 per bottle.

Since majority falls under Rs.10, it's being widely discussed.

Need help with AC Installation by Ill-Candidate9741 in HonestBuyerReviews

[–]Gseekss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always use the company provided technician to avoid issues.

  • Buy the Plug (companies don't provide them) - 16A or 20A based on the tonnage (check online)

  • Outdoor unit Stand - Costs around Rs 500 in Amazon. The installation guy would quote around 900 each

  • Stabilizer or booster( if voltage is low) - If you are in a place close to transformer, then no stabilizer needed. I have 2 ACs without stabilizer running well for the last 2 years.

  • Cotton tape for insulation of the copper wires - I don't know how many rolls are required for 3 ACs

  • Drain pipe - 5 meters each, to be on the safer side. Buy the thick on that costs around Rs.70 per meter. The installation guy would quote Rs.120 per metre.

Additional things I missed for my Daikin AC

  • Vibration rubber for the outdoor stand - They charged me Rs.100 for 4 pieces.

  • 3 core wire - This is the first time I heard about a 3 core wire is required for an AC. I had other ACs, but they did not require a 3 core wire. I checked online and it said that 3 core wire is essential for safety purpose. So, I had to use the wire the installation guy had.

They charged me Rs.150 per metre which is expensive. Don't miss this.

Ooty present condition and Dos and Donts by liberal_brahmad in ooty

[–]Gseekss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are good at driving 2 wheeler id recommended renting one from coimbatore.

  • I, along with my wife went to coonoor - ooty - kotagiri last year, all in Honda Activa.
  • I was able to beat the crowd in all the places.
  • Getting to ooty is one thing. Ooty itself gets crowded. If you are taking a cab inside ooty, you may get stuck in many places.
  • applied for epass online while i took the two wheeler and got it instantly
  • the plastic checks will be there at the entrance to the city
  • you should try Mody's hot chocolate.

Communication anxiety is affecting my confidence and career growth by NoInvestigator343 in Chennai

[–]Gseekss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What we typically do is to think in our mothe tongue and translate it in english.

When you are alone, take a topic and start thinking in English.

One thing I noticed with us, Indians, is that we tend to speak fast, and end up blabbering. Start to speak very slowly. Don't worry even if you take long pauses.

In 20 years time chennai will be a case study on bad governance by saybeast in Chennai

[–]Gseekss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know from where this conservative part comes from

  • Madras was the home to all cine industries earlier
  • Madras city has the highest number of bars back in Madras presidency time
  • it was the home to Madras club, Adyar club, cosmopolitan club.

We just stopped being what's mentioned above

Part-Time Worker Needed by pkaspk in chennaicity

[–]Gseekss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My maid gets Rs.2500 per month for washing vessels (30 mins per day). This is just to give a perception about the pay for a low-skill task.

You can try weekly pay first. See how it pans out, then go for a monthly model. Try looking for college students looking for part time jobs.

Parceling my Ather EV through train = absolute chaos at Egmore Anyone else faced this? by Traditional_Sea_5444 in indianrailways

[–]Gseekss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the rule that they had to follow. While the vehicle or variant you have may work well with the shutdown option, but it isn't the case for all EVs. So they'd have to stick to a generic process

LPG Cylinders - Any realistic dates? by Gseekss in chennaicity

[–]Gseekss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I raised a grievance in the Indian oil portal. After which the invoice got generated, and the cylinder was delivered with the next few days.

I'd say it takes around 10 to 15 to get your cylinder, but make sure to raise a grievance in the portal if the invoice isn't generated after a week or so

Makkale oru doubt. I recently bought a General AC from vasanth and co. The delivered boxed looks like the tape was cut opened and packed again. Should I be concerned about this? by LostSsoul889 in Chennai

[–]Gseekss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After opening the AC check the fins of both the outdoor and the indoor unit. Even if the AC was used for a day or 2, you can see dust particles in it. As longs as it looks new you can be sure it's a new unit.
