Daikin — 1 Ton Inverter A/c breaks down within 14 months of purchase

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I purchased a 1 ton inverter A/c on the 20th Mar 2013 and on the 18th May 2014 early morning at 3am the A/c stopped functioning. I logged a compliant immediately and Daikin sent a service engineer today to look at the problem. I am told that there was a voltage fluctuation and the A/c has got burnt inside. There were 3 A/c running at the same time - 2 from Samsung and LG which are older than Daikin and apparently only Daikin got burnt. I got really annoyed at the story that the Diakin Engineer told and spoke to the customer support team, Mr. Robin Andro and Mr. Sathyanarayanan ([protected]), Service Incharge in Chennai branch and they dont seem to be bothered about the problem. There were 3 A/c's running in my house at the same time and only the Daikin A/c has gone dead. The service engineer is giving a lame excuse of voltage being high - apparently only Daikin A/c gets into voltage issues while the other work fine though they are very old. I am truly dissappointed choosing a product from Daikin. If the A/c breaks down in 14 months what is the guarantee that it would work properly even if it is rectified?. Are Daikin A/c's built to last only the warranty period of 1 year after which you are at the mercy of Diakin Support?

I have purchased a Daikin too and infact I have had a better experience with the product than the other airconditioner brands that I have. You should try contacting through this email id: [protected]@daikinindia.com I'm sure someone would help you right away. Or you can connect with the Daikin people directly on any of their social networking sites.
I have written multiple emails to [protected]@Diakininda.com but haven't got any proper response yet. I had a detailed discussion with the Diakin service person Mr. Sathyanarayanan and he promised to send a professional to assess the situation. Subsequently I get a call from M/s Jai Air Systems saying that I need to change 3 PCBs in my A/c (quote attached) and even after that there is no guarantee that the unit will function as there could be other issues and only after installing the 3 PCBs the further course of action can be determined. I tried calling Mr. Sathyanarayanan several times and subsequently but he refuses to pick the call. Is this the kind of service set-up that Diakin has? Have I committed such a blunder by buying a Diakin product?

Fortunately thorough a friend of mine, I have got the contact details of Diakin M.D Mr. Jawa and plan to pose these questions to him tomorrow.
