Voltas Complaints & Reviews

I had purchased one Voltas 1.5 Split AC from the above mentioned dealer. I had paid in full by credit card. Firstly they did not delivered on time.
Secondly I was told that the bill would come along with Technician who would deliver the AC unit. The technician didnot submit any bill.
Also after requesting the dealer to courier our bill they failed. In the mean time after 3-4 months the Remote of the AC stopped working. I complained to the service centre and also call centre but no response.
After long the technician came and took away the remote to repair.
Later I was told that it will be replaced but i need to show bill. But how on earth could i show them the bill since i was not given. Later the remote was kept in the service centre and not returned.

After several request the remote was returned without any change still stranded in same problem.

Then i called the call centre several times and I was told that my problem would be sorted out within 24-48 hours. Then another technicial came from another service centre. By the time i had myself verified that it was not AC remote it was the sensor on the AC side that was faulty. Then i requested the technician to rectify the sensor.
The technician took out the whole unit and told he would take for repair and would be back in 2-3 days. But another 10 days have again passed but there is no sign of anyone turning to get the AC repair.

This is how the company is providing the service support.

My name is Naveen Kumar Singh. I have purchased an Voltas A.C. One tone vertis plus on date 22/05/10 from Nikky Electronics, shop A-1239, G.D. Colony Mayur Vihar Phase III New Delhi -110096.From the day first it is not working properly
1. Remote Not working.
2. P.C.B. circuit defective.
3. We are not able to change the cooling level

I have complained to the dealer Nikky electronics on date 23/05/10. The service center executive visited on 28/05/10 and 01/06/10 but not able to resolve the problems.

As you can see that Dealer supplied me defective piece of Voltas A.C. I need your legal help to file a case against Voltas To sell me defective piece of A.C.

Dear Sir,

I've Purchased Voltas window AC (vertis Premium 1.5 win a/c) last year the ac is under waranty AC is not working for last 3 months & I've been putting the complaint for the same time but Voltas has sent the person each time who spend two or more days with repairing but result is zero they are just doing R&D with ac & no one is very sure where the problem is I've gone irritated now & want my AC to be replaced by Voltas with extended waranty. Plz take the appropriate action so as to bond these companies for their liabilitis.

Chennai Cool Care @ Tambaram is fit for nothing

Kind Attn:

Purchased the Voltas AC vide bill no. 11, dt. 22/4/10 from New Kasmic Traders, mata rani road, Ludhiana ( Voltas Dealer) and got installed by dealer himself. Since its purchase the unit is not working properly, the same has been conveyed to the dealer, regional office of voltas at chandigarh and the head office mumbai. My problem was not solved since today. instead of solving our problem the regional office incharge asked us to lodge a complaint at the Toll free Nos. which has been regularly lodged at the following complaint no along with the dates for your ref.

Complaint no. 10MY1304513, dt 13/05/10
Complaint no. 10MY2102996, dt 21/05/10
Complaint no. 10MY2505469, dt 25/05/10
Complaint no. 10MY2901716, dt 29/05/10

Inspite of my above repeated complaints the company has not bothered to redress my problem. You are therefore requested to pursue my complaint and get it solved as no heed has been paid to my complaints neither by the dealer nor by the Voltas Company. However below are the copies of correspondence with the company for your reference.

Your efforts in this regard will highly be appreciated

Dear Sir,

We like to bring to your kind attention that we have purchased the product (Split AC) of Voltas not of the DEALER's Mr. Vijay sharma was contacted through mail which he referred to Mr. Sandeep singh pathania, who is looking the customer care dept. and seems to be an agent or partner of the authorized service centre personnel in ludhiana from his rude conversation and behaviour on telephone which lasted for 25 - 30 minutes just to convey the message of authorized service centre..He interrogated me, as I was accused and asked about the date of purchased and threatened that why you have not contacted me earlier and now the 10 - 11 days have been passed and we have exhausted all the channels ie. Dealer and service centre. Due to Non Cooperation and satisfactory reply we are forwarding our request to you...More over, he refused to settle my complaint and asked we have no responsibility to give you service to the split ac purchased from the dealer, but not from the distributor cum service centre with whom he seems to be attached and looking after their interest instead of customers for which he has been deployed..Also, as said by him in the below mail that company is not responsible for improper installation as mentioned on the warranty card, we think Mr. pathania is not capable for this post because he does not know that the warranty card is in the sealed package which can not be seen without opening it, and the same package is opened by the person / mechanic / engineer.who has come to install the unit. Now 1 more point has been raised that the company is hiding the main / important terms in the package so that the customers can be exploited on these terms later on and money can be made...which was atleast not expected by THE BRAND "TATA"

similar complaint was lodged with the company last year but on assurance given by the authorized person that this type of problem will not be created in future but same are being faced on second purchase as well and we hope this time not only assurance will be provided, rather corrective action should be taken to sort out the issue ASAP.

Now we really had a bad experience with Voltas AC's...and surely we are not going to make any purchase of voltas ac and will also not recommend others to buy from voltas...


Thanks and Best Regards

Dear Mr Anuj P Gupta,

Taking all things in consideration here I am feeling there is some fault during installation so kindly follow same engineer who installed your ac ....
Otherwise if you want any support from company we can refill your ac gas through our authorized service center ...Because it is clearly mentioned on our warranty card that
we are not responsible if installation is done improperly on point no. 3
As you said according to engineer there is no gas in your ac from the company end we can fill your ac gas on chargeable basis.

Company Charge for Gas filling:- Rs 1800/-

Thanks/Regards

Dear Mr. Vijay,

We already have Voltas Split AC and bought a new one 10 days back from a local dealer in Ludhiana (M/s New Kasmic Traders) and we requested them to install the unit upon which they agreed and did the same within 2-3 days. But after the installation, it did not work....we informed regarding the same to the dealer upon which they came to verify the problem and they diagnosed that the gas was leaked and asked us to contact the authorized service centre of Voltas. Accordingly, we approached the authorized service centre and Mr. R.G.Singh checked the unit on 28th April and confirmed that refill is needed and assured to refill within 2-3 hours Till 30th April, no person has come to refill the gas and not replied satisfactory while tried to contact on telephone then we contacted Mr. Jain (Authorized Centre Head) who flatly refused to entertain our request on the basis that a unit has been installed by the dealer not by them and asked that we will not provide any kind of service in future also because the unit has been purchased and installed by dealer because they have not earned any paisa from the installation charges. Since we have purchased the unit 10 days back and not running till today, the question arises in our mind that whether we made a good decision to purchase voltas ac.!!!!!...again...because the same problems are being faced by us even after your past assurance.(plz refer below mails)

We request you to please take necessary steps and direct the authorized service centre not to refuse and exploit the customer so that we may not hesitate to purchase the product of Voltas(World Renowned) in future.

Also, we will be lodging the compliant at toll free nos. but we thought to inform you regarding the same first.

Awaiting for your prompt response

Dear Sir / Madam,

My name is Anuj Paul Gupta and a resident from Ludhiana (PB). I have purchased a VOLTAS VERTIS PLUS AC last summer from a local dealer. Everything was going fine until I asked W.S.P.Care an authorised service centre for your company) to perform a service for the AC before I began with the usage this summer. He has sent some people after two days and more over those people were not specialized i.e. not knowing the basics of performing the service. Then after service, after 2 -3 days AC stopped working ie cooling was not there. I lodge a compliant again with the same service centre as they have performed the operations before as well. Then they said that MY AC needs refilling of the GAS (which was leaked from nowhere) ie no leakage symptoms found. Again after 2 -3 days the person came with the gas cylinder to refill the gas in the AC. when he left my AC was not providing cooling to me and moreover the leakage of the water started in the room itself. I again lodged the complaint, the person came again, he rectified the water leakage and the cooling problem(as he stated) but after he left again the cooling problem was there.

Now, again I reported a complaint to the same service centre on Saturday 16th May, but til now no action has been taken, When I try to cal Mr. RG singh the owner of the service centre, he says that we will be sending the person today itself or they are already in my locality but they are not coming to my home. I waited for them the whole Saturday, Sunday, Monday (after calling them in the morning and waiting for their engineers to come) but no one came or contacted me.

Yesterday I had a word with Mr. RG Singh about the same he said he will send a person after 8pm, although I requested him to send the person a bit early as I have to go to a marriage function but he said he cant. Even then I missed out my function taking into the consideration of the busy schedule of the service centres due to the summer season and I waited the whole night and moreover in the morning (today) but no one has yet came and even I have not rcvd any intimation from them. When I asked him and his employees to give me the compliant number yesterday, they refused to give and said that there is no complaint regarding this. Later I inquired today morning regarding the complaint it was there, complaint no. 254 dt 16/5/2009, which is not been forwarded to any of the engineers yet to rectify.

My product is still in warranty / gaurantee. and I feel I am being exploited by these people.

At this moment when some one asks me about this product and company I just said to them, "the product and the company is good but they dont provide a post purchase service"
which does not suits to the company like TATA

At the end i will like to request you to please consider my case and take required action so that i would not be an unsatisfied customer.

Awaiting for your kind reply.

Dear Sir,
I had purchased one 1 pc. air cooled packaged air conditioner 8.5 ton capacity on 11/06/2009 vide your bill no. [protected] that was the time when my pains have begun. We have not used this pc. for more than 2 months last year. This was not because we never wanted to use it , it was because the unit had remain shut down due to one problem or other.The unit's fan motor has got burnt 3 times last year within a span of 2 months and was repaired everytime and given back to us.This year it is now june beginning and we have been trying to start this unit, but the motor problem still remains. I had purchased this unit from the Voltas Company just because the company enjoys a good name and reputation being owned by the Tata Group.But I am sorry to say,I was wrong ! I tried to register my complaint at the Toll free nos. mentioned in ur website, but they so coolly apologise for not having any service access in Amritsar. Now, I think this is my last try writing to ur company, if there is anybody who could solve my problem or else I should take now with the fact that I have been fooled around during the purchase of this unit.
Thanks & Regards,

Anuj Dilawari

We purchased one Voltas Split AC 1.5 Ton Vertis Panache/HC on 26th August’2009. This model of AC was purchased only after strong recommendation of the dealer. It is also pertinent to add here that the subject AC was slightly higher in cost so therefore better quality AC was presumed. But it proved to be one of the biggest error we had committed; this was realized only after installation in first week of September 2009. The AC took about three weeks to start for use and that too after lot of complaints with the dealer. We may add here that during the installation and demo, an inexperienced mechanic used to come and it is very sad to say that during the demo, the mechanic was not even aware about the basic functions and utilities of this model.

After usage of 2 weeks, AC created cooling problems, complaints were lodged for it and again a complaint was lodged in 2nd week of October 2009 for the similar problem which was rectified after 2 weeks i.e. in last week of October’2009. This cooling problem occurred due to gas leakage twice and an inexperienced mechanic who had come to refill the gas for the first time actually cut the copper pipe for refilling the gas though there is a special valve provided for the refilling of gas which he was not aware of. Then came the winter and AC was not used. In the first week of April’ 2010, we again started using the AC after getting it serviced from the company mechanic. Then, this AC hardy worked for 15-20 days and it developed a technical problem for which a complaint was lodged with the company on 10th May’ 2010 (Complaint No. 10MY1004985) since then at least 8-10 mechanic have visited our home to readdress our complaint but till date our AC has not been set to order.

Everybody knows about the height of summer this year. We had to buy one cooler in absence of AC with an extra expenditure Rs. 5,000 because we remained unheard even though we have contacted the Area Manager of the company, Dealer and Service Contractor. When we contacted the dealer, he showed his inability because there was no interest once he has sold the goods. Service Contractor said that we have already sent the parts of your AC to VOLTAS and now it lies in their hands when to solve the complaint. After this reply we talked to the Area Manager Mr. Sudipta Chakarborty who was came up on phone after a lot many calls and his reply was very casual. We made several requests to the Area Manager to replace the AC, he said we cannot satisfy each and every customer.
It is very sad that after spending huge amount for getting relief from summer and our complaint still not resolved even after more than 25 days then what is the use of giving big slogans like “INDIA KA DIL, INDIA KA AC. & efficient rated AC etc.” and also they claim that we will solve your AC problem within 48 hours at the most. Our experience about Voltas is so poor since their own workforce and the service contractors are not only inexperienced but inefficient also. They don’t have any concern for consumer as they want to settle the complaint in a routine or casual manner even though the family is living in Day Temperature of 45 Degree Celsius and Nights of 38 Degree Celsius. It comes to our mind as if we have committed a sin by purchasing a Voltas AC. Nobody tells us the email address or telephone numbers of the higher authorities from where we can get our readdressal of our complaint fastly.

Out of 9 months of purchase there were about 4-5 months (since remaining 4 months was winter) in which could have used the AC but it only worked for not more than 45 days. There so called service engineers came 7-8 times to attend the lastly lodged complaint and took away many important parts which have not come back till date even after 3 weeks. What a fine example of After Sale Service. The most terrible thing is that our 1-Year Service Warranty is expiring in August’ 2010 in which almost 2 months are left. We have requested them several times to replace the AC for which on one hand they are not agreeing it to replace the AC and on the other hand they are not able to repair the AC after 3 weeks itself.

Now it comes to our mind that branded items are sometimes an utter failure to purchase with. What surprises me is that when someone comes to Voltas, it is with the belief that it is a TATA company and thus it would be the most reliable one. How can your Service Contractor send the so called mechanics who instead of repairing the AC end up damaging it as mentioned above in case of refilling of gas. How can one trust a company whose Service Contractors try and cheat their customers. I do not even know what to do with my AC as I can not trust any of Voltas Service Contractors. The only choice left is to get rid of Voltas AC and go for some other brand. Yet if Voltas (a TATA company) cannot provide good services then who else can?

We request you to get it replaced because his model very well known to the mechanic teams. We now request your esteemed network/organization to help us in the readdressal of our complaint at the earliest possible occasion by taking the matter with concerned higher authorities of Voltas.

With Best Regards

Dear Sir,

I have purchased a voltas 1 ton virtis from M/s.Maruthi at Chennai before 4 years. From the inception I am getting so many problem especially in summers..

1. 1 & 2 Years stabilzer problem
2 3 & 4 th years electronic board problem.

I made several complaints to your Toll Free Number and M/s.Maruthi Agencies. Last one month two times removed the board and serviced by M/s.Maruthi engineers. But they could not able to rectify the problem.

Hence I kindly request that the same may be taken back and supply the new one immediately. Otherwise there is no option to approach the consumer forum.
I have purchased only because of Voltas is a reputed and standard company. After buying the same, I came to understand that you are not supporting to the customers like other non-branded products.

I request you to take necessary action to replace the substandard quality supplied by your dealer M/s.Maruthi Agencies.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully.

In 2008 I Purchased Voltas AC at my home. Both my 1 ton Votas Vertis Split AC are sparsely used and are being serviced (during the warranty period and there after for 1 year by AMC) by M/s. Vikas Enterprises. Last year one of my remote was not working due to leakage of battery and was repaired by M/s. Vikas Ent. for Rs.600.

Ever since the remote was not working well. This year since the services provided by them were not to my satisfaction I was requesting them to have a look at the placements of AC so that they can be serviced better. In the mean time one of the ACs developed a leakage and on request M/s. Vikas Ent sent a two mechanics who while repairing the leak broke the locking pin of the lid of blower part of the split AC.

Because of the unexperienced mechanics who come for the services I decided not to use M/s. Vikas for the further services. In the mean time both my remote stopped working. I lodged a compalint with your 1800 number. 2 mechanics from M/s. RPM services came. I allowed them to take only one remote for repair. This was done as per their service report no. 6505 dtd. 06/05/2010. Today (i.e. on 08/05/2010) the mechanics came to my house with 2 remotes. Their claim was since my remote was unrepairable they are supplying me with the new remote. Saying this they produced my original remote (which was in very good condition) claiming it to be the new remote and an old remote with pen marking on all buttons saying that was my old remote. While questioning that my remote was in pristine condition why the marks, i was told they put marks on the buttons to identify them (surprisingly they does not seem to have heard about labels).

Mr. Lad, I threw both of them out of my house with both the remotes and sat down writing to you about the matter. What surprises me is that when some one comes to Voltas it is with the belief that it is a TATA company and thus most reliable. How can your service providers send the so called mechanics who instead of repairing the units end up damaging it. How can one trust a company whose service providers try and cheat their customers. I do not even know what to do with my AC.As i can not trust none of your service providers only choice left is to get rid of Voltas AC and go for some other brand. Yet if Voltas ( A TATA company) can not provide good services who else can?

I have already placed complaint with one M.r Nandkumar Lad of Voltas without any response.

With Best Regards,

M. H. Dahodwala.

When I bought a new house, I got 7 voltas split A.C. installed in my residence during off-season, after summer was over. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that Voltas being a TATA company, is the best choice for ACs. However, to my horror, I discovered that actually it is the WORST.

All those AC are non-performers, break-down every 7 days and nothing happens when you complain. After sales service in our area is sub-contracted by VOLTAS to a private party in the name of Swift Air Care (somebody in the name of Gulyani) who are big frauds. Everytime, you call them they will tell you that they are sending a person in 2 hours which will actually never happen. I have been chasing them for my Bedroom AC, for the last 2 weeks and you hear the same answer. I feel like shooting those guys. This is a regular thing for us for the last 2+ years and now we have decided to replace all Voltas AC.

Please never think of buying any VOLTAS brand. If you have any enemy, only then you advise him to buy VOLTAS. It appears TATA are no more concerned about their goodwill. What the hell Ratan Tata is doing ? Spoiling the name of his forefathers ?

Even at the time of writing this complain, 5 of those 7 ACs are not working. We have actually now given up.

Mr Sanjeev -

As discussed with you in the past that am having trouble in this machine since the date of installation.

1) Your several people have come to my house, and tried to repair the AC. Your own people yesterday confessed that the first repair of the motor replacement is faulty, as the same is 2nd hand and is of low speed, whereas the original motor was high speed. You are most welcome to my house, and see with your own eyes the condition of the motor replaced, and the speed of fan.

2) Apart from this, the cooling becomes zero within 2 hours of filling the gas. Your several people have visited, and no one seems to understand the reason why / from where the leakage is. Even during the 2 hours when the gas is there, the compressor / condensor makes generator like noise, and all your people are tight-lipped for the reason.

- Had there been any electricity fault, the other 4 a/c's installed in the apartment would not have been running flawlessly (including 1 window ac of Voltas).

3) Am thoroughlly digusted with the product, and am tired of spending time/weekends with your service people of getting the product repaired.

- Pls treat this email as a formal notice to you and your company for getting the maching replaced within the next 48 hours (expires on 20th May).

- Failing to do so, I shall be happy to move to the court for mental damages, and replacement of the faulty product.

I purchased 1.5 ton voltas window AC in 2007. The performance so far has been below average. This season i complained to thier Service Helpline on 1st Mayto send the engineer for troubleshooting. The engineer came after one week (on 8th May) after umpteen calls and follow-up. The compressor was found faulty (under 5 years wtty). The compressor was taken on 9th May by thier Noida service dealer M/s Swift Aircare with a promise to replce the compressor within 3 days. The dealre and company helpline is so casual and not giving any proper response. This is the WORST service experience i am having. Voltas (TATA brand) is good for nothing. I am repenting my decision to go for TATA brand. I am quite satisified with other ACs (LG) whihc are working for more than 5 years and their service is prompt.

I dont know how to reach thier Managing Director. I am planning to put my Voltas AC in a coffin and send it to thier MD.

I purchased an Voltas Split air conditioner(Vertis) from a local authorised dealer in April 2008. The very same day of installation the A/C would stop automatically after 15 minutes without any cooling effect. I observed that the technicains who installed the A/c were in a hurry to finish the job and didn't even wait for long to check if it worked fine. After registering a complaint, the next day another technicain came and checked the outer unit.. we found a wire that was not connected to one of the points... after that was fixed.. it continued working for few days and stoped once again... this time without any cooling effect the ac would remain on.. once again a new complaint was registered... technicains came... took away the outer unit and replaced the compressor with a refurbished one after a week.. it continued to work for one year.. and once again the AC stopped functioning... all this time I was not charged anything for the service as the ac was under warranty. Now Inorder to get this fixed I've sent a few mails to the senior officials of VOLTAS and they say that due to the location I live in .. such cases are common and I would have to shell out Rs2500/- to get the gas refilled,, earlier the amount suggested was Rs 3000/-... after having spent Rs.24000/- to buy a VOLTAS ac which I thought was worth has turned out to be a disaster... More over the company is refusing to get it replaced,,, I'm not keen it getting it repaired and facing the same issue every six months .. My friends who live in the same area and purchased other brands have no such complaints and has never got their ac serviced in less than 2 years.. I am asking for a refund... 100% refund..no replacement as i have no faith I this brand anymore

I Bought a Split AC From Voltas , like after and year the service technician came for rectifying a small problem, when checking the broke the swing blades and swing motor.They wrote on the bill that they would defenitely replace it for free but when we call them they say were are bringing it , again after 5 months we called them they say we gave it to your person , finally after 8 months they do not respond at all we tried the call centre after that they also do not respond what kind of company this. Please give me a suggestion
