Buying an air conditioner online for the first time? AC brands have a surprise ‘hidden cost’ for you
As the temperature in India rises due to summer heat, many are planning to upgrade their ACs with advanced cooling features and new technology. However, many buyers are unaware of unexpected or hidden prices that are included in the AC's real amount. No matter which brand of AC you are buying or whether you are buying from retail shops or online, you will have to pay these extra charges.
Post-pandemic, several things have changed and we are currently experiencing inflation at a higher percentage. Therefore, top brands are now tricking customers who are forced to pay for AC parts separately, resulting in higher chargers. Nowadays, brands have started including extra charges for important components such as standard power plugs, water drainage pipes, and others which were earlier available for free in the box.
